Migrate your Estimate Rocket data
Web-based CRM and project-management platform for residential and commercial contractors, covering the full lifecycle from lead to invoice with built-in scheduling and estimating.
In its favor
Why people choose Estimate Rocket
The signal that keeps Estimate Rocket on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Replaces spreadsheets entirely by centralizing leads, estimates, work orders, and invoices in one web-based platform that contractors access from the field or office.
Full lifecycle coverage from first estimate through final invoice means teams stop re-entering the same job data at every stage of the project.
Built-in drag-and-drop scheduling with calendar view reduces double-booking and gives field crews a shared view of assignments.
Client library automatically organizes all historical projects, billing info, and internal notes per contact for fast lookup on return visits.
Automated email and text reminders for appointments and follow-ups reduce missed leads without manual outreach.
The platform requires dedicated time to learn; one reviewer noted it is definitely something you have to leave time to learn about, creating friction for teams wanting immediate productivity.
No public bulk export or direct API documentation means data extraction depends on CSV imports or Zapier-based automation, limiting migration options.
Estimate Rocket does not appear in the public Zapier app directory and requires a private invite link, complicating automated data-pull setups.
Pricing scales quickly with user count ($79/month per additional full user), making it costly for larger crews without a clear feature ceiling.
No documented REST API rate limits or self-service webhook management means integrators have no control over API-driven migration pacing.

What gets migrated
Estimate Rocket object support
Object-by-object support for Estimate Rocket migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Clients
Fully supportedClients in Estimate Rocket hold contact info, billing address, and internal notes. All current and historical projects are accessible from the Client record. We import Clients as Contacts, preserving project history as a custom property if the destination has no linked Projects object.
Projects
Fully supportedProjects are the central entity tying Estimates, Work Orders, Invoices, and Schedule entries together. We migrate Projects 1:1 and map their status (All, Late, Today, Future) to the destination's equivalent pipeline stage model.
Estimates / Proposals
Fully supportedEstimates carry line items, descriptions, discounts, and a configurable approval workflow. The June 2024 API added a dedicated Proposals endpoint. We map Estimate line items to destination quote or proposal line items, preserving Units, Unit Price, Unit Cost, Section, Type, and Taxable flags.
Work Orders
Fully supportedWork Orders follow estimates and contain scheduled assignments, field-user notes, and final costing. We preserve Work Order-to-Estimate linkage and carry forward Work Notes as internal notes in the destination system.
Items
Fully supportedItems are the price-list catalog: Name, Units, Description, Unit Price, Unit Cost, Section, Type (material/labor), Taxable flag, and Work Notes. We import Items into the destination's product or service catalog, mapping Type to the correct category and preserving costing for margin reporting.
Invoices
Mapping requiredInvoices are generated from Projects and may carry open or paid status, line items, and payment history. We map Invoice line items to the destination's billing records, but payment history and aged AR must be manually reconciled post-migration since invoice IDs do not transfer between systems.
Schedule / Appointments
Mapping requiredSchedule entries are calendar events linked to Projects, Estimates, or Work Orders with assigned users and due dates. We map Schedule entries to the destination's calendar or task objects, but recurrence patterns and drag-and-drop position do not carry over.
Time Entries
Fully supportedEstimate Rocket tracks time per project and work type per user. Time entries include clock-in/clock-out and are reviewable by field users. We migrate Time Entries as time-logged records linked to the corresponding Project.
Users / Team Members
Mapping requiredUsers are assigned as Owners or Field Users (with separate pricing tiers). We map Users to destination users and flag Field Users separately for review, as role semantics differ across CRMs.
Email Templates
Mapping requiredEmail Templates use tokens that pull data directly from the Estimate Rocket database. Token-based templates do not transfer directly to other CRMs; we document which templates exist and recommend rebuilding them using the destination's merge-field syntax post-migration.
Follow-Up Campaigns
Not in this platformFollow-up Campaigns are a series of automated emails configured per project phase in Estimate Rocket. These automation rules are stored in the platform's own workflow engine and cannot be exported. We skip them and flag campaign sequences for manual recreation in the destination system.
Activity History
Mapping requiredEstimate Rocket logs every user action inside the app under Activity History. This is an audit trail, not a transactional record. We do not migrate Activity History as a primary object; we note its existence and advise customers it stays in the source system.
