Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Delta Sales CRM to Twenty CRM is a structural shift from a field-sales-centric model to a self-hosted, open-source relationship CRM. Delta organizes data around GPS visits, beat plans, and field rep accountability; Twenty organizes around People, Companies, and Opportunities with a customizable data model and full data ownership through self-hosting. The primary migration challenge is Delta's absence of a public API — all extraction relies on CSV export, which carries format risks for custom fields and phone numbers. We address this with pre-flight format validation, a 24-hour offline sync verification window, and custom field pre-configuration in Twenty before any import. We do not migrate Attendance records, GPS visit logs, or Delta's field-visit geometry because Twenty has no equivalent object model. We deliver beat plan assignments as a written custom-object specification for Twenty's admin to implement post-migration.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Delta Sales CRM logo

Delta Sales CRM

What's pushing teams away

  • iOS support gaps frustrate mixed-device teams — reps carrying iPhones encounter a degraded or unavailable app experience, forcing them back to manual entry.
  • App stability issues cause data loss anxiety — reviewers report unexpected crashes and slow loading in the field, which is catastrophic when reps are mid-sale with no connectivity.
  • Limited customization blocks adaptation — G2 themes call out weak customization, and analytics require an advanced module, leaving power users without the dashboard depth they expect.
  • Excessive notifications with no granular controls — teams cannot fine-tune alert triggers, creating alert fatigue that causes users to ignore or disable notifications entirely.
  • Confusing UI requires significant training investment — reviewers describe the interface as unintuitive with menus that take sustained effort to navigate, increasing onboarding friction for new reps.

Choosing

Twenty CRM

What's pulling them in

  • Top open-source CRM on GitHub with 40.6K stars, giving teams full source code access and infrastructure ownership without per-feature licensing surprises.
  • Free self-hosting under AGPL-3.0 means unlimited users and custom objects for the cost of cloud infrastructure alone, typically $20–100/month.
  • Pricing page explicitly mocks competitors for charging add-on fees for API access, webhooks, and workflows — transparency that resonates with RevOps teams burned by Salesforce.
  • Unlimited custom objects and fields with no price impact, letting teams shape the data model to their business rather than forcing business into rigid schemas.
  • Modern TypeScript/React/PostgreSQL stack means developer-led teams can extend, self-host, or integrate without fighting legacy architecture.

Object mapping

How Delta Sales CRM objects map to Twenty CRM

Each row shows how a Delta Sales CRM object lands in Twenty CRM, 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

maps to

Twenty CRM

Person

1:1
Fully supported

Delta Contacts map directly to Twenty Persons. The contact's name, phone, email, address, and company linkage export from Delta as standard CSV fields and import into Twenty's Person object. Phone number format (especially leading zeros in international numbers) requires pre-import validation because CSV export can silently drop leading zeros. We compare a sample of phone number strings against Delta's source values before running the full import.

Delta Sales CRM

Company

maps to

Twenty CRM

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Delta Companies (Accounts) map to Twenty's Company object. The company name, website, address, and industry fields migrate 1:1. Company records must import before any Person records that reference them, because the Person.companyId lookup requires a valid Company ID to resolve. We extract the Company ID mapping table first and use it to resolve Person-Company links during Person import.

Delta Sales CRM

Lead

maps to

Twenty CRM

Person or Opportunity

1:many
Fully supported

Delta Leads with a status of unqualified or early stage map to Twenty Person records (as Leads in Twenty's terminology if that object exists in the deployed version). Delta Leads that have progressed toward a deal map to Twenty Opportunity records with the person linked. We use Delta's lead status and assigned owner fields to determine the split at migration time and preserve the original lead source in a custom field for reporting continuity.

Delta Sales CRM

Deal

maps to

Twenty CRM

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

Delta Deals map to Twenty Opportunities. Deal name, amount, pipeline stage, probability, owner, expected close date, and associated contact and company links migrate to Twenty. The Delta pipeline stages (for example, Prospecting, Proposal, Negotiation, Won, Lost) map to Twenty's Opportunity stage values, which we configure before migration. We resolve the opportunity personId and companyId lookups using the ID mapping tables generated during Company and Person import.

Delta Sales CRM

Pipeline

maps to

Twenty CRM

Opportunity Stage (customized)

lossy
Fully supported

Delta's customizable pipelines (multiple pipelines with custom stage definitions) map to a customized Opportunity stage configuration in Twenty. We extract each Delta pipeline's name, stage order, and stage probability values as metadata and configure Twenty's Opportunity stages accordingly before Deal migration begins. Stage probability percentages round to integer values supported by Twenty's stage model.

Delta Sales CRM

Activity (Tasks, Calls, Meetings)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Delta Activities — including tasks, calls, meetings, reminders, and follow-ups — map to Twenty Task records. We export activity type, date, assignee, status, and notes. Delta's call duration and disposition fields migrate as custom task fields in Twenty. Date formats require normalization from Delta's export format to Twenty's expected ISO 8601 format before import. Activity records are linked to the parent Person or Company using the ID mapping tables built during Person and Company import.

Delta Sales CRM

Product

maps to

Twenty CRM

Product (Standard or Custom)

1:1
Fully supported

Delta Products (name, price, unit, description, SKU if populated) map to Twenty Product records if the deployed Twenty instance includes a product management module. If Twenty's standard deployment does not include Products, we migrate product data as custom fields on the Opportunity object, mapping product name and price to custom Opportunity fields that the customer's Twenty admin configures before import.

Delta Sales CRM

Invoice

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Object or Opportunity Fields

lossy
Fully supported

Delta invoicing (invoice headers, line items, payment status linked to contacts, deals, and products) has no direct standard object equivalent in Twenty CRM's base deployment. We migrate invoice data as a custom object in Twenty, pre-configuring the schema with invoice number, amount, date, status, and linked Opportunity reference. The customer confirms whether invoicing will live inside Twenty or a separate billing system post-migration. If a separate system is planned, we migrate invoice records as an archived reference object without active linkage.

Delta Sales CRM

Payment

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Object or Opportunity Fields

lossy
Fully supported

Delta Payment records (amount, date, method, linked invoice reference) migrate as a custom object linked to the corresponding Opportunity or Invoice custom object. Payment reconciliation between paid invoices and payment records requires matching the payment's associated invoice ID to the migrated invoice number, which we resolve using a lookup table built during invoice migration. If no invoice custom object is configured, payments migrate as Opportunity custom fields with payment date and amount.

Delta Sales CRM

Custom Fields

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Fields

lossy
Mapping required

Delta custom fields are supported across all major objects (Contacts, Companies, Leads, Deals, Activities). We export field definitions (name, data type, required/optional) and all populated values. Twenty's custom field mechanism must be configured in the Twenty instance before any import, because Twenty requires field schema to exist before record data can reference it. We pre-build the custom field schema during the scoping phase and deploy it before the first data import.

Delta Sales CRM

Beat Plan (Route Plan)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Object (Route Plan)

lossy
Fully supported

Delta Beat Plans assign route sequences to field reps visiting customers in a defined order — a concept with no standard equivalent in Twenty's base object model. We export beat plan name, assigned rep, route sequence, customer visit order, and scheduled visit dates. We deliver a written custom object specification for Twenty's admin to implement as a Route Plan custom object with fields for plan name, rep assignment, route step order, linked Company, and visit date. We do not import beat plan data as active records because the custom object must first be created in the Twenty schema by the admin.

Delta Sales CRM

Attachment (Document)

maps to

Twenty CRM

File (with caveats)

1:1
Fully supported

Delta document uploads per record (up to 30-100 GB depending on plan) export as binary files with their associated record ID. We export files and their metadata (filename, record association, upload date) and note the file attachment volume before migration. Large attachment batches require chunked export and import. Whether Twenty's self-hosted deployment supports file attachments on Person or Company records depends on the specific version and hosting configuration — we confirm attachment support during scoping and flag any hosting storage constraints.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Delta Sales CRM has no documented public API

    The research found no public REST API, GraphQL endpoint, or developer portal for Delta Sales CRM. All structured data extraction relies on CSV export from the web application. We build a custom export pipeline from Delta's browser-session data layer, transform the CSV into Twenty's import format, and validate field coverage before committing to a timeline. CSV exports carry inherent risks for custom fields, leading zeros in phone numbers, and long free-text notes — we pre-validate format integrity against a Delta source snapshot before running the full import and flag any attachment volume that exceeds reasonable import thresholds.

  • Lifetime deal model delays migration until data volume becomes painful

    Delta's Standard ($199) and Premium ($499) lifetime plans remove the recurring cost pressure that normally prompts CRM migrations. Customers on lifetime deals may accumulate years of data — 20,000 to 50,000 records — with no financial trigger to switch until something breaks or a business event forces the move. We encourage early migration planning for lifetime-plan customers because data volume compounds and the cost and risk of migration grows with it. We surface the data compounding risk during the discovery call and recommend scoping the migration while record counts are still manageable.

  • Offline-first sync creates unsynced record gaps at migration time

    Delta's Android app syncs when connectivity returns, meaning records created or modified in the field during offline periods may not have reached Delta's central database at the time of export. A real-time export will miss these records, creating a data gap that only becomes apparent post-migration when a sales rep cannot find a recently-visited customer. We require all field devices to be online and synced for at least 24 hours before the migration window begins, and we compare record counts from the web app against a fresh offline-device export to identify and close the sync gap.

  • CSV export strips leading zeros from phone numbers and ID fields

    CSV exports from Delta's web interface commonly drop leading zeros from numeric-formatted fields including phone numbers, account numbers, and invoice numbers. International phone numbers formatted as +91-98765-43210 may export as 919876543210 or 9876543210, depending on Delta's export logic. We run pre-import format validation against a sample of Delta records, flag fields where leading zeros are dropped, and apply zero-padding corrections before importing into Twenty. This step is part of the standard migration process for all Delta exports and cannot be skipped without risking corrupted contact data.

  • Delta's field-sales data model has no native equivalent in Twenty

    Delta's unique value — beat plans, GPS visit logs, attendance records, and customer visit time stamps — is a field-force management construct that does not map to Twenty's relationship CRM object model. Twenty does not have a Beat Plan, Visit Log, or Attendance object. We do not migrate Attendance records or GPS/visit tracking data as standalone records. Beat plan assignments (rep, customer sequence, schedule) migrate as a written custom object specification for the customer's Twenty admin to implement post-migration. The customer relationship and pipeline data (Contacts, Companies, Deals, Activities) do migrate fully.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Delta Sales CRM to Twenty CRM data migration

  1. Discovery and Delta export audit

    We audit Delta Sales CRM across all active objects — Contacts, Companies, Leads, Deals, Pipelines, Activities, Products, Invoices, Payments, and Custom Fields — by working with the customer to run CSV exports from the Delta web interface. We validate row counts, field headers, and sample data quality (duplicate rates, blank required fields, phone number formats). We confirm that all field devices have been online and synced for at least 24 hours and compare the web app record count against offline-device export counts to catch unsynced record gaps. This step produces a written migration scope and a Delta export readiness report.

  2. Twenty schema design and custom object pre-configuration

    We design the destination schema in the customer's Twenty instance. This includes mapping Delta's Companies to Twenty Companies, Delta's Contacts to Twenty Persons, Delta's Leads to Person or Opportunity records, Delta's Deals to Twenty Opportunities, and Delta's Activities to Twenty Tasks. We pre-configure any custom objects needed for Delta Invoices and Payments, and we deliver a written custom object specification for Beat Plans. Custom fields are created in Twenty's schema before any data import, because Twenty requires field definitions to exist before record data can reference them. We confirm Twenty version and hosting configuration to validate which standard objects (Products, Attachments) are available in the deployed instance.

  3. Staging migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into a staging environment in Twenty using the customer's live Delta data. We import in dependency order — Companies first, then Persons with company links resolved, then Opportunities with person and company lookups resolved, then Products, then Tasks, then Invoice and Payment custom records. We validate record counts, spot-check 25-50 random records against the Delta source for field accuracy, and confirm that Person-Company and Opportunity-Person relationships are intact. The customer's team reviews the staging result and signs off before production migration begins.

  4. User reconciliation and Delta owner mapping

    We extract every distinct Delta Owner (sales rep, admin, manager) referenced on Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Activities and map them to Twenty User accounts by email match. Any Delta Owner without a matching Twenty User is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision. Owner ID resolution is a prerequisite for Opportunity import because OwnerId references must be valid at the time of insert. We also flag any inactive Delta users whose records are being migrated so the customer can decide whether to import their historical data under an active user or archive it.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Companies (from Delta Companies), Persons (with companyId resolved from the Company mapping table), Opportunities (with personId, companyId, and ownerId resolved), Products, Tasks (with activity metadata and parent record links resolved), and Invoice and Payment custom records. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report comparing Delta source count to Twenty import count. Orphaned records (Opportunities without a valid personId or companyId) are flagged and queued for manual resolution before the next phase begins.

  6. Cutover, delta sync, and beat plan handoff

    We freeze Delta from new writes during the cutover window, run a final delta export of any records modified during the migration, and import the delta into Twenty. We deliver the beat plan reconstruction specification as a written document with the exact custom object schema, field list, and relationship model that the customer's Twenty admin implements post-migration. We do not migrate Attendance records or GPS visit logs because Twenty has no equivalent object. We support a one-week post-cutover hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the sales team.

Straightforward migrations under 5,000 total records (Contacts, Companies, Deals, Activities) with no custom fields or beat plan reconstruction land between four and six weeks. Migrations with custom fields across multiple objects, multi-pipeline Deal structures, large activity histories (over 200,000 records), or beat plan reconstruction requirements move to ten to sixteen weeks because of CSV format validation, offline sync gap reconciliation, and Twenty's custom object pre-configuration. Timeline is also dependent on customer team availability for staging sign-off and user provisioning.
