Switch from Zoho Solo · Updated May 2026

Switching from Zoho Solo to JobStack: a step-by-step guide.

You've decided to move off Zoho Solo. This guide walks through what to export, how to clean it up, how to import into JobStack, and how to run both in parallel so you don't get stranded.

Why operators leave Zoho Solo

• It wasn't built for field work. Zoho Solo handles clients and invoices, but it doesn't schedule jobs at addresses, dispatch, or model on-site service the way a trade needs day to day.
• You want AI for the trades. Texting back a missed call from a rooftop, voice-to-estimate at the panel, chasing open bids — none of that exists in Zoho Solo.
• Mobile-only is limiting. Zoho Solo is a phone app with no desktop version. Reviewing your week or doing heavier admin is easier when there's a web app too.
• You need trade-specific details. Permit photos on an address, deposits on material-heavy jobs, recurring routes, on-site card payments — the things a general solopreneur app doesn't cover.

What carries over, what changes

The migration, step by step

1. 1

   Export your data from Zoho Solo

   Export your clients, invoices, and expense records from Zoho Solo. There's usually less to move than from a full CRM — save the files somewhere you'll keep them for at least 90 days.

2. 2

   Map your work to jobs

   JobStack organizes around jobs at addresses rather than generic tasks. Before importing, think about how your current clients and projects become scheduled jobs.

3. 3

   Import into JobStack

   Sign up at launch, go to Settings → Import, and upload your Zoho Solo exports. JobStack maps clients and invoices automatically and flags anything ambiguous.

4. 4

   Set up scheduling and AI

   Add jobs to the calendar and turn on missed-call text-back, voice-to-estimate, and automated follow-ups — the field-service AI Zoho Solo doesn't have.

5. 5

   Reconnect payments and SMS

   Connect your payment processor and SMS number so you can invoice and message customers from the field.

6. 6

   Test with a real job

   Run one real service call end-to-end in JobStack before leaving Zoho Solo: customer, schedule, on-site estimate, invoice, payment.

7. 7

   Decide what stays in Zoho

   If you use other Zoho apps (Mail, Books), decide what stays there versus what moves. Then cancel Zoho Solo and archive your exports.

Common gotchas

• JobStack is job-first, not accounting-first — if you leaned on Zoho Solo's expense/reporting depth, plan to keep heavier bookkeeping in dedicated software.

• No free tier in JobStack — it's paid from $29/mo, so confirm the trade-specific features justify leaving Zoho Solo's free or ~$8/mo plan.

• Zoho ecosystem ties — if Zoho Solo connects to other Zoho apps you use, untangle that before canceling.

• Invoice numbering resets unless you set JobStack to continue from your last Zoho Solo number (Settings → Numbering).
