Overview

What this migration involves

Evatic is a service-management and field-service CRM built around a tightly integrated contract, equipment, and work-order data model. Evatic stores service agreements (SLA and contract terms), equipment/unit records (serial numbers, maintenance schedules, model hierarchies), work orders (status, priority, assigned engineer, site location, parts consumed), and field-technician activity logs within one operational stack. Its export layer is Evatic Connect, which supports file-based and API-based data pulls for integrations and migrations. Twenty CRM is a general-purpose open-source CRM built on React, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL. Its standard objects are People (contacts and leads), Companies, Opportunities, Notes, and Tasks. Twenty has no native field-service objects — service-agreement records, equipment assets, and work orders must be modeled as custom objects or mapped to existing Twenty objects with additional fields. Twenty exposes a REST and GraphQL API with a 100–200 requests per minute rate limit depending on plan, plus CSV import via the UI. FlitStack AI extracts Evatic data via Evatic Connect exports, transforms Evatic's service-specific objects into Twenty custom objects, maps all standard contact and company fields, preserves original create and update timestamps, resolves owner assignments by email match against Twenty workspace members, and delivers a delta-pickup window capturing any records modified during cutover. Workflows, SLA escalation rules, and technician-routing logic do not migrate — FlitStack exports Evatic workflow definitions as a rebuild reference for Twenty's workflow builder.

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

Twenty CRM logo

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 Evatic objects map to Twenty CRM

Each row shows how a Evatic 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.

Evatic

Customer / Contact

maps to

Twenty CRM

People

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic stores customer contact records with name, email, phone, and address fields. These map 1:1 to Twenty's People object. The primary contact's email is used as the unique identifier for owner resolution against Twenty workspace members. Multi-contact accounts are preserved by importing all contacts with the same companyId reference.

Evatic

Company

maps to

Twenty CRM

Companies

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic company records map directly to Twenty's Companies object. Company name, industry, website, address, and employee count fields translate directly. Parent-company hierarchies in Evatic are preserved via a custom parentCompanyId field or by importing in dependency order — parent records first, then children.

Evatic

Service Agreement

maps to

Twenty CRM

ServiceContract (custom object)

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic service agreements track SLA terms, contract start/end dates, billing cycles, and coverage scope. Twenty has no native contract-management object. FlitStack creates a ServiceContract custom object in Twenty with fields for contract type, SLA tier, start date, end date, and billing frequency. Contract records import after Companies so the companyId lookup resolves correctly.

Evatic

Unit / Equipment

maps to

Twenty CRM

EquipmentAsset (custom object)

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic stores equipment and unit records with serial numbers, model numbers, install dates, warranty expiration, and maintenance schedules. These map to a custom EquipmentAsset object in Twenty with fields for serial number, model, manufacturer, install date, warranty expiry, and a relation back to the owning Company. Equipment hierarchies (parent unit → sub-assembly) use a self-referential parentUnitId field.

Evatic

Work Order

maps to

Twenty CRM

WorkOrder (custom object)

1:1
Fully supported

Work orders are the central Evatic entity — tracking status, priority, scheduled date, assigned technician, site location, description, parts used, and time spent. These map to a custom WorkOrder object in Twenty. Key fields include workOrderNumber (unique), status, priority, scheduledDate, assignedTechnicianId (lookup to Twenty workspace member), companyId (lookup to Companies), equipmentId (lookup to EquipmentAsset), description, partsUsed (text area), and timeLogged.

Evatic

Work Order Line Item

maps to

Twenty CRM

WorkOrderLineItem (custom object via WorkOrder)

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic work orders can contain multiple line items — parts consumed, labor entries, and travel charges. These translate to a WorkOrderLineItem custom object with a relation to WorkOrder. Each line has a type (part/labor/travel), description, quantity, unit cost, and total. If Evatic stores line items as nested fields rather than separate records, FlitStack denormalizes them into individual WorkOrderLineItem rows per work order.

Evatic

Activity (calls, emails, site visits)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Tasks / Notes

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic logs technician activities — site visit reports, call summaries, email threads — as structured event records with timestamps and owners. These map to Twenty's Tasks (for action items and call logs) and Notes (for site-visit reports and longer narrative entries). Original activity timestamps are preserved in a custom activityLoggedAt field on both Task and Note records so historical sequence is intact.

Evatic

Opportunity / Deal

maps to

Twenty CRM

Opportunities

1:1
Fully supported

If Evatic stores pre-contract sales opportunities alongside service records, those map directly to Twenty's Opportunities object. Opportunity name, amount, stage, expected close date, and owner map to the equivalent Twenty Opportunity fields. If Evatic does not track opportunities separately from service contracts, this object mapping is omitted and the pipeline is handled via custom ServiceContract status fields.

Evatic

Attachment / File

maps to

Twenty CRM

Notes (with file attachment)

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic files attached to work orders (photos, signed forms, PDF reports) are downloaded and re-uploaded as Twenty Notes with the file attached. The Note body links back to the parent record (WorkOrder or EquipmentAsset) via Twenty's standard relation mechanism. File size limits are respected per Twenty's storage configuration.

Evatic

Custom Field (on any Evatic entity)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom field on corresponding Twenty object

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic custom fields on any entity — service agreements, equipment, work orders — require a corresponding custom field in Twenty's Settings → Data Model before import. FlitStack audits the Evatic custom field inventory, creates all required fields in Twenty first, then maps values during the import run. Field types are translated: Evatic text fields map to Twenty TEXT, pick-lists to SELECT, dates to DATE, numbers to NUMBER.

Evatic

Owner / Technician

maps to

Twenty CRM

Workspace Member (People)

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic technicians and work-order owners are user records with email addresses. Twenty requires workspace members to be invited and active before owner lookups can resolve. FlitStack matches Evatic technician emails against Twenty workspace members by email — unmatched owners are flagged before migration and assigned to a fallback Twenty user or a dedicated 'Unassigned' technician record.

Evatic

Workflow / SLA Rule

maps to

Twenty CRM

No equivalent — manual rebuild

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic SLA escalation rules, automated technician dispatch triggers, and contract-renewal alerts do not have a direct equivalent in Twenty's workflow builder. FlitStack exports Evatic workflow definitions as a structured JSON rebuild reference document. Twenty's workflow builder supports trigger-based automations (record create, field update, status change) but SLA countdown and routing logic must be rebuilt using Twenty workflows or an external automation layer.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Twenty has no native field-service schema — service entities require custom objects before import

    Evatic's service-management model is built around service agreements, equipment units, and work orders. Twenty CRM ships with People, Companies, Opportunities, Notes, and Tasks as standard objects — there is no built-in ServiceContract, EquipmentAsset, or WorkOrder entity. FlitStack creates these custom objects in Twenty's Settings → Data Model before the migration run, but the schema must be fully defined and saved in Twenty before any CSV import can succeed. If custom fields are missing, the import will silently skip those columns. We flag all missing fields before import begins.

  • Twenty's CSV import enforces a 20,000-record per-export cap — large Evatic datasets need batching

    Twenty's UI-based CSV import supports up to 20,000 records per export file. Evatic work-order histories frequently exceed this limit for active service operations. FlitStack splits large Evatic exports into 20,000-record batches, adds an import sequence marker to each batch, and re-orders batches to preserve foreign-key dependencies (Companies → People → ServiceContracts → EquipmentAssets → WorkOrders). Batches are processed in sequence so parent records exist before child records that reference them.

  • SLA escalation rules and automated dispatch triggers do not exist in Twenty's workflow builder

    Evatic SLA escalation rules trigger notifications or escalations when work-order response or resolution times breach contract thresholds. Automated dispatch rules assign work orders to technicians based on location, skill, or availability. Twenty's workflow builder supports trigger-based automations (record creation, field update, status change) but has no native SLA countdown timer or geospatial technician-routing capability. We export Evatic workflow definitions as a structured JSON document so your team can rebuild the logic in Twenty's workflow builder or an external automation layer. This is manual work — plan 2–4 weeks for SLA rule reconstruction.

  • Evatic Connect export order must respect foreign-key dependencies — companies before contacts before work orders

    Evatic Connect exports each object independently, which means work-order records that reference equipment IDs or contract IDs will import as orphaned records if the parent entities haven't landed yet in Twenty. The import sequence is critical: Companies → People → ServiceContracts → EquipmentAssets → WorkOrders → WorkOrderLineItems → Tasks/Notes. We generate the exact import order and validate all foreign-key references resolve before each batch commits. Import failures due to missing parent records are retried automatically after the parent batch completes.

  • Twenty's API rate limit (100–200 req/min) affects large dataset sync if using API-based import

    Twenty's Pro plan exposes REST and GraphQL APIs at 100 requests per minute per workspace, rising to 200 requests per minute on Organization. If your migration strategy uses the Twenty API for bulk inserts rather than CSV import, FlitStack implements exponential backoff and request queuing to stay within the rate ceiling. The CSV import path via Twenty's UI does not consume API quota and is the default path for migrations under 20,000 records — above that, we use batched API calls with rate-limit handling.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Evatic to Twenty CRM data migration

  1. Audit Evatic data via Evatic Connect exports

    FlitStack connects to your Evatic instance and runs parallel exports of all core objects: Customers, Companies, Service Agreements, Units/Equipment, Work Orders, and Work Order Line Items. We also extract custom field definitions, owner/technician user lists, and any attached files. The export produces a manifest of record counts, field inventories, and relationship graphs so we can scope the migration accurately before a single record lands in Twenty.

  2. Build Twenty custom objects and fields for Evatic service entities

    Before any data moves, FlitStack creates the ServiceContract, EquipmentAsset, WorkOrder, and WorkOrderLineItem custom objects in Twenty's Settings → Data Model, plus all required custom fields on each object. We map Evatic pick-list values to Twenty SELECT options, configure date and number field types correctly, and set up lookup relations between objects. Twenty requires fields to exist before import — this step is completed and verified before the migration run proceeds.

  3. Resolve Evatic technicians and owners to Twenty workspace members

    Evatic work orders carry technician and owner assignments. FlitStack matches Evatic user email addresses against Twenty workspace members. Users with matching emails resolve automatically to the correct Twenty member. Unmatched technicians are flagged before migration — your team either invites them to Twenty first or assigns a fallback technician record. No work order commits to Twenty without a resolved owner reference.

  4. Run sequenced sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice of 200–500 records — covering contacts, companies, service agreements, equipment, and work orders — migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff report comparing source values against Twenty record values so you can verify SLA tier mapping, equipment serial number mapping, work-order status mapping, and owner resolution before the full run. You sign off on the sample before the full migration proceeds.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup and rollback capability

    Full migration runs in dependency order: Companies first, then People with companyId lookups resolved, then ServiceContracts, EquipmentAssets, WorkOrders, and WorkOrderLineItems. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window captures any records created or updated in Evatic during the cutover. FlitStack maintains a full audit log of every operation. If reconciliation fails — missing records, broken lookups, or field-value mismatches — one-click rollback reverts the Twenty workspace to its pre-migration state.

Strengths

  • Industry-specific MPS data model (Asset / Unit / Meter Read / Contract / Work Order) maps directly to print dealer workflows.
  • Telemetry integration via device collection agents enables proactive preventive maintenance scheduling.
  • Integrated contract entitlement enforcement at the dispatch and service report stages.
  • Documented integrations with Salesforce (CRM), DATEV (accounting), Princity (ITSM), and ServiceNow.
  • Owned by Asolvi, a 30+ year specialist in the office print and equipment service vertical.

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.

Strengths

  • AGPL-3.0 open-source license with full source code on GitHub — no vendor lock-in, no sunset risk.
  • Unlimited users and unlimited custom objects on self-hosted, with no feature gating based on headcount.
  • REST and GraphQL APIs available on all paid tiers, not locked behind an enterprise add-on fee.
  • MCP server and webhooks shipped as standard features, not premium upgrades.
  • Modern PostgreSQL-backed data model that developer teams can query, extend, and self-host.

Weaknesses

  • Recent v1.0 release means limited production hardening compared to CRMs with multi-year operational track records.
  • No native email sequencing or sales engagement tools — follow-up cadences require a separate platform.
  • No native two-way email sync or inbox integration, requiring third-party connectors for full activity logging.
  • Self-hosting 'free' pricing hides real infrastructure and DevOps costs that stack up over time.
  • Workflow automation is functional but lacks the complexity needed for sophisticated multi-step sales motions.

Most Evatic-to-Twenty migrations complete in 48–72 hours for under 25,000 total records. Larger datasets with 250,000+ records or complex multi-level equipment hierarchies extend to 7–10 days. The longest planning step is designing the custom object schema in Twenty (ServiceContract, EquipmentAsset, WorkOrder) — we complete that before any data moves so the import path is clear. During the migration, FlitStack follows a strict import order, creates all required custom fields, resolves owner assignments by email match, and runs a delta-pickup window to capture any changes made in Evatic during cutover.
