Replacing a legacy leasing platform
Most providers do not choose administration software from a blank page — they replace something that has stopped keeping up, usually while running a live book. This is what migration actually involves, what tends to go wrong, and the questions worth asking any vendor before you commit.
What a migration has to account for
| Capability | Catch-e |
|---|---|
| Implementation modelWho does the work, and how long before the program is live. | YesDirect, by the Catch-e team; existing book migrated in |
| Multi-employer administrationRunning many employers, each with their own packaging rules and payroll, from one system. | YesPer-employer rules, payroll configs and reporting |
| Australian FBT complianceStatutory and operating-cost methods, ECM, the $15,900 and $30,000 grossed-up caps, PBI and rebatable treatment. | YesBoth methods, ECM to nil, cap categories, employee declarations, year-end reporting |
| Salary packaging administrationBenefit catalogues, FBT caps and payroll-aligned deductions, not just vehicles. | YesBenefit catalogue, cap governance, claims, cards, year-end reporting |
| Novated leasing administration | YesFull lifecycle: quote, contract, budgets, deductions, claims, FBT, exits |
Who each option suits
The book moves, the history has to move with it
Active contracts are the easy part. What matters is the state attached to them: budget consumed to date, claims paid, part-year FBT positions, employee contributions already made. A migration that resets those at cutover creates a year of reconciliation.
Part-year FBT is the sharpest edge
If you cut over mid-FBT-year, taxable values, days available and contributions already applied all have to carry across correctly or year-end will not reconcile. Ask any vendor to explain exactly how they handle a mid-year cutover before anything else.
Employers and payroll files have their own timeline
Every employer has a pay cycle you cannot interrupt. In practice migrations are sequenced employer by employer around pay runs rather than as a single switch, which takes longer but does not put anyone’s pay at risk.
Ask who does the work
The difference between a vendor who migrates your book and a vendor who gives you an import template is several months of your team’s time. Get that answered specifically, in writing, before signing.
