Justin Jackman Updated by Justin Jackman

As outlined in recent email communications, the XactRemodel desktop solution will officially be discontinued on July 1, 2025. To ensure continued access to your data, you will need to backup your data from within XactRemodel desktop before you lose access. If you would prefer to use Xactimate going forward, this document will walk you through how to import your data into Xactimate.

If you need help converting your data, please reach out to our support team using our 24/7 live chat service via the eService Center: http://eservice.xactware.com/

Convert your data into an Xactimate-formatted ESX file

The ESX files generated in XactRemodel are structured differently than ESX files in Xactimate, so in order to be able to import them into Xactimate, you first need to convert them to the Xactimate-supported format. To do so:

  1. Login to your XactRemodel account through an Internet browser: https://app.xactremodel.com/login
  2. Click the Settings button at the bottom left
  3. Scroll to the bottom of the Settings page, and in the Desktop ESX Converter section, click CHOOSE FILE(S)
  4. Select the desired XactRemodel Desktop ESX files in the selection window, and click OK
  5. The files will be converted and automatically saved to your computer

Import your data into Xactimate

Once your files have been converted to the Xactimate-supported format, they can be data transferred into your Xactimate account. To do so:

  1. Login to your Xactimate account
  2. Click Tools in the left-hand navigation menu
  3. In the Data Transfer section, select the Import option then click the Folder icon next to the Location section
  4. Once the location of the ESX file(s) has been selected, click "SELECT DATA". This will load any supported ESX files into the Data Transfer window
  5. Select the desired file(s), then click Import
  6. The selected file(s) will import into Xactimate
