Overview
Badger Maps is a field sales route planner that stores customer records, check-in history, and custom field data alongside its routing engine. It does not natively manage deals, pipelines, or revenue tracking — those live in an integrated CRM. Teams migrate to Pipedrive when they want a standalone CRM that handles both account management and pipeline visibility without relying on a mapping layer. The migration carries over Badger's accounts (organizations), people (contacts), custom fields, and activity history including check-ins and meeting logs. Pipedrive's Organizations, Persons, Activities, and custom fields absorb the Badger data directly. Deal and pipeline stages must be designed fresh in Pipedrive — Badger has no equivalent. Territory routing logic is destination-side configuration. We use Badger's API export and Pipedrive's REST API with token-based rate limiting to move records in sequenced batches, then run a delta-pickup window to capture any in-flight changes during cutover. A pre-migration validation step cross-checks record counts and field coverage to ensure data completeness before the actual transfer begins.
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 Pipedrive, 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
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1Badger accounts map directly to Pipedrive organizations. Organization name, address, phone, website, and industry field transfer as-is. Multi-address accounts in Badger require selecting a primary address for the organization record; secondary locations surface as a note or custom field on the Pipedrive organization.
Badger Maps
Person / Contact
Pipedrive
Person
1:1Badger people (contacts) linked to accounts map to Pipedrive persons with the organization link preserved. Email, phone, job title, and owner assignment transfer directly. Badger's primary contact flag becomes a custom field or note on the Pipedrive person record. The primary contact flag is stored as a boolean custom field or appended to the person notes for quick identification.
Badger Maps
Check-in
Pipedrive
Activity (Meeting type)
1:1Badger check-ins — logged visits with timestamp, account link, and notes — become Pipedrive activities of type 'meeting'. Original check-in time becomes the activity due date and start time; the linked Badger account becomes the linked organization. Notes from the check-in migrate as the activity's notes field.
Badger Maps
Check-in
Pipedrive
Activity (Note type)
1:1Check-ins that contain only comments and meeting notes without a scheduled time become Pipedrive note activities. The account link is preserved as the organization association. We flag check-ins with no timestamp for manual review before migration. Any such entries are logged in a pre-migration audit report, and your team confirms whether to include or exclude them from the migration run.
Badger Maps
Follow-up
Pipedrive
Activity (Task type)
1:1Badger follow-up markers map to Pipedrive tasks with the linked organization or person. Due date and priority transfer from the follow-up's schedule. Uncompleted follow-ups at migration time land as open tasks in Pipedrive. Completed follow-ups are imported with a 'done' flag set, preserving the completion status from Badger.
Badger Maps
Route
Pipedrive
Custom field on Organization
1:1Badger routes (stop sequences, optimization data, GPS tracks) are a routing construct with no Pipedrive equivalent. We preserve route names as a text custom field on the linked organization for reference. Territory and routing strategy must be re-established in Pipedrive or a third-party routing tool post-migration.
Badger Maps
Custom Field (Text)
Pipedrive
Custom Field (Text)
1:1Badger text custom fields on accounts — such as Specialty, Priority, or custom flags — map to Pipedrive organization custom fields of type 'text'. Field name and values transfer verbatim. Pipedrive generates a hash key for each custom field; we map by field name and re-create on the destination.
Badger Maps
Custom Field (Numeric)
Pipedrive
Custom Field (Numeric)
1:1Badger numeric custom fields — like Sales YTD, visit count, or custom scoring — map to Pipedrive organization custom fields of type 'numeric'. Zero-value handling matches source (Badger may store zero vs. null differently; we normalize to zero or blank based on your preference).
Badger Maps
Account Owner / Sales Rep
Pipedrive
User
1:1Badger owner IDs resolve by email match to Pipedrive users. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — your Pipedrive admin either invites them first or reassigns to a fallback user. No record lands without a Pipedrive owner. We generate a pre-migration owner report listing any unmatched email addresses for immediate action.
Badger Maps
Lead (via CRM sync)
Pipedrive
Lead
1:1Badger's optional Lead object — synced from the integrated CRM — maps to Pipedrive's Lead feature if enabled on your plan. Lead status and custom lead fields transfer. Pipedrive Leads inherit deal custom fields, so mapping from Badger's lead data requires verifying the Lead feature is active.
Badger Maps
Product (via CRM sync)
Pipedrive
Product
1:1Badger's product catalog entries (synced from the CRM) map to Pipedrive products if present. Product name, price, and unit transfer directly. Bundle and multi-product configurations require manual review post-migration. If your Badger data includes product images or descriptions, they can be attached as file notes in Pipedrive, provided storage limits are observed.
Badger Maps
Attachment / File
Pipedrive
File attachment
1:1Files attached to Badger accounts (images, PDFs, spreadsheets) are re-uploaded as Pipedrive file attachments linked to the corresponding organization or person record. Pipedrive storage limits apply per plan — Essential includes 5GB/user; larger imports may require archival or plan upgrade.
Badger Maps
Territory
Pipedrive
Custom field / Tag
1:1Badger territory assignments do not map to a native Pipedrive object. We migrate territory names as a custom field or tag on the organization. Rebuilding territory-based routing logic requires Pipedrive's territory configuration or a third-party routing integration. Your team can use these tags to assign reps or build custom reports in Pipedrive.

Migration approach
Audit Badger data export and design Pipedrive schema
We extract a full export from Badger Maps via API or structured file export covering all accounts, people, check-ins, follow-ups, custom fields, and activity logs. The Badger export is audited for duplicates, missing owner assignments, and field coverage. Simultaneously, we review your target Pipedrive account for existing custom field conflicts, plan tier, and rate limit headroom. We then deliver a schema plan: Pipedrive custom field creation (name, type), organization/person split logic, activity type mapping, and pipeline stage design. Pipedrive admins configure custom fields before validation runs.
Resolve owners and map custom fields
Badger owner IDs are matched by email to Pipedrive users. Unmatched owners are flagged with actionable guidance — either invite them to Pipedrive first or reassign to a fallback user. Custom fields from Badger are mapped to their Pipedrive counterparts by name and type. For account-scoped Badger fields that vary per record, we normalize field names and apply a migration rule. The custom field mapping document is shared with your team for approval before migration.
Migrate organizations and persons before activities
Pipedrive requires organizations to exist before persons can link to them (org_id foreign key), and both must exist before activities can associate. We sequence the migration: organizations first, then persons with org links, then activities referencing organizations and persons. This dependency chain ensures every activity in Pipedrive lands with the correct linked organization and person rather than orphaning records. Owners are resolved at write time using the email match table built in step 2.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 100–500 records — spanning accounts, persons, check-ins, and follow-ups — migrates first against your live Pipedrive account. We generate a field-level diff comparing Badger source values against Pipedrive destination values for every mapped field. Your team verifies activity timestamps, custom field values, owner resolution, and org/person linking. Any mapping corrections are applied before the full run commits. The sample run also measures actual Pipedrive API throughput to calibrate batch sizes for the production migration.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full migration runs in sequenced batches respecting Pipedrive's rate limit for your plan tier. A delta-pickup window opens at the time of the sample validation sign-off — any records modified or created in Badger during the cutover window are captured in a final delta pass. Audit logs record every write operation. One-click rollback reverts the Pipedrive account to its pre-migration state if reconciliation reveals unexpected mapping behavior. After rollback verification, the final delta pass commits to bring Pipedrive to parity with Badger's final state at go-live.
