Overview

What this migration involves

Evatic operates as a field service management platform with a data model built around service contracts, equipment units/models, work orders, and technician scheduling. Dynamics 365 Sales uses the Dataverse data model with standard entities for accounts, contacts, leads, opportunities, quotes, orders, and invoices — plus unlimited custom tables in Sales Enterprise licensing. The migration carries Evatic customer records into Dynamics 365 accounts and contacts, service agreements into account-level custom fields or custom agreement entities, and equipment/unit history into custom tables with lookup relationships to accounts. Work order summaries, last service dates, and contract expiration dates surface as searchable fields on the account record so account managers have context without rebuilding a full FSM module. Automations (service scheduling rules, dispatch logic, SLA timers) do not migrate — they require Power Automate flows or third-party FSM tools to rebuild. FlitStack sequences the migration using Evatic's API export and Dynamics 365's bulk import via Dataverse, with a 24–48 hour delta pickup window capturing in-flight work orders during cutover. All owner assignments resolve by email match against Dynamics 365 user accounts before records commit.

Evatic

What's pushing teams away

  • Public review footprint is thin — Capterra lists only 2 reviews and SoftwareWorld coverage is shallow, making independent vendor evaluation difficult.
  • API documentation is gated behind partner portal access (docs.asolvi.com), slowing integration projects and self-service evaluation.
  • Pricing is sales-led with only a vague starting point of $175/month per SoftwareFinder; teams cannot model TCO without a vendor call.
  • DATEV-tight accounting flows lock Nordic/German-market customers into regional fiscal tooling that does not export cleanly when migrating to non-DATEV destinations.
  • Narrow industry focus — Evatic's MPS-centric object model is a strength for print but a liability for service organizations outside the office equipment vertical.

Choosing

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales  logo

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

What's pulling them in

  • Deep Microsoft 365, Teams, and Outlook integration makes Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales a natural fit for Microsoft-first organizations already invested in that ecosystem
  • Sales Enterprise and Premium tiers offer unlimited custom tables and advanced AI-driven forecasting and predictive analytics not available in lower tiers
  • Professional tier pricing at $65 per user per month offers a lower entry cost than Salesforce for SMB teams with straightforward CRM needs
  • Flexible customization options allow businesses to build bespoke apps, tailor forms and views, and integrate with other Dynamics 365 modules
  • Microsoft Copilot AI tools are embedded directly into the sales workflow on Enterprise and Premium, automating routine tasks and providing deal intelligence

Object mapping

How Evatic objects map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Each row shows how a Evatic object lands in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales , including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

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

Evatic

Customer

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Account

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic Customer records map directly to Dynamics 365 Account entities. The Account Name, primary address, phone, and website fields carry over directly. Multi-site customers in Evatic (branch offices under one customer) translate to a parent Account with child Account records using the Parent Account lookup field in Dataverse.

Evatic

Contact

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic Contact records (site contacts, billing contacts, technician contacts) map to Dynamics 365 Contact entities. The primary Contact per Customer links via the AccountId lookup. Secondary contacts on the same Customer become additional Contact records with the same AccountId lookup value.

Evatic

Contract

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Contract Entity (Agreement)

1:1
Fully supported

Service contracts in Evatic have no direct equivalent in Dynamics 365 Sales. FlitStack creates a custom Agreement entity in Dataverse with fields for contract number, start/end dates, service level (SLA tier), contract value, and renewal status. The Agreement record links to the Account via a lookup relationship. SLA definitions require manual rebuild in Power Automate or Dynamics 365 Field Service.

Evatic

Unit / Model

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Equipment Entity

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic equipment units (serialized assets, model numbers, install dates) map to a custom Equipment table in Dataverse. Each Equipment record links to the Account (customer site) and optionally to a Contact (equipment owner). Unit attributes (manufacturer, model, warranty expiration, last service date) become custom fields on the Equipment record.

Evatic

WorkOrder

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom WorkOrder Entity

1:1
Fully supported

Work orders in Evatic map to a custom WorkOrder entity in Dataverse. Fields include work order number, status (open/in-progress/complete), scheduled date, actual completion date, technician assigned (lookup to Contact or User), service type, and billable hours. Open work orders at migration time require a delta pickup to capture any completed during cutover window.

Evatic

Resource

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

User / Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic Resources (technicians, dispatchers) resolve by email match to Dynamics 365 User accounts. If a Resource has no corresponding Dynamics 365 user license, their historical assignments migrate as Contact records tagged with a Resource_Role__c custom field. Active technicians with Dynamics 365 licenses retain their assignments as OwnerId lookups on work orders.

Evatic

WorkOrderLine

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom WorkOrderLine Entity

1:1
Fully supported

Individual line items on Evatic work orders (parts used, labor hours, travel time, consumables) map to a custom WorkOrderLine entity with a lookup to the parent WorkOrder record. Each line captures the service type, quantity, unit cost, and total. Billable vs non-billable flags translate directly.

Evatic

Attachment

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Annotation / SharePoint

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic attachments on work orders, units, and contracts (photos, signatures, scanned documents) migrate to Dataverse Annotation entities linked to the corresponding record. Large file attachments exceeding Dataverse size limits route to SharePoint document libraries with the document URL stored in a custom field on the record.

Evatic

ServiceLevel (SLA)

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom SLA Field

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic SLA definitions (response time, resolution time, business hours calendars) have no native equivalent in Dynamics 365 Sales. FlitStack migrates SLA tier names and response-hour definitions as custom fields on the Agreement entity. SLA breach tracking and automated escalation require Power Automate workflows post-migration.

Evatic

Invoice

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Invoice

1:1
Fully supported

Closed, billed invoices in Evatic map to Dynamics 365 Invoice records linked to the Account and Contact. Invoice status, total amount, and line items carry over. Invoice generation and recurring billing logic from Evatic require rebuild in Dynamics 365 Finance or a custom Power Automate flow.

Evatic

Case / ServiceRequest

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Case Entity

1:1
Fully supported

Service cases or requests in Evatic that are not tied to work orders migrate to a custom Case entity in Dataverse. Fields include case number, subject, status, priority, created date, resolved date, and linked Account/Contact. Case-to-work-order routing logic does not migrate and must be rebuilt in Power Automate.

Evatic

Product / Part

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Product

1:1
Fully supported

Parts and products catalogued in Evatic map to Dynamics 365 Product records. Unit of measure, product type (service vs inventory), and default price transfer directly. Product库存 quantity tracking in Evatic does not translate to Dynamics 365 unless Field Service or external inventory management is enabled.

Pair-specific challenges

  • SLA and service scheduling logic has no native Dynamics 365 Sales equivalent

    Evatic's core value proposition is SLA enforcement — response-time clocks, escalation rules, business-hours calendars, and technician dispatch optimization. Dynamics 365 Sales has no native scheduling board, SLA timer fields, or dispatch optimization. We migrate SLA tier names and response-hour definitions as custom fields on the Agreement entity, but SLA breach tracking, automated escalation, and scheduling rules must be rebuilt in Power Automate or by deploying Dynamics 365 Field Service. Teams that rely heavily on Evatic's scheduling board face a significant gap that requires additional licensing and configuration.

  • Sales Professional caps at 15 custom tables — Enterprise required for full schema parity

    Evatic's migration requires custom tables for Agreement, Equipment, WorkOrder, WorkOrderLine, and potentially Case entities. Dynamics 365 Sales Professional enforces a 15-custom-table limit per environment. If your Evatic setup uses more than 10 custom fields per entity or requires multiple custom entities, you will need Sales Enterprise licensing ($105/user/month vs $65/user/month). We flag this during the discovery phase before migration begins so there are no licensing surprises post-migration.

  • Open work orders require delta-pickup window to capture cutover changes

    Evatic work orders are live operational records — technicians complete jobs during the migration window. We run a full migration against a point-in-time export, then open a delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours after go-live. Any work order status changes, new work orders, or technician assignments that occur during the window are pulled in a second pass. If your team is actively completing work orders during cutover, the delta window is mandatory to avoid losing in-flight service records.

  • Contract renewal and billing logic requires Power Automate rebuild

    Evatic handles recurring contract renewals, automated renewal alerts, and billing schedule generation natively. Dynamics 365 Sales has no native contract renewal engine. We migrate contract header data (dates, values, SLA tiers) as static fields on the Agreement entity, but automated renewal reminders, anniversary-based price adjustments, and contract-expiration workflows must be rebuilt in Power Automate. Billing integration with Dynamics 365 Finance or an external ERP requires separate configuration.

  • Equipment-unit relationships to multiple customer sites create N:1 mapping complexity

    Evatic allows a single equipment unit to be installed at multiple customer sites or moved between sites. Dynamics 365 custom Equipment records link to a single AccountId by default. If your Evatic deployment tracks unit moves across sites using the same unit record, we create one Equipment record per account association rather than attempting a single-record migration that would lose relationship history. This may increase total record count in Dynamics 365 but preserves the full installation audit trail.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Evatic to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales data migration

  1. Audit Evatic schema and map to Dataverse custom entity design

    FlitStack extracts Evatic's full object schema via API — customers, contacts, contracts, units, work orders, resources, products, and invoices. We compare the schema against your Dynamics 365 environment to identify which entities are standard (Account, Contact, Invoice) and which require custom table creation (Agreement, Equipment, WorkOrder). If your Dynamics 365 environment is on Sales Professional, we flag the custom-table count during this phase to confirm licensing requirements before any data moves.

  2. Resolve Evatic Resources to Dynamics 365 Users by email

    Evatic Resource records (technicians, dispatchers) are matched by email address against your Dynamics 365 user directory. Active technicians with Dynamics 365 licenses receive OwnerId assignments on their migrated work orders. Resources without a corresponding Dynamics 365 user account are migrated as Contact records tagged with a Role__c custom field. Unmatched Resources are flagged in a pre-migration report so your team can decide whether to create the corresponding user accounts or accept the Contact-based fallback.

  3. Migrate accounts and contacts before custom entities

    Dataverse enforces referential integrity — custom entities like Agreement and Equipment hold AccountId lookups. We sequence the migration so Account and Contact records land first (with source system IDs stored in custom fields for lookup resolution). Once accounts and contacts are committed, custom entities (Agreement, Equipment, WorkOrder) are migrated with validated foreign keys. Products and Invoice records follow, with AccountId lookups resolved against the committed account set.

  4. Run sample migration with field-level diff on 100–500 records

    A representative slice of Evatic records — spanning customers, contracts, units, work orders, and invoices — migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff report comparing source values against destination field values so you can verify Agreement mapping, Equipment linkage, WorkOrder owner resolution, and SLA tier field population before the full run commits. Any mapping errors surface here, not during production cutover.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup window at go-live

    The full Evatic dataset migrates to Dynamics 365 using Dataverse bulk import. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window opens after initial commit, capturing any work orders completed, contracts modified, or units moved during the cutover. FlitStack generates an audit log of every record operation and offers one-click rollback if reconciliation against the Evatic delta report reveals missing or duplicated records.

Weaknesses

  • Public review corpus is very small — Capterra lists only 2 reviews, limiting independent validation.
  • API documentation is gated behind partner credentials at docs.asolvi.com.
  • Pricing is sales-led with only a $175/month starting reference and no detailed tier breakdown.
  • DATEV accounting integration creates regional lock-in that complicates non-European migrations.
  • Industry narrowness — outside MPS/equipment service the data model is overkill or misaligned.
