Overview
Moving from Bizstim Business Management Software to Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales is a migration from a scheduling-centric service-industry CRM to an enterprise-grade sales CRM. Bizstim organises data around Clients, Practitioners, and Services with per-session availability windows; Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales uses an Account-Contact-Opportunity model with Leads for unqualified prospects. We extract client records, practitioner profiles, service packages, and payment histories through Bizstim's REST API (gated behind the Enterprise plan), resolve practitioner-to-User lookups by email, and import into the correct Dynamics 365 object hierarchy. Practitioner wage data has no native Dynamics 365 equivalent and is preserved as a custom field for admin configuration post-migration. Bizstim's availability slot rules (minTime, maxTime, slotDuration, sessionLimit) are extracted as structured data and delivered in a configuration guide for rebuilding as Outlook calendar booking rules or Dynamics 365 Resource Scheduling rules. Automations, SMS reminder workflows, and practitioner scheduling rules are not migrated as code; we deliver a written inventory for your admin to rebuild in Dynamics 365.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Bizstim Business Management Software object lands in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales , including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Bizstim Business Management Software
Client
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Contact (and Lead for unqualified prospects)
1:manyBizstim Client records map to Salesforce Contact for qualified clients or Salesforce Lead for unqualified prospects. We resolve the split based on whether the client has an associated Opportunity in Bizstim (indicating sales-qualified status) or only session booking records. Client address, phone, email, and availability slot fields (minTime, maxTime, slotDuration, sessionLimit) map to standard Contact fields or custom Contact fields for scheduling preference data. The original Bizstim client ID is preserved in a custom field bizstim_client_id__c for audit reconciliation.
Bizstim Business Management Software
Practitioner
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
User
1:1Bizstim Practitioner records map to Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales User accounts. We resolve by matching practitioner email against the Azure Active Directory-backed user table in the destination tenant. Practitioner wage settings (practitioner_wage, payment rates) have no native Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales equivalent and are preserved in a custom field practitioner_wage__c on the User record for the customer's admin to extend into a compensation model post-migration. Bizstim staff_id is preserved in a custom field for reconciliation.
Bizstim Business Management Software
Service
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Product2
1:1Bizstim Service records map to Salesforce Product2 entries. The group_id field that organises services into bundles maps to a custom field service_group_id__c. Session count (group_num) and practitioner wage defaults stored in the Service record become custom Product fields service_session_count__c and default_practitioner_wage__c. Service cost maps to StandardPrice on the Product2 PricebookEntry. Service packages (bundles of sessions) are delivered as a written configuration guide for the customer's admin to build as a product bundle in Dynamics 365 CPQ if required.
Bizstim Business Management Software
Service Group
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Product Bundle (configuration)
lossyBizstim service_group_names table entries link services via group_id. Service packages are exported as a group-to-service lookup table and delivered as a structured CSV alongside the Product2 import. The customer's Dynamics 365 admin configures the bundle structure (if using Sales Hub Enterprise with CPQ) or documents service packages in a custom configuration object. We do not create CPQ bundle configurations as part of standard migration scope.
Bizstim Business Management Software
Payment
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Invoice or Opportunity Product Line Item
1:1Bizstim Payment records (amount, date, client association, currency) map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Opportunities with Closed-Won status for paid transactions. Payment history is preserved as OpportunityLineItem entries on closed Opportunities, with the original payment date stored in a custom field original_payment_date__c. Outstanding or pending payments do not map to any standard Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales object and are delivered as a structured CSV for the customer's admin to action in Dynamics 365 Finance or a separate billing tool.
Bizstim Business Management Software
Calendar / Availability Slots
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Outlook Calendar Booking Rules (configuration)
lossyBizstim client availability rules (minTime, maxTime, slotDuration, sessionLimit) are extracted as structured data and delivered in a configuration guide. These do not map to a native Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales object because sales CRMs do not typically store per-contact scheduling windows. The guide maps each availability rule to Outlook calendar booking rules, Microsoft Bookings app configurations, or Dynamics 365 Resource Scheduling custom fields depending on the customer's intended workflow post-migration.
Bizstim Business Management Software
User
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
User
1:1Bizstim Users (login and role data) are cross-referenced against Practitioner records. Bizstim role data (admin, practitioner, staff) maps to a custom field bizstim_role__c on the Dynamics 365 User record. Role-based access configuration in Dynamics 365 (security roles, field-level security) is delivered as a written configuration plan for the customer's admin to implement post-migration.
Bizstim Business Management Software
Staff
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
User or Contact (non-practitioner staff)
1:1Bizstim Staff records are deduplicated against Practitioner records by staff_id and merged into a single migration object. Non-practitioner staff members (billing staff, coordinators) without practitioner_wage associations map to Dynamics 365 User records with a custom field staff_type__c to distinguish them from sales practitioners.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Tier and API access verification
We confirm the customer's Bizstim plan tier during scoping. API access requires an active Enterprise licence. If the customer is on Individual or Small Business, we discuss upgrading before extraction begins. We also identify whether a secondary Enterprise API key can be provisioned for large accounts needing parallel extraction. This step gates all downstream work.
Object extraction sequencing and dependency mapping
We build a structured extraction plan covering Clients, Practitioners, Users, Staff, Services, Service Groups, Payments, and Availability Slots in sequence. We account for per-object pagination (Services endpoint: 100 records per page maximum) and relational integrity across practitioner_id, group_id, and client_id foreign keys. The extraction plan is documented and shared with the customer before extraction begins.
Destination schema design and custom field provisioning
We design the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales destination schema to receive the Bizstim data. This includes provisioning custom fields on Contact (bizstim_client_id__c, availability_slot_data__c) and User (practitioner_wage__c, bizstim_role__c, staff_type__c). We decide whether client records map to Lead or Contact based on the practitioner's qualification status in Bizstim. Service Groups are delivered as a CSV with group_id-to-product mapping for manual CPQ configuration. Schema is validated in a Dynamics 365 Sandbox before production migration.
Practitioner-to-User resolution and reconciliation
We extract every distinct Bizstim Practitioner and Staff record and match by email against the Azure AD-backed User table in the destination Dynamics 365 tenant. Practitioners without a matching User go to a reconciliation queue. The customer's IT admin provisions any missing Users (active or inactive depending on whether the original Bizstim user is still active). Migration cannot proceed past practitioner resolution because OwnerId references are required on Contact and Opportunity records.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Users (manual provisioning validated), Accounts (from Bizstim organisation or client address data), Contacts and Leads (with practitioner assignment resolved to OwnerId), Services (as Product2 entries with pricing), Service Groups (CSV deliverable), Payments (as closed-won Opportunity records with line items), Availability Slots (structured data deliverable), and practitioner wage settings (custom User fields). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and rebuild handoff
We freeze Bizstim writes during cutover and run a delta migration of any records modified during the migration window. We deliver the practitioner wage custom field guide, availability slot configuration guide, and service group CSV to the customer's admin team for post-migration setup. We support a three-day hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Bizstim automations, SMS workflows, or scheduling rules as Dynamics 365 workflows inside migration scope; these are documented separately for the customer's admin to implement.
