Overview
Bidtracer is a construction-industry CRM built around bid management, CRM, estimating, and project management modules. It stores contacts, companies, bid opportunities, and project records in a normalized schema where each module has its own entity structure with status fields, owner assignments, and custom properties. Monday CRM replaces this with a board-based architecture where workspaces contain boards, boards contain groups, and groups contain items with customizable columns. The migration must translate Bidtracer's modular entities into Monday CRM's board structure — mapping contacts to the Contacts entity, companies to the Companies entity, bid opportunities to a Deals pipeline or dedicated bid-tracking board, and project/service records to a Projects board with appropriate column types. Custom fields in Bidtracer become custom columns in Monday CRM, requiring type-aware mapping (text fields to Text columns, numeric fields to Number columns, date fields to Date columns, pick-list fields to Dropdown or Status columns). Bid attachments migrate as files uploaded to Monday's storage. The migration uses scoped read access on Bidtracer to extract data, transforms field values during the mapping phase, and imports through Monday CRM's API or CSV import tools. We do not migrate Bidtracer's estimating tool data, service agreement templates, or project management hierarchies — those require manual rebuild in Monday's board structure. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures in-flight changes during cutover, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Bidtracer 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.
Bidtracer
Contact
monday CRM
Contact (Monday CRM)
1:1Bidtracer contacts map directly to Monday CRM contacts. The contact record carries name, email, phone, job title, and company association. Owner assignment resolves by email match against Monday workspace members. Contacts without a company link in Bidtracer land as unlinked contacts in Monday CRM.
Bidtracer
Company
monday CRM
Company (Monday CRM)
1:1Bidtracer companies map to Monday CRM companies with name, domain/website, industry, address, and employee count fields. Parent-company hierarchies in Bidtracer (if used) translate to Monday CRM's company relationship fields. Multi-contact companies in Bidtracer map to the corresponding company record with all associated contacts linked.
Bidtracer
Bid Opportunity
monday CRM
Deal / Bid Tracking Board (Item)
1:1Bidtracer bid opportunities become Monday CRM Deals (if using the CRM module's pipeline) or Items in a dedicated bid-tracking board. The bid record's status (Requested, Quoted, Follow-up, Targeted, Awarded, Lost, Missed, Cancelled) maps to Monday's Status column values or a Dropdown column with equivalent options. Each bid-opportunity field (division, general contractor, engineer, architect, closing date) becomes a custom column on the board.
Bidtracer
Bid Status
monday CRM
Status Column / Dropdown Column
1:1Bidtracer's eight bid statuses (Requested, Quoted, Follow-up, Targeted, Awarded, Lost, Missed, Cancelled) require value-by-value mapping to Monday's Status column or Dropdown column options. The migration plan documents the exact value mapping so Monday boards are configured before data loads. Stage probability and forecast category are not native to Monday and require custom columns if needed for reporting.
Bidtracer
Project Record
monday CRM
Project Board (Item)
1:1Bidtracer project management records map to Items in a Monday CRM project board. Project name, customer, status, start date, and end date become standard columns. Sub-items in Monday CRM represent sub-tasks or phases within the project, but Bidtracer's nested task structure may require flattening into a single-item-per-task model depending on complexity.
Bidtracer
Service Agreement
monday CRM
Service Agreements Board (Item)
1:1Bidtracer service agreement records map to Items in a dedicated Service Agreements board in Monday CRM. Agreement name, customer, contract status, start date, and terms become columns. The agreement document itself (if stored as a file attachment) migrates as a file upload attached to the Item. Recurring billing terms require manual configuration as Monday columns or integrations with billing tools.
Bidtracer
Contact Owner / User
monday CRM
Monday Workspace Member
1:1Bidtracer owner assignments on contacts, bids, and projects resolve by email match against Monday CRM workspace members. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — your team either creates Monday accounts for them or assigns their records to a fallback owner. Owner history (who last modified a record) preserves as a custom column if reporting continuity is required.
Bidtracer
Custom Fields (CRM Module)
monday CRM
Custom Columns (Monday Board)
1:1Bidtracer CRM custom properties map to Monday CRM contact or company custom columns. Field type determines column type: text properties become Text columns, numeric properties become Number columns, date properties become Date columns, and pick-list properties become Dropdown or Status columns. The migration plan enumerates each custom property, assigns the target column type, and creates the columns in Monday before data loads.
Bidtracer
Custom Fields (Bid Module)
monday CRM
Custom Columns (Bid Board)
1:1Bidtracer bid custom fields map to custom columns on the bid-tracking board. Division codes, project types, specification references, and other construction-specific fields require column creation in Monday with appropriate types. Some Bidtracer bid fields may contain structured data (e.g., JSON or concatenated strings) that requires parsing and splitting into separate Monday columns.
Bidtracer
File Attachments (Bids and Projects)
monday CRM
File Attachments (Monday Items)
1:1Bidtracer file attachments (proposals, quotes, plans, specs, addenda) linked to bid and project records re-upload to Monday CRM as file attachments on Items. File size limits apply per Monday's storage policy. Inline images in notes download and rehost. The migration extracts the attachment list from Bidtracer, downloads files, and re-uploads to the corresponding Monday Item with the original filename preserved.
Bidtracer
BAC Estimating / Security Estimating Data
monday CRM
No Equivalent (Manual Rebuild)
1:1Bidtracer's BAC Estimating Tool and Security Estimating Tool store structured estimating data (drag-and-drop equipment lists, line-item pricing, scope specifications) that has no direct equivalent in Monday CRM. This data exports from Bidtracer as structured files but requires manual entry or a custom board rebuild in Monday if tracking estimating data is required. FlitStack delivers the export and a mapping plan for manual reconstruction.
Bidtracer
Invitation To Bid Data
monday CRM
Subitem / Linked Board (Item)
1:1Bidtracer's Invitation To Bid records (subcontractor invitations, plan access tracking) map to Monday Items or Subitems on the bid-tracking board. The invitation status, vendor/subcontractor name, response date, and access grant details become columns. Vendors without existing Monday contacts create as new contacts linked to the bid Item.
Bidtracer
Engineering Tool Data
monday CRM
No Equivalent (Manual Rebuild)
1:1Bidtracer's Engineering Tool stores wiring diagrams, flow and sequence of operations, stencils, and kit configurations that are proprietary file formats not transferable to Monday CRM. This data exports as file attachments but the structural relationships between engineering components cannot map to Monday's column structure. Engineering data requires a separate workflow in Monday or integration with a CAD/engineering tool.
Bidtracer
Activity History (Calls, Emails, Notes)
monday CRM
Updates / Activity Log (Monday Items)
1:1Bidtracer activity history (logged calls, emails, notes) associated with contacts, companies, and bid opportunities migrates as Updates on the corresponding Monday CRM Items. Each activity appears as a timestamped update with the activity type and content preserved. Owner of the activity resolves to the Monday workspace member by email match.

Migration approach
Audit Bidtracer data and design Monday board structure
FlitStack AI connects to Bidtracer via scoped read access to inventory all records: contacts, companies, bid opportunities, projects, service agreements, custom fields, and attachments. We count records per entity, identify custom field types, and assess attachment file sizes. Simultaneously, we design the Monday CRM board architecture — Contacts and Companies use Monday's native CRM entities; bid opportunities use a Deals pipeline or dedicated bid-tracking board with Status and custom columns for division, contractor, and bid-type fields; projects and service agreements each get their own board. We deliver a board setup checklist specifying every column name, type, and options required before data loads. Your team creates the boards and columns in Monday during this phase.
Resolve owner assignments and configure Monday workspace members
Bidtracer owner IDs cross-reference against Monday CRM workspace members by email address. We generate an owner-resolution report listing every Bidtracer user, their email, their Monday workspace match status (matched, unmatched, or needs account creation), and the record count affected. Your team creates Monday accounts for any owners without workspace access before the migration window. Unresolved owners receive a fallback assignment during migration. We also validate that the Monday plan tier supports the expected API call volume based on total record count.
Build field mapping and validate value mappings for pick-list fields
Every Bidtracer field maps to a Monday column or CRM property with documented transformation rules. For pick-list fields — bid status, bid type, division, project status, agreement status — we build a value-mapping table specifying each source value and its target Monday Dropdown or Status option. This table is reviewed and approved before migration runs. Custom fields in Bidtracer receive type-aware mapping: text to Text columns, numbers to Number columns, dates to Date columns, and pick-lists to Dropdown columns. The mapping document serves as the authoritative reference for the migration engine and for post-migration validation.
Run sample migration with field-level diff and validate bid status mapping
A representative sample migrates first — typically 100–300 records spanning contacts, companies, bid opportunities, and projects. The sample validates owner resolution, attachment re-upload, date formatting, and pick-list value mapping for bid statuses. We generate a field-level diff between the Bidtracer source record and the Monday destination record so you can verify that every field landed correctly before the full run commits. Bid status mapping receives particular scrutiny: we confirm that each of the eight Bidtracer statuses appears as the correct Monday Status option on the sample bid records.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and rollback readiness
The full migration runs against Monday CRM's API, loading contacts and companies first (since bid opportunities reference them), then bid opportunities, projects, and service agreements. Bid attachments download from Bidtracer and re-upload to Monday Items during this phase. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours runs concurrently with the cutover: any Bidtracer records modified or created during the migration window are captured and loaded in a final delta pass. An audit log records every operation. If reconciliation fails — missing records, incorrect status mapping, or owner resolution errors — one-click rollback reverts Monday to its pre-migration state so the migration can be re-run with corrected mappings.
