Overview
Agworld and Odoo CRM serve fundamentally different domains: Agworld is purpose-built for agricultural field management with objects like Fields, Farms, Crops, and Compliance Records, while Odoo CRM uses the standard crm.lead and res.partner model with activity tracking and pipeline stages. Migrating between them requires both a domain translation (farm data → CRM contacts and leads) and a custom-field strategy for agriculture-specific attributes that have no native Odoo equivalent. We extract Agworld data via the JSON API (rate-limited at 4 concurrent requests and 200/minute), map farms to res.partner records marked as companies, fields to address records with custom crop and acreage fields, and growers to individual contacts. Seasonal planning data, soil sample results, and compliance records become custom fields on crm.lead so agronomic context is preserved in the sales pipeline. Activity history (jobs, spray records, harvest logs) migrates as mail.activity entries with original timestamps. What does not migrate: Agworld's workflow automation, integration connections to equipment or IoT devices, and the field boundary geometry (shapefiles) must be handled separately as attachments or through Odoo's GIS module. We surface all automations as exportable definitions for Odoo Studio rebuild. The migration uses a staged approach: first a sample migration of 100–200 records for field-level verification, then a full run with a 24–48 hour delta pickup window to capture in-flight changes during cutover. Pricing scales with the number of unique field records, custom property count, and whether you need multi-season history preserved. Agworld setups with heavy compliance documentation (spray records, traceability data) fall in the upper pricing range because those require extensive custom field setup in Odoo.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Agworld object lands in Odoo CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Agworld
Farm
Odoo CRM
res.partner
1:1Agworld farms map to Odoo res.partner records with type='company'. Farm name becomes partner name, farm address maps to partner address fields, and farm size is stored as a custom float field x_farm_size_acres. Multi-farm operations map each farm to a separate partner record with parent_id set if hierarchy exists in Agworld.
Agworld
Field
Odoo CRM
res.partner (Address)
1:1Agworld fields map to address records under the farm partner, storing crop type, acreage, planting date, and season-year as custom fields. Field boundary geometry (GPS coordinates) is exported as GeoJSON attachments since Odoo has no native GIS storage. Each field gets a unique identifier preserved in x_agworld_field_id for traceability.
Agworld
Grower / Operator
Odoo CRM
res.partner
1:1Agworld growers and operators map 1:1 to Odoo res.partner records with type='contact'. Name, email, phone, and address fields migrate directly. Multiple growers per farm are represented as child contacts under the farm partner record, matching Agworld's N:1 farm-to-grower relationship, with the original Agworld grower ID preserved in x_agworld_grower_id for audit trail and de-duplication purposes.
Agworld
Agronomist
Odoo CRM
res.partner + res.users
1:1Agworld agronomist accounts map to res.partner records linked to res.users records in Odoo so they can log activities. If the agronomist does not need Odoo login access, they are stored as partners only. Contact details (name, email, phone) map directly; expertise notes become a custom text field.
Agworld
Job / Activity
Odoo CRM
mail.activity
1:1Agworld jobs (spraying, planting, harvesting, soil sampling) map to Odoo mail.activity records linked to the corresponding crm.lead or res.partner. Activity type, date, notes, and product used are preserved as activity fields. The original Agworld job ID is stored in x_agworld_job_id for delta-run de-duplication.
Agworld
Recommendation
Odoo CRM
crm.lead (Notes)
1:1Agworld agronomist recommendations migrate as notes on the associated crm.lead, with the recommendation text, product suggested, and application rate stored in custom fields x_recommendation_text, x_recommended_product, and x_application_rate. Recommendation status (pending, accepted, applied) maps to a custom pick-list field for tracking the lifecycle of each agronomist suggestion within the Odoo pipeline.
Agworld
Compliance Record
Odoo CRM
Custom Model (x.compliance.record)
1:1Agworld spray records, chemical applications, and harvest compliance data require a custom compliance record model in Odoo. Fields include: record date, field_id (FK to res.partner), chemical product, rate applied, pre-harvest interval, and operator. This model links to the field record and creates an audit trail for regulatory compliance.
Agworld
Product (Inputs)
Odoo CRM
product.product
1:1Agworld product catalog entries (fertilizers, chemicals, seed) map to Odoo product.product records. Product name, SKU, unit of measure, and category map directly. Pricing and vendor information may require supplementary mapping depending on Agworld's product data depth and whether you need to preserve historical pricing or supplier relationships in Odoo.
Agworld
Soil Sample Result
Odoo CRM
res.partner (custom fields)
1:1Soil sample results attach to the field partner record via custom fields: x_soil_ph, x_soil_nitrogen, x_soil_phosphorus, x_soil_potassium, x_sample_date, and x_lab_name. Historical samples are preserved as a one2many relation on the field partner if multiple samples per field exist, allowing year-over-year soil health tracking in Odoo.
Agworld
Season / Year Planning
Odoo CRM
crm.lead (custom fields)
1:1Agworld season-level planning data (crop planned, planting date, expected yield, budget) maps to custom fields on crm.lead: x_season_year, x_planned_crop, x_planting_date, x_expected_yield, and x_season_budget. Each field's current-season lead carries this planning context alongside its compliance history, enabling seasonal forecasting within the CRM pipeline.
Agworld
Attachment / File
Odoo CRM
ir.attachment
1:1Agworld file attachments (PDFs, images, shapefiles) are re-uploaded to Odoo ir.attachment records linked to the corresponding record (field, job, compliance record). File size limits apply; Odoo default is 25MB per file. Inline images in notes are downloaded and rehosted as attachments.
Agworld
User / Owner
Odoo CRM
res.users
1:1Agworld owner IDs are resolved against Odoo res.users by email match. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration; your team either creates their Odoo user first or assigns records to a fallback owner. No record lands in Odoo without a valid user_id reference.

Migration approach
Audit Agworld data volume and design Odoo custom field schema
We begin by inventorying your Agworld data: number of farms, fields, growers, agronomists, jobs/activities, compliance records, and products. We map each agricultural attribute to the appropriate Odoo field or custom field, and create the custom models (x.compliance.record, custom fields on res.partner and crm.lead) before any data moves. This includes designing pick-list values for crop types, soil classifications, and recommendation statuses, plus defining custom float fields for acreage, application rates, and soil nutrient levels. You approve the schema plan before extraction starts.
Extract data from Agworld API with rate-limit throttling
We connect to the Agworld JSON API using your API credentials, extracting records in paginated batches of 100 to manage memory usage and enable restart capability. Agworld's 4-concurrent-request limit and 200 requests/minute ceiling are respected via request throttling implemented in our extraction script; large migrations run extraction across multiple sessions spaced over hours or overnight to stay within the 5,000 requests/hour maximum. All records are exported to a staging PostgreSQL database for transformation and mapping. The original Agworld IDs are preserved in custom fields for traceability and delta-run de-duplication.
Transform and map data to Odoo model, resolving owner assignments
Farm records become res.partner (company type), fields become child partner addresses with custom crop and acreage fields, growers become contact partners, and jobs become mail.activity entries linked to the appropriate CRM leads or partner records. Owner IDs are resolved by email match against Odoo res.users; unmatched owners are flagged for your team to create Odoo accounts or assign to a fallback owner. Compliance records insert into the custom x.compliance.record model with foreign-key links to the field partner records.
Run sample migration of 100–200 records for field-level verification
A representative slice of farms, fields, growers, and activities migrates first—typically 100–200 records covering multiple record types and edge cases. We generate a field-level diff comparing source Agworld values against the destination Odoo fields so you can verify custom field mapping (crop type, acreage, soil data), owner resolution, and activity linking before the full run commits. This catchpoint lets us adjust mapping rules, transformation logic, or custom field definitions before touching production data volumes. You approve the sample before we proceed to full extraction.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and one-click rollback
The full migration loads all records into Odoo using batched XML-RPC or JSON-RPC calls. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window captures any Agworld records created or modified during the cutover period—new jobs, updated recommendations, completed activities. An audit log records every insert, update, and link operation with timestamps and user references. If reconciliation reveals unexpected issues, one-click rollback reverts the Odoo database to its pre-migration state. We conduct a final data integrity check against Agworld record counts before sign-off.
