Switching to VIMA means moving your patients, appointments and, where your current software allows it, your records and documents into VIMA.care, practice software for paramedical practices in Belgium. VIMA has import wizards for Punto (with your Ulink login), Crossuite, the new version of Crossuite, Progenda and Salonized, a CSV or Excel import for a patient list, and an import of your online booking page configuration. You log in or upload a file, link your treatment types and practitioners, and VIMA imports. Invoices and payments do not come along. The wizards are included in VIMA, which costs €30 per month excl. VAT for the first practitioner, with a 60 day free trial, and we help you with the switch free of charge.

Does this sound like you?

You want to switch, but typing in every patient again is not an option.

An import wizard fetches your patients and appointments from your current software. With a CSV or Excel file you import a patient list from any package.

Your future appointments have to stay where they are.

With Crossuite you move the future appointments first and the history after. The other wizards bring your appointments along too, linked to the treatment types you choose.

Setting up your booking page again takes an evening.

Import the configuration of your existing online booking page: locations, practitioners, consultation types and working schedules.

What you get

Punto

Log in with your Ulink credentials. Patients, appointments, notes on past appointments and files come along.

Crossuite

Patients, appointments, locations, notes and documents, and the clinical records as historical reports. Future appointments first, history after.

Crossuite, new version

Log in with a code by email. Patients with health insurer, appointments, working schedules, record forms as reports and documents.

Progenda

Patients, appointments, consultation types, practitioners and working schedules, with a preview before you import.

Salonized

Customers as patients and their appointments, based on the Salonized exports.

CSV or Excel

A patient list from any software, with columns you link yourself and duplicates you handle yourself.

Booking page carried over

Locations, practitioners, consultation types and working schedules from your existing online booking page, for example from Crossuite or Esculon.

Roll back

An import can be rolled back. VIMA then removes only what that import created.

Part of VIMA.care, browser-based practice software for multidisciplinary care and paramedical practices in Belgium. Works on web, iPad, smartphone, Mac and Windows.

How a switch to VIMA works

Every import wizard follows the same steps. You decide what goes where; VIMA does the typing.

  1. Credentials or file

    You enter the login of your current software, such as your Ulink login for Punto or a code by email for the new Crossuite, or you upload a CSV or Excel file.

  2. Fetch

    VIMA fetches your data and shows the progress. For larger practices this runs in the background.

  3. Link

    You link the treatment types and practitioners from your old software to those in VIMA, create a new practitioner or skip a type.

  4. Import

    VIMA imports the patients first, then the appointments and then documents and notes. For Progenda, the new Crossuite and the CSV import you first see a preview without anything being saved.

  5. Enrich

    For Punto and Crossuite, VIMA then fills in the notes on past appointments with the content of the consultation forms.

  6. Result

    You see what was imported. Running an import again only adds what was not there yet, and rolling an import back only removes what that import created.

What comes along, per software

What you can move depends on what your current software allows. This is what the wizards fetch today.

Punto (Ulink)

Patients with contact details, date of birth, shoe size and notes, and their tags. Appointments, past and future, with a consultation holding the notes for each past appointment. Files in their own folder per patient.

Crossuite

Patients with contact details and national register number, appointments with their locations, consultations for past appointments and documents. With the clinical import, the clinical records from the patient file come in as historical reports.

Crossuite, new version

Patients with health insurer, increased reimbursement status and GP, appointments, busy blocks, working schedules and lunch breaks, record forms as reports with their original date, and documents.

Progenda

Patients, appointments, consultation types, practitioners and working schedules.

Salonized

Customers as patients with contact details and notes, and their appointments, past and future.

CSV or Excel

A patient list: name, gender, address, phone, email, date of birth, national register number and notes. VIMA spots duplicates by national register number or name, and you choose: skip, merge or overwrite.

Booking page configuration

Locations, practitioners, consultation types with duration, colour and price, and working schedules, from a public booking page of Crossuite or Esculon. Another booking page we look at by hand.

What does not come along

An honest switch starts with knowing what is left for you to do.

Invoices and payments

No wizard imports invoices, payment receipts or payments. Your financial history stays in your old software or your accounts.

Cancelled and deleted appointments

Cancelled appointments and public holidays from Progenda, and deleted calendar items from the new Crossuite, do not come along.

Availability from Punto

Free blocks and availability from Punto do not come along; you set your working hours in VIMA.

Types you skip

Treatment types you set to skip while linking, and their appointments, do not come along.

Patients in a booking page import

A booking page import only takes over the configuration, no patients and no appointments.

Fields outside the CSV list

Columns that do not match a VIMA patient field are left out by the CSV import.

Rules and limits

How VIMA handles duplicates, periods and your existing data.

Duplicates

With Crossuite and Salonized, VIMA links an existing patient by name and date of birth. With Punto and the new Crossuite, VIMA creates a new patient and flags a possible duplicate, so you decide.

Period

With Progenda and the new Crossuite you fetch appointments from a start date you choose, five years back by default, up to twelve months ahead.

Rollback

A rollback removes only what that import created. Appointments you have charged or changed in VIMA in the meantime stay.

Importing again

If you run the same import again later, VIMA only adds what was not imported yet.

Your old software

It keeps working until you decide. You try VIMA free for 60 days and cancel your old package when you are ready.

Help

We help you with the switch free of charge. Email [email protected].

Switching per discipline

The wizards work the same way for every discipline. This is what comes along on top per discipline, or what you set up in VIMA afterwards.

Podiatry

The Punto import brings the shoe size along. Biomechanical record forms from the new Crossuite come in as reports. You fill in the foot chart in VIMA.

Speech therapy

Patients and appointments through a wizard or CSV. The reimbursement files per pathology, with prescription and quota, you create in VIMA afterwards.

Specialised foot care

Patients and appointments through a wizard or CSV. Home visits are then planned on a location of the home visit type, and the at-risk foot screening starts in VIMA.

Dietetics

The shared core: patients and appointments through a wizard or CSV. Weight and other details from Crossuite land in the patient notes.

Osteopathy

The shared core: with Crossuite the clinical records come along as historical reports, so the history is in the record.

Retyping, exporting yourself or an import wizard in VIMA

A switch can happen in three ways. The difference is how much is left for you.

What an export from your current software contains differs per package. VIMA: as of October 2026.

Switching and privacy

What the VIMA privacy policy says about patient data, in short.

  • Your practice is the controller of the patient data you import. Saasbuilders BV, the company behind VIMA, processes it as a processor on behalf of your practice.
  • Patient data is never used for marketing and never sold.

Frequently asked questions about switching

Can I switch from Crossuite to VIMA?

Yes. VIMA has an import wizard for Crossuite and one for the new version of Crossuite. Your patients, appointments, notes and documents come along, and the clinical records from the patient file come in as historical reports. You can move the future appointments first and the history after.

Can I switch from Progenda?

Yes. The Progenda wizard fetches your patients, appointments, consultation types, practitioners and working schedules. You see a preview first, and then VIMA imports.

Can I switch from Punto?

Yes, with your Ulink login. Patients, appointments, notes on past appointments and files come along, with your patients' shoe size and tags.

Can I switch from Salonized?

Yes. VIMA fetches your customers and appointments from the Salonized exports and turns them into patients and appointments.

My software is not on the list. Can I still switch?

Yes. You import your patient list as a CSV or Excel file, link the columns and choose what happens with duplicates. You then plan appointments in VIMA. Email [email protected], we help you free of charge.

Do my invoices and payments come along?

No. No import wizard moves invoices, payment receipts or payments. Your financial history stays in your old software or your accounts.

What happens with duplicate patients?

That depends on the import. With the CSV import, VIMA looks for duplicates by national register number or name and you choose: skip, merge or overwrite. Crossuite and Salonized link by name and date of birth. Punto and the new Crossuite flag a possible duplicate, so you decide.

Can I undo an import?

Yes. An import can be rolled back, and VIMA then removes only what that import created. Appointments you have charged or changed in VIMA in the meantime stay.

Can I carry over my online booking page?

Yes. You import the configuration of a public booking page of Crossuite or Esculon: locations, practitioners, consultation types and working schedules. Patients and appointments are not part of it.

Do I have to cancel my current software straight away?

No. You try VIMA free for 60 days next to your current software and cancel the old package when you are ready.

What does switching to VIMA cost?

The import wizards are included and we help you free of charge. VIMA costs €30 per month excl. VAT for the first practitioner and €25 per month excl. VAT per extra practitioner, with a 60 day free trial.

Related features

One shared core. Shaped deeply for each discipline.

VIMA keeps one reliable core: the same calendar, records and receipts run every practice. On top of that core, the workflows are shaped per supported discipline, using feedback from the professionals who use VIMA in their daily practice.

Dedicated workflow depth is currently available for podiatry, speech therapy and specialised foot care. Dietitian practices currently use the configurable shared core for scheduling, records, forms, consultation types and payments.

Which treatment types and practitioners you link, and what you skip, you decide yourself during the import. The wizards are part of the shared core for every practice, while podiatry, speech therapy and specialised foot care keep their own record depth once the data is in.
