Importing existing bookings from CSV

Migrating from another system? Import your bookings via CSV.

Preparing your file

Your CSV should include columns for:

  • Date and time
  • Pickup address
  • Drop-off address
  • Passenger name
  • Vehicle class
  • Fare amount
  • Contact phone/email (optional)
  • Import steps

  • Go to Jobs and click the "Import" button.
  • Upload your CSV or Excel file.
  • Column mapping — KAIRO's AI automatically maps your column headers to the correct fields. Review and adjust if needed.
  • Preview — Check the first few rows to make sure the data looks correct.
  • Import — Click "Import" to create the bookings. They'll appear as draft jobs for you to review.
  • After import

  • Review imported jobs and update any missing details.
  • Assign drivers and vehicles as needed.
  • Change status from draft to pending when ready.
  • Tips

  • Export from your old system in CSV or XLSX format.
  • KAIRO handles most date formats automatically (DD/MM/YYYY, YYYY-MM-DD, etc.).
  • For large imports (500+ rows), the process runs in the background.
