Overview

What this migration involves

Badger Maps stores accounts (businesses), their contact persons, custom fields (text and numeric), check-in logs, and route metadata. It does not natively store opportunities, pipeline stages, or complex deal records — those live in the CRM Badger Maps integrates with. Twenty CRM uses Companies (accounts), People (contacts), Opportunities (deals), Notes, and Tasks as its standard object graph, with full support for custom fields on any object via Settings → Data Model. FlitStack AI reads Badger Maps data via its v2 REST API and the CSV export function, then maps each object to its Twenty equivalent: accounts → Companies, contact persons → People, check-ins → Notes (with original timestamps), and Badger Maps custom fields → Twenty custom fields created before import. Routing optimization and territory alignment have no native Twenty equivalent — we preserve them as custom fields (Routing_Data__c, Territory_Assignment__c) so managers can reference field-sales context post-migration. Views, automations, and sequences do not exist in Badger Maps and therefore cannot migrate. Activity history (check-ins, meeting notes) migrates as Notes attached to the relevant Company or Person record.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Badger Maps

What's pushing teams away

  • Per-user pricing becomes expensive at scale, especially for teams larger than 40 reps where competitors offer flat-rate or lower per-seat models, driving customers to alternatives like SalesRabbit or Geopointe.
  • GPS navigation accuracy is frequently cited as frustrating, with the app routing to incorrect addresses and causing delays in the field, particularly in areas with frequent address changes.
  • Route limit of approximately 23 stops per route forces reps to create multiple routes manually and string them together, breaking the automated optimization logic.
  • The learning curve is steep for new reps, with users reporting they need more time and clearer instructions to become productive, especially around CRM integration setup.
  • CRM integration options vary by plan, and Standard Integration only syncs one object type at a time, making the Advanced Integration feel like a required upsell for teams with complex data models.

Choosing

Twenty CRM logo

Twenty CRM

What's pulling them in

  • Top open-source CRM on GitHub with 40.6K stars, giving teams full source code access and infrastructure ownership without per-feature licensing surprises.
  • Free self-hosting under AGPL-3.0 means unlimited users and custom objects for the cost of cloud infrastructure alone, typically $20–100/month.
  • Pricing page explicitly mocks competitors for charging add-on fees for API access, webhooks, and workflows — transparency that resonates with RevOps teams burned by Salesforce.
  • Unlimited custom objects and fields with no price impact, letting teams shape the data model to their business rather than forcing business into rigid schemas.
  • Modern TypeScript/React/PostgreSQL stack means developer-led teams can extend, self-host, or integrate without fighting legacy architecture.

Object mapping

How Badger Maps objects map to Twenty CRM

Each row shows how a Badger Maps object lands in Twenty 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

maps to

Twenty CRM

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Badger Maps accounts map directly to Twenty CRM Companies. The account name becomes Company.Name, the address fields map to address fields on the Company record, and the domain field maps to Website. The companyId generated during Company import is used to link Person records in the next step.

Badger Maps

Contact Person (per account)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Person

1:1
Fully supported

Badger Maps stores one primary contact per account with name, email, phone, and job title. This maps to Twenty's People object. The contact's associated accountId links to the Company record via Twenty's companyId relation. Multiple contacts per account in Badger Maps would require multiple Person records with the same companyId.

Badger Maps

Custom Field (text or numeric)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Field (on Company or Person)

1:1
Fully supported

Badger Maps custom fields (text or numeric type, set via Settings → Manage Fields) map to Twenty custom fields created in Settings → Data Model before import. Text fields in Badger Maps become TEXT type fields in Twenty; numeric fields become NUMBER type fields. The import order requires custom fields to exist before CSV import runs.

Badger Maps

Check-in (Visit / Meeting / Call)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Note

1:1
Fully supported

Badger Maps check-in logs contain date, log type (visit, meeting, call), account reference, and free-text comments. These map to Twenty Notes attached to the corresponding Company record. The check-in type becomes the Note title; the comment text becomes the Note body. Original check-in timestamps are preserved in the Note's creation date.

Badger Maps

Account Category / Filter

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom pick-list field on Company

1:1
Fully supported

Badger Maps allows filtering accounts by category (e.g., Specialty, business type) set during account creation or via the Visualize filter. These category values map to a Twenty custom pick-list field (e.g., Account_Category__c) on the Company object. Each distinct category value in Badger Maps becomes a pick-list option in Twenty.

Badger Maps

Territory Assignment

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom field on Company

1:1
Fully supported

Badger Maps territory assignments are stored per account. There is no native territory object in Twenty CRM. We preserve territory assignment as a custom pick-list or text field (Territory__c) on the Company object so sales managers can filter companies by territory post-migration. Territory hierarchy (parent/child territories) is flattened into a single field value.

Badger Maps

Route Name / Saved Route

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom field on Company

1:1
Fully supported

Badger Maps route names (saved routes containing specific account stops) have no direct equivalent in Twenty CRM. We capture route names as a custom text field (Assigned_Route__c) on the Company record, populated with the last saved route name containing that account at migration time. This preserves routing context for territory planning without a native map view.

Badger Maps

Account Owner / Assigned Rep

maps to

Twenty CRM

WorkspaceMember (assigned via relation)

1:1
Fully supported

Badger Maps rep assignments per account map to Twenty's assigned collaborator field on the Company record. The rep email in Badger Maps is matched against Twenty Workspace Members by email address. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration and assigned to a fallback Workspace Member.

Badger Maps

Account Create Date

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom field on Company

1:1
Fully supported

Twenty's CreatedAt timestamp is set at migration time, not inherited from Badger Maps. Original account creation dates from Badger Maps are preserved as a custom datetime field (Original_Create_Date__c) on the Company record for reporting continuity and data-age analysis. This field allows managers to filter companies by account age, build reports on customer tenure, and maintain historical context for long-term relationship tracking across the migration boundary.

Badger Maps

Badger Maps Source ID

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom field on Company

1:1
Fully supported

The Badger Maps internal account identifier is stored as Source_System_ID__c on the Twenty Company record. This enables delta-run de-duplication on subsequent syncs, audit traceability back to the original record, and matching if a future Badger Maps re-integration is needed. The field also supports reconciliation workflows by allowing your team to cross-reference migrated records against Badger Maps exports using the original identifier.

Badger Maps

Follow-up Reminder

maps to

Twenty CRM

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Badger Maps follow-up reminders flagged per account map to Twenty Tasks attached to the Company record. The reminder text becomes the Task title, and the due date (if set) becomes the Task due date. If no due date is set, the Task is created with an open status for the rep to schedule.

Badger Maps

CRM Integration Metadata (linked CRM record IDs)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom field on Company

1:1
Fully supported

Teams using Badger Maps' Advanced Integration with Salesforce or HubSpot store linked CRM record IDs per account. These cross-system IDs have no functional value in Twenty CRM and are preserved as a read-only text field (Source_CRM_Link__c) for reference only — they do not create live CRM links.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Routing and territory data have no native Twenty CRM equivalent

    Badger Maps stores route names, optimized stop sequences, territory assignments, and drive-time estimates per account. Twenty CRM has no native map view, no territory management module, and no routing optimization engine. We preserve routing context as custom fields (Territory__c, Assigned_Route__c) so the data is present on the Company record, but the spatial visualization and route-optimization logic cannot be replicated in Twenty. Sales managers who relied on Badger Maps' territory balance report for territory design will need to rebuild that workflow using Twenty's filtered Company views and exported CSVs.

  • Check-in logs require pre-merge formatting before import into Twenty Notes

    Badger Maps exports check-ins with account reference IDs and free-text comments, but the comment field may contain line breaks, emoji, or semi-structured data from rep check-in templates. Twenty's CSV import for Notes requires the title and body to be flat strings. We reformat check-in comments by stripping non-printable characters and truncating to Twenty's field length limits before import. Any check-in comments exceeding Twenty's field length cap are split across multiple Note records with a sequence suffix, and the original full text is preserved in a custom Full_CheckIn_Text__c field.

  • Badger Maps accounts without an email address create Person records without a companyId link

    Twenty CRM's import requires a companyId (or another unique field) to link a Person to a Company. Badger Maps allows account creation without a contact email, and some accounts may have a contact name and phone but no email address. When the primary contact has no email, we create the Person record and link it to the Company via the account's internal ID stored in Source_System_ID__c rather than the standard email-based lookup. This requires the companyId reference to use the Badger Maps account ID rather than a Twenty-native identifier, which may affect relationship filtering in Twenty's UI until the link is confirmed.

  • Twenty CRM's free-tier API rate limit (100 calls/min) constrains bulk export timing

    Teams on Twenty's self-hosted or Pro free-tier plan face a 100 API calls/minute limit, which extends the window for large delta-pickup runs. We handle this by pacing requests and using batch endpoints where available, but the delta-pickup window for in-flight Badger Maps records created during cutover may extend to 48 hours on lower-tier Twenty plans. We recommend running the full migration during off-peak hours and configuring the delta window before go-live to minimize the window of divergence between Badger Maps and Twenty.

  • Badger Maps' Advanced Integration metadata (cross-CRM record IDs) is reference-only in Twenty

    Teams running Badger Maps' Advanced Integration with Salesforce or HubSpot have cross-system record IDs stored per account (e.g., Salesforce AccountId linked via Badger's sync layer). These IDs are preserved in Twenty as Source_CRM_Link__c text fields, but they do not create live links — the Salesforce or HubSpot records remain in the source system. If the team plans to decommission Badger Maps and fully consolidate in Twenty, the cross-system IDs serve only as a historical reference for manual reconciliation; they do not auto-update and have no functional role in Twenty's data model.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Badger Maps to Twenty CRM data migration

  1. Audit Badger Maps data and configure Twenty workspace

    We export your full account list from Badger Maps via Reports → Export Accounts, including all custom fields and check-in history. Simultaneously, we inspect your Twenty workspace via Settings → Data Model to confirm which standard objects are active and create any custom fields required to receive Badger Maps' routing context (Territory__c, Assigned_Route__c, Source_System_ID__c, Original_Create_Date__c). Custom fields must exist in Twenty before CSV import runs — we coordinate this sequence to avoid import failures on missing field errors.

  2. Export and sequence objects for import order

    Badger Maps exports accounts and contacts in sequence: accounts first, then contacts linked by accountId. We export check-in logs separately and format them as Notes. For accounts with no primary contact email, we flag the Person record for the alternative companyId linking strategy. Owner email addresses are extracted and matched against Twenty Workspace Members — any unmatched owners are reported so your team can invite them to Twenty before the migration run.

  3. Run sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice — typically 100–300 accounts spanning your territory distribution and custom field usage — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff showing every source field, its mapped Twenty field, and the migrated value. You verify that custom field types map correctly, that check-in notes attach to the right Companies, and that territory assignments land in Territory__c as expected. No full run commits until the sample passes your sign-off.

  4. Full migration with delta-pickup window

    All accounts, contacts, custom fields, check-in notes, and follow-up tasks migrate to Twenty. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any records created or modified in Badger Maps during the cutover period. Owner resolution is re-checked against the final Workspace Member list. The audit log records every operation including record counts, skipped records, and transformation applied. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation identifies data integrity issues.

  5. Deliver rebuild reference for automations and workflow logic

    Badger Maps has no native workflow builder — the platform does not store automation definitions that can be exported. We document the routing logic your team used (territory assignment rules, follow-up reminder triggers, route-stop ordering criteria) as a structured rebuild reference so your Twenty admin can implement equivalent rules in Twenty's Workflows settings or via API-based automation. This documentation is delivered alongside the migration report.

Strengths

  • Generates optimized driving routes for 100+ stops per day with appointment time scheduling and duration control.
  • Two-way real-time CRM sync with Salesforce, Pipedrive, Copper, HubSpot, and Zoho keeps field and office data in sync.
  • Mobile-first design lets reps log check-ins, add notes, and discover new leads directly from the field without returning to a desktop.
  • Weekly automated check-in reports and a 30-day chart give managers visibility into field activity without manual entry.
  • Lasso and radius selection tools let managers export subsets of Accounts by geographic area for targeted migration scoping.

Weaknesses

  • GPS accuracy issues cause routes to direct reps to incorrect addresses, particularly in areas with high address turnover.
  • Per-user pricing model is cost-prohibitive for large teams; volume discounts only apply after 40 users, capping savings for mid-size organizations.
  • CRM integrations are tiered: Standard Integration is limited to one object type, while Advanced Integration requires additional configuration and is not available on all plans.
  • Route limit of approximately 23 stops per route requires manual workarounds and breaks automated optimization for high-volume reps.
  • The platform has no standalone data export utility beyond CSV; bulk API access is not publicly documented, limiting programmatic migration options.

Strengths

  • AGPL-3.0 open-source license with full source code on GitHub — no vendor lock-in, no sunset risk.
  • Unlimited users and unlimited custom objects on self-hosted, with no feature gating based on headcount.
  • REST and GraphQL APIs available on all paid tiers, not locked behind an enterprise add-on fee.
  • MCP server and webhooks shipped as standard features, not premium upgrades.
  • Modern PostgreSQL-backed data model that developer teams can query, extend, and self-host.

Weaknesses

  • Recent v1.0 release means limited production hardening compared to CRMs with multi-year operational track records.
  • No native email sequencing or sales engagement tools — follow-up cadences require a separate platform.
  • No native two-way email sync or inbox integration, requiring third-party connectors for full activity logging.
  • Self-hosting 'free' pricing hides real infrastructure and DevOps costs that stack up over time.
  • Workflow automation is functional but lacks the complexity needed for sophisticated multi-step sales motions.

Most Badger Maps to Twenty CRM migrations complete in 48–72 hours of clock time for under 50,000 records. Larger setups with complex custom-field configurations, multiple territory levels, or extensive check-in history extend to 5–7 days. The longest single step is typically the custom-field setup in Twenty's Settings → Data Model — each custom field must be created before the CSV import can reference it, and that setup is done before any data moves.
