Migrate your Field Pros data
Field service management platform for scheduling, dispatch, and mobile-first job management. Typically chosen by HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and facilities teams who need dedicated FSM workflows over generic CRM tools.
In its favor
Why people choose Field Pros
The signal that keeps Field Pros on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Field-first design gives technicians a purpose-built mobile app that general-purpose CRMs lack, including offline mode, signature capture, and parts lookup built into the workflow.
Native scheduling and dispatch boards let managers assign jobs to technicians by territory, skill set, or availability without requiring third-party integration plugins.
Pricing tiers that scale per technician rather than per seat make FSM platforms cost-predictable for large field workforces compared to broad CRM per-user pricing.
Integrated invoicing and payment collection reduces back-office reconciliation overhead that teams otherwise manage in separate accounting tools.
Strong integrations with accounting platforms like QuickBooks and Xero reduce double-data-entry for field service businesses already using those tools.
Per-work-order or per-technician billing becomes expensive at scale, pushing organizations toward flat-seat pricing models as the field team grows.
Frequent platform updates break custom workflows and integrations, creating migration pressure when the cost of maintaining customizations exceeds the switching cost.
Limited native accounting and inventory features force businesses to maintain separate financial systems, increasing operational complexity and data entry errors.
Consolidation of point solutions toward all-in-one platforms drives migration when organizations reduce their vendor stack complexity.

What gets migrated
Field Pros object support
Object-by-object support for Field Pros migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Work Orders
Mapping requiredWork Orders are the primary FSM object; naming, lifecycle stages, and custom fields vary widely between platforms (e.g., JobEngine uses Jobs, ServiceTitan uses Work Orders). We map status enums and custom properties field-by-field at migration scoping.
Jobs
Mapping requiredMany FSM platforms call the primary job object 'Jobs' rather than Work Orders. Where the destination uses a different primary object name, we merge fields into the target's equivalent and preserve the original Work Order/Job identifier as a custom property.
Customers
Fully supportedStandard Contact/Account-style objects present in most FSM platforms. Name, phone, email, and address fields are stable across migrations with minimal transformation required.
Companies
Fully supportedBusiness accounts associated with Customers. Most FSM platforms store Company/Account data in a flat schema compatible with standard CRM account objects.
Assets
Mapping requiredAsset hierarchies (parent-child relationships, installed-at location) are handled via mapping since destination systems often flatten or omit parent-child relationships. Serial numbers and model numbers are preserved as custom properties.
Technicians
Mapping requiredTechnician records map to Users or Contacts in the destination depending on whether the technician also receives customer-facing communications. Certification and skill fields are migrated as custom properties.
Service Locations
Mapping requiredService locations tied to Assets or Customers may have a different schema in the destination. We map address, contact, and location-specific notes, and we flag any location-specific pricing rules that will not carry forward.
Invoices
Mapping requiredOpen invoices present migration risk because FSM platforms handle tax, line-item rounding, and payment status differently. We export invoices as line-item records and flag any that were partially paid or have outstanding balances for manual review before closure.
Estimates and Quotes
Mapping requiredEstimates in FSM platforms often contain bundled line items and custom pricing rules that do not map cleanly to standard quote objects. We migrate line items and flag any bundle structures that require manual recreation.
Preventive Maintenance Schedules
Not in this platformRecurring maintenance schedules are not reliably migratable because their trigger logic (time-based, meter-based, usage-based) is platform-specific and depends on Asset telemetry that does not transfer. We document the schedule rules for manual recreation.
Attachments
Mapping requiredPhotos, PDFs, and signed documents attached to Work Orders or Assets are exported as binary blobs and reattached in the destination. File naming conventions may change during migration.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom properties on Work Orders, Jobs, and Assets are migrated only if the destination schema can receive them. We flag any custom fields that reference platform-specific picklist values that have no equivalent in the target system.
Inventory and Parts
Mapping requiredParts and inventory levels map to Items or Products in the destination, but current stock quantities are approximate due to real-time inventory changes. We migrate the parts catalog and flag post-migration stock discrepancies.
Payment Records
Mapping requiredPayment transactions are migrated as financial records but not re-posted to accounting systems. Outstanding balances and partial payments require manual reconciliation review.
