Overview

What this migration involves

ConSol CM is an ISO 27001-certified platform combining IT service management, construction management, and CRM functions — its data model centers on tickets, service requests, assets, contacts, companies, and multi-step workflows built for case management and compliance tracking. Pipedrive is a sales CRM organized around four core objects: People (contacts), Organizations (companies), Deals (pipeline opportunities), and Activities (tasks, calls, meetings, notes). There is no concept of custom objects in Pipedrive — only custom fields attached to those four entities. FlitStack AI migrates all contacts, companies, deal records, and activity history from ConSol into Pipedrive's corresponding objects, using ConSol's API export endpoint to pull structured data and re-hosting any file attachments. Service-level agreements, SLA timers, and SLA breaches recorded in ConSol have no native Pipedrive equivalent — these are surfaced as custom fields for reference. Workflows, automations, service-level rules, and escalation matrices built in ConSol do not transfer and must be redesigned in Pipedrive's automation engine (available on Advanced plans and above) after migration. FlitStack sequences the migration so foreign-key relationships resolve correctly: organizations first, then people linked to them, then deals associated with both, followed by activities and notes.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

ConSol

What's pushing teams away

  • Limited integration with external CRM systems noted as a frustration in G2 reviews, with users unable to connect ConSol CM to their primary customer platforms.
  • Complex feature set and steep learning curve reported in G2 feedback, with users feeling overwhelmed by information density during onboarding.
  • Perpetual licensing and enterprise pricing structure makes the platform costly for smaller organizations evaluating alternatives.
  • Vendor lock-in concerns with proprietary German-developed platform motivating organizations to evaluate international alternatives with broader ecosystem support.

What's pulling them in

  • Clean drag-and-drop pipeline interface with minimal learning curve, making it approachable for small sales teams without dedicated CRM admins.
  • Visual deal tracking keeps reps focused on next actions — activities, calls, and follow-up tasks surface directly in the pipeline view.
  • Strong integrations via Zapier and native marketplace apps let teams wire Pipedrive into Calendly, ActiveCampaign, and similar sales-stack tools.
  • Mobile apps for iOS and Android keep field reps connected to deals, contacts, and tasks without a desktop session.
  • Reputation and review volume — over 3,000 verified reviews across G2 and Capterra — signal reliability for teams evaluating CRM options.

Object mapping

How ConSol objects map to Pipedrive

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

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

ConSol

Contact / Person

maps to

Pipedrive

Person

1:1
Fully supported

ConSol contact records map 1:1 to Pipedrive Person records. Standard fields including name, email, phone, job title, address, and owner are transferred directly. For ConSol contacts linked to multiple companies, the primary organization maps to the main Organization field, and any secondary organizations use Pipedrive's secondary organization link to maintain the association without data duplication.

ConSol

Company / Organization

maps to

Pipedrive

Organization

1:1
Fully supported

ConSol company records map to Pipedrive Organization objects. Core fields including company name, domain, industry, employee count, and address information transfer directly. Parent-company hierarchies in ConSol map to Pipedrive's Organization hierarchy where the structure is supported, or are flagged for manual configuration post-migration to ensure proper organizational relationships are maintained in the target system.

ConSol

Ticket / Service Request

maps to

Pipedrive

Activity (Note or Deal)

1:1
Fully supported

ConSol tickets and service requests are not Pipedrive Deals — they are activity logs. We convert them to Pipedrive Notes attached to the related Person or Organization, preserving the original request description, status, and timestamps. If the ticket represents a billable service engagement, it may map to a Deal depending on your ConSol usage pattern.

ConSol

Deal / Opportunity

maps to

Pipedrive

Deal

1:1
Fully supported

ConSol deal records (if your ConSol configuration includes a sales CRM module) map directly to Pipedrive Deals. Deal name, value, stage, expected close date, owner, and pipeline association transfer. Pipeline stages in ConSol map to Pipedrive stage values within your target pipeline.

ConSol

Activity / Engagement Log

maps to

Pipedrive

Activity

1:1
Fully supported

ConSol engagement logs (calls, emails, meetings, tasks) map to Pipedrive Activities with the original timestamp, owner, and type preserved. Activity type (call, email, meeting) is set as the Pipedrive Activity type field so filters and dashboards reflect the original interaction category.

ConSol

Note / Document

maps to

Pipedrive

Note

1:1
Fully supported

ConSol notes and document attachments link to the corresponding Person, Organization, or Deal record in Pipedrive. Rich-text formatting is preserved as-is during transfer. Inline images embedded in ConSol notes are extracted, downloaded, and re-uploaded as Pipedrive file attachments linked to the parent record, maintaining visual context within the migrated data.

ConSol

SLA / Service Level Metric

maps to

Pipedrive

Custom Field on Person / Deal

1:1
Fully supported

ConSol SLA response times, resolution times, breach flags, and escalation status have no Pipedrive equivalent. These migrate as custom fields (e.g., SLA_Response_Date__c, SLA_Breach__c, SLA_Escalation_Level__c) on the relevant Pipedrive record. Pipedrive will not enforce or recalculate these values — they serve as reference data for reporting.

ConSol

Project / Asset

maps to

Pipedrive

Custom Field on Organization / Deal

1:1
Fully supported

ConSol projects and assets do not map to a Pipedrive object. We migrate project names, asset IDs, and key project status fields as custom fields on the related Organization or Deal record. Deep project hierarchies require post-migration review and manual structuring in Pipedrive.

ConSol

Custom Property / Extended Field

maps to

Pipedrive

Custom Field

1:1
Fully supported

ConSol custom fields on contacts, companies, or deals that do not match Pipedrive's default field set require a corresponding Pipedrive custom field to be created before migration. FlitStack AI delivers a custom field creation plan specifying field name, type (text, number, date, picklist, etc.), and which Pipedrive object each field belongs to.

ConSol

User / Agent / Owner

maps to

Pipedrive

User

1:1
Fully supported

ConSol users, agents, and technicians are resolved to Pipedrive users by email address match. ConSol owner IDs that have no matching Pipedrive user email are flagged before migration — teams must provision Pipedrive accounts for those users or assign a fallback owner before the migration run. No record migrates without a valid Pipedrive owner.

ConSol

Workflow / Automation / Escalation Rule

maps to

Pipedrive

N/A

1:1
Fully supported

ConSol workflows, escalation matrices, SLA rules, and multi-step case automations have no equivalent in Pipedrive's automation engine. We export ConSol workflow definitions as a structured reference document so your Pipedrive admin can rebuild equivalent automations in Pipedrive's workflow builder after migration.

ConSol

Attachment / File

maps to

Pipedrive

File

1:1
Fully supported

ConSol file attachments linked to contacts, companies, or tickets are re-uploaded to Pipedrive as Files attached to the corresponding Person, Organization, or Deal. File size limits per Pipedrive plan apply (Pipedrive Essential: 5GB/user, Advanced: 10GB/user). ConSol version history is not transferred — the latest version of each file migrates.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Pipedrive has no custom objects — ConSol extended entities become custom fields on four objects

    Pipedrive's data model is intentionally limited to four core objects: Person, Organization, Deal, and Activity. It does not support custom object creation. Any ConSol custom objects — such as asset registers, project records, or extended entity types beyond contacts and companies — cannot be migrated as standalone objects. FlitStack AI evaluates each ConSol custom entity and maps its key fields to Pipedrive custom fields attached to the most relevant standard object. Deeper hierarchical data may require post-migration manual structuring or a separate reference document for ongoing data stewardship.

  • ConSol SLA and service-level metrics have no enforcement mechanism in Pipedrive

    ConSol's SLA tracking captures response deadlines, resolution timers, breach status, and escalation events tied to every service ticket and request. Pipedrive has no native SLA object and no automated enforcement of service-level windows. When migrating from ConSol to Pipedrive, SLA fields (response due, breach flag, escalation tier) transfer as read-only custom fields on Pipedrive Deals or Persons. Pipedrive will not recalculate SLA status or trigger escalation workflows — those must be rebuilt in Pipedrive's automation engine if service commitments are a sales or delivery obligation in your workflow.

  • ConSol multi-entity and project hierarchies require manual post-migration review

    ConSol supports hierarchical structures for organizations, assets, and projects that do not map directly to Pipedrive's flat Organization or Deal model. ConSol parent-company links translate to Pipedrive's parent_org_id field, but multi-level project hierarchies and asset trees need manual reconstruction after migration. FlitStack AI surfaces the full hierarchy as a structured reference export so Pipedrive admins can recreate the structural relationships using Pipedrive's organization hierarchy and custom fields rather than a true hierarchical object model.

  • ConSol file attachments re-upload to Pipedrive without version history

    ConSol's document management layer may store multiple versions of a file with version history, author, and timestamp metadata. Pipedrive's file attachment model attaches files to records as static objects without versioning. When migrating attachments from ConSol, FlitStack AI downloads the latest version of each file and re-uploads it to the corresponding Pipedrive Person, Organization, or Deal record. The original version author and upload timestamp are preserved as Pipedrive file metadata, but prior versions and version history chains do not transfer.

  • Pipedrive API rate limiting requires throttled migration writes

    Pipedrive enforces token-based rate limits on API writes that vary by plan tier. Migration tools that write at high throughput will encounter 429 Too Many Requests responses if not properly throttled. FlitStack AI paces migration writes to respect Pipedrive's per-token rate limits by plan level, using retry logic with exponential backoff to ensure all records complete without triggering temporary API blocks. This adds modest time to large migrations but prevents partial write failures that would require reconciliation.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful ConSol to Pipedrive data migration

  1. Pre-migration data audit and schema planning

    FlitStack AI connects to your ConSol instance via API to inventory all record types: persons, organizations, deals, activities, notes, and attachments. We count records by type, identify custom fields and extended properties, assess attachment volume, and map ConSol's SLA and service-level fields. The output is a migration plan specifying which Pipedrive custom fields to create, which ConSol entities map to which Pipedrive objects, and any records that require manual decision-making before migration (e.g., multi-company contacts, unmatched owners).

  2. Owner and user resolution

    Before migration data moves, FlitStack AI resolves ConSol owner IDs and agent IDs to Pipedrive user accounts by email address match. Any ConSol user with no corresponding Pipedrive account is flagged in the pre-migration report. Your team either provisions Pipedrive accounts for those users or designates a fallback owner before the migration run. No record migrates into Pipedrive without a valid owner assignment — this prevents orphaned records that would be invisible to your team.

  3. Create Pipedrive custom fields and configure pipelines

    Based on the schema plan, FlitStack AI creates all required Pipedrive custom fields (e.g., SLA_Response_Date, SLA_Breach, Source_System_ID, SLA_Escalation_Level) on Person, Organization, and Deal objects before the migration run begins. We also configure the Pipedrive pipeline and stage names to align with your ConSol deal stages and service categories, ensuring that stage values map cleanly during import rather than requiring post-migration data correction. Any picklist or dropdown fields in ConSol are recreated as Pipedrive picklist custom fields with matching options to preserve data integrity and enable consistent reporting.

  4. Run sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice of records — typically 100–500 spanning persons, organizations, deals, and activities — migrates first into your live Pipedrive account. FlitStack AI generates a field-level diff comparing the source ConSol values against the destination Pipedrive values for every mapped field. You review the diff to verify SLA field mapping, person-organization linkage, deal stage values, and owner resolution before the full migration commits. Sample migration typically completes within a few hours.

  5. Full migration with delta-pickup cutover

    The full record set migrates into Pipedrive, sequenced correctly: organizations first (since persons depend on them), then persons linked to organizations, then deals with their person and organization associations, then activities and notes attached to the correct records. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any ConSol records created or modified during the cutover period. All migration operations are logged in an audit trail, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation reveals data integrity issues requiring a restart.
