Migrate your BSI CRM data
AI-augmented CRM/CX platform from Swiss software company BSI, built for mid-market businesses in regulated industries that need structured workflows, compliance reporting, and integrated customer data management.
In its favor
Why people choose BSI CRM
The signal that keeps BSI CRM on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Compliance and audit readiness in regulated environments — users consistently cite structured processes, traceability, and documentation as primary reasons for choosing BSI CRM, especially in clinical research and quality management contexts.
Organizational clarity across departments — reviewers highlight how the platform centralizes information, reduces data confusion, and keeps cross-functional teams aligned on customer records and task status.
AI-driven automation for repetitive data tasks — BSI's built-in AI power handles automated data enrichment and workflow triggers, reducing manual entry overhead for sales and service teams.
Cross-functional collaboration design — the platform's architecture supports information sharing across teams rather than siloing data by department, which mid-market organizations with matrix structures find valuable.
Modular industry-specific configurations — BSI's approach to tailoring solutions for banking, retail, insurance, and health and wellness allows businesses to deploy only the modules relevant to their vertical.
Steep learning curve creates friction during onboarding — multiple G2 reviewers cite the setup and adoption process as time-consuming, leading some teams to reconsider before fully committing to the platform.
Interface usability falls short of expectations — despite some users praising the design, others report that the UI is not user-friendly and slows down daily task completion rather than accelerating it.
Performance issues affect peak-period productivity — slow loading times during busy periods and occasional bugs have a measurable negative impact on user satisfaction and team efficiency.
Limited customization constrains adaptation to unique processes — businesses with non-standard sales motions or specialized data requirements find the platform's customization boundaries restrict how well it fits their workflow.
Switching costs and data portability concerns — with no publicly documented self-service export or migration tooling, teams evaluating alternatives worry about the effort required to extract historical data and recreate configurations.

Pricing tiers
BSI CRM pricing overview
BSI CRM does not publish pricing publicly on its website or in the third-party sources reviewed. The platform appears to operate a tiered model with Free, Starter, Professional, and Enterprise plans, but specific per-user or per-feature pricing requires direct contact with the BSI sales team. This opacity is typical of mid-market CRM platforms targeting regulated industries, where sales cycles involve configuration scoping before pricing is determined.

What gets migrated
BSI CRM object support
Object-by-object support for BSI CRM migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Contacts
Mapping requiredBSI CRM stores individual contact records with standard fields (name, email, phone, title) and custom properties. We map these directly to the destination Contacts object, preserving any custom field definitions as custom properties in the target CRM. Relationship links to Companies must be re-established post-migration if the destination uses a different entity relationship model.
Companies (Accounts)
Mapping requiredCompany/Account records in BSI CRM support hierarchical structures and industry-specific classification fields. We map these to the destination Companies object and preserve parent-child relationships as organizational hierarchy fields where supported.
Deals (Opportunities)
Mapping requiredDeal records carry pipeline stage, value, owner assignment, and expected close date. Pipeline stages require explicit mapping because BSI's stage names and counts vary by industry configuration. We sequence Deals after Contacts and Companies in the migration load order to preserve owner and account linkages.
Activities
Mapping requiredActivities in BSI CRM include logged calls, emails, meetings, and tasks linked to Contacts or Deals. We map these to the destination Activities object and preserve the parent record linkage. Activity timestamps and direction flags (inbound/outbound) are normalized to match the destination schema.
Custom Objects
Mapping requiredBSI CRM supports custom objects and fields defined within its modular configuration. These require pre-migration discovery to enumerate — the platform does not publish a self-service export for custom object schemas. We document all custom object names, field sets, and record counts during scoping and create corresponding objects in the target CRM before data load.
Attachments
Mapping requiredFile attachments associated with Contacts, Deals, or Activities are exported individually and must be linked back to their parent record in the destination. BSI's file storage structure varies by configuration, so we enumerate attachment counts per object during the scoping phase to account for the additional migration scope.
Users (Owners)
Fully supportedUser and Owner records are migrated first in the load sequence as all other objects reference them as foreign keys. We preserve the user's email, name, and role designation. Role and permission sets are noted separately as they may require manual reconfiguration in the destination CRM depending on its permission model.
Tags and Classifications
Mapping requiredBSI CRM supports tagging and custom classification fields that may not have a direct equivalent in all destination CRMs. We capture these as custom multi-select or single-select fields and flag any tags that would need to be recreated as labels or categories in the destination.
