Overview
Moving from BenchmarkONE to Monday.com CRM is a shift from a contact-centric, email-marketing-first CRM to a visual board-based Work OS that layers CRM capabilities on top of its flexible item-and-board data model. BenchmarkONE organizes data around Contacts with Temperature scoring, tag-based segmentation, and a unified contact-company-deal hierarchy. Monday.com CRM uses Boards containing Items, with Contacts and Companies surfaced as dedicated People entities and Deals tracked as Items on pipeline boards with custom columns. We handle the structural difference by mapping each BenchmarkONE object to the nearest Monday.com CRM equivalent, preserving tag values in a Tags column or linked group, and carrying BenchmarkONE's Temperature and Lead Source fields as custom columns on the People board. BenchmarkONE automations triggered by form submissions, website visits, or tag changes do not export as data; we document each active automation and deliver a written mapping to equivalent Monday.com workflow rules for manual rebuild post-migration.
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 BenchmarkONE object lands in monday CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
BenchmarkONE
Contact
monday CRM
People (People entity or Contact board)
1:1BenchmarkONE Contact records (name, email, phone, title, company, address, opt-in status, Temperature, Lead Source, Assigned Sales Rep, and social profile URLs) map to Monday.com CRM People entities or a dedicated Contacts board with equivalent columns. Temperature field maps to a custom Status or number column in Monday.com. Lead Source maps to a single-select or text column. Tags stored as comma-separated values in BenchmarkONE's export map to Monday.com Tags column or a linked Groups setup depending on the destination plan tier.
BenchmarkONE
Company
monday CRM
People entity (Company type) or Organizations board
1:1BenchmarkONE Company records (Company Name, Website URL, associated contacts via Account Company ID) map to Monday.com People entities with the Organization type or a dedicated Organizations board. Contact-to-company linkage is preserved by linking People items to the company People entity or through a board relationship column. The Website field maps directly.
BenchmarkONE
Deal
monday CRM
CRM board Items (pipeline Items)
1:1BenchmarkONE Deal records map to Monday.com CRM pipeline board Items. The Deal's associated Contact and Company become linked Person and Organization entities on the Item. Deal stage maps to a Status column on the CRM board; pipeline name maps to a separate board or a Board Group. Deal amount, close date, and owner map to numeric, date, and person columns respectively.
BenchmarkONE
Task
monday CRM
Items on a Tasks board or CRM board Items with subitems
1:1BenchmarkONE Tasks linked to contacts, companies, or deals map to Monday.com Items or subitems on a dedicated Tasks board or as subitems on the related CRM board Item. Due date, status, assignee, and description map to the Date, Status, Person, and Text columns respectively. The parent record association is preserved via Monday.com board relationships or item linking.
BenchmarkONE
Tag
monday CRM
Tags column or board Groups
lossyBenchmarkONE free-form tags applied per contact export as a comma-separated list. These map to Monday.com Tags column (native feature on Standard and Pro plans). For plans without native Tags, we map tag values to a multi-select column or create separate board Groups per distinct tag value. The customer selects the preferred tag strategy during scoping.
BenchmarkONE
Custom Fields
monday CRM
Custom columns on CRM boards
lossyBenchmarkONE custom fields on Contacts and Companies (field names, types, and values) audit during scoping. We map text fields to Text columns, number fields to Numbers columns, date fields to Date columns, and checkbox fields to Checkbox columns in Monday.com CRM. Dropdown or select custom fields map to single-select columns. Custom field schema is recreated in Monday.com before any record import.
BenchmarkONE
User / Sales Rep
monday CRM
Monday.com User account (assigned via Person column)
1:1BenchmarkONE users assigned as owners to contacts, companies, deals, and tasks map to Monday.com User accounts by email match. We resolve BenchmarkONE's Assigned Sales Rep field to Monday.com's Person column assignee on CRM board Items. Users without matching Monday.com accounts enter a reconciliation queue for the customer to provision before record import resumes.
BenchmarkONE
Email Campaign
monday CRM
Documented reference (no direct migration)
1:1BenchmarkONE stores campaign metadata (name, send date, audience size, aggregate open rate, click rate, bounce count) in its email marketing module. Monday.com CRM does not have a native email marketing module. We map campaign names and aggregate performance stats to a reference board or spreadsheet as a documentation record. Email performance context is preserved for the customer's records; the customer uses a dedicated email marketing tool (Monday.com's email campaigns feature if available, or a third-party tool) for future sends.
BenchmarkONE
Automation / Workflow
monday CRM
Monday.com Workflow Automations (documented for rebuild)
lossyBenchmarkONE automations triggered by form submissions, link clicks, website visits, tag changes, or purchases are platform-native constructs that do not export as data. We audit each active automation during discovery and document its trigger, conditions, actions, and recommended Monday.com Workflow equivalent. This is a manual reconstruction step delivered as a written automation inventory and mapping document. We do not rebuild automations inside the migration scope.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
BenchmarkONE gotchas
Admin-only database export locks down data access
Contact-tier pricing means record count directly impacts billing
Email sending limits are tied to plan tier, not contact count
API requires SSL and JSON media type with no documented rate limits
Automations are BenchmarkONE-native and require manual reconstruction at destination
monday CRM gotchas
Subitems are not included in bulk exports
Daily API call limits vary sharply by plan
Legacy automations (Sentence Builder) are being deprecated
Excel and account exports only include table views
Enterprise admins can disable non-admin exports
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and scoping
We audit the BenchmarkONE source portal across tier (Free/Lite/Pro), exact contact count, active company and deal records, task volume, distinct tag values, active automations, and custom field definitions on both Contacts and Companies. We pair this with a Monday.com CRM plan assessment: Basic ($9/user/mo) covers Contacts, pipeline boards, and basic automations; Standard ($12/user/mo) adds advanced contact and deal management, two-way email integration, and Integrations; Pro ($19/user/mo) adds lead scoring, sales analytics, and sales forecasting. The discovery output is a written migration scope, a Monday.com plan recommendation, and confirmation of System Administrator export access.
Data export and deduplication
We extract data from BenchmarkONE using the admin-only full database export (CSV format) covering contacts, companies, deals, tasks, tags, and custom fields. We run a deduplication pass on contacts and companies using email address and company name as dedupe keys. We flag duplicate records for customer review and resolution before import. We also extract BenchmarkONE's Temperature field values, Lead Source values, and tag distributions so they can be mapped to Monday.com column types during board configuration.
Board design and column configuration
We design the Monday.com CRM board structure before importing any records. This includes a People board (or People entities) for contacts and companies, a CRM pipeline board with custom columns matching BenchmarkONE's deal fields, a Tasks board or subitem structure for migrated tasks, and a Tags column configuration using Monday.com's native Tags feature or a multi-select column. Temperature and Lead Source from BenchmarkONE are configured as custom columns. The board design is validated with the customer before proceeding to import.
Sandbox import and reconciliation
We run a test migration into a Monday.com workspace using a representative data subset to validate board layout, column mapping, relationship linking (contact-to-company, deal-to-contact), tag display, and user assignment. The customer's team spot-checks migrated records against the BenchmarkONE source and signs off the mapping before production import begins. Any column type corrections or relationship logic adjustments happen at this stage.
Production import in dependency order
We run production migration in dependency order: first the People board (Companies and Contacts with Company links resolved), then the CRM pipeline board (Deals with Contact and Company lookups resolved), then Tasks (linked to their parent Contact, Company, or Deal). Tags are imported as a final step or alongside records using Monday.com's Tags column feature. User assignment maps BenchmarkONE Assigned Sales Rep to Monday.com Person column assignees by email match. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Automation inventory delivery and cutover
We deliver the automation inventory document listing every active BenchmarkONE automation with its trigger, conditions, actions, and a recommended Monday.com Workflow equivalent. We do not rebuild automations inside the migration scope. We freeze BenchmarkONE writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Monday.com CRM as the system of record. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. Post-migration admin support, workflow rebuild, and team training are outside standard scope and can be scoped as separate engagements.
