Overview
Contractor+ stores client records, job assignments, and estimates in a single object graph designed for solo and small contracting firms. Odoo CRM distributes that same data across its crm.lead, res.partner, and sale.order models, with custom fields capturing contractor-specific attributes that have no native Odoo equivalent. We extract Contractor+ contacts, companies, jobs, and estimates via API export or CSV, then map each field to the correct Odoo model — splitting multi-field records where Odoo's schema requires it, preserving original create and modified timestamps, and carrying over trade, license, and insurance data as custom fields on res.partner. Workflow automations, client portal settings, and payment integrations do not migrate and must be rebuilt in Odoo. The migration runs on a scoped-read connection to Contractor+ with zero downtime, followed by a delta-pickup window capturing in-flight changes during the cutover. Our sample-first approach validates stage mapping, custom field population, and owner resolution before the full run commits.
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 Odoo 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 / Contact
Odoo CRM
res.partner
1:1Contractor+ client and contact records map to Odoo res.partner — the central contact and company model. Name, email, phone, address, and company fields transfer directly. Contractor+ trade, license, and insurance fields create custom property fields on res.partner so Odoo users see contractor context without a separate screen.
Contractor+
Client (with company)
Odoo CRM
res.partner (company_type = 'company')
1:1When Contractor+ stores a business name on a client record, Odoo res.partner is created with company_type = 'company'. Individual contractor contacts are created as child partners linked via partner_latitude / child_ids so both the firm and the primary contact exist in one record hierarchy.
Contractor+
Job
Odoo CRM
crm.lead (as Opportunity)
1:1Contractor+ Job records map to Odoo crm.lead in stage = 'opportunity'. The job name becomes the opportunity name, job status maps to Odoo crm.stage via a value-map, and the assigned technician email resolves to an Odoo res_users record by email match.
Contractor+
Job Stage
Odoo CRM
crm.stage
1:1Contractor+ job stages (New, In Progress, Completed, On Hold, Cancelled) map value-by-value to Odoo crm.stage records. The Odoo team owning the pipeline determines which stage IDs receive which Contractor+ status. We preserve original stage-entry dates as stage_date custom fields on the opportunity.
Contractor+
Estimate
Odoo CRM
sale.order
1:1Contractor+ Estimates convert to Odoo sale.order in quotation state. Line items become sale.order.line records with product, description, quantity, and price_unit. Tax IDs on Contractor+ estimates map to Odoo account.tax records by value lookup. Estimate acceptance / decline status becomes sale.order state (draft → sent → sale).
Contractor+
Contractor+ Tier Flag
Odoo CRM
Custom field on res.partner
1:1Contractor+ subscription tier (Freedom / Pro / Pro Team) has no Odoo native equivalent. We preserve it as a partner property field (x_contractor_tier) so sales reps know which tier the source account held at migration time. Tier-specific feature access is rebuilt through Odoo group assignments.
Contractor+
Call / Meeting activity
Odoo CRM
crm.phonecall / calendar.event
1:1Contractor+ logged calls and scheduled meetings map to Odoo crm.phonecall (if CRM phone module is active) or calendar.event. Original timestamps, duration, and technician owner are preserved so the Odoo activity kanban reflects the full Contractor+ engagement history.
Contractor+
Notes
Odoo CRM
crm.note / mail.message
1:1Contractor+ notes attached to client or job records migrate as Odoo crm.note records linked to the corresponding res.partner or crm.lead via res_model + res_id. Rich-text formatting is preserved where Contractor+ exports it as HTML, including bold, italic, lists, and hyperlinks. Plain-text notes convert without transformation. Attachments referenced within note bodies are extracted and stored separately as ir.attachment records linked to the parent object.
Contractor+
Attachments / Files
Odoo CRM
ir.attachment
1:1Files attached to Contractor+ client or job records are re-uploaded to Odoo ir.attachment linked to the corresponding res.partner or crm.lead. File name, mimetype, create date, and author information are preserved during migration. Large files exceeding Odoo's configured file size limits are chunked into smaller segments for upload and reassembled in Odoo, with integrity verified via checksum comparison.
Contractor+
Client Portal Access
Odoo CRM
No equivalent in Odoo CRM
1:1Contractor+ client portal access and portal permissions have no direct Odoo equivalent without the Portal module and portal user creation. Client portal state is logged as a boolean custom field (x_has_portal_access) so admins can decide whether to provision Odoo portal access per client after migration. The original portal invitation date and last-login timestamp are stored as additional custom fields (x_portal_invite_date, x_portal_last_login) if available from the Contractor+ export, enabling consistent re-provisioning of portal access in Odoo.
Contractor+
Automations / Workflows
Odoo CRM
Not migratable
1:1Contractor+ automation rules (auto-follow-up, job-stage triggers, notification workflows) cannot be exported in standard data format. We document every active automation as a rebuild reference guide keyed to Odoo automated actions and server actions so your Odoo admin can reconstruct them. The rebuild guide captures trigger events, condition logic, action sequences, and execution frequency. For complex automations involving time delays or branching conditions, we include annotated Odoo Studio workflow diagrams as part of the post-migration handoff package.
Contractor+
Payments / Invoices
Odoo CRM
account.move
1:1Contractor+ invoice records with payment status map to Odoo account.move in the sale journal. Invoice line items become account.move.line records. Payment state (paid / unpaid / partial) maps to Odoo's reconciliation state via account.payment records linked to the move.

Migration approach
Extract Contractor+ data via scoped read access
FlitStack connects to Contractor+ using scoped read-only API credentials or CSV export. We pull all clients, contacts, jobs, estimates, invoices, call logs, and notes. File attachments are downloaded to a staging store. We flag any records with missing required fields (no email, no name) for your team to clean or suppress before mapping begins. The Contractor+ account remains fully operational during this phase — no data is modified at the source.
Design Odoo custom fields and pipeline stages
Before any data loads, we create the x_trade, x_license_number, x_insurance_provider, x_insurance_expiry, x_crew_size, x_contractor_tier, x_scheduled_date, x_original_create_date, x_source_contractor_id, and x_source_job_id fields on res.partner and crm.lead. We configure crm_stage records matching your Contractor+ job statuses and assign them to the Odoo sales team. Odoo Community requires developer mode to create fields; Odoo Enterprise uses Odoo Studio. We deliver a field creation checklist so your admin can complete this step independently if preferred.
Build field mapping, transform estimate line items, resolve owners
We build a field-level mapping document covering every Contractor+ field against its Odoo destination. Estimate line items are parsed and matched against the Odoo product catalog by name; unmatched lines are flagged for product creation or kept as description-only order lines. Contractor+ assigned technician emails are resolved against Odoo res_users by email match. Any Contractor+ owner without an Odoo user account is flagged with a fallback owner assignment rule for your admin to resolve before the migration run.
Run sample migration and generate field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 100–300 records spanning clients, jobs, estimates, and activities — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against destination field values so you can verify that trade fields, license numbers, stage mappings, and owner resolution are correct before the full run. Any mapping adjustments are made at this stage and the sample is re-run until the diff passes your sign-off criteria.
Execute full migration with delta pickup window
The full dataset migrates in batched API writes with retry logic for rate-limit responses. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours runs after the initial load, capturing any records created or modified in Contractor+ during the cutover. All operations are logged to an audit table. If reconciliation finds discrepancies, one-click rollback reverts the Odoo database to its pre-migration state. After delta pickup, we deliver a reconciliation report showing record counts by object, any records that failed to migrate, and the action taken for each.
