Get your data out of your PSA

Headroom works from exports you can already run: five CSV files and your contract PDFs. These guides say which list or report gives each file in the systems MSPs use most, and how its columns map to Headroom's.

You don't need every file to start. The clients file is the one Headroom needs; a ticket export is the next most useful, and each file you add lets Headroom check more.

What Headroom reads

Five CSV files and the agreements behind them.
ClientsRequired
The baseline every opportunity is checked against. From your PSA or billing system.
TicketsRecommended
Finds out-of-scope and unbilled work. From your PSA.
Time entries
Finds unbilled time and support over allowance. From your PSA.
Users & devices
Finds agreement drift and unbilled licences. From your RMM or Microsoft 365.
Billing / agreements
Finds billing mismatches and unbilled licences. From your billing or accounting system.
Contracts
Finds work the agreement excludes. Signed agreements, SOWs and service schedules.

Date range

Three to six months of activity, and what is in place today.
  • Export three to six months of tickets and time entries, ending with the last full month. Use the same start and end date for both: the analysis period is the months those dates span.
  • Fewer than three months gives too little to compare; more than six makes old agreements and leavers more likely to blur the picture.
  • The clients file, users and devices, and billing lines describe what is in place now: current agreements, active users and devices, and current recurring charges. They have no date range.
  • Users and devices with a created or first-seen date let Headroom tell when each one was added, so a monthly figure reflects when growth happened.
