## Before switching software

Can I bring my academy’s data?

We help you review the records you want to migrate and your current provider’s export options. We agree on the scope before making the switch

Do I need special kiosk hardware?

You can use a compatible academy device with internet access. MatGoat does not include the hardware

How can I see whether it fits my academy?

Book a demo to review classes, billing, and student tracking with our team. We will show you the workflows you need and how to get started
