Migrate from Black Ice CRM to monday CRM

Black Ice CRM stores leads as the primary sales-cycle entry point with fields that vary by deployment. We map the lead records to a Monday.com CRM Leads board (if the Monday CRM install is used) or to a dedicated board with a status column reflecting lead stage. Because Black Ice modules are fully customisable, we perform a pre-migration field audit via a sample export to identify all active lead properties before designing the Monday.com column schema. The dedupe key is email address.

Black Ice Accounts (companies) with name, address, and contact associations map directly to Monday.com CRM Companies or a Companies board. We preserve the company address, domain, and any contact associations as column values. Account records are created before any Contact or Deal import to satisfy parent-record dependencies. The account name is the dedupe key.

Black Ice Contacts linked to Accounts map to Monday.com CRM Contacts with the company relationship preserved as a link-to-item column. Each contact's phone, email, role, and custom fields migrate as columns. Contact-to-account relationships are resolved at migration time by matching the Black Ice contact-account association to the Monday.com company record created in the Accounts phase.

Black Ice Potential Tracking records holding pipeline stage and deal value map to a Monday.com Deals board with a Pipeline status column and a monetary Value column. Stage names from Black Ice become distinct status groups or column values on the Monday.com board. The estimated deal value migrates as a number or currency column. We preserve any Black Ice custom fields associated with the potential record.

Black Ice Quotes contain a header with customer, date, and terms plus line items tied to the product catalog. Monday.com has no native quote object, so we design a Quotes board where each item represents a quote header and its line items are modelled as sub-items with product name, quantity, unit price, and total. Quote status (Draft, Sent, Accepted, Rejected) becomes a status column. We export quote headers and line items together from Black Ice to preserve the relationship.

Black Ice Orders are derived from accepted Quotes and trigger automated stock reduction in Black Ice. We map orders to a Monday.com Orders board with order date, status, and total as columns, linked to the originating quote board item and the account company. The order-to-invoice relationship in Black Ice is modelled as a link column in Monday.com since native invoicing is not available on Monday.com.

Black Ice Invoices are linked to Orders and carry payment status and line items. Monday.com has no native invoicing object. We model invoices as a board with invoice number, date, due date, amount, and payment status columns. The order link from Black Ice becomes a link-to-item column. Any payment status flags (Paid, Overdue, Partial) migrate as a status column. Customers requiring full invoice generation should evaluate a third-party accounting integration post-migration.

Black Ice Product records with name, SKU, price, and stock level map to a Monday.com Products board with Name, SKU (text), Price (currency), and Stock Level (number) columns. Product codes from Black Ice become the SKU column. Stock levels are migrated as a current snapshot; Monday.com does not have automated inventory reduction, so live stock updates require post-migration reconciliation with the customer's inventory management approach.

Black Ice Stock levels and reorder thresholds migrate to a Stock Level column on the Monday.com Products board. The reorder alert threshold from Black Ice is stored as a Reorder Point column for manual monitoring. We flag that Monday.com does not generate automated stock alerts or picking lists; these are operational processes that the customer redesigns post-migration using Monday.com Workflows or a third-party inventory app.

Black Ice CRM's fully customisable modules mean custom fields vary between deployments. We perform a pre-migration field audit on a sample export to identify every active custom property per module. Each Black Ice custom field maps to a Monday.com column of the appropriate type (text, number, date, dropdown, checkbox). Any picklist or multi-select values from Black Ice are recreated as Monday.com status groups or list columns. The audit output is a field mapping spreadsheet shared with the customer for confirmation before migration.
