Overview

What this migration involves

BoomTown targets real estate brokerages with a bundled CRM that includes IDX websites, predictive lead scoring, and managed PPC — all in 12-month contracts starting around $1,000/month. Teams migrate to Odoo CRM when they want a modular open-source platform that scales from a single CRM app to a full ERP across sales, accounting, inventory, and HR, with per-user pricing from $24/month on the Standard plan. FlitStack AI extracts BoomTown data via your account's export endpoints, maps contacts to Odoo crm.lead, companies to res.partner, and deals to crm.lead, then loads records through Odoo's XML-RPC API. A 24–48 hour delta window after initial extraction captures any in-flight changes made during the cutover. BoomTown workflows, drip campaigns, lead-routing rules, and Mojo integrations do not migrate — Odoo's automation rules ( Opportunities → Lost Reason, stage-based activities) must be rebuilt manually. Custom BoomTown fields map to Odoo custom fields on crm.lead and res.partner, which your Odoo admin creates before the migration run.

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

BoomTown

What's pushing teams away

  • Perceived lack of product innovation leaves long-term users feeling the feature set has stagnated without meaningful new capabilities.
  • 12-month contract terms combined with bundled pricing create significant switching costs once setup and customization are complete.
  • Integration-heavy architecture means lead data, website content, and workflows become tightly coupled to the platform over time.
  • Pricing lacks transparency, with no published rates on the vendor site and third-party estimates suggesting entry costs around $1,000 per month plus setup fees.

Choosing

Odoo CRM logo

Odoo CRM

What's pulling them in

  • Teams choose Odoo CRM for its modular architecture — one base install with one-click app additions means they can adopt CRM alone and add accounting, inventory, or sales later as the business grows.
  • Small businesses pick Odoo because the Community edition is free and open-source, with no per-user or contact limits, allowing full evaluation before committing to a paid Enterprise tier.
  • The drag-and-drop Kanban pipeline and AI lead scoring are highlighted across G2 reviews as concrete features that make lead management faster and more visual than spreadsheet-based workflows.
  • Odoo's native integration with email, live chat, SMS, VoIP, and WhatsApp means inbound leads from multiple channels feed into a single pipeline without third-party middleware.
  • Companies in retail, supply chain, and construction value that Odoo's CRM module shares the same PostgreSQL database and UI as its ERP modules, eliminating data silos between sales and operations.

Object mapping

How BoomTown objects map to Odoo CRM

Each row shows how a BoomTown object lands in Odoo CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

BoomTown

Lead

maps to

Odoo CRM

crm.lead

1:1
Fully supported

BoomTown leads map directly to Odoo crm.lead records. The Odoo crm.lead model holds both leads and opportunities depending on the type field — we set type='lead' during migration and flag records with a BoomTown_Stage__c custom field for Odoo admin review to identify any stage-assignment logic that may require post-migration adjustment.

BoomTown

Contact

maps to

Odoo CRM

res.partner

1:1
Fully supported

BoomTown contacts with an associated company map to res.partner with partner_type='contact'. Contacts without a company land as individual res.partner records. Odoo's res.partner serves as the unified contact and company model — we set parent_id to link to the associated company partner.

BoomTown

Company

maps to

Odoo CRM

res.partner

1:1
Fully supported

BoomTown companies become res.partner records with partner_type='company'. The company name maps to the name field, domain to the website field, and industry to a custom selection field. Odoo's res.partner has no separate Company object — the company-contact hierarchy is handled via parent_id links on individual contacts.

BoomTown

Deal

maps to

Odoo CRM

crm.lead (type=opportunity)

1:1
Fully supported

BoomTown deals map to Odoo crm.lead records with type='opportunity'. The deal name becomes the opportunity name, amount maps to Odoo's expected_revenue field, and close date maps to date_deadline. Pipeline and stage values require pre-created Odoo pipeline stages before the migration run.

BoomTown

Pipeline Stage

maps to

Odoo CRM

crm.stage

1:1
Fully supported

Each BoomTown pipeline stage name maps to a corresponding Odoo crm.stage entry in the Pipeline. Stage probability percentages are stored on the Odoo stage record. If BoomTown uses a stage not yet defined in Odoo, we flag it for pre-migration stage creation and then apply the value mapping.

BoomTown

User / Owner

maps to

Odoo CRM

res.users

1:1
Fully supported

BoomTown owner IDs resolve by email match against Odoo res.users records. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — teams either invite the user to Odoo first or assign their records to a fallback Odoo user. No record lands without a resolved OwnerId in Odoo.

BoomTown

Activity (call, email, meeting)

maps to

Odoo CRM

mail.message / crm.activity

1:1
Fully supported

BoomTown engagement events (logged calls, emails, meetings) migrate as Odoo mail.message records attached to the crm.lead. Original timestamps, subject lines, and owner IDs are preserved. Odoo's activity system (next activity date, summary) is set from BoomTown's last engagement date but requires manual Odoo workflow configuration.

BoomTown

Note

maps to

Odoo CRM

mail.message

1:1
Fully supported

BoomTown notes on leads or contacts migrate as Odoo mail.message records with subtype='comment'. The note body maps to the body field with HTML formatting preserved. Internal notes in BoomTown map to Odoo's 'Internal Note' subtype so the visibility stays restricted.

BoomTown

Attachment / File

maps to

Odoo CRM

ir.attachment

1:1
Fully supported

BoomTown file attachments are downloaded from source storage and re-uploaded to Odoo's ir.attachment model linked to the migrated crm.lead or res.partner via res_model and res_id. Each attachment gets associated with the parent Odoo record for traceability. Odoo file size limits apply with a default of 25MB per file, which can be adjusted per your Odoo instance configuration. Inline images embedded in notes are extracted, re-hosted, and URLs updated accordingly.

BoomTown

Custom Property (lead/contact)

maps to

Odoo CRM

Custom field on crm.lead / res.partner

1:1
Fully supported

BoomTown custom properties on leads and contacts require Odoo custom fields to be pre-created via Odoo Studio or Python model definition before migration. We deliver a custom field manifest listing each BoomTown property name, data type, and recommended Odoo field definition so your Odoo admin can pre-create the schema.

BoomTown

Custom Property (deal)

maps to

Odoo CRM

Custom field on crm.lead (opportunity)

1:1
Fully supported

BoomTown deal-level custom properties map to custom fields on the crm.lead model where type='opportunity'. Field data types are preserved — pick-lists in BoomTown become Odoo selection fields with manual value mapping. Numeric and date fields migrate directly once the custom field exists in Odoo.

BoomTown

Workflow / Automation

maps to

Odoo CRM

Not migrated

1:1
Fully supported

BoomTown workflows, drip campaigns, lead-routing rules, and automated task sequences do not have a migration path to Odoo. Odoo's Automated Actions and Server Actions use a different event-trigger model. We export BoomTown workflow definitions as a rebuild reference document for your Odoo admin or implementation partner.

BoomTown

Lead Score

maps to

Odoo CRM

Custom Number field on crm.lead

1:1
Fully supported

BoomTown's predictive lead score is stored as a numeric property on leads. Odoo CRM has an optional AI lead scoring module on the Enterprise plan; on Community or Standard, we migrate the numeric score to a custom integer field (lead_score) so the historical value is available even if scoring is rebuilt.

BoomTown

Association (contact-to-deal)

maps to

Odoo CRM

opportunity_id on crm.lead / contact_ids

1:1
Fully supported

BoomTown links between contacts and deals are represented in Odoo via the contact_ids many2many field on crm.lead (opportunity). We preserve all contact associations against each deal so the full stakeholder picture is intact in Odoo after migration. Each deal record in Odoo retains its complete set of linked contacts, maintaining the relationship graph from the original BoomTown data.

Pair-specific challenges

  • BoomTown lead/contact split maps to a single Odoo crm.lead model

    BoomTown separates Leads and Contacts as distinct objects, while Odoo uses a single crm.lead model where the type field distinguishes between a raw lead and a qualified opportunity. During migration, we set type='lead' for BoomTown leads and type='opportunity' for BoomTown deals. If your BoomTown workflow treats Contacts as sales-ready records, they may need a stage advance in Odoo post-migration — the stage_id mapping plan identifies which BoomTown contact records should land in a later Odoo pipeline stage versus the initial stage.

  • BoomTown custom pipeline stages require Odoo stage pre-creation

    BoomTown lets you define arbitrary stage names per pipeline. Odoo's crm.stage records must exist in the database before records can be assigned to them — Odoo does not auto-create stages during import. We deliver a stage-mapping manifest listing each BoomTown pipeline stage, its probability, and the recommended Odoo stage definition. Your Odoo admin creates these stages in the CRM Pipeline configuration before the migration run. Records referencing a stage that does not yet exist will be held in a 'Pending Stage' status until the stage is confirmed in Odoo.

  • BoomTown deal priority has no native Odoo equivalent

    BoomTown supports custom deal priority labels such as Hot, Warm, or Cold on deals. Odoo CRM has no native priority field on opportunities beyond the standard priority pick-list (0–4 stars). Migrating BoomTown priority values requires a custom selection field on the crm.lead model. We map each BoomTown priority value to a custom pick-list option — the field definition is included in the custom field manifest your admin creates before migration. Without this pre-creation step, priority data is stored in a fallback text field.

  • BoomTown file attachments must be re-uploaded to Odoo ir.attachment

    BoomTown stores file attachments in its own blob storage. Odoo's ir.attachment model references files stored in its own filestore (local filesystem, S3, or another configured storage backend). There is no direct attachment migration path — all BoomTown attachments are downloaded and re-uploaded via Odoo's ir.attachment create operation, linked to the migrated record by res_model=crm.lead and the corresponding Odoo record ID. File size limits apply (default 25MB per file) and inline images in notes are extracted, re-hosted, and the URLs updated in the note body.

  • BoomTown custom properties require Odoo custom field pre-creation

    Any custom properties configured in BoomTown on leads, contacts, or deals have no pre-existing Odoo field to receive them. We identify every BoomTown custom property during the assessment phase, infer its data type from the API response, and deliver a manifest of Odoo custom field definitions (field name, type, selection options if applicable). Your Odoo admin creates these fields via Odoo Studio or a Python model write before the migration run. Custom properties on BoomTown deals that use pick-list values require explicit value-by-value mapping to Odoo selection options.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful BoomTown to Odoo CRM data migration

  1. Schema assessment and field manifest

    We read every BoomTown field visible in your account — standard objects plus all custom properties — and cross-reference them against Odoo's crm.lead and res.partner data dictionary. The output is a field-mapping manifest listing direct mappings, transformations, custom field requirements (with Odoo field definition syntax), and pick-list value maps for any BoomTown pick-list fields. Your Odoo admin creates the required custom fields and pipeline stages in Odoo before we touch the API.

  2. Export BoomTown data via API

    FlitStack AI authenticates against your BoomTown account using API V2 credentials and exports all leads, contacts, companies, deals, activities, and notes. Attachments are queued for download. We validate record counts and relationship integrity (orphaned contacts, deals with no owner) and flag data quality issues before any Odoo write occurs. Scoped read access means your team continues working in BoomTown throughout the extraction.

  3. Owner and user resolution

    BoomTown owner IDs are resolved against Odoo res.users by email match. Records whose owner email has no matching Odoo user are placed in a 'Pending Owner' staging state. We provide a resolution report listing all unresolved owners — your team either creates the corresponding Odoo user first or designates a fallback user for each. No record loads into Odoo without a confirmed user_id.

  4. Sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice of 100–500 records migrates first, covering contacts across multiple companies, deals in different pipeline stages, and a sample of activities. We generate a field-level diff showing every source field value against the corresponding Odoo field value. You review stage mapping, owner resolution, custom field population, and attachment re-upload before the full run commits. This is the checkpoint where custom field gaps are caught and resolved.

  5. Full migration run with delta pickup and audit log

    The complete dataset loads into Odoo via XML-RPC. A delta pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any records created or modified in BoomTown during the cutover window. FlitStack AI maintains an audit log of every record created, updated, or skipped, with the BoomTown source ID recorded in the BoomTown_ID__c field. If reconciliation uncovers unexpected gaps, one-click rollback reverts the Odoo environment to its pre-migration state so the full run can be corrected and re-executed.

Strengths

  • Modular open-source architecture lets teams start with CRM and add ERP apps as needs grow, all sharing one PostgreSQL database.
  • Free Community edition with no contact limits and full source code access means zero licensing cost for evaluation and small deployments.
  • Drag-and-drop Kanban pipeline with AI lead scoring gives a visual, prioritized view of the sales funnel without requiring custom configuration.
  • Native integrations with email, live chat, SMS, VoIP, WhatsApp, and social media feed all inbound leads into a single unified inbox.
  • Active Odoo Community Association (OCA) maintains dozens of community-maintained modules on GitHub for extended functionality.

Weaknesses

  • Gmail and email integration reliability is a recurring complaint — threads drop and conversations scatter across inboxes, disrupting sales team workflows.
  • Enterprise edition pricing stacks quickly: multiple apps at per-user rates ($25–$50/user/month) plus Odoo.sh hosting costs more than many SMBs anticipate.
  • Setup and configuration complexity increases significantly once custom fields, automation rules, and multiple installed modules are in play.
  • Odoo.sh trial databases run on a version (e.g., 18.3) that is not directly migratable to Odoo.sh, blocking the assisted migration path Odoo advertises.
  • Version upgrades between major Odoo releases (e.g., 17→18) frequently break custom module view definitions and XPath expressions, requiring manual remediation.
