The Real Cost of Manual Migration

Your time is worth $50-100/hour. Stop wasting it on tedious data exports.

The Old Way

Manual Export/Import

  • Export to shapefiles 8-16 hrs
  • Import to PostGIS 8-16 hrs
  • Fix broken geometries 4-8 hrs
  • Handle attachments manually 8-16 hrs
  • Fix data loss & relationships 12-24 hrs
Total Time: 44-88 hours
Labor Cost (@$75/hr): $3,300 - $6,600
The Arc2Post Way

Payback: First migration pays for itself 20x over

Engineered for Absolute Reliability

Arc2Post handles the edge cases that break standard open-source tools.

Save 40+ Hours

What takes 1 week manually takes 1 afternoon. Automated schema translation, data migration, and validation. Reduces human error to zero.

Zero Data Loss

Binary GUIDs converted to proper UUIDs. Microsecond precision preserved. Empty vs NULL logic maintained. Binary attachments auto-extracted.

Complete Schema Translation

Domains become PostgreSQL ENUMs. Relationship Classes become Foreign Keys. Full support for 3D (Z) and Measure (M) coordinates.

Performance & Scalability

Memory-efficient row streaming. Tune batch sizes from 1K to 50K. Multi-threaded processing uses all CPU cores. Tested with millions of rows.

Migration Reliability

Pre-migration connection checks. Post-migration ST_IsValid geometry checks. Resume capability for failed migrations. ACID compliant.

Professional Desktop App

A native GUI built for professionals — not a Python script wrapped in a terminal. Hand it to a junior staff member and they'll get it right on the first try.

Four Clicks. Zero CLI Commands.

A modern GUI designed for professionals, not a clunky Python script.

Step 1: Browse

Select your .gdb folder — or let it auto-detect from a directory.

Step 2: Connect

Enter PostgreSQL credentials and test connection — built right in.

Step 3: Review

Preview tables, row counts, and attachment sizes before migration starts.

Step 4: Execute

Watch progress bars with real-time ETA while it streams data to PostgreSQL.

The GUI is the feature

What the GUI Does That Scripts Can't

At $179, you're not paying for a fancy wrapper around ogr2ogr. You're paying for a tool that makes a 3-hour migration feel manageable.

Visual Progress + ETA

Real-time progress bars for every table with time-remaining estimates. Know exactly when a 3-hour migration will finish — without staring at a terminal.

Attachment Browser

Browse extracted images and PDFs in organized, named folders right from the app — no digging through blob dumps or file system archaeology.

Batch Size Slider

Tune performance from 1K to 50K rows per batch with a simple slider — no config files, no restarting, no reading documentation.

Cancel & Resume Anytime

Safe pause and resume if your connection drops mid-migration. Don't start over — just pick up where you left off.

Dark Mode

Because you're migrating databases at 2 AM and a blinding white screen is the last thing you need.

Migration Reports

Export a professional Markdown or JSON migration report for clients and documentation — not a terminal log dump.

Built for GIS Professionals

Not for hobbyists. Not for academics. For the people whose clients expect results on Monday.

GIS Consultants

Who want to deliver — not explain

You need to hand clients a professional migration report — not a terminal log and a prayer. Arc2Post exports Markdown and JSON summaries your clients can actually read. One migration pays for the tool 20 times over.

  • Export client-ready migration reports (Markdown/JSON)
  • Save connection profiles for repeat clients
  • Unlimited migrations per machine

Database Admins

Who need to delegate without risk

You need to hand off the task to junior staff without teaching them Python. Arc2Post's GUI is self-explanatory — if they can follow four steps, they can migrate a geodatabase.

  • No training required — GUI is self-explanatory
  • Review step previews before any data is touched
  • Detailed error logs (not cryptic tracebacks)

"Will this break my data?"

Arc2Post never touches your source GDB. The destination PostgreSQL database is created fresh. Your original data is read-only throughout the entire process.

During migration, a live validation screen turns green row-by-row as each table is confirmed. If anything fails, you get a detailed error log — not a cryptic Python traceback — so you know exactly what happened and why.
