Overview
axiUm Dental stores patient demographics, clinical charts, appointments, and billing in an on-premise or Citrix-delivered database structured for dental-school workflows. Because axiom has no public REST API, migration relies on direct database queries or CSV extracts through axiom's export module. Freshsales uses a standard CRM object model (Lead, Contact, Account, Deal, Task, Event) with a REST API capped at 1,000 requests per hour on Growth-tier accounts, or CSV import for bulk loads. FlitStack AI extracts patient records and companies from axiom's database, maps them to Freshsales Contacts and Accounts, converts axiom appointments to Freshsales Tasks or Events, and creates Deals for treatment-plan or billing milestones. Clinical notes, perio-chart data, and odontogram records have no equivalent in Freshsales and are preserved as file attachments for reference. Workflows, student-evaluation forms, and billing-rules defined in axiom do not carry over and must be rebuilt in Freshsales' automation engine.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a axiUm Dental object lands in Freshsales, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
axiUm Dental
Patient
Freshsales
Contact
1:1axiUm patient records map directly to Freshsales Contacts. Each axiom patient becomes one Contact record with first name, last name, email, phone, address, and date of birth transferred. axiom patient IDs are stored in Freshsales as Source_System_ID__c for traceability. Custom fields are created under the Contact module to hold any non-standard data elements that do not map to native Freshsales fields.
axiUm Dental
Patient
Freshsales
Lead
1:manyaxiUm patients who have never booked an appointment are classified as Leads in Freshsales. Active and recall patients with appointment history become Contacts. The split logic is based on whether an appointment record exists in axiom linked to the patient. All patient demographics transfer to the corresponding record type, with the original axiom patient ID preserved in Source_System_ID__c.
axiUm Dental
Company (clinic or practice entity)
Freshsales
Account
1:1axiUm Company records (institutional practices, referral partners, or external labs) map to Freshsales Accounts. Account Name, Website, Industry, and Phone transfer directly. Multi-location axiom accounts require one Account per location. The axiom company ID is stored in Freshsales Source_System_ID__c for cross-reference and delta-run matching.
axiUm Dental
Appointment
Freshsales
Task
1:1axiUm appointment records map to Freshsales Tasks with Subject set to the appointment type, due date set to the scheduled date, and owner resolved by email match against Freshsales Users. Status is set to Open on migration. Provider-to-email cross-reference file from the institution's IT team is required to complete the owner mapping accurately.
axiUm Dental
Appointment
Freshsales
Event
1:1axiUm appointments with start and end times map to Freshsales Events. Start time, end time, and associated Contact/Account links are preserved. The appointment type (exam, hygiene, surgical) is stored in the Event Subject field. Both Task and Event records are created from the same axiom appointment to maintain scheduling and follow-up context.
axiUm Dental
Transaction
Freshsales
Deal
1:1axiUm financial Transactions (billing records) with outstanding or proposed amounts map to Freshsales Deals. The transaction amount maps to Deal Amount, and the transaction date maps to Close Date. Deal Stage is set based on transaction status: 'Completed' maps to Closed Won, 'Pending' maps to Negotiation.
axiUm Dental
Extended Fields (institution-specific custom fields)
Freshsales
Contact custom fields
1:1axiUm Extended Fields vary per institution and often contain treatment-specific data (e.g., referring provider ID, insurance plan group, preferred appointment time). Freshsales requires a custom field to be created under each module before migration. Sprout plan has 0 custom fields; Blossom allows 10, Garden 100, Estate/Forest 300.
axiUm Dental
Treatment Plan
Freshsales
Deal + custom field
1:1axiUm Treatment Plans store procedure codes and fee schedules. We create one Freshsales Deal per Treatment Plan with the total planned amount, and attach the treatment plan document as a Salesforce File linked to the Deal. Individual procedure codes are stored in a custom multi-select pick-list field.
axiUm Dental
Perio Chart / Clinical Notes
Freshsales
Notes / Attachment
1:1axiUm periodontal chart data and clinical notes have no schema-equivalent in Freshsales CRM. These are exported as PDF attachments and linked to the Contact record. Clinical content cannot be searched or filtered in Freshsales but is preserved for reference.
axiUm Dental
User / Provider (dentist, hygienist)
Freshsales
User
1:1axiUm provider records map to Freshsales Users by email match. axiom does not expose user email in a standard field, so a cross-reference file from the institution's IT team is required to map provider IDs to email addresses before migration. This file is critical for accurate task and event owner assignment in Freshsales.

Migration approach
Scope discovery and IT coordination for axiom data extraction
FlitStack AI reviews your axiom database schema or coordinates with your IT team to extract CSV reports for patients, companies, appointments, and transactions. We identify Extended Field names and counts, flag any HIPAA-sensitive fields requiring encrypted storage, and request the provider-to-email cross-reference file needed to resolve Freshsales task owners. The output is a migration scope document listing record counts per object, any non-standard field types, and the recommended Freshsales plan tier.
Create Freshsales custom fields and configure pipeline stages
Before data moves, your Freshsales admin (or our team) creates the custom fields needed to hold axiom data that has no native Freshsales equivalent — date_of_birth, gender, original_create_date, ssn, and any Extended Field pick-lists. We also configure Deal Stages to match axiom transaction statuses (e.g., Completed = Closed Won, Pending = Negotiation). If you are on Freshsales Sprout or Blossom, we flag the plan upgrade requirement during this step.
Transform and clean axiom data for Freshsales schema
axiUm data rarely exports in a flat, CRM-ready format. We write transformation scripts to split axiom patients into Freshsales Leads and Contacts based on appointment history, flatten company-to-contact relationships into Account-to-Contact lookups, convert appointment provider IDs to Freshsales OwnerIds via the email cross-reference file, and map axiom Extended Field values to the corresponding Freshsales custom pick-list fields. Records with missing required fields (no email, no name) are flagged in a cleansing report for your team to resolve.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 200–500 patient records spanning multiple axiom clinics — migrates into Freshsales first. We generate a field-level diff between the source axiom export and the resulting Freshsales records so you can verify contact name accuracy, address completeness, appointment owner assignment, and Deal amount correctness before the full run commits. Any mapping corrections are applied before the bulk migration begins.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and audit log
The full axiom dataset loads into Freshsales via CSV import or API bulk operations, respecting Freshsales' rate limits (1,000 requests/hour on Growth). A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window captures any axiom records created or modified during cutover. FlitStack AI logs every create, update, and link operation in an audit trail. One-click rollback reverts the Freshsales org to its pre-migration state if reconciliation fails. Post-migration, your team receives a data quality report and the axiom workflow export for Freshsales automation rebuild.
