Overview
Estimate Rocket organizes data around the project lifecycle — clients, projects, estimates, work orders, and invoices — with an item library for materials and labor. Freshsales uses the standard CRM object model: Leads, Contacts, Accounts, and Deals, with built-in Freddy AI contact scoring on Pro and above, multi-pipeline support, territory management, and sales sequences. The migration requires transforming Estimate Rocket's project-centric records into Freshsales' relationship model: client records become Contacts linked to Accounts, estimates become Deals with the proposal amount stored in the standard Amount field and the proposal status (Sent, Accepted, Declined, Expired) stored as a custom Proposal_Status__c pick-list field. Work order data migrates as custom fields on the associated Deal. Items and line items from the Estimate Rocket item library — materials, labor, and associated costs — are stored as custom text fields on Freshsales Deals since Freshsales lacks a native line-item table. Time entries (hours logged, work type, date) migrate as custom Deal fields or into the Sales Activity timeline. Owner resolution maps Estimate Rocket users to Freshsales users by email match, with unmatched owners flagged before migration runs. Freshsales' Workflows, Sales Sequences, and automation rules must be rebuilt post-migration — we export your Estimate Rocket automation definitions (email templates, follow-up campaigns, task triggers) as a rebuild reference for your Freshsales admin. The migration uses Freshsales' bulk import API with CSV preparation for custom fields created in your Freshsales account before data lands. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window captures any Estimate Rocket records modified during cutover so Freshsales reflects your final project state at go-live.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Estimate Rocket 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.
Estimate Rocket
Client
Freshsales
Contact + Account
1:1Estimate Rocket clients map directly to Freshsales Contacts. The primary company associated with a client becomes a Freshsales Account record, linked to the Contact via the Account lookup field. Multi-location clients require Account hierarchies — we map the primary location as the Account and additional locations as Account Address records.
Estimate Rocket
Client Address
Freshsales
Contact Address Fields
1:1Estimate Rocket stores full client address (street, city, state, zip). Freshsales Contact has address fields that split into Address, City, State, Zip, and Country. We map each component to the corresponding Freshsales field and preserve the full formatted address in a custom Address_Full__c field for reference.
Estimate Rocket
Project
Freshsales
Deal
1:1Estimate Rocket projects map to Freshsales Deals. Project name becomes Deal Name, project value becomes Deal Amount, and project status (Active, Completed, On Hold) maps to a custom Project_Status__c field on the Deal. The associated client (Contact + Account) is linked via Freshsales' native Account lookup.
Estimate Rocket
Estimate / Proposal
Freshsales
Deal + Custom Fields
1:1Each Estimate Rocket proposal becomes a Freshsales Deal with the proposal amount in the standard Amount field. Proposal-specific lifecycle data — status (Sent, Accepted, Declined, Expired), proposal date, accepted date, expiry date, and proposal ID — migrates as custom fields (Proposal_Status__c, Proposal_Date__c, Accepted_Date__c, Expiry_Date__c, Proposal_ID__c).
Estimate Rocket
Estimate Line Items
Freshsales
Deal Custom Field (long-text)
1:1Estimate Rocket line items (materials, labor, with unit price, cost, and taxable flag) have no native equivalent in Freshsales. We aggregate all line items per estimate into a Proposal_Items__c long-text field on the Deal, formatted as structured text (item name, type, quantity, unit price, cost) for manual reference and rebuild planning.
Estimate Rocket
Work Order
Freshsales
Deal Custom Fields
1:1Work order data — work order name, status, amount, type, scheduled date — appends to the Deal that originated from the Estimate Rocket estimate. Work order status (Pending, In Progress, Completed, Cancelled) is stored as Work_Order_Status__c on the Deal. If work orders exist independently of estimates, we create standalone Deals with work-order-specific custom fields.
Estimate Rocket
Invoice
Freshsales
Deal Custom Fields
1:1Freshsales has no native invoicing module. Invoice data — invoice number, invoice status (Draft, Sent, Paid, Overdue, Void), balance due — migrates as Invoice_Number__c, Invoice_Status__c, and Balance_Due__c custom fields on the associated Deal. For teams that need full invoice capability, we surface Freshsales' CPQ add-on as a post-migration option.
Estimate Rocket
Item Library
Freshsales
Freshsales Product Catalog
1:1Estimate Rocket's item library (Name, Units, Description, Unit Price, Unit Cost, Section, Type, Taxable, Work Notes) has no direct Freshsales equivalent. We map items to Freshsales Products for re-use in quotes if the team enables the CPQ module, and also store item text in a Proposal_Items__c field on the Deal for historical continuity.
Estimate Rocket
Time Entry
Freshsales
Deal Custom Fields + Sales Activity
1:1Estimate Rocket time entries (hours logged, date, work type, user) map to Deal-level custom fields (Total_Hours__c, Work_Type__c) and are also appended to the Deal's Sales Activity timeline as Task records with original timestamps. If Estimate Rocket tracks billable vs. non-billable hours, we store that as a Time_Entry_Type__c field.
Estimate Rocket
User / Owner
Freshsales
Freshsales User
1:1Estimate Rocket users (estimators, project managers, field technicians) are matched to Freshsales users by email address. Unmatched users are flagged before migration so your team can create Freshsales accounts first or assign records to a fallback owner. User role permissions (field user vs. full user) do not translate — Freshsales role assignments are destination-side configuration.
Estimate Rocket
Email Templates
Freshsales
Not Migrated
1:1Estimate Rocket email templates use proprietary token-based substitution. Freshsales email templates use a different token syntax and storage format. We export your Estimate Rocket template definitions as a structured JSON document so your Freshsales admin can recreate them in Freshsales' template editor. No automation logic (triggers, follow-up sequences) migrates — those must be rebuilt in Freshsales Workflows or Sales Sequences.
Estimate Rocket
Follow-Up Campaign
Freshsales
Not Migrated
1:1Estimate Rocket's automated follow-up email campaigns have no equivalent in Freshsales. We export the campaign definitions — trigger conditions, email sequence steps, delay intervals — as a rebuild reference for Freshsales Sales Sequences. Sequences are configured in Freshsales Pro and Enterprise plans and require destination-side setup.
Estimate Rocket
Reports and Analytics
Freshsales
Not Migrated
1:1Estimate Rocket's Intelligent Insight Reports and project analytics do not migrate. The underlying data (estimates, work orders, invoices) moves to Freshsales Deals and custom fields, so you can rebuild equivalent reports in Freshsales' native reporting module (Curated Reports on Growth, Custom Reports on Pro+). We provide a report-mapping worksheet listing each Estimate Rocket metric and its Freshsales equivalent.

Migration approach
Discover Estimate Rocket data volume and Freshsales API exportability
FlitStack AI runs a discovery scan against your Estimate Rocket account via the Zapier API connection (or CSV export if Zapier triggers are unavailable for specific objects). We inventory every client, project, estimate, work order, invoice, and item record, flagging record counts, custom field usage, and owner assignments. Simultaneously, we audit your Freshsales account: plan tier, existing custom fields, pipeline configuration, and user list. The discovery output is a data volume report and a pre-flight checklist confirming which objects are reachable via API before field mapping begins.
Create Freshsales custom fields and configure pipeline before data lands
Freshsales requires custom fields to exist before records can be written to them. We create all required custom fields in your Freshsales account — Proposal_Status__c, Proposal_Date__c, Proposal_Items__c, Invoice_Status__c, Work_Order_Status__c, Total_Hours__c, Source_System_ID__c, and others identified during discovery — with the correct field types (pick-list, date, long-text, currency, checkbox). We also configure your Freshsales pipeline: stage names, probability weights, and the Deal layout so all migrated Deal records land in the correct view. This step requires a Freshsales admin with field-creation permissions; we provide a step-by-step field creation guide if your team handles it internally.
Resolve owners and build client-account-contact relationship tree
Estimate Rocket users are matched to Freshsales users by email address. We run an owner-resolution pass: any Estimate Rocket user without a corresponding Freshworks account is flagged with the specific email address so your team can provision access before the migration. We then build the client-to-account-to-contact relationship tree. Estimate Rocket clients with a primary company become Freshsales Contacts linked to a Freshsales Account. Clients without a company become Contacts with no Account link (or a default 'Individual' Account if your setup requires it). We preserve the original Estimate Rocket client create date as Original_Create_Date__c on each Contact since Freshsales CreatedDate reflects the migration timestamp.
Run sample migration with field-level diff before full data commit
We migrate a representative slice — typically 100–300 records covering clients, projects, estimates, work orders, and invoices — as a sample run. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values in Estimate Rocket against the migrated values in Freshsales, specifically verifying: Proposal_Status__c accuracy against Estimate Rocket proposal status, Amount field correctness against estimate proposal amounts, line-item aggregation in Proposal_Items__c, and owner assignment in Freshsales. The diff report is shared with your team for sign-off before the full migration run proceeds.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and post-migration audit
The full migration runs against Freshsales' bulk import API. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any Estimate Rocket records modified or created during the cutover period — ensuring Freshsales reflects the final project state at go-live. FlitStack AI generates a migration audit log listing every record written, the field mappings applied, and any records that failed with failure reasons. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation finds unexpected discrepancies. We also deliver the Estimate Rocket automation export (email templates, follow-up campaign definitions, workflow rules) as structured JSON for your Freshsales admin to rebuild in Freshsales Workflows and Sales Sequences.
