Overview
Moving from Delta Sales CRM to Freshsales is a CSV-first migration because Delta has no documented public API. We build a custom export pipeline from the web application's data layer during an authenticated browser session, extract all record types to CSV, and transform them into Freshsales import format before loading through the Freshsales REST API. The most significant structural difference is that Delta's Beat Plans (route sequences assigned to field reps) have no direct Freshsales equivalent; we export the route structure as a custom object and document the rebuild approach for the customer's admin. We do not migrate Attendance records or GPS/visit geometry because Delta stores these as app metadata without a structured CRM record, and no mainstream CRM handles field-visit geometry natively. Workflows, automations, and notification rules do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory for the admin to rebuild in Freshsales's workflow builder.
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 Delta Sales CRM 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.
Delta Sales CRM
Contact
Freshsales
Contact
1:1Delta Contacts map to Freshsales Contact records with name, phone, email, address, and company linkage preserved 1:1. Email is the dedupe key. We resolve the Delta company_id reference to the Freshsales Account created from the same Delta Company export. Phone number formatting is normalized during transform to match Freshsales's expected format (no country code prefix assumed by default; we confirm with the customer during scoping).
Delta Sales CRM
Company
Freshsales
Account
1:1Delta Companies map to Freshsales Account records. The company name becomes Account Name, and any address data maps to the billing address fields. Accounts are imported before Contacts so that the Account-Contact relationship is satisfied at Contact insert time. Duplicate account detection uses company name match by default unless the customer has a unique identifier field they prefer.
Delta Sales CRM
Lead
Freshsales
Lead
1:1Delta Leads map directly to Freshsales Lead records with status, source, and owner assignment preserved. The lead_status field maps to Freshsales Lead Status values. Any lead score stored in a Delta custom field migrates to a Freshsales custom field. If the customer's Delta instance has leads in a converted state (linked to deals), we preserve the conversion timestamp in a custom field for audit.
Delta Sales CRM
Deal
Freshsales
Deal
1:1Delta Deals map to Freshsales Deal records. The deal amount, stage, owner, expected close date, and associated contact and account references migrate directly. We resolve Delta's pipeline-stage model to Freshsales's pipeline and stage configuration during the pre-migration schema setup phase. Closed-Lost and Closed-Won status migrate with the original close reason if stored in a custom field.
Delta Sales CRM
Pipeline
Freshsales
Pipeline
lossyDelta's customizable pipeline stages map to Freshsales Pipeline stages during the pre-migration configuration phase. We export Delta pipeline names, stage definitions, and stage order as configuration metadata, then recreate the pipeline structure in Freshsales with matching stage names and probabilities before Deal records are imported. Stage probability percentages are preserved if configured in Delta.
Delta Sales CRM
Product
Freshsales
Product
1:1Delta Products map to Freshsales Product records with name, price, unit, and description preserved. Product codes (if used in Delta as SKU fields) migrate to the Freshsales product code field. Products are imported before Deals so that line item associations can be resolved during Deal import.
Delta Sales CRM
Invoice
Freshsales
Deal (Line Items)
1:manyDelta Invoice records do not have a direct Freshsales equivalent because Freshsales does not include a standalone invoicing object in its standard CRM tier. We export invoice headers and line items and reconstruct them as Deal Line Items in Freshsales, preserving product, quantity, unit price, and total. If the customer requires standalone invoice management post-migration, we recommend a Freshsales integration with FreshBooks, QuickBooks, or Xero.
Delta Sales CRM
Activity (Tasks, Meetings, Calls, Notes)
Freshsales
Task, Event, and Note
1:1Delta Activities (tasks, meetings, calls, reminders, follow-ups) map to Freshsales Task and Event records. Activity type determines the mapping: tasks and follow-ups become Task records; meetings become Event records; calls become Task records with call-specific custom fields. We preserve activity date, assignee, status, and any notes content. Activity owner mapping resolves by email match against Freshsales Users.
Delta Sales CRM
Beat Plan (Route Plan)
Freshsales
Custom Object: Route_Plan__c
lossyDelta Beat Plans (route sequences assigned to field reps) have no native Freshsales equivalent. We export the beat plan structure including route name, assigned rep, customer visit sequence, and planned visit dates, then reconstruct it as a custom object (Route_Plan__c) in Freshsales with a related list of Account visits. The customer reviews the custom object schema during sandbox validation and approves the rebuild before production migration. Territory management on Freshsales Enterprise ($59/user/mo) offers a partial alternative if the customer upgrades.
Delta Sales CRM
Custom Field
Freshsales
Custom Field
lossyDelta custom fields across all objects migrate to Freshsales custom fields of equivalent type (text, number, date, picklist, multi-select). We export the field definitions during discovery, confirm the target field types in Freshsales during schema setup, and pre-create all custom fields before any data import to avoid silent data loss from undefined fields. Any custom field that cannot map directly (due to type incompatibility) is flagged for the customer to decide on transformation logic.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and offline-sync confirmation
We audit Delta Sales CRM across all record types (Contacts, Companies, Leads, Deals, Pipelines, Activities, Products, Invoices, Beat Plans, Custom Fields) and confirm which objects are populated. We require the customer to confirm that all field devices have been online for at least 24 hours before the migration window begins. We review the current Delta plan tier and storage usage, identify any Delta features not listed in the standard object export (GPS data, attendance records), and deliver a written migration scope document listing every object, record count estimate, and what will and will not migrate.
Custom export pipeline and CSV extraction
Because Delta has no public API, we build a custom export pipeline from the authenticated browser session. We extract each record type to CSV in dependency order: Companies, Contacts, Leads, Products, Deals, Activities, Invoices, Beat Plans, and Custom Fields. Each CSV is validated for field count, encoding, and data completeness before the next object is extracted. Any malformed records or records with missing required fields are flagged and returned to the customer for correction before transform begins.
Schema setup and Beat Plan custom object design
We configure the Freshsales destination schema before any data import. This includes creating the Route_Plan__c custom object for Beat Plan reconstruction (with fields for route name, assigned rep, visit sequence, and planned date), setting up Freshsales Pipelines and Stages to match Delta's pipeline configuration, creating custom fields for any Delta custom field types that have no direct Freshsales equivalent, and configuring picklist values to match Delta's status and stage enumerations. Schema is validated in a Freshsales trial or sandbox environment before production migration begins.
Transform, dedupe, and import via Freshsales API
We transform each CSV into Freshsales API format with field-level type mapping (text, number, date, picklist, multi-select). We resolve parent-record references (Contact-Account, Deal-Contact, Deal-Product) during transform using the record IDs from earlier object imports. Records are loaded via the Freshsales REST API in dependency order (Accounts first, then Contacts, then Leads, then Deals, then Activities) with chunking to stay within API rate limits. Each import phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Sandbox validation and customer sign-off
We run a full migration into a Freshsales trial or sandbox environment using production-like data volume. The customer's admin reviews record counts, spot-checks 25-50 records per object against the Delta source, and validates the Beat Plan custom object schema. Any mapping corrections are applied before production migration begins. The customer signs off the sandbox results in writing before we proceed to the production migration window.
Production cutover and Workflow inventory delivery
We freeze Delta writes during the production cutover window, run a final delta export of any records modified since the initial extraction, import the delta records to Freshsales, and validate record counts match the sandbox results. We deliver a written inventory of every Delta workflow, notification rule, and automation with a recommended Freshsales workflow equivalent for the customer's admin to rebuild. We do not migrate workflows as code. Post-migration, we offer a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the sales team.
