Overview
Badger Maps organizes field sales around accounts, contacts, routes, and check-in logs — treating the map as the primary interface for territory management. Odoo CRM treats leads and opportunities as the primary sales object, with contacts as res.partner records and pipeline stages managed through stage groups. The migration carries Badger accounts into Odoo contacts and companies, check-in records into Odoo activities, and route/territory data as custom fields or tags on the contact record. Odoo has no native route-optimization engine — if territory routing is a core workflow, that logic must be rebuilt using Odoo's custom fields and activity scheduling, or a third-party routing integration. FlitStack AI sequences the migration so foreign-key relationships resolve correctly: accounts first, then contacts with their parent account links, then activities tied to those contacts. We use Badger's REST API v2 for data extraction and Odoo's XML-RPC interface for insertion, respecting Odoo's rate-limit constraints to avoid bulk-import throttling. The delta-pickup window captures any check-ins or account updates made during the cutover so Odoo reflects Badger's final state at go-live.
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 Badger Maps 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.
Badger Maps
Account
Odoo CRM
res.partner
1:1Badger accounts map directly to Odoo res.partner records with type='contact'. The account name becomes partner.name, address fields map to street, city, state_id, country_id, and zip. Latitude/longitude from Badger are stored as custom Decimal fields on the partner record since Odoo does not natively store geocoordinates on contacts.
Badger Maps
Account (with company relationship)
Odoo CRM
res.partner (company) + res.partner (contact)
1:manyBadger accounts that represent companies map to a parent res.partner with is_company=True. Badger contacts linked to that account map as child res.partner records with parent_id set to the company partner. This reproduces Badger's account-to-contact hierarchy in Odoo's partner structure. The parent-child relationship is preserved so Odoo displays the company and its contacts in a linked hierarchy view, maintaining the organizational context your team built in Badger Maps.
Badger Maps
Contact (within Badger account)
Odoo CRM
res.partner
1:1Badger contacts stored as sub-records of an account become res.partner with parent_id pointing to the company partner. Fields including name, email, phone, mobile, and job title map to Odoo's standard contact fields. Badger contact IDs are preserved in a custom Source_ID field for delta-run deduplication.
Badger Maps
Route
Odoo CRM
crm.team or custom tag on res.partner
1:1Badger routes have no Odoo equivalent — Odoo has crm.team for sales teams and tags on partners for segmentation. FlitStack maps Badger route names to a custom Char field (badger_route__c) on the partner, or creates crm.team records named after each route and assigns partners via team_id. Route ordering and optimization logic is not migratable and must be rebuilt in Odoo.
Badger Maps
Check-in / Visit log
Odoo CRM
mail.activity
1:1Badger check-in records include timestamp, account link, meeting notes, and GPS coordinates. FlitStack transforms these into Odoo mail.activity records with activity_type_id='meeting' or 'call', date=True, and the Badger check-in notes stored in the activity's note field. Original GPS coordinates stored in custom Decimal fields on the activity record.
Badger Maps
Category / Tag
Odoo CRM
res.partner.category (ir.model.data)
1:1Badger category assignments on accounts (e.g., 'Specialty: Cardiology') map to Odoo res.partner.category tags. Each unique Badger category value creates a corresponding Odoo tag. Partners with multiple categories receive all corresponding tags. During migration, FlitStack compiles all unique Badger category values first, then pre-creates matching Odoo tags before inserting partner records so tag assignments resolve correctly on the first pass.
Badger Maps
Custom Text field
Odoo CRM
ir.model.field (Char)
1:1Badger custom Text fields map to Odoo Char fields created on res.partner. Field labels are preserved exactly as they appear in Badger. For multi-value custom fields with delimited data, FlitStack stores the concatenated string in the Char field or converts values into Odoo tags depending on the data pattern identified during audit. Odoo's Char fields support up to 255 characters.
Badger Maps
Custom Numeric field
Odoo CRM
ir.model.field (Float or Integer)
1:1Badger custom Numeric fields map to Odoo Float or Integer fields on res.partner based on the field's original scale and precision. If the Badger field stores whole numbers, FlitStack creates an Integer field; if it contains decimal values, a Float field is used. Badger numeric values with decimal precision are preserved exactly during migration so that any calculations or reporting based on these numbers remains accurate in Odoo.
Badger Maps
Follow-up date
Odoo CRM
mail.activity (date_deadline)
1:1Badger follow-up dates on accounts migrate as Odoo mail.activity records with date_deadline set to the follow-up date, activity_type_id='meeting', and the partner linked via res_id/res_model. This populates Odoo's 'Activities' tab on each contact. If an account has multiple follow-up dates, each date becomes a separate mail.activity record. The activity appears in the partner's activity stream, allowing reps to track upcoming tasks and managers to view scheduled follow-ups in Odoo's pipeline view.
Badger Maps
Account Owner / Assigned rep
Odoo CRM
res.users (via user_id on res.partner)
1:1Badger owner assignments map by email match to Odoo res.users. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration; records are assigned to a fallback Odoo user or left with no user_id and flagged for manual assignment. Odoo's user_id field on partner is the closest equivalent to Badger's per-account owner.
Badger Maps
Lead (from Badger lead generation)
Odoo CRM
crm.lead
1:1If Badger's lead generation feature produces records, these map to Odoo crm.lead. Name, email, phone, source, and any custom fields translate to crm.lead fields (partner_name for company, contact_name for individual, email_from, phone). Stage defaults to Odoo's first pipeline stage. FlitStack maps Badger lead status values to corresponding Odoo stage names where possible, preserving pipeline context as leads enter the Odoo CRM workflow.
Badger Maps
Attachment / File on account
Odoo CRM
ir.attachment linked to res.partner
1:1Files attached to Badger accounts (e.g., documents, images) are downloaded and re-uploaded as Odoo ir.attachment records linked to the corresponding partner via res_model='res.partner' and res_id=partner_id. Odoo attachment size limits apply. FlitStack preserves the original filename and file extension during upload. If attachments exceed Odoo's size limit, FlitStack flags these for review and provides guidance on alternative storage such as external document management or cloud storage links within the contact record.

Migration approach
Audit Badger data schema and custom fields
FlitStack connects to Badger Maps via API token and exports a full inventory of accounts, contacts, check-ins, routes, categories, and custom field definitions. We profile the record count per object, identify N:N category assignments, flag accounts without email or phone, and catalog every custom field name and type. This audit produces a migration scope document that identifies which Badger data maps directly to Odoo fields and which requires custom field creation. Any ambiguous custom field (e.g., text-encoded dates) is flagged for value-mapping decisions before extraction begins.
Create Odoo custom fields and tags
Before data insertion, FlitStack creates the custom Decimal fields for geocoordinates (badger_latitude__c, badger_longitude__c), custom Char fields for each Badger custom Text field, and custom Numeric fields for Badger custom Numeric fields. We also create the res.partner.category tags that correspond to Badger category values. If Badger route names need to become crm.team records, those are created at this stage. Odoo custom field creation requires developer mode or Studio access; FlitStack operates with an Odoo admin API credential that has those permissions.
Resolve Badger owners to Odoo users by email
Badger owner assignments on accounts map by email address to Odoo res.users. FlitStack generates a match report before migration: matched owners link directly, unmatched owners are listed with the record count affected. Your team decides whether to invite the unmatched user to Odoo first or assign their records to a fallback Odoo user. No record lands in Odoo without a resolved user_id — this prevents orphaned records in Odoo's assignment-based activity routing.
Migrate accounts and contacts in dependency order
Odoo requires res.partner company records before child contact records (via parent_id). FlitStack sequences the migration: first all Badger accounts that are companies, then all Badger contacts with their parent_id set, then all standalone Badger accounts. Check-ins are inserted after contacts so the activity-to-partner foreign key resolves. Route names are written as custom Char fields on each partner after the partner record is created. This sequencing prevents the orphaned-record problem where an activity references a partner that does not yet exist.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 200–500 Badger account records spanning the range of custom field configurations — migrates to a staging Odoo database. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values against destination field values, flagging any transformation errors (date format shifts, truncated text, missing category tags). You review the staging environment and approve the field mapping before the full run commits. This is the checkpoint where geocoordinate preservation, custom field mapping, and owner resolution are validated end-to-end.
Full migration with delta-pickup and audit log
The full dataset migrates to production Odoo. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours runs concurrently, capturing any new Badger check-ins or account updates that occur during the cutover window. FlitStack generates an audit log listing every record inserted, updated, or skipped, plus any records with unresolved owner or ambiguous custom field values. One-click rollback reverts all migrated records if reconciliation finds data integrity issues. After rollback window closes, the audit log is delivered as a CSV export for your records.
