Overview
FieldEdge organizes field-service data around work orders, dispatch boards, and technician scheduling — a flat operational model built for contractors running HVAC, plumbing, and electrical crews. HubSpot CRM uses a contact-deal-ticket object graph with lifecycle stages, deal pipelines, and a property system for custom fields. These models diverge at the foundation: FieldEdge has no native equivalent to HubSpot's Contacts/Leads or Deal/Opportunity objects, and HubSpot has no native work-order object. FlitStack AI bridges this gap by creating HubSpot custom objects for work orders, mapping FieldEdge customers to HubSpot Contacts, invoices to Deals with line items, and preserving technician assignments via HubSpot owner resolution. The migration pulls FieldEdge data via its CSV export endpoints and maps it into HubSpot's API using custom objects for anything outside HubSpot's standard CRM schema. Workflows, dispatch-board configurations, and automated routing rules are not migrated — those must be rebuilt in HubSpot's automation tools using the exported FieldEdge configuration as a reference. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any records modified in FieldEdge during the cutover so HubSpot reflects the final operational state at go-live.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a FieldEdge object lands in HubSpot, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
FieldEdge
FieldEdge Customer
HubSpot
HubSpot Contact + Company
1:1FieldEdge stores customer name, email, phone, and address as a flat record. FlitStack splits this into a HubSpot Contact (person) and a HubSpot Company (organization). The FieldEdge customer ID is preserved as Source_System_ID__c for reconciliation and delta-run de-duplication. Address components (street, city, state, zip) are mapped to standard HubSpot Contact address properties so geolocation and territory reporting work without additional transformation.
FieldEdge
FieldEdge Work Order
HubSpot
HubSpot Custom Object (Work_Order__c)
1:1HubSpot has no native work-order or job-ticket object. FlitStack creates a Work_Order__c custom object and maps FieldEdge work order number, status, type, scheduled date, priority, description, and service address as properties on that object. The customer contact links to the custom object via a lookup.
FieldEdge
FieldEdge Invoice
HubSpot
HubSpot Deal + Line Items
1:1FieldEdge invoices map to HubSpot Deals with Amount equal to the invoice total. Line items (parts and labor) map to HubSpot Line Items attached to the deal. Invoice status (paid/open/overdue) is preserved as a custom property on the deal since HubSpot's native Deal Stage tracks sales pipeline stages, not payment status.
FieldEdge
FieldEdge Service Agreement
HubSpot
HubSpot Product + Deal
many:1FieldEdge service agreements combine pricing, contract terms, covered equipment, and renewal dates. FlitStack maps the agreement as a HubSpot Product with the annual value stored as a custom property. The recurring revenue aspect is represented as a Deal with the renewal date as Close Date, and contract terms are preserved as custom text fields on the deal.
FieldEdge
FieldEdge Payment
HubSpot
HubSpot Deal (updates Amount or Stage)
1:1FieldEdge payments reduce the outstanding balance on an invoice. FlitStack maps a payment record as an update to the corresponding Deal: the paid amount is subtracted from the Deal Amount or the deal is moved to a 'Closed Won' stage for fully paid invoices. Partial payments are handled by adjusting the deal amount and adding a Payment_Received__c custom field.
FieldEdge
FieldEdge Equipment List
HubSpot
HubSpot Custom Object (Equipment__c)
1:1FieldEdge lets technicians attach an equipment list to a customer (model, serial number, install date). HubSpot has no native equipment object. FlitStack creates an Equipment__c custom object with properties for model, serial number, install date, and warranty expiration — linked to the customer Contact via a lookup property.
FieldEdge
FieldEdge Technician / Dispatcher
HubSpot
HubSpot Owner (User)
1:1FieldEdge technicians and dispatchers are users in the system. FlitStack resolves them by email match against HubSpot Users and assigns them as OwnerId on the corresponding Work_Order__c records. Technicians who do not have HubSpot user accounts are flagged for your team to create accounts or assign to a fallback owner before migration.
FieldEdge
FieldEdge QuickBooks Sync / Accounting Data
HubSpot
HubSpot Line Items + Custom Properties
1:1FieldEdge integrates directly with QuickBooks for invoicing and payment recording. That accounting linkage does not exist in HubSpot. FlitStack preserves the accounting context as HubSpot Line Items with custom cost and margin fields, but a new QuickBooks-to-HubSpot sync must be set up post-migration — FlitStack can provide the mapping reference for your accounting team.
FieldEdge
FieldEdge Customer Note / Technician Log
HubSpot
HubSpot Note (Activity)
1:1FieldEdge stores technician notes and customer interaction logs as flat text entries. FlitStack migrates these as HubSpot Notes attached to the Contact record, preserving the original timestamp and the technician name as the note owner. Note content is preserved verbatim.
FieldEdge
FieldEdge Dispatch Board / Schedule
HubSpot
HubSpot Tasks + Teams
1:1FieldEdge's dispatch board organizes work orders by day, technician, and region. HubSpot has no native dispatch board. FlitStack maps scheduled jobs as HubSpot Tasks with a scheduled datetime, assigned to the technician owner, and groups technicians into HubSpot Teams that reflect your FieldEdge dispatch regions.
FieldEdge
FieldEdge Marketing / Consumer Management Portal
HubSpot
HubSpot Marketing Hub (not migrated — rebuilt)
1:1FieldEdge Select and Premier tiers include consumer-facing portal features for appointment booking and service requests. HubSpot's Marketing Hub handles this differently via forms, meetings links, and the customer portal. These assets must be rebuilt in HubSpot's equivalent tools after migration.

Migration approach
Discover and inventory FieldEdge data export capabilities
FlitStack begins by mapping every FieldEdge object available for export — customers, work orders, invoices, service agreements, equipment lists, and technician records. We identify which objects are accessible via FieldEdge's CSV export endpoints and which require API calls or third-party connector access. This inventory drives the full migration plan and surfaces any FieldEdge objects that cannot be exported without manual intervention from FieldEdge support.
Design HubSpot custom objects and properties for non-standard mappings
FieldEdge work orders, equipment, and service agreements have no native HubSpot equivalent. FlitStack delivers a HubSpot schema setup plan specifying every custom object, custom property, pick-list value, and Teams structure needed. Your HubSpot admin (or our team) creates these before migration runs. We also validate your HubSpot tier — Professional or Enterprise is required for custom objects — and flag if a tier upgrade is needed before the migration window opens.
Resolve FieldEdge technician and owner records against HubSpot users
Every work-order assignment in FieldEdge references a technician or dispatcher. FlitStack resolves each one by email match against HubSpot Users. Records whose assigned technician has no HubSpot user account are flagged in a pre-migration report. Your team creates HubSpot user accounts or assigns a fallback owner for each unresolvable technician. No work-order record migrates without a confirmed HubSpot owner or an acknowledged custom-field fallback.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff on 100–500 records
A representative slice of FieldEdge records — spanning customers, work orders, invoices, and equipment — migrates to HubSpot before the full run. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values against destination values so you can verify work-order status mapping, invoice-to-deal amount accuracy, technician owner resolution, and custom-property completeness. You approve the sample before we commit to the full dataset.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and audit log
The full FieldEdge dataset migrates to HubSpot using the approved mapping plan. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any records created or modified in FieldEdge during the cutover period so HubSpot reflects the final operational state. Every migration operation is logged in an audit trail, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation identifies data integrity issues. Post-migration, your team receives a reconciliation report and the exported FieldEdge workflow definitions as a reference for rebuilding automations in HubSpot.
