Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Boostr to Odoo CRM is a migration from a media-advertising-specific platform to a general-purpose ERP with an integrated CRM module. Boostr's data model (Advertisers, Campaigns, Proposals, Orders, Ad Inventory Units) does not map directly to Odoo's Contact-Company-Opportunity model, so we perform a semantic translation during transformation. Boostr Proposals map to Odoo CRM Opportunities in a draft or proposal stage, while confirmed Orders map to Odoo Opportunities in a Closed Won state. Ad inventory line items (placement, format, dates, impressions, CPM, unit count) are extracted per Order and flattened into Odoo custom fields or a dedicated product line on the Opportunity. Odoo has no native bulk API — we use Odoo's native CSV/XLSX import with column-header matching and model sequencing. We do not migrate Boostr's GAM push integration (OAuth tokens are platform-bound) or its 50+ out-of-the-box media workflows; we deliver a written inventory of active workflows and GAM connection details for your ad ops team to re-establish post-migration.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Boostr logo

Boostr

What's pushing teams away

  • Manual activity tracking is required — Boostr does not automatically log sales engagement actions, forcing reps to enter data by hand.
  • Gmail integration covers only basic activity logging with no sequence or outreach automation, frustrating reps used to embedded sales engagement tools.
  • Teams report that inventory management workflows break down when dealing with multi-channel or custom ad unit configurations.
  • The platform's narrow media focus means it cannot function as a general-purpose CRM for non-advertising business units within the same company.
  • Integration with GAM works for straightforward flows but becomes unreliable when edits need to be pushed back to the ad server after initial sync.

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 Boostr objects map to Odoo CRM

Each row shows how a Boostr 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.

Boostr

Advertiser

maps to

Odoo CRM

Contact + Company (Address)

1:many
Fully supported

Boostr Advertisers (the buyer account record) map to both an Odoo Contact and a corresponding Odoo Company (Address) record. The Advertiser name becomes the Company name; the primary contact name and email become the Contact. We extract Advertiser custom fields (industry, agency relationship, primary contact role) into Odoo Contact custom fields. Multi-contact Advertisers result in one primary Contact linked to the Company with additional Contacts as related Odoo Contacts under the same Company.

Boostr

Campaign

maps to

Odoo CRM

CRM Opportunity or Project

1:many
Fully supported

Boostr Campaigns (grouping multiple Proposals and Orders under one media campaign umbrella) map to Odoo CRM Opportunities with a custom field boostr_campaign_id__c and boostr_campaign_name__c preserved for lineage. If the customer uses Odoo Project for campaign project management, we map Campaign to Project and link Opportunities to the Project as deliverables. The customer chooses the strategy during scoping based on whether they track media campaigns as sales pipeline records or as project delivery records.

Boostr

Proposal

maps to

Odoo CRM

CRM Opportunity (Draft/Proposal stage)

1:1
Fully supported

Boostr Proposals (draft offers before order confirmation) map to Odoo CRM Opportunities with Stage set to a configured draft state (Proposal Sent or Negotiation) that mirrors Boostr's proposal lifecycle. Proposal-level pricing, advertiser references, and line items migrate to Opportunity custom fields or Opportunity Product Lines. The original Boostr proposal ID is preserved in boostr_proposal_id__c on the Opportunity record.

Boostr

Order

maps to

Odoo CRM

CRM Opportunity (Won stage)

1:1
Fully supported

Boostr Orders (confirmed commercial bookings) map to Odoo CRM Opportunities with Stage set to Won and Expected Revenue populated from the Order total value. Order-to-Proposal lineage is preserved by linking the Odoo Opportunity (Won) to the parent Odoo Opportunity (Proposal) via a custom lookup field. Order revenue type and billing status migrate to custom fields.

Boostr

Ad Inventory Unit

maps to

Odoo CRM

Custom Fields + Product Lines

1:many
Fully supported

Boostr Ad Inventory Units (placement, format, dates, impressions, CPM, unit count) attached to each Order are extracted as separate rows during transformation. Each line item becomes an Odoo Opportunity Product Line entry with custom fields boostr_placement__c, boostr_format__c, boostr_impressions__c, boostr_cpm__c, and boostr_start_date__c, boostr_end_date__c. If Odoo Inventory is in use, we recommend creating a Product record per ad format for deeper tracking.

Boostr

Revenue Record

maps to

Odoo CRM

Opportunity Expected Revenue + Accounting entry

1:1
Fully supported

Boostr revenue figures at the Order level migrate to Odoo Opportunity Expected Revenue. If the customer uses Odoo Accounting alongside CRM, we create corresponding Account Move entries in draft state for the customer's accounting team to review and post. Revenue type (CPM, flat-rate, hybrid) and billing status migrate to custom fields on the Opportunity.

Boostr

Pipeline Stage

maps to

Odoo CRM

Opportunity Stage

lossy
Fully supported

Boostr's configurable pipeline stages (Prospect, Proposal, Negotiating, Booked, etc.) map to Odoo CRM Stage records. We replicate the customer's stage labels and probabilities into Odoo Stages, setting the probability percentages per Boostr's configured values. Won and Lost stages map directly.

Boostr

User / Owner

maps to

Odoo CRM

User

1:1
Fully supported

Boostr User records (names, roles, team assignments) map to Odoo User. We resolve by email match during import. Any Boostr Owner without a matching Odoo User is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision. Odoo's multi-company configuration requires us to map Boostr team assignments to Odoo company or workspace records during user provisioning.

Boostr

Custom Properties (Advertiser)

maps to

Odoo CRM

Contact custom fields

1:1
Fully supported

Boostr custom fields on Advertisers migrate to Odoo Contact custom fields. We discover the full custom field schema during scoping and apply field-level mapping. Odoo Studio allows admin-level custom field creation without developer access, which we use to pre-provision the schema before migration.

Boostr

Custom Properties (Order)

maps to

Odoo CRM

Opportunity custom fields

1:1
Fully supported

Boostr custom fields on Orders migrate to Odoo Opportunity custom fields. Custom field types (text, number, date, selection) map to equivalent Odoo field types. Selection fields with restricted values must have the same picklist values defined in Odoo before import to avoid rejection.

Boostr

GAM Integration

maps to

Odoo CRM

None (documentation only)

1:1
Fully supported

Boostr's Google Ad Manager push integration uses platform-bound OAuth tokens that cannot be replicated in Odoo. We document the active GAM connection details (publisher account ID, network code, order setup) during discovery and include a reconnection checklist in the post-migration handoff. The customer's ad ops team re-establishes the GAM connection in their ad serving stack as a configuration step, not a data migration task.

Boostr

Workflow / Automation

maps to

Odoo CRM

None (inventory only)

1:1
Fully supported

Boostr's 50+ out-of-the-box media-specific workflows (proposal generation, order confirmation, GAM push, revenue recognition) are platform-bound and do not migrate. We deliver a written inventory of every active Boostr workflow with its trigger, conditions, actions, and recommended Odoo Automated Actions equivalent. Odoo uses Server Actions and Automated Actions (available from Odoo Standard) as the rebuild target.

Pair-specific challenges

  • No public API forces manual export coordination with Boostr

    Boostr does not publicly document a REST API or bulk export endpoint. Data must be extracted via manual CSV pulls from the Boostr UI or with direct assistance from the Boostr support team. We scope a dedicated extraction session with the customer's Boostr admin before transformation begins, agreeing on export format, field set, and date range. We validate export completeness (row counts per object, field headers, and null rates) before any transformation starts. Missing or truncated exports are the most common cause of delays in Boostr migrations.

  • Proposal and Order objects map to a single Opportunity model

    Boostr separates Proposals (draft offers) from Orders (confirmed bookings) as two distinct objects. Odoo CRM collapses both into the Opportunity object with stage states. We handle this by mapping Boostr Proposals to Odoo Opportunities in a Draft or Proposal stage and Boostr Orders to Odoo Opportunities in a Won stage. We preserve the Proposal-to-Order lineage via a custom parent opportunity lookup field so the customer's admin can trace order history back to the originating proposal.

  • Ad inventory line items require custom field flattening

    Boostr captures ad inventory as structured line items per Order — placement, format, dates, impressions, CPM, unit count. Odoo CRM has no native line-item table on Opportunities. We extract each inventory unit as a separate row during transformation and write it as an Opportunity Product Line with custom fields carrying the media-specific metadata. If the customer requires granular reporting by placement or format, we recommend creating Odoo Product records per ad format and linking them as Opportunity Product Lines.

  • Odoo import requires exact column header matching

    Odoo's native CSV/XLSX import matches fields by column header name rather than API name or position. Boostr export column headers must be renamed to match Odoo field names or mapped via Odoo's import mapping screen before each import phase. We provide a rename script and import mapping template that aligns Boostr export headers to Odoo's expected field names, reducing import errors and rejection rates.

  • Odoo multi-company and multi-currency configuration

    Customers with multi-entity Boostr setups (multiple publishers or business units under one Boostr instance) may need Odoo's multi-company configuration to keep accounts separated post-migration. We scope this during discovery and configure Odoo company and workspace records during the schema design phase. If Boostr tracked revenue in multiple currencies, Odoo's multi-currency support requires configuring the currency list, exchange rate sources, and auto-update schedules before historical revenue data is imported.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Boostr to Odoo CRM data migration

  1. Discovery and export scoping

    We audit the Boostr instance with the customer's admin: record counts per object (Advertisers, Campaigns, Proposals, Orders, Ad Inventory Units), custom field schema on each object, active pipeline stages and probabilities, GAM integration status, and active workflows. We identify any data that requires manual pull rather than automated export. The output is a written migration scope with record counts, a proposed extraction schedule, and a Boostr export checklist for the admin to execute before transformation begins.

  2. Schema design and custom field provisioning

    We design the Odoo destination schema: CRM stage names and probabilities matching the Boostr pipeline, custom fields on Contact and Opportunity for Boostr custom property equivalents, opportunity-product-line configuration for ad inventory, multi-company setup if applicable, and user provisioning against the Boostr owner list. Odoo Studio handles custom field creation without developer access for most field types. We deploy into the customer's Odoo staging environment first for validation.

  3. Boostr export coordination and extraction validation

    We coordinate the manual Boostr export with the customer's admin during a scoped extraction session. The admin executes CSV pulls for each object (Advertisers, Campaigns, Proposals, Orders, Ad Inventory Units) with agreed column sets. We validate each export: row counts, header alignment, null rates, and cross-object referential integrity (e.g., every Order has a valid Advertiser reference). We flag any missing records or truncated fields before transformation begins.

  4. Transformation and opportunity split

    We run transformation scripts that split the Boostr Proposal-Order lifecycle into the Odoo Opportunity model: Proposals become Opportunities in draft stages, Orders become Opportunities in Won, and Order-to-Proposal lineage is resolved via the parent lookup field. Ad inventory rows are extracted per Order and written as Opportunity Product Lines with custom metadata fields. Custom field values from Advertisers and Orders are mapped to the corresponding Odoo custom fields. We produce a transformation log that tracks every record processed and any transformation anomalies.

  5. Odoo import sequencing and reconciliation

    We import into Odoo in dependency order: Companies (from Advertisers), Contacts (linked to Companies), Opportunities from Proposals, Opportunities from Orders (with parent lookup resolved), Opportunity Product Lines (after parent Opportunity exists), and finally user reconciliation. Each phase emits a reconciliation report (rows in, rows created, rows rejected, rejection reasons). The customer's Odoo admin reviews and signs off between phases in the staging environment.

  6. Sandbox validation and production migration

    We run the full migration sequence in Odoo Sandbox (a copy of the production database) using production-like data volumes. The customer's admin spot-checks 25-50 records per object against the Boostr source and signs off the mapping. After sign-off, we run production migration in the same sequence with a freeze on new Boostr writes during the cutover window. A final delta migration captures any records modified during the migration window. We deliver the GAM reconnection checklist and workflow inventory document to the customer's admin team.

Strengths

  • Combined CRM and OMS eliminates double-entry between sold proposals and booked orders.
  • Omnichannel revenue forecasting tailored to media inventory across digital, print, and broadcast.
  • GAM push integration for ad serving directly from the platform.
  • Pre-built media analytics dashboards covering CPM, fill rate, and placement revenue.
  • Configurable pipeline stages and product pricing with no-code administration.

Weaknesses

  • No publicly documented API or bulk export mechanism, requiring manual data pull coordination.
  • Manual activity tracking with no embedded sales engagement or sequence tools.
  • Limited Gmail integration restricted to basic activity logging, not full outreach sync.
  • Inventory management workflows break down for complex multi-format or custom ad unit setups.
  • Platform has no general-purpose CRM capability outside of media ad sales.

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.
