Overview
FieldAware by GPS Insight is a field service management platform built around customers, locations, jobs, assets, and invoices — a data model optimized for dispatch, scheduling, and mobile-first field operations. Monday CRM is a sales CRM built on the Work OS board architecture, with native People (contacts), Organizations (companies), Deals (pipeline), and Inbox entities plus fully customizable boards and columns. The two platforms share virtually no object-level equivalents for the FSM core, so migration requires mapping FieldAware jobs to custom Monday Work Orders boards, FieldAware assets to custom Asset boards, and FieldAware invoices to a custom billing board linked to the customer organization. Monday CRM has no native work-order lifecycle, no built-in asset register, and no location-hierarchy concept — those must be reconstructed as custom board structures. FieldAware workflows, schedule-optimization rules, and route-dispatch automations have no equivalent in Monday CRM and must be rebuilt using Monday Automations or the native recipe system. The migration uses FieldAware's Open API (REST/JSON at api.fieldaware.net) to read customers, contacts, jobs, assets, and invoices, then writes to Monday CRM via the monday.com GraphQL API respecting per-plan daily rate limits (1,000 calls/day on Basic/Standard, 10,000 on Pro). We sequence the migration so master data — customers and contacts — lands first, followed by assets, then work orders and invoices referencing those parents. Any records modified in FieldAware during the cutover window are picked up in a delta run so Monday reflects the true final state at go-live.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a FieldAware by GPS Insight object lands in monday CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
FieldAware by GPS Insight
Customer
monday CRM
Organization
1:1FieldAware Customers map 1:1 to Monday CRM Organizations. The Organization Name and billing address carry over directly. FieldAware parent/child customer hierarchies with multiple locations must be decomposed — the primary customer becomes the Organization, and child customers become separate Organizations linked via a Group column or a custom Location board.
FieldAware by GPS Insight
Contact
monday CRM
Person
1:1FieldAware Contacts map to Monday CRM People. Email, phone, and role fields carry over directly. Contacts without an email address are flagged for manual review since Monday requires an email for the Person record. A FieldAware Contact can be linked to multiple FieldAware Customers (N:N) — Monday CRM People support one primary Organization, with secondary links handled via the Contact Info board or a custom Group.
FieldAware by GPS Insight
Location
monday CRM
Custom Location Board (linked to Organization)
1:1FieldAware Locations are sub-entities of Customer with address, geocoordinates, and site-name fields. Monday CRM has no native location hierarchy — we create a Locations board where each item represents a site and link it to the parent Organization via a connect boards column or Organization ID column. Address fields are stored as structured text (Address, City, State, ZIP, Country) across multiple columns.
FieldAware by GPS Insight
Job (Work Order)
monday CRM
Custom Work Orders Board (or Deal)
1:1FieldAware Jobs are the core FSM entity with customer, location, technician, status, job type, schedule, and parts fields. Monday CRM has no native work order object — we create a Work Orders board with status columns (Scheduled, In Progress, Completed, Cancelled), type columns (Maintenance, Repair, Installation), technician columns (People), and parts columns (Numbers or Items). Jobs that represent a billable service opportunity can alternatively become Deals with the work order board linked via a connect boards column.
FieldAware by GPS Insight
Asset
monday CRM
Custom Assets Board
1:1FieldAware Assets track equipment at a location with make, model, serial number, install date, and maintenance history. Monday CRM has no native asset register — we create an Assets board with columns for asset name, location (connect boards to Location board), make/model, serial number, install date, and last service date. Asset maintenance history is stored as subitems or timeline entries within the Asset item.
FieldAware by GPS Insight
Invoice
monday CRM
Custom Invoices Board (linked to Organization)
1:1FieldAware Invoices contain invoice number, customer reference, billing amount, status (Draft, Sent, Paid, Void), and line items. Monday CRM has no native invoice object — we create an Invoices board with columns for invoice number, organization link, amount, status, due date, and paid date. Paid invoices are linked to the corresponding Work Order item via a connect boards column so teams can see which service generated the revenue.
FieldAware by GPS Insight
Quote
monday CRM
Deal
1:1FieldAware Quotes map to Monday CRM Deals. The quote name becomes the Deal name, estimated amount maps to the Deal Amount, and status (Open, Accepted, Declined) maps to the Monday Deal stage. Monday's native Deals pipeline view replaces FieldAware's quote board, giving teams a visual Kanban of their open quotes.
FieldAware by GPS Insight
Task
monday CRM
Task
1:1FieldAware Tasks map directly to Monday CRM Tasks. The task name, due date, assigned user, and description carry over. Tasks linked to a specific Job are stored as subitems of the Work Order item in the custom Work Orders board to maintain the relationship to the service event.
FieldAware by GPS Insight
Custom Field
monday CRM
Custom Column
1:1FieldAware custom field declarations (Text, Number, CheckBox, Dropdown, Date, Time) on Jobs, Customers, Contacts, Assets, and Invoices map to Monday custom columns in the corresponding board. Dropdown custom fields in FieldAware become Dropdown columns in Monday, with the same option values carried over. Date and Time fields become Date columns. Number fields become Numbers columns. CheckBox fields become Checkbox columns.
FieldAware by GPS Insight
Item (Parts/Inventory)
monday CRM
Product Table (linked to Deal) or Custom Items Board
1:1FieldAware Items (parts and services used on jobs) with name, part number, description, and unit price map to Monday CRM's Product Table entries linked to Deals. For inventory tracking purposes, a custom Items board is created with columns for name, part number, description, unit price, and quantity on hand.
FieldAware by GPS Insight
User
monday CRM
User (by email)
1:1FieldAware Users are matched to Monday CRM users by email address. Unmatched users are flagged before migration — your team invites them to Monday CRM or assigns their records to a fallback owner. This applies to all FieldAware roles (Technician, Dispatcher, Admin) that need to appear as Monday assignees on Work Order items.
FieldAware by GPS Insight
Attachment / File
monday CRM
File Attachment
1:1FieldAware file attachments on jobs, customers, and invoices are downloaded and re-uploaded to Monday CRM as file attachments on the corresponding board item. Monday's file storage limits per plan apply — Enterprise plans offer larger per-file limits. Images embedded in FieldAware notes are downloaded and re-hosted as Monday file attachments.

Migration approach
Analyze FieldAware data model and design Monday board structure
FlitStack AI reads your FieldAware account via the Open API (api.fieldaware.net) to inventory every entity type: customers, locations, contacts, jobs, assets, invoices, quotes, tasks, and custom field declarations. We cross-reference these against Monday CRM's native entities (People, Organizations, Deals, Tasks) and the board architecture to determine which FieldAware objects become native Monday entities and which require custom boards. The output is a migration plan document listing every Monday board to be created, every column to be added, and every field mapping rule before any data moves.
Create Monday boards and columns matching the mapped schema
Before writing data, our team (or your Monday admin) creates the Work Orders board, Assets board, Invoices board, and Locations board in Monday CRM with all required columns — Status, Type, Priority, Assigned To (People), Scheduled Start/End (Date), Location Link (Connect Boards), Organization Link (Connect Boards), and any custom columns replicating FieldAware custom fields. We then map FieldAware custom field declarations (Text, Number, CheckBox, Dropdown, Date) to Monday column types (Text, Numbers, Checkbox, Dropdown, Date). This step runs in parallel with owner matching.
Export FieldAware data and transform for Monday API format
Using FieldAware's Open API, we export customers, locations, contacts, jobs, assets, invoices, and quotes in JSON. Each record is transformed to match the Monday board item or CRM entity format — FieldAware customer IDs are replaced with Monday Organization IDs (or stored as a custom column for cross-reference), location records are linked to organizations via connect boards columns, and job records are structured as Work Order board items with technician assignments resolved by email match against Monday users. We apply Monday's API rate limit throttling (1,000 calls/day on Basic, 10,000 on Pro) from the outset so the migration runs within your plan's capacity.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 200–500 records spanning 5–10 customers, their contacts and locations, 50–100 work orders, and 10–20 assets — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff showing every source value mapped to every destination column so you can verify customer-to-organization linkage, job status mapping, technician assignment, and asset location linkage before the full run. This is the validation checkpoint: if the Monday board structure needs adjustment, we revise and re-run the sample before committing to the full dataset.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full record set migrates to Monday CRM using batched API writes that respect rate limits. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) runs simultaneously, capturing any FieldAware records created or updated during the migration window — work orders completed by technicians in the field, new customer sign-ups, or invoices issued. FlitStack AI logs every operation to an audit record. If reconciliation shows discrepancies, one-click rollback reverts Monday to the pre-migration state while your team continues working in FieldAware throughout.
