Is Kiwili a bad product?
No. Kiwili has served the Quebec market for years and many businesses run it well.

If full accounting in one tool matters more than that, Kiwili is the closer fit.

Yes. Kiwili supports CSV exports for contacts, companies, projects and invoices. Import them into CRM PME via the Contacts > Import screen — our import auto-recognizes common headers in French and English, and a downloadable Excel template is available. For more complex migrations (activity history, multi-entity mapping), see the Sur Mesure plan on the Pricing page.
