Overview

What this migration involves

Migrating from bxp software to Freshsales is a migration from a bespoke, per-client CRM deployment to a standard SaaS CRM with predictable pricing and a published API. bxp software's core data model centres on Forms and Contacts with custom fields and relationships built per client instance, which means no two migrations share the same source schema. We begin every engagement with a schema enumeration phase that inventories every Form, field, and relationship in the bxp instance before designing the Freshsales destination schema. Proprietary CDA and CCL archive exports require conversion to CSV or JSON before loading. Contact-centre-specific modules including QA evaluations and eLearning records have no native Freshsales equivalent; we export these as structured data attachments or Custom Objects and document the gap for the customer's admin. Workflows and automations are not migrated; we deliver a written inventory for rebuild in Freshsales Workflows post-migration.

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

What's pushing teams away

  • Pricing opacity is the most cited frustration — no list price is published, forcing prospects into a sales conversation before they can evaluate cost.
  • Highly bespoke deployments create switching lock-in — data models and workflows are unique to each client instance, making migration to a standard CRM complex and expensive.
  • Small market footprint and limited public documentation make it difficult for IT teams to evaluate API capabilities or run independent due diligence.
  • Feature parity gaps versus established CRMs emerge as businesses scale, particularly around reporting, integrations, and mobile access.

Choosing

Freshsales logo

Freshsales

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest barrier to entry among major CRMs — the free tier supports up to 3 users and includes core CRM functionality before committing to per-seat pricing.
  • Built-in chat, email, and phone reduce reliance on third-party integrations for basic sales communication and contact management.
  • Freddy AI contact scoring and deal insights are included on Pro plans at a lower price than comparable HubSpot tiers.
  • Kanban pipeline views across Contacts, Accounts, and Deals provide visual deal management without requiring custom configuration.
  • Integration with the broader Freshworks ecosystem (Freshdesk, Freshchat, Freshservice) reduces tool sprawl for teams already using Freshworks.

Object mapping

How bxp software objects map to Freshsales

Each row shows how a bxp software object lands in Freshsales, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

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

bxp software

Form

maps to

Freshsales

Contact (or Custom Object)

lossy
Fully supported

bxp Forms are the primary data containers in a bxp deployment and carry arbitrary field configurations unique to each instance. We enumerate every Form definition during scoping, identify standard fields (name, email, phone) and custom fields per Form, then map each Form to either a Freshsales Contact record (for standard CRM fields) or a Freshsales Custom Object (for industry-specific or contact-centre-specific fields). The Form-to-Object mapping is one of the primary deliverables from the discovery phase.

bxp software

Contact

maps to

Freshsales

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

bxp Contact records map directly to Freshsales Contact. Standard fields including email address, phone number, name, and address data use Freshsales native Contact fields. All bespoke custom fields enumerated during schema discovery map to Freshsales custom fields on the Contact object, preserving field types and picklist values. Freshsales custom fields support text, number, date, picklist, multi-select picklist, and currency types.

bxp software

Activity

maps to

Freshsales

Task / Event / Call

1:1
Fully supported

bxp activity logs (call interactions, agent notes, interaction records) are extracted via the bxp API or from Form exports. We map call duration and disposition to Freshsales Call records, general interaction notes to Task records, and scheduled activities to Event records. The bxp activity schema varies by deployment, so every field is reviewed during scoping and mapped individually to the closest Freshsales equivalent.

bxp software

Custom Field (per Form)

maps to

Freshsales

Contact Custom Field or Custom Object Field

lossy
Fully supported

bxp's core value proposition is custom fields built per client. We treat every custom field discovered during schema enumeration as a mapping candidate. Text fields map to Freshsales text custom fields, numeric fields to number or currency custom fields, and date fields to Freshsales date custom fields. Multi-select or tag-style fields map to Freshsales multi-select picklist fields with values preserved from the source. Any field that does not fit a standard Freshsales type is documented for the customer's admin to review.

bxp software

Custom Archive (CDA/CCL)

maps to

Freshsales

CSV or JSON intermediate format

lossy
Fully supported

bxp custom archives in CDA and CCL formats are proprietary binary exports that require parsing before migration. We convert CDA/CCL exports into structured CSV or JSON using a custom parsing routine, then load the converted data as standard records into Freshsales. The conversion step adds time to the discovery and extraction phases and is scoped as a separate workstream during planning.

bxp software

Agent Metrics

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Object or structured attachment

1:1
Mapping required

bxp agent metrics including call duration, wrap time, and QA scores are contact-centre-specific and have no direct Freshsales standard object equivalent. We export these as structured records in a Freshsales Custom Object (agent_metrics) linked to the Contact record via a lookup relationship, or as structured attachments if the destination Freshsales plan does not include Custom Objects. The customer selects the preferred storage strategy during scoping.

bxp software

eLearning Record

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Object or structured attachment

1:1
Fully supported

bxp eLearning module records (training completion, module scores, assignments) are exported as structured data. They map to a Freshsales Custom Object (training_record) linked to the associated Contact or a dedicated User object. If the destination Freshsales plan does not support Custom Objects, we export these as structured JSON attachments and deliver them alongside the migration for manual import or future Custom Object adoption.

bxp software

Quality Assurance Record

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Object or structured attachment

1:1
Fully supported

bxp QA evaluations tied to specific calls or interactions are exported alongside the associated Contact and activity record to preserve evaluation context. They map to a Freshsales Custom Object (qa_evaluation) with fields for score, evaluator, evaluation date, and linked call reference. We flag any bxp QA field that has no Freshsales equivalent and document it for admin review.

Pair-specific challenges

  • bxp API documentation is not publicly available

    bxp software does not publish API documentation on a developer portal or public website. The bxp API documentation (versions 6.0-5) is distributed as an internal PDF that must be requested directly from the bxp team during scoping. If the bxp instance's API access is restricted or the PDF is not provided, we fall back to Form exports and custom archive exports in CDA and CCL formats. The extraction path is confirmed before the migration scope is finalised.

  • Every bxp instance has a unique schema requiring full enumeration

    bxp's differentiation is its per-client custom deployment. There is no standard object set, no standard field list, and no standard relationship model across bxp instances. We cannot pre-build a migration template for bxp. Every engagement begins with a schema discovery phase that inventories every Form, field name, field type, and relationship in the source instance before we design the Freshsales destination schema. This phase adds one to two weeks to the project timeline and is scoped separately.

  • CDA and CCL archive formats require custom parsing

    bxp custom archives in CDA and CCL formats are proprietary and cannot be loaded directly into Freshsales. We convert CDA/CCL exports to structured CSV or JSON using a bespoke parsing routine before any data is loaded into Freshsales. The parsing step is included in the migration scope but adds complexity and time, particularly for large archive volumes. We test the parsing output against a sample before processing the full archive.

  • bxp contact-centre modules have no direct Freshsales equivalent

    bxp ships with integrated Quality Assurance and eLearning modules that are purpose-built for contact-centre environments. Freshsales is a standard SaaS CRM and does not include native QA evaluation or eLearning tracking. Agent metrics, QA scores, and eLearning completion records are exported as structured data and stored in Freshsales Custom Objects (on Pro and above) or as structured attachments. We flag the gap during scoping and the customer decides on storage strategy before migration.

  • Freshsales native integrations do not include bxp

    Freshsales offers a marketplace of native integrations with tools including Slack, HubSpot, Salesforce, and various telephony providers. There is no pre-built Freshsales integration for bxp software. Any ongoing data synchronisation between bxp and Freshsales post-migration requires custom API development or a middleware layer (Zapier, Workato) and is outside the migration scope. We document the integration gap in the handoff document.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful bxp software to Freshsales data migration

  1. Schema discovery and extraction planning

    We request the bxp API documentation PDF directly from the bxp team and test API connectivity in a sandbox environment. We enumerate every Form definition, field name, field type, and relationship in the bxp instance through a combination of API calls and, where the API is restricted, Form exports and CDA/CCL archive review. The output is a complete source schema document that forms the basis of the mapping design. This phase typically takes five to ten business days.

  2. Destination schema design in Freshsales

    We design the Freshsales destination schema based on the source enumeration. This includes provisioning custom fields on the Contact object for standard CRM data, creating Custom Objects for contact-centre-specific records (agent metrics, QA evaluations, eLearning), and configuring lookup relationships between Custom Objects and Contact records. If the destination Freshsales plan is Growth (which does not include Custom Objects), we scope a structured attachment strategy instead. Schema is validated in a Freshsales trial or sandbox environment before production migration begins.

  3. Data extraction from bxp

    We extract data from bxp using the bxp API where available and confirmed, falling back to Form exports and CDA/CCL archive exports where the API is restricted or unavailable. For CDA/CCL archives, we run the custom parsing routine to convert to CSV or JSON. All extracted data is staged in a secure intermediate environment for transform and validation before load into Freshsales.

  4. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into the Freshsales destination environment using production-like data volume. The customer's admin reconciles record counts (Contacts in, Custom Object records in), spot-checks a sample of migrated records against the bxp source, and validates that custom field values transferred correctly. Any mapping corrections are made at this stage. The customer signs off the sandbox migration before production cutover is scheduled.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Contact records first (with custom fields resolved), then Custom Object records (agent metrics, QA, eLearning) with Contact lookup references resolved. Activities (calls, tasks, events) are loaded last, linked to the parent Contact record. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use Freshsales REST API with batch processing and rate-limit handling throughout.

  6. Cutover, validation, and handoff

    We freeze bxp writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Freshsales as the system of record. We deliver the complete mapping document, the automation inventory (for Freshsales Workflows rebuild by the customer's admin), and the Custom Object schema documentation. We do not rebuild bxp Workflows or automations as Freshsales Workflows; that work is a separate engagement or an internal admin task. We offer a one-week post-migration support window to resolve data reconciliation issues.

Most bxp to Freshsales migrations land between three and six weeks for accounts with a single bespoke Form, under 5,000 Contacts, and no CDA/CCL archive exports. Migrations with multiple bespoke Forms, large CDA/CCL archive volumes, contact-centre activity histories, or Custom Object requirements for QA and eLearning records move to eight to fourteen weeks because of schema enumeration time, custom parsing, and Custom Object configuration in Freshsales.
