# Do I have to replace my current contractor software?

No. Most contractors run ContractorPro alongside what they already use during the first few weeks. It connects to email, calendar, accounting and messaging tools, so the AI employees work on live data while your existing system stays in place. Teams typically retire the old tool once estimating, scheduling and invoicing have run cleanly in ContractorPro for a full billing cycle.

## A low-risk rollout order


- Week 1: connect email, calendar and accounting; import customers and open jobs
- Week 2: run lead response and estimating in approve-to-act mode
- Week 3: move scheduling and dispatch onto the live board
- Week 4: switch invoicing and collections over, then retire duplicate tools

## What stays connected long term

Accounting usually stays: ContractorPro pushes invoices and payments into it rather than replacing the ledger. Calendars, inboxes and payment processing also remain yours.
