Overview

What this migration involves

Evatic is a service management platform built around field operations — it models contracts, service agreements, assets, work orders, technician schedules, and site locations as first-class entities. Most Evatic customers use it for managed print, HVAC, or equipment-service businesses where the core workflow is dispatching technicians to client sites. Freshsales is Freshworks' AI-powered sales CRM: it models Leads, Contacts, Accounts, and Deals with lifecycle stages, built-in phone/email/chat, and Freddy AI for lead scoring and deal insights. The migration challenge is that Evatic's service-centric data model has no direct counterpart in Freshsales — there are no native Asset, WorkOrder, or Contract objects. We handle this by mapping Evatic contracts to Freshsales Deals with custom fields for SLA terms, mapping Evatic assets and locations to custom fields on Accounts, and mapping Evatic service history to deal activity records. Evatic's technician and engineer data maps to Freshsales Users for assignment tracking. Workflows, dispatch rules, and scheduling automations in Evatic do not migrate — they must be rebuilt in Freshsales' workflow builder or exported as documentation for your implementation team. We use Evatic's API export and Freshsales' REST API for the migration, with bulk import for high-volume record sets.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

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

Freshsales logo

Freshsales

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest barrier to entry among major CRMs — the free tier supports up to 3 users and includes core CRM functionality before committing to per-seat pricing.
  • Built-in chat, email, and phone reduce reliance on third-party integrations for basic sales communication and contact management.
  • Freddy AI contact scoring and deal insights are included on Pro plans at a lower price than comparable HubSpot tiers.
  • Kanban pipeline views across Contacts, Accounts, and Deals provide visual deal management without requiring custom configuration.
  • Integration with the broader Freshworks ecosystem (Freshdesk, Freshchat, Freshservice) reduces tool sprawl for teams already using Freshworks.

Object mapping

How Evatic objects map to Freshsales

Each row shows how a Evatic 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.

Evatic

Contact / Customer

maps to

Freshsales

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic customer records (name, email, phone, address) map directly to Freshsales Contacts. Multi-site customers with multiple Evatic records per entity collapse to one primary Contact in Freshsales, with additional site-specific data stored as custom fields on the related Account for complete visibility.

Evatic

Contract / Service Agreement

maps to

Freshsales

Deal

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic contracts — including SLA terms, response-time commitments, contract value, and start/end dates — map to Freshsales Deals. SLA-specific fields (response time, resolution time, contract type) become custom fields on the Deal. One Evatic contract = one Deal in Freshsales with a linked Account.

Evatic

Account / Company

maps to

Freshsales

Account

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic company records map to Freshsales Accounts. Company-level fields (name, address, industry, employee count) migrate directly. Evatic's multi-site structure (if the same company has multiple service locations) maps to a primary Account with site-specific data stored as custom fields or in a custom Site object.

Evatic

Site / Location

maps to

Freshsales

Account (custom fields) or Custom Object

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic sites represent physical locations with addresses, site contacts, and service scope per location. These map as custom fields on the related Freshsales Account (Site_Address__c, Site_Contact__c, Site_Service_Scope__c) or as a custom Site object if the Evatic setup has complex per-location service histories.

Evatic

Asset / Equipment

maps to

Freshsales

Account (custom fields) or Custom Object

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic assets (serial number, model, install date, warranty expiry, service history) have no Freshsales native equivalent. We create Asset__c custom fields on the linked Account for key asset metadata, and map service history as Activity records or Deal notes. Complex asset hierarchies can use a custom Asset object.

Evatic

Work Order / Job

maps to

Freshsales

Deal Activity or Deal Notes

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic work orders and service jobs — job status, assigned technician, scheduled date, completed work, parts used — map to Freshsales Deal Activities (Tasks with custom fields for job type, parts, and resolution) and Deal notes for narrative summaries. Closed work orders preserve their final status and outcome.

Evatic

Technician / Engineer

maps to

Freshsales

User

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic technician records map to Freshsales Users by email match. Unmatched technicians are flagged — they can be invited to Freshsales or their assignments are migrated as text fields on the related work-order activity. Freshsales User role and profile determine access after migration.

Evatic

Contract Line Item / Service Line

maps to

Freshsales

Deal Product or Deal custom fields

many:1
Fully supported

Evatic contract line items with individual service items, quantities, and pricing merge into Freshsales Deal Products (if the line has a product-like structure) or into custom multi-select fields on the Deal capturing scope of service. Pricing details from Evatic lines map to Deal amount or custom currency fields.

Evatic

Service History / Activity Log

maps to

Freshsales

Task / Event / Note

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic service history entries — site visits, repairs, maintenance calls, parts replaced — map to Freshsales Tasks and Notes. Each entry preserves the original timestamp, technician owner, linked Account/Deal, service date, work summary performed, and final outcome for complete historical traceability.

Evatic

Custom Objects / Custom Fields

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Fields

1:1
Mapping required

Evatic custom fields on any object (contracts, assets, sites, work orders) map to Freshsales custom fields using the same field type where available. Pick-list values require value-by-value mapping; text fields map directly; date/datetime fields preserve original timestamps as custom datetime fields.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Evatic asset and contract data has no native Freshsales equivalent

    Freshsales has no Asset or Contract objects. Evatic assets (serial numbers, models, install dates) and SLA terms (response times, resolution commitments) must be stored as custom fields on Accounts and Deals. We create these fields during migration but your Freshsales admin must confirm field visibility and layout assignment before go-live. Missing this step means contract terms appear only in report exports, not in the CRM UI where reps work. This is the most common post-migration support issue we see.

  • Multi-site accounts require manual consolidation decisions

    Evatic allows one company to have multiple service sites, each with its own address and site-level contact. Freshsales Accounts have a single primary address. We map each Evatic site as a custom field on the Account, but if you need site-level reporting or site-specific service history in Freshsales, you need a custom Site object or a junction between Accounts and a Sites custom object. This schema decision must be made before the migration plan is finalized.

  • Freshsales built-in phone numbers do not transfer from Evatic

    Freshsales includes built-in phone powered by Freshcaller on all paid plans. If your team uses Evatic's telephony integration for outbound calling, those existing phone numbers and call recordings do not migrate to Freshsales. You must provision new Freshsales phone numbers or port existing numbers separately through Freshcaller. Evatic call history migrates as activity notes with call summaries in the description field, but actual call recordings require separate file extraction and re-hosting in Freshsales Files.

  • Evatic dispatch and scheduling workflows require complete rebuild

    Evatic's core value is technician scheduling, route optimization, and job dispatch. Freshsales has no native scheduling engine. Dispatch rules, availability calendars, territory-based routing, and service-visit automation do not transfer. We export your Evatic workflow definitions as a structured document your Freshsales admin or a scheduling integration partner (e.g., Fieldd, Method, or a custom Freshsales workflow builder implementation) can use to rebuild the logic.

  • Freddy AI lead scoring requires historical data accumulation

    Freshsales Freddy AI provides contact scoring and deal insights on Pro and Enterprise plans. However, Freddy AI scoring models improve with historical data — new Freshsales accounts start with no scoring model trained on your specific sales motion. Your Evatic service data provides the historical context (which customers renewed, which contracts expanded) but Freddy AI needs Freshsales activity data (email opens, deal stage progression) to build a scoring model. Expect 4–6 weeks of Freshsales usage before Freddy AI signals become reliable.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Evatic to Freshsales data migration

  1. Audit Evatic data model and export via API

    We connect to your Evatic instance via API to enumerate all standard and custom objects, field types, and pick-list values. We inventory contracts, assets, sites, work orders, service history records, and technician data. This audit identifies custom field count, multi-site configurations, and any non-standard Evatic extensions that affect the migration scope. You receive a data inventory report before mapping begins.

  2. Design Freshsales schema with custom fields and objects

    Based on the Evatic audit, we design the Freshsales schema: creating SLA_Response_Time__c and SLA_Resolution_Time__c on Deals, Asset_Serial_Number__c and Warranty_Expiry__c on Accounts, Site_Name__c and Site_Address__c for multi-site accounts, and any custom objects needed for complex asset hierarchies. We deliver a schema setup plan so your Freshsales admin can pre-create fields or we create them via API during the migration run.

  3. Resolve owners and link entities by email match

    Evatic technicians and service contacts resolve to Freshsales Users by email match. We run an owner-resolution pass against your Freshsales user list to identify matching technicians. Unmatched technicians are flagged — you either invite them to Freshsales before migration or their assignments migrate as text fields on activity records. Accounts and Contacts resolve via company name and email domain matching to prevent duplicate records.

  4. Run sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice of Evatic records — typically 100–500 covering contracts, assets, sites, work orders, and service history — migrates to Freshsales in a test run. We generate a field-level diff showing source value versus destination field for every mapped column. You verify SLA field mapping, site consolidation logic, and work-order-to-task transformation before the full migration commits.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup cutover

    Full migration runs against Freshsales using Evatic's API export and Freshsales REST API with bulk import for high-volume record sets. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any Evatic records modified during cutover. Audit log records every operation. One-click rollback reverts the Freshsales instance to its pre-migration state if reconciliation fails. Post-migration, we deliver a reconciliation report comparing record counts and field-level totals between Evatic and Freshsales.

Most Evatic-to-Freshsales migrations complete in 48–72 hours for setups with fewer than 50,000 records and under 20 custom fields per object. Complex migrations with multi-site accounts, extensive asset hierarchies, or 200,000+ service history rows extend to 5–10 days. The longest planning step is designing the custom-field schema for SLA terms, asset metadata, and site data — we handle that before the migration run starts.
