Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Comarch Marketing Automation to Freshsales is a data-model simplification: Comarch's loyalty-first platform tracks members, tiers, AI-driven segments, and multichannel journey metadata across email, SMS, push, and call-center; Freshsales is a sales CRM centered on Contacts, Accounts, Deals, and Activity records with Freddy AI for lead scoring. We extract loyalty program structures and member profiles as structured contact records, routing tier information into Freshsales contact scoring groups or custom fields. Customer segments from Comarch's AI engine become Freshsales contact groups or dynamic lists. Promotional offer definitions and engagement KPIs migrate as custom fields or notes against the contact record. Comarch's automation journey logic does not export; we document every campaign trigger and branch as a written handoff for the customer to rebuild in Freshsales Freddy AI. Partner-managed Comarch deployments require partner coordination before extraction can begin.

Leaving

Comarch Marketing Automation

What's pushing teams away

  • Automation rules lack flexibility for cross-region customer journeys, requiring workarounds when managing loyalty programs that span multiple EU jurisdictions or business units.
  • Reporting dashboards offer limited deep customization for EU compliance exports and industry-specific KPIs, forcing teams to manually reconcile data for regulatory submissions.
  • Smaller German logistics and accounting tools lack native connectors, creating integration gaps that require extra development effort or third-party middleware.
  • The user interface is described as less modern compared to newer SaaS alternatives, and bulk actions require more steps than expected, slowing down marketing operations teams.
  • SMS deliverability to certain EU countries is inconsistent, which disrupts time-sensitive restock alerts and other transactional messaging for B2B customers.

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 Comarch Marketing Automation objects map to Freshsales

Each row shows how a Comarch Marketing Automation 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.

Comarch Marketing Automation

Loyalty Member / Contact Profile

maps to

Freshsales

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Comarch loyalty member profiles with name, email, phone, address, tier level, points balance, and enrollment date map directly to Freshsales Contact records. We extract member attributes as typed fields: tier level maps to a custom field or Freddy AI scoring group, points balance migrates as a numeric custom field, and enrollment timestamp migrates as a date field. Loyalty member ID from Comarch becomes a custom external ID field for dedupe and cross-reference.

Comarch Marketing Automation

Company / Organization

maps to

Freshsales

Account

1:1
Fully supported

Comarch deployments that store B2B loyalty program memberships under company records map to Freshsales Account. The company name, industry, and address fields map directly. If Comarch stores individual members without a company link, we optionally create Accounts from domain data or leave the AccountId blank, allowing the customer to link post-migration.

Comarch Marketing Automation

Customer Segment

maps to

Freshsales

Contact Group

1:many
Fully supported

Comarch AI-driven segments with membership lists map to Freshsales Contact Groups or dynamic contact lists. We export the segment name, definition logic (as a text note), and the member contact IDs. Segments are represented as static groups in Freshsales; the Comarch AI rule logic is documented as a text description for the customer's admin to recreate as a Freshsales dynamic list or Freddy AI filter.

Comarch Marketing Automation

Campaign / Customer Journey Metadata

maps to

Freshsales

Deal or Note

lossy
Fully supported

Comarch campaign records contain campaign name, channel assignments (email, SMS, push, call-center), send date ranges, and audience size. We export campaign metadata as Freshsales Deal records with a custom campaign type field, or as Notes attached to the relevant Contact records. The campaign journey workflow logic itself is proprietary and does not export; we document each campaign trigger, branch condition, and channel sequence in a written handoff for Freddy AI workflow rebuild.

Comarch Marketing Automation

Promotional Offer

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Field or Note

lossy
Fully supported

Comarch promotional offers with discount rules, eligibility criteria, and temporal constraints are exported as structured records. We map offer name, discount type, validity period, and eligibility requirements to Freshsales Contact custom fields or to a Note attached to the contact record. Complex promotional structures with conditional rules are documented as a written offer catalog for the customer to rebuild in Freshsales Freddy AI workflows.

Comarch Marketing Automation

Engagement KPI (Churn, CLV, NPS, Engagement Index)

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Field on Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Comarch KPI records including churn prediction score, customer lifetime value, NPS, and engagement index are exported as numeric records tied to member IDs. We map these to Freshsales Contact custom fields with the original Comarch KPI name preserved in the field label (e.g., kpi_churn_score__c, kpi_clv__c, kpi_nps__c). Historical KPI values migrate as field data; real-time AI predictions are noted as runtime-only and not migrated.

Comarch Marketing Automation

Channel Configuration (Email, SMS, Push, Call-Center)

maps to

Freshsales

Freshsales Channel Settings

1:1
Fully supported

Comarch channel configurations are metadata references to email, SMS, push, and call-center integrations. We export channel type and configuration status as lookup records. These map to Freshsales built-in email and phone tools (no migration of channel credentials required), and to a documented list of external channel references for SMS and push providers that the customer reconfigures post-migration.

Comarch Marketing Automation

Loyalty Program Tier Structure

maps to

Freshsales

Freddy AI Scoring Group or Custom Field

lossy
Fully supported

Comarch loyalty programs include tier structures (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum) with earning and redemption rules. We extract the tier names and threshold values and map them to Freshsales custom picklist fields on Contact. Tier-specific earning rules are documented as a written program summary for the customer to implement in Freshsales Freddy AI if automated tier recalculation is required.

Comarch Marketing Automation

Custom Properties / Extended Fields

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Fields on Contact or Account

1:1
Mapping required

Enterprise Comarch deployments frequently extend the data model with custom fields for industry-specific loyalty attributes. We extract all custom property definitions and map them to Freshsales custom fields on the appropriate object (Contact for member-level attributes, Account for company-level attributes). Field type mapping follows Freshsales supported types: text, number, date, picklist, multi-select picklist, phone, URL, and currency.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Partner-managed Comarch deployments require partner coordination before extraction

    Enterprise Comarch deployments are frequently administered by certified partners who act as intermediaries for data access and configuration. Direct API access or bulk export may require partner authorization before FlitStack AI can begin extraction. We identify whether a partner-administered deployment is in scope during discovery and establish partner contact as a prerequisite before migration planning begins. Without partner coordination, extraction may be limited to manual report downloads, which increases migration timeline and cost.

  • Automation journey logic and workflow definitions do not export from Comarch

    Comarch stores customer journey and campaign workflow definitions in a proprietary format not exposed via standard APIs. While we extract campaign metadata, audience records, and send histories, the automation logic including triggers, conditions, delays, and branching rules must be manually rebuilt in Freshsales Freddy AI. We scope and document every Comarch journey and automation rule during discovery so the customer has a complete rebuild checklist before cutover.

  • Loyalty tier and points structures require custom field mapping in Freshsales

    Comarch loyalty programs frequently include custom tier logic, partner-specific earning rules, and time-limited promotional structures that do not map 1:1 to Freshsales standard fields. Freshsales does not have a native loyalty points or tier object; tier information must be stored as custom fields on Contact, and automated tier recalculation requires a Freshsales Freddy AI workflow rebuild. We review loyalty program configurations with the customer during discovery, map all non-standard rules to custom field equivalents, and flag any rule types that cannot be represented in Freshsales without workflow rebuild.

  • Comarch API rate limits are not publicly documented and require per-customer confirmation

    Comarch does not publish standard API rate limits for its marketing automation module in public documentation. API access is negotiated per customer, particularly for enterprise deployments. We confirm API quota allocations with the customer's Comarch account team or partner before setting extraction throughput, and we throttle requests conservatively to avoid triggering account-level throttling. This adds a discovery step not present in migrations from platforms with documented API limits.

  • Data Import and Export Tools is tier-dependent in Comarch

    G2 product listings identify Data Import and Export Tools as a feature within Comarch's enterprise tier. Customers on lower tiers may not have programmatic bulk export access and may rely on partner-assisted extraction or manual report downloads. We verify the customer's Comarch tier during scoping and adjust the extraction strategy accordingly. Lower-tier customers may see increased migration timelines and costs due to manual export processes.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Comarch Marketing Automation to Freshsales data migration

  1. Discovery and tier verification

    We audit the Comarch Marketing Automation deployment across tier (SMB/Mid-Market/Enterprise), loyalty program count, segment definitions, campaign volume, promotional offer catalog, engagement KPI records, and custom field inventory. We confirm whether the deployment is partner-administered and establish partner contact if required. On the Freshsales side, we verify the destination plan (Free/Growth/Pro/Enterprise) and confirm which custom field types and custom modules are available. The discovery output is a written migration scope and a destination Freshsales plan recommendation if upgrade is warranted.

  2. Schema design and custom field provisioning

    We design the Freshsales schema to receive Comarch loyalty data. This includes creating custom fields on Contact for tier level, points balance, enrollment date, engagement scores (churn, CLV, NPS), and any Comarch custom properties. If the customer has Enterprise Freshsales, we create custom modules for loyalty program definitions or promotional offer catalogs. We deploy the schema into the customer's Freshsales sandbox for validation before production migration begins.

  3. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into the Freshsales sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer's RevOps or marketing ops lead reconciles record counts (contacts in, segments in, offers in, KPIs in), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the Comarch source, and validates custom field mappings. Any corrections to field type mapping, segment logic, or loyalty rule representation happen here, not in production.

  4. Extraction and transformation

    We extract Comarch data through the available export method (API for enterprise tiers, partner-assisted extraction for lower tiers, or manual report downloads if API access is unavailable). We transform loyalty member records into Freshsales Contact format, loyalty tier data into custom fields or Freddy AI scoring groups, segments into Contact Groups, campaign metadata into Deals or Notes, and KPI records into custom numeric fields. We flag any records that fail transformation for manual review before production import.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record order: Contact custom fields and picklists deployed first, then Contacts (with external ID for dedupe), then Account links resolved, then Contact Groups populated from Comarch segment membership, then KPI custom fields updated per contact, then campaign metadata as Notes or Deals. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use Freshsales REST API with batch chunking and exponential backoff on rate-limit responses.

  6. Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff

    We freeze Comarch 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 automation journey inventory document to the customer's admin team with every Comarch campaign trigger, branch condition, and channel sequence documented for Freddy AI rebuild. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Comarch journey logic as Freshsales Freddy AI workflows inside the migration scope; that is documented separately for the customer's admin team.
