Overview
Contractor+ organizes contractor businesses around Jobs (the core record type), with Clients, Estimates, Invoices, and Team Members attached as sub-entities. Monday CRM's underlying data model is a flat board-and-item structure: Contacts and Organizations are CRM-native entity types, while Deals map to Items on Pipeline boards with stage-based Group columns. The structural mismatch is the core migration challenge — Contractor+ Jobs do not have a native Monday CRM equivalent, so they become Items on custom CRM boards, and the Job's status, budget, and schedule fields map to custom columns on those boards. FlitStack AI reads Contractor+ data via its API (or CSV export for accounts without API access), transforms Jobs into monday CRM Items, translates Estimate line items into monday CRM Quote objects, maps Invoice payment status to a custom payment column, and resolves Team Member owners by email match against monday CRM users. Automations, document templates, payment links, and the subcontractor portal feature — announced but delayed in Contractor+ V2 — have no equivalent in Monday CRM and must be rebuilt or reconfigured. FlitStack surfaces all non-migratable elements in a pre-migration audit report so your team knows exactly what requires manual rebuild before the full run.
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 Contractor+ object lands in monday CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Contractor+
Client
monday CRM
Contact + Organization
many:1Contractor+ Clients carry both individual contact details (name, email, phone) and business information (company name, address). FlitStack splits each Client into a monday CRM Contact (individual) and an Organization (company), linking them via the native Contact-to-Organization relationship. Clients without a company name land as Contacts only.
Contractor+
Job
monday CRM
Item (on CRM Board)
1:1Contractor+ Jobs have no direct CRM equivalent in Monday. FlitStack creates a CRM board in Monday and populates each Job as an Item, with the Job's status, budget, schedule dates, and client mapped to custom columns on the board. The Job's primary client becomes the Item's linked Contact.
Contractor+
Job Status
monday CRM
Group / Status Column
1:1Contractor+ job statuses (New, Scheduled, In Progress, Completed, etc.) map to monday CRM Status column values. Custom statuses require value-by-value mapping in the migration plan. FlitStack preserves the original status transition timestamps as a custom datetime column for reporting continuity.
Contractor+
Estimate
monday CRM
Quote
1:1Contractor+ Estimates contain line items with material costs, labor rates, optional add-ons, and tax calculations. Monday CRM's Quote module stores line items, discounts, and product/service categories. FlitStack maps each estimate line item to a Quote line item; material-cost and labor-cost fields are preserved as custom number columns since Monday Quotes lack a native cost-vs-price breakdown.
Contractor+
Invoice
monday CRM
Item Column (custom payment column)
1:1Contractor+ Invoices track payment status, amounts, and due dates. Monday CRM has no native invoice object beyond the basic Quote. FlitStack maps Invoice data to custom columns on the Job Item (Invoice Status, Amount Paid, Balance Due, Due Date) and preserves the full invoice record as a PDF attachment to the Item.
Contractor+
Team Member
monday CRM
Monday CRM User
1:1Contractor+ Team Members map directly to monday CRM users by email address match. Each Team Member's role (Admin, Technician, etc.) is preserved as a custom pick-list column on the CRM board so role visibility is retained after migration. This ensures consistent task assignment across all users.
Contractor+
Job Attachment / Photo
monday CRM
Monday CRM File (Item file column)
1:1Contractor+ job photos and attachments are re-uploaded to the corresponding monday CRM Item's file column. Monday CRM's 250MB file storage limit per account (Standard plan) or 5GB (Pro) is checked before migration; files exceeding limits are flagged for alternative storage (S3 bucket, SharePoint).
Contractor+
Job Site / Address
monday CRM
Location Column (Contact / Item)
1:1Contractor+ stores job site addresses and GPS coordinates on Jobs. FlitStack maps these to monday CRM's Location column (connected to Google Maps or Mapbox) on the Job Item and also populates the Contact's address fields for routing and follow-up purposes.
Contractor+
Client Portal notes / Feedback
monday CRM
Update / Activity column
1:1Contractor+ Client Portal feedback and comments have no native Monday CRM equivalent. FlitStack preserves this data as Item Updates with a custom 'Source: Client Portal' label so the client conversation history is not lost, even though it cannot be surfaced in the same client-facing way.
Contractor+
Custom Fields (Job / Estimate templates)
monday CRM
Custom Columns
1:1Contractor+ allows custom fields on Jobs and Estimates (e.g., permit number, insurance policy, work type). FlitStack creates matching custom columns in Monday CRM boards — text, number, date, or pick-list types set based on the source field's data type. Pro Team template fields that span multiple workspaces are consolidated into one board template with workspace-specific views.
Contractor+
Estimatic AI pricing
monday CRM
N/A (not migratable)
1:1Contractor+ Estimatic AI generates material pricing automatically using national average material cost databases. Monday CRM has no AI-assisted pricing engine. FlitStack exports the AI-generated line items as static values in the Quote; the AI pricing logic must be rebuilt using Monday's Formula column or an external pricing tool.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discover Contractor+ data model and design Monday CRM board structure
FlitStack connects to Contractor+ via API (or CSV export if API access is unavailable) and inventories all objects: Clients, Jobs, Estimates, Invoices, Team Members, and custom fields. We then design the Monday CRM board architecture — which boards hold which Job types, which Status column values map to Contractor+ job stages, and which custom columns are required. A board design document is delivered for your Monday admin to create before data transfer begins.
Map and validate all field-level translations with a sample migration
A representative slice of records (typically 50–100 Jobs, 50 Clients, 20 Estimates) migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff showing each source field's value, its Monday CRM target column, and any transformation applied. You verify estimate line-item mapping, status value mapping, team member owner resolution by email, and custom field column creation before the full run commits. This sample run also validates data integrity checks, such as duplicate detection and required field completeness, ensuring the migration script handles edge cases correctly.
Run the full migration with owner resolution and file re-upload
All Contractor+ Clients, Organizations, Jobs, Estimates, and Invoices transfer into Monday CRM. Team Members resolve by email match against Monday CRM users — any unmatched members are flagged for manual assignment before migration completes. File attachments are re-uploaded to Item file columns, with oversized files flagged for external storage. Monday CRM Quote records are created from Estimate data, and Invoice payment status populates custom columns on the corresponding Job Items.
Cut over with delta-pickup and pre-rebuild audit
A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any new Jobs, updated Estimates, or modified Invoices created in Contractor+ during cutover. FlitStack generates a non-migratable items report listing all automations, Estimatic AI pricing rules, Client Portal workflows, and document templates that must be rebuilt in Monday CRM. The audit log records every migration operation, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation identifies data integrity issues.
