Overview
Briostack is a pest-control and lawn-care CRM that combines customer management with scheduling, routing, and marketing automation. Its data model centers on Customers (with N:N company associations), Deals, Service Calls, and a full route-and-technician layer. Odoo CRM runs on a unified crm_lead model (Lead and Opportunity are the same record type differentiated by stage), a res_partner contact/company record, and a mail_activity log for all interactions. The two platforms share the basic contact-company-deal vocabulary but diverge on everything below the surface. Briostack tracks service-history records and technician assignments that have no native Odoo CRM equivalent; those migrate as custom fields and attachments. Briostack workflows, automations, and marketing sequences cannot move — they must be rebuilt in Odoo using Odoo's Automations or external tools. FlitStack extracts Briostack data via its Public API (JSON endpoints) and loads into Odoo via XML-RPC create/write calls, preserving original create_date and write_date as custom fields. A sample migration with field-level diff runs first so you verify the mapping before the full cutover commits. During cutover a 24–48 hour delta pickup window captures any Briostack records modified while the migration was running.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Briostack 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.
Briostack
Customer
Odoo CRM
crm.lead
1:1Briostack Customer records map to Odoo crm_lead with type='lead' by default. The is_customer flag from Briostack migrates as a custom Boolean field (x_is_customer) on the crm_lead. When a Customer record has no associated Company in Briostack, the resulting crm_lead is created without a partner_id and must be assigned manually in Odoo post-migration, or linked to a default partner record.
Briostack
Company
Odoo CRM
res.partner
1:1Briostack Company maps to Odoo res_partner with is_company=True. Parent-child company hierarchies in Briostack use the parent_company_id field and map directly to Odoo's parent_id on res_partner. Each Company in Briostack must be migrated before Customer records that reference it, to ensure parent_id resolution succeeds during the load phase.
Briostack
Customer (with Company reference)
Odoo CRM
res.partner
1:1Briostack Customers linked to a Company map to Odoo res_partner with is_company=False and partner_share=True, linked to the parent Company record via parent_id. When a Customer has multiple Company associations in Briostack (N:N model) only the primary company is set as parent_id; secondary associations are stored as partner relations in Odoo.
Briostack
Deal
Odoo CRM
crm.lead
1:1Briostack Deal maps to Odoo crm_lead with type='opportunity'. The deal stage name maps to the corresponding stage_id in the target Odoo sales team. Probability values are mapped directly if Briostack provides them; otherwise Odoo's stage-based probability is applied per the stage configuration.
Briostack
Service Call / Appointment
Odoo CRM
mail.activity / Ir Attachment
1:1Briostack Service Calls and Appointments have no standard Odoo CRM equivalent. Scheduled calls map to mail_activity records with activity_type_id matching the Odoo standard. Completed service records with pest-type, chemical-used, and resolution notes are stored as custom fields on the crm_lead and as PDF attachments.
Briostack
Activity Log (Call, Email, Meeting, Note)
Odoo CRM
mail.activity
1:1Briostack Call, Email, Meeting, and Note activity records map to Odoo mail_activity entries linked to the parent crm_lead. The activity_type_id field is set per interaction type to match Odoo's standard activity types. Original timestamps (activity_date) and owner_id are preserved during migration. Note body content migrates to mail_message or ir_attachment depending on whether files are attached.
Briostack
Custom Field (any Briostack object)
Odoo CRM
Custom Field (x_ field or ir.model.fields)
1:1Briostack custom fields on any standard object require manual creation in Odoo before the migration loads. FlitStack delivers a custom-field manifest listing field name, type, and Briostack value options so your Odoo admin creates them in Settings > Technical > Custom Fields. Field labels, help text, and pick-list values are documented in the migration plan.
Briostack
Custom Object (Briostack Enterprise)
Odoo CRM
Custom Odoo Model (ir.model)
1:1Briostack custom objects (Enterprise tier) require an equivalent Odoo model to be defined via XML data file or Odoo Studio. Custom object records are migrated after the model and fields exist in Odoo. N:N associations between Briostack custom objects need Odoo many-to-many relational fields defined upfront.
Briostack
Technician / Staff
Odoo CRM
res.users
1:1Briostack Technician and Staff records map to Odoo res_users. Owner-assignment fields on Briostack records resolve to Odoo users by email match. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration; your team either invites them to Odoo first or assigns to a fallback user.
Briostack
Route / Route Assignment
Odoo CRM
Ir Attachment / Custom Field
1:1Briostack route definitions and route-to-technician assignments have no standard Odoo CRM equivalent. These are preserved as documentation attachments and custom fields on the crm_lead for reference. Rebuilding route planning in Odoo requires the Odoo Field Service module or a third-party routing integration.
Briostack
Marketing Campaign / Automation
Odoo CRM
Odoo Email Marketing / Automations (manual rebuild)
1:1Briostack marketing campaigns and automation sequences do not migrate. Odoo Email Marketing (mass_mailing module) handles email campaigns but must be configured from scratch. FlitStack exports Briostack campaign definitions as a reference document for your Odoo admin or marketing team to rebuild.

Migration approach
Inventory Briostack data and design the Odoo schema
FlitStack pulls a full export from Briostack via its Public API (contacts, companies, deals, activities, service calls, custom fields, and custom objects). We identify every Briostack custom field and map each one to an Odoo field name, type, and pick-list option. We deliver a schema setup checklist that lists every custom field to be created in Odoo before migration, broken down by object. Your Odoo admin creates these fields in the Odoo interface before Step 3 begins.
Resolve owner and user mappings
Briostack owner IDs on deals, activities, and service calls are matched to Odoo res_users by email address. We generate an owner-resolution report listing every Briostack owner, their email, and the matched Odoo user. Any owner with no Odoo match is flagged as 'unresolved' so your team either invites them to Odoo or designates a fallback user. No record migrates without a resolved owner unless your team explicitly approves the fallback.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
We migrate a representative slice of Briostack data — typically 200–500 records across customers, companies, deals, and activities — into your Odoo test environment. The field-level diff compares every source field against its destination value and flags discrepancies (truncated text, missing pick-list values, unresolved owners). You review the diff and approve the mapping before the full migration runs. This is where custom field creation gaps surface and get fixed.
Execute the full migration with delta-pickup window
The full Briostack dataset loads into Odoo via XML-RPC API calls, respecting Odoo's record-creation constraints. A delta-pickup window opens simultaneously — any Briostack record created or modified after the migration snapshot timestamp is captured in a separate batch and merged before the final cutover. The audit log records every create and write operation. If reconciliation finds unexpected gaps, one-click rollback reverts the Odoo environment to its pre-migration state.
Validate data integrity and document automation rebuild plan
FlitStack runs post-migration checks against every mapped field: record counts per object, required-field completeness, owner resolution rate, and date-field preservation. We deliver a data-integrity report showing pass/fail per object. We also deliver the Automation Rebuild Reference — a structured export of every Briostack automation, workflow rule, and integration endpoint so your Odoo admin can rebuild them in Odoo Studio or connect them via external tools.
