Overview

What this migration involves

CRUMP CRM is a verticalised layer on Microsoft Dynamics 365, so data access runs through the Dynamics 365 web API and OData endpoint rather than a CRUMP-specific REST API. The first step in any migration is auditing the source org's Dynamics 365 license tier because lower-tier licenses restrict which entities are visible via the API and may enforce per-user call limits. We connect directly to the Dynamics 365 instance, enumerate active entities, then pull Contacts, Accounts, Deals, Projects, and Tickets in dependency order. Custom objects added on top of Dynamics 365 are enumerated individually because no two deployments share the same schema. We do not migrate Workflows, automations, or invoicing configurations; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild. Attachments stored as Dynamics 365 notes or SharePoint-linked blobs require a separate file-level export pass and are flagged as out-of-scope unless a dedicated file migration is scoped separately.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

CRUMP CRM logo

CRUMP CRM

What's pushing teams away

  • Steep licensing cost at $75 per user per month compounds quickly for teams beyond 20 seats, making the all-in-one pitch expensive at scale.
  • Built on Dynamics 365, which introduces Microsoft enterprise complexity — licensing tiers, CAL requirements, and admin overhead — that many SMB teams did not anticipate.
  • Being a niche vertical CRM, the community, third-party integrations, and migration tooling are far thinner than mainstream platforms like HubSpot or Salesforce.
  • Lack of transparent tiered feature differentiation on the website makes it unclear what each paid tier unlocks, leading to sticker shock when upgrading.
  • Smaller vendor footprint means fewer third-party connectors, forcing teams into custom API work for common integrations.

Choosing

Salesforce Sales Cloud logo

Salesforce Sales Cloud

What's pulling them in

  • The AppExchange marketplace with 5,000+ prebuilt apps gives enterprises integrations for nearly every business workflow without custom development.
  • Native Einstein AI for lead scoring, opportunity insights, and predictive forecasting adds intelligence without a separate platform purchase.
  • Territory management, multi-currency support, and advanced forecasting satisfy the needs of complex B2B sales organizations with structured revenue teams.
  • Slack, Tableau, and CPQ are deeply integrated into the core platform, keeping the sales stack unified for teams already in the Salesforce ecosystem.
  • Organizations with a large, established Salesforce implementation choose it because switching costs — integrations, custom code, trained admins — are prohibitive.

Object mapping

How CRUMP CRM objects map to Salesforce Sales Cloud

Each row shows how a CRUMP CRM object lands in Salesforce Sales Cloud, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

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

CRUMP CRM

Contact

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Lead or Contact (split required)

1:many
Fully supported

Contacts from the Dynamics 365 CRM module map to Salesforce Lead if the contact is an unqualified prospect or to Salesforce Contact if the contact is associated with an Account. We apply the split based on the source contact's statecode, ownerid relationship, and any custom Dynamics 365 fields indicating qualification status. The original CRUMP CRM contact record ID is preserved in a custom field crump_contact_id__c on both Lead and Contact for audit and cross-reference.

CRUMP CRM

Account (Company)

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Account

1:1
Fully supported

Dynamics 365 Accounts map directly to Salesforce Account. The accountid from Dynamics 365 becomes the dedupe key during import. Parent-account hierarchy migrates via the ParentId field on Account. Account is created before any Contact import so that the AccountId lookup is satisfied at the moment of Contact insert.

CRUMP CRM

Deal (Opportunity)

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

CRUMP CRM Deals correspond to Dynamics 365 Opportunities. Deal name, estimatedvalue, closeprobability, and actualclosedate migrate to Opportunity Name, Amount, Probability, and CloseDate. The Dynamics 365 pipeline stage (stageid and stagename) maps to Salesforce StageName, which we configure as a Sales Process before migration. Closed-won and closed-lost reasons from Dynamics 365 custom fields become Salesforce Loss Reason and Win Reason picklist values.

CRUMP CRM

Project

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Custom Object (Project__c)

1:1
Fully supported

CRUMP CRM Projects live in the Project Management module, a distinct Dynamics 365 entity type from CRM Deals. We export project records including project name, status, start and end dates, and assigned team members as a Salesforce custom object named Project__c. Task-level detail within projects may not be fully representable in a standard Salesforce deployment and is documented separately as a Phase 2 custom object or PSA (Product Scheduling Automation) integration scope.

CRUMP CRM

Ticket (Case)

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Case

1:1
Fully supported

Helpdesk tickets in CRUMP CRM are Cases in Dynamics 365 and migrate to Salesforce Case if the destination org includes Service Cloud or if the customer configures Case as a standard object. Ticket title, status, priority, description, and the linked contact's customerid migrate to Case Subject, Status, Priority, Description, and ContactId. Custom fields attached to tickets require explicit enumeration during the audit phase and are created as custom Case fields before import.

CRUMP CRM

Invoice

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Order (with OrderProducts)

1:1
Fully supported

Invoicing records from the bundled suite export with line items, totals, and payment status. CRUMP CRM invoices link back to the originating Deal (Opportunity) in Dynamics 365; we reconstruct this relationship by matching the originating opportunityid on the invoice to the migrated Opportunity. Invoices become Salesforce Order records. If the customer does not use Salesforce Order Management, we deliver invoices as a structured CSV alongside the migration with a reference map for manual entry.

CRUMP CRM

Task (CRM tasks, project tasks, helpdesk tasks)

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Task

1:1
Fully supported

CRUMP CRM stores tasks across multiple modules: CRM tasks, project tasks, and helpdesk tasks. We deduplicate and label each task by its origin module using a custom field crump_module__c so the destination team can categorise or filter them. Task subject, status, priority, activitydate, and ownerid migrate directly. The original Dynamics 365 activityid is preserved in crump_activity_id__c for reconciliation.

CRUMP CRM

Engagement: Email

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

EmailMessage + Task

1:1
Fully supported

Email history from Dynamics 365 CRM activities migrates to Salesforce EmailMessage records linked to an Activity Task record. The WhoId on Task points to the migrated Lead or Contact; WhatId points to the related Opportunity or Account. Email body and timestamp preserve. We use the Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 for large email histories because standard CSV import does not support the EmailMessage object.

CRUMP CRM

Engagement: Meeting

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Event

1:1
Fully supported

Meeting records from Dynamics 365 activities migrate to Salesforce Event with StartDateTime, EndDateTime, Subject, and Location preserved. Attendee mapping links to EventRelation records pointing at the migrated Leads, Contacts, and Users. We resolve attendee email addresses against the migrated User and Contact tables during the transform phase.

CRUMP CRM

Engagement: Call

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Task (TaskSubtype = Call)

1:1
Fully supported

Call activity records from Dynamics 365 CRM migrate to Salesforce Task with TaskSubtype = Call. Call disposition, duration, and any recording URL stored in Dynamics 365 custom fields migrate to custom Task fields. Activity ordering is preserved by setting ActivityDate to the original Dynamics 365 timestamp.

CRUMP CRM

Engagement: Note

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Note

1:1
Fully supported

Notes from Dynamics 365 CRM migrate to Salesforce Note records linked via ContentDocumentLink to the parent record (Lead, Contact, Account, or Opportunity). Note body migrates as plain text. Any note attachments (which are separate blob records in Dynamics 365) are flagged separately for the file-level export pass.

CRUMP CRM

User (Team Member)

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

User

1:1
Fully supported

CRUMP CRM user accounts and their Dynamics 365 security role assignments require explicit mapping. We resolve users by email match against the Salesforce destination org's User table. Inactive users in CRUMP CRM are archived rather than imported to avoid ghost records. Any CRUMP CRM user without a matching Salesforce User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes.

CRUMP CRM

Attachment

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

ContentVersion + ContentDocumentLink

lossy
Fully supported

Attachments stored as Dynamics 365 notes or SharePoint-linked document locations require a separate file-level export pass and cannot be migrated through the standard API layer without explicit SharePoint access credentials. We flag this as a separate file migration scope and do not include binary blob migration inside the standard API migration pass. If the customer uses Dynamics 365's notes with attachments, we enumerate every note with an attachment and provide a file inventory with record linkage for manual re-attachment or a scoped file migration engagement.

CRUMP CRM

Custom Entity (Dynamics 365)

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Custom Object

1:1
Fully supported

Custom entities created on top of the Dynamics 365 instance are enumerated during the audit phase. Each custom entity and its fields are documented individually because no two Dynamics 365 deployments share the same custom schema. We pre-create the equivalent Salesforce custom objects with matching field types, lookup relationships, and validation rules in a Sandbox before any data import. The destination API name follows Salesforce __c convention and is matched to the source entity's logical name where possible.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Dynamics 365 license tier gates API access

    CRUMP CRM runs on Microsoft Dynamics 365 and API availability is governed by the license assigned to the source org. Lower-tier Dynamics 365 licenses may restrict which entities are accessible via the web API, enforce per-user API call limits, or block access to custom entities entirely. We audit the source org's license type during scoping and enumerate every entity visible under the current credentials before the migration plan is finalised. If restricted entities are critical to the migration scope, the customer must upgrade the Dynamics 365 license or provision partner-level access before we can proceed.

  • No public API endpoint requires direct Dynamics 365 credentials

    Unlike Salesforce, CRUMP CRM does not publish a public REST API reference or developer portal. Migration relies on accessing the underlying Dynamics 365 instance directly, which requires credentials with sufficient privileges on the Dynamics 365 org. We obtain Dynamics 365 admin credentials or a service account with read permissions on the relevant entities as part of the onboarding checklist. Without these credentials, the migration cannot proceed beyond the audit phase.

  • Custom Dynamics 365 entities lack a standard mapping

    CRUMP CRM's custom entities (created on top of Dynamics 365) have no standard Salesforce equivalent and no two Dynamics 365 deployments share the same custom schema. Each custom entity and its fields must be enumerated, typed, and mapped individually during the audit phase. This adds scope to the discovery and planning steps that does not exist when migrating between platforms with documented API references like HubSpot or Salesforce. We include custom entity enumeration in the standard migration scope but flag it as a variable-duration task depending on entity count.

  • Attachment and SharePoint blob migration requires separate scope

    Attachments stored in Dynamics 365 notes or SharePoint-linked document locations cannot be migrated through the standard API layer without explicit SharePoint access and a file-level export pass. CRUMP CRM bundles SharePoint-style document storage as part of its all-in-one suite, but binary blob export is out of scope for the standard API migration. We deliver a written inventory of every Dynamics 365 note with an attachment, the parent record it is linked to, and the file name, so the customer's admin can re-attach files manually or scope a separate file migration engagement.

  • Pipeline stage names require manual reconfiguration in Salesforce

    CRUMP CRM pipeline stages are defined within the Dynamics 365 CRM module and have no direct Salesforce equivalent. We export stage names, probabilities, and ordering from Dynamics 365, but each stage must be recreated as a StageName value within a Salesforce Sales Process configured for the destination org. Stage probability percentages require rounding to Salesforce-allowed integer values. If the customer has multiple pipelines in CRUMP CRM, each becomes a Salesforce Record Type with its own Sales Process and stage whitelist.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful CRUMP CRM to Salesforce Sales Cloud data migration

  1. Dynamics 365 credential and license audit

    We collect Dynamics 365 admin credentials or a service account with read permissions on the source org. We enumerate the license tier assigned to the source org and identify which entities are accessible via the web API under the current credentials. We produce a written entity inventory listing every CRM entity visible to the migration account, its record count, and any entities that are inaccessible due to license restrictions. This inventory is the gating artifact for the migration plan; if critical entities are blocked, the customer must resolve the license or access restriction before scoping continues.

  2. Data inventory and deduplication

    We pull a full data dump from accessible Dynamics 365 entities: Contacts, Accounts, Opportunities, Projects, Cases, Tasks, Email activities, Meetings, Calls, Notes, Invoices, Users, and any enumerated custom entities. We calculate total record counts per entity, identify dark data (duplicate, outdated, or inactive records), and assess data quality. We deliver a data quality report that estimates the usable record volume versus total record volume. We do not import dirty data into Salesforce without flagging it; the customer chooses whether to clean before migration or import as-is with a quality disclaimer.

  3. Destination schema design and sandbox provisioning

    We design the Salesforce destination schema in a Sandbox org. This includes provisioning custom objects, custom fields, Record Types for each CRUMP CRM pipeline, Sales Processes, Page Layouts, and the Lead-versus-Contact split rule derived from the source contact qualification data. We also create the crump_*__c custom fields that preserve source IDs and metadata for audit. The schema design is reviewed and approved by the customer's Salesforce admin before any migration begins.

  4. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into the Salesforce Sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer's admin and RevOps lead reconcile record counts against the source Dynamics 365 inventory, spot-check 25-50 random records in Salesforce against the Dynamics 365 source, and sign off the mapping. Any field mapping corrections, custom object additions, or stage name adjustments happen in the Sandbox before production migration begins. This step prevents corrections from disrupting a live cutover.

  5. Owner and user provisioning

    We extract every distinct CRUMP CRM user referenced on Contacts, Accounts, Opportunities, Cases, and activity records and match by email against the Salesforce destination org's User table. Users without a matching Salesforce User go to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Salesforce admin provisions any missing Users (active for current team members, inactive for departed users who own historical records). Migration cannot proceed past this step because OwnerId references are required on most standard Salesforce objects.

  6. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in strict dependency order: Users (manually provisioned and validated), Accounts, Contacts (with AccountId resolved and the Lead-Contact split applied), Leads, Opportunities (with StageName, RecordTypeId, and OwnerId resolved), Cases, Tasks and Activities (via Bulk API 2.0 for large volumes), Invoices as Orders, Custom Objects (last, because they often contain lookups to standard objects), and Files (file-level pass enumerated separately). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We do not migrate Workflows, automations, or invoicing configurations; these are documented in a separate rebuild inventory delivered at cutover.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

CRUMP CRM logo

CRUMP CRM

Source

Strengths

  • Bundles CRM, helpdesk, invoicing, project management, and team chat into a single subscription.
  • Per-user pricing model is transparent and easy to budget for growing teams.
  • Built on Microsoft Dynamics 365, providing a structured relational schema under the hood.
  • G2 rating of 4.3 out of 5 indicates acceptable usability for the target SMB segment.
  • Positions itself explicitly against both overbuilt enterprise CRMs and underbaked startup tools.

Weaknesses

  • Pricing of $75 per user per month scales expensively beyond 20–30 seat teams.
  • Niche market position means limited third-party migration tooling, community support, and integrator familiarity.
  • Built on Dynamics 365, which carries Microsoft enterprise licensing complexity that many SMB buyers do not anticipate.
  • No publicly documented API or developer documentation makes self-service migration difficult.
  • Feature tier differentiation is not clearly published, creating upgrade uncertainty.

Strengths

  • Largest enterprise app ecosystem in CRM with 5,000+ AppExchange integrations covering nearly every vertical workflow.
  • Native Einstein AI delivers lead scoring, opportunity insights, and predictive forecasting without a third-party layer.
  • Advanced territory management, multi-currency, and flexible forecasting satisfy complex B2B revenue structures.
  • Deep platform extensibility: Custom Objects, Apex, Flow, and the Metadata API allow full schema customization.
  • Well-documented REST API, Bulk API, and Composite API with published rate limits for programmatic migration.

Weaknesses

  • Pricing model is layered and opaque in practice: per-seat fees plus storage overages, add-on subscriptions, and annual uplifts compound to 30–40% above sticker price.
  • Workflow Rules and Process Builder are deprecated, forcing all orgs onto Salesforce Flow — a migration task that catches many teams by surprise.
  • Steep administrative complexity: meaningful configuration requires a dedicated Salesforce admin or consultant.
  • API rate limits are edition-gated (100k/day base for Enterprise) and easily exhausted by large historical imports without throttling.
  • Data export is exportable via Data Loader but preserving relationship integrity across 30+ objects requires careful ETL sequencing.

Most migrations land between four and eight weeks for accounts under 25,000 Contacts, 5,000 Deals, and no complex custom Dynamics 365 entities. Migrations with multiple custom Dynamics 365 entities, large activity histories (over 500,000 records), or complex parent-child lookup chains move to ten to sixteen weeks because of Dynamics 365 API scoping time, custom entity enumeration, and bulk activity load via the Salesforce Bulk API 2.0. The key variable for CRUMP CRM specifically is how quickly the customer provides Dynamics 365 admin credentials and whether the source license tier exposes all required entities.
