Overview

What this migration involves

Fieldy is a field service management platform — its data model centers on Jobs, Customers, Locations, and line items tied to service tasks. Freshsales is a sales CRM built around Leads, Contacts, Accounts, and Deals. The two models diverge significantly: Fieldy has no native lead-conversion equivalent, its job status lifecycle has no direct Freshsales analogue, and Fieldy's per-job line-item accounting lives outside Freshsales's product catalog structure. We map Fieldy Customers to Freshsales Accounts (and Contacts), Fieldy Jobs to Freshsales Deals with custom fields for job status and technician assignment, Fieldy Locations to account address fields or custom address records, and Fieldy line items to Freshsales Products where possible or custom Deal fields where the mapping requires FSM-specific context. Attachments and timestamps migrate via CSV-based bulk load into Freshsales. Workflows, scheduling rules, and route-optimization logic have no Freshsales equivalent and must be rebuilt using Freshsales Workflows and territory management after migration.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Fieldy logo

Fieldy

What's pushing teams away

  • Lack of API documentation or public bulk export endpoint makes data portability a manual, error-prone process that frustrates teams with large historical records.
  • Limited third-party integration ecosystem compared to established FSM platforms, creating friction for businesses relying on accounting or ERP connections.
  • The white-label offering referenced in reviews suggests feature limitations that become apparent as businesses scale beyond basic field service needs.

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 Fieldy objects map to Freshsales

Each row shows how a Fieldy 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.

Fieldy

Customer

maps to

Freshsales

Account + Contact

many:1
Fully supported

Fieldy Customers map to Freshsales Accounts (business-level) and Contacts (person-level). The primary contact person on each Customer record becomes a Freshsales Contact linked to the Account. Additional contact persons from the same Customer become secondary Contacts under the Account. If a Customer has multiple site locations, we assign the primary location address to the Account, while secondary addresses are stored in a custom Locations module when available.

Fieldy

Job

maps to

Freshsales

Deal + custom fields on Deal

1:1
Fully supported

Fieldy Jobs map to Freshsales Deals with FSM-specific fields (job status, technician, service type) migrated as custom fields on the Deal. Job name becomes Deal name; job amount becomes Deal amount. Job created date preserved as a custom datetime field since Freshsales CreatedDate reflects migration time, not the original record date.

Fieldy

Location

maps to

Freshsales

Account address fields or custom Location module

1:1
Fully supported

Fieldy Locations store service-site addresses, site contacts, and access notes. These map to the Account's address fields for the primary site. Secondary or multi-site locations migrate as a Freshsales custom module record linked to the Account — a pattern ClonePartner documents for Fieldy-to-Freshsales migrations requiring multiple addresses per customer.

Fieldy

Job Line Item

maps to

Freshsales

Product + Deal Product or custom Deal field

1:many
Fully supported

Fieldy job line items (parts, labor, fees) split based on type. Service items with a unit price and quantity map to Freshsales Products and attached to the Deal via Deal Products. Flat fees or miscellaneous charges without a product catalogue entry map to a custom text field on the Deal, since Freshsales Deal Products require a product catalog entry for each line item.

Fieldy

Job Status

maps to

Freshsales

Custom pick-list field on Deal (Job_Status__c)

1:1
Fully supported

Fieldy job statuses (Scheduled, In Progress, Completed, Invoiced, Cancelled) have no Freshsales native equivalent. We create a custom pick-list field on Deal to capture the FSM job status alongside the standard Freshsales sales pipeline stage. Stage-history timestamps are preserved as separate custom datetime fields.

Fieldy

Technician / Assigned Staff

maps to

Freshsales

Custom field on Deal (Assigned_Technician__c) + Freshsales User lookup

1:1
Fully supported

Fieldy technician assignment maps to a custom text field on Deal storing the technician name. Where Fieldy technicians also exist as Freshsales users (for accounts where both tools are used), we resolve by email match and store the Freshsales User ID in a lookup field so the assignment is actionable in Freshsales.

Fieldy

Job Attachment / Photo

maps to

Freshsales

File attached to corresponding Deal or Account

1:1
Fully supported

Fieldy job photos, signatures, and PDF attachments migrate as files attached to the corresponding Freshsales Deal (for job-specific attachments) or Account (for site documentation). File size limits on Freshsales apply — files over 25MB are split or linked by URL reference.

Fieldy

Job Notes

maps to

Freshsales

Note on Deal or Account

1:1
Fully supported

Fieldy job notes migrate as Freshsales Notes attached to the corresponding Deal. Original timestamps and the note author (matched by email to a Freshsales User) are preserved. Rich-text formatting in Fieldy notes is converted to plain text to match Freshsales Note body format.

Fieldy

Custom Fields (FSM-specific)

maps to

Freshsales

Custom fields on Deal or custom Deal module

1:1
Fully supported

Fieldy custom fields on Jobs (custom form fields, service-type tags, SLA flags) migrate as Freshsales custom fields on Deal. Field types map: text fields to text, pick-lists to pick-lists, date fields to dates. Some FSM-specific field types that don't map cleanly to Freshsales field types land as text fields with a note in the mapping workbook.

Fieldy

User / Technician

maps to

Freshsales

Freshsales User (for dual-tool accounts) or custom field

1:1
Fully supported

Fieldy technicians who are also Freshsales users get resolved by email match. Unmatched technicians are flagged before migration — your team decides whether to invite them to Freshsales or assign their records to a fallback owner. No record lands in Freshsales without a resolved owner.

Fieldy

Workflow / Automation (Fieldy)

maps to

Freshsales

No equivalent — must be rebuilt in Freshsales

1:1
Fully supported

Fieldy workflow rules (auto-assignment, SLA alerts, job-status triggers) have no Freshsales equivalent and do not migrate. We export your Fieldy workflow definitions as a reference document so your Freshsales admin can rebuild them using Freshsales Workflows after migration. The exported document includes trigger conditions, action details, and any conditional logic, allowing your team to recreate each rule with minimal trial and error in Freshsales.

Fieldy

Fieldy Integrations

maps to

Freshsales

No equivalent — Freshsales integrations rebuilt separately

1:1
Fully supported

Fieldy integrations (QuickBooks, Xero, payment gateways, GPS/routing tools) have no direct Freshsales equivalent. Freshsales has its own Freshworks Marketplace integrations — these must be configured separately after migration. We flag which integrations are replacements versus which require third-party middleware. For each flagged integration, we provide a brief setup guide that includes required credentials, API endpoints, and sync frequency recommendations to streamline the post-migration configuration.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Fieldy's FSM job lifecycle has no native Freshsales equivalent — custom fields are required

    Fieldy jobs track a lifecycle (Scheduled → In Progress → Completed → Invoiced) that has no counterpart in Freshsales's sales-pipeline model. Freshsales Deals have a StageName pick-list for sales stages, not work-order statuses. We handle this by creating a custom pick-list field (Job_Status__c) on Deal for the FSM job status, while Freshsales StageName handles the sales pipeline independently. Your admin should understand that Job_Status__c and StageName are tracked in parallel — one represents the FSM work order state, the other represents where the associated deal sits in the sales cycle.

  • Fieldy's CSV export lacks a documented public API — bulk mapping depends on export completeness

    Fieldy's public REST API is not documented for customer-facing data export in the same way as Freshsales or Salesforce. Migration relies on Fieldy's CSV export functionality, which may not expose all custom fields, historical job status transitions, or technician assignment logs in a single pass. We run a pre-migration audit of the Fieldy export to confirm all required fields are present in CSV before building the mapping workbook. Any fields absent from the export are flagged and resolved either by requesting additional export fields from Fieldy support or by accepting a partial migration of those records.

  • Multi-location Fieldy accounts require a custom module plan in Freshsales

    Fieldy Locations allow multiple service-site addresses per customer account. Freshsales Accounts have a single billing address and shipping address by default. We map the primary Fieldy Location to the Account's billing address, but secondary locations require either a custom Locations module (Enterprise) or a custom text field storing additional site addresses as a formatted string. The migration plan documents which approach applies based on your Freshsales plan tier and the number of multi-location accounts in Fieldy.

  • Freshsales Pro plan is required for territory management and multi-pipeline support — base Growth lacks these

    Fieldy teams running multiple service lines or regions often need Freshsales multi-pipeline and territory management to model each line as its own sales process. These features are locked behind Freshsales Pro ($39/user/month) and Enterprise ($59). Teams on Freshsales Growth ($9) will have a single pipeline and no territory management after migration. We surface this as a configuration requirement before migration runs and note which Freshsales plan supports your pipeline-count requirement.

  • Fieldy integrations with QuickBooks, Xero, or payment gateways must be rebuilt in Freshworks Marketplace

    Fieldy's native integrations with accounting platforms (QuickBooks, Xero), payment processors, and GPS/routing tools do not have Freshsales equivalents. After migration, your team must configure Freshworks Marketplace integrations or equivalent third-party connectors to restore these connections. We provide a connection-matrix document listing each Fieldy integration and its recommended Freshsales replacement or third-party middleware (Zapier, Make) so nothing is missed during cutover. We recommend reviewing each integration's API capabilities and verifying data sync requirements before enabling the replacement. For complex cases such as real-time payment processing, a dedicated middleware solution may be required to maintain transaction continuity.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Fieldy to Freshsales data migration

  1. Audit Fieldy export and design Freshsales schema

    We run a pre-migration audit against your Fieldy account: exporting sample records from Customers, Jobs, Locations, and Line Items to confirm CSV field coverage. Any custom fields absent from the export are flagged. Based on the audit, we design the Freshsales custom field set — Job_Status__c, Assigned_Technician__c, Service_Type__c, Priority__c, and others — before any data lands. A schema setup plan is delivered so your Freshsales admin can pre-create the fields.

  2. Build the mapping workbook with FSM field decisions

    We build a field-level mapping workbook covering every Fieldy object and custom field. FSM-specific decisions are documented: job status → Job_Status__c, technician assignment → Assigned_Technician__c or User lookup, service type → Service_Type__c, line items → Products plus Deal Products. The workbook is reviewed with your team before migration runs so no mapping decision is a surprise on cutover day. We also include a glossary of Freshsales field names, data type references, and validation rules so your admin can pre-validate any values that may require transformation before loading.

  3. Resolve owners and cross-reference Freshsales users

    Fieldy technicians and account managers are resolved by email match against Freshsales users. Unmatched users are flagged — your team either invites them to Freshsales before migration or assigns their records to a fallback owner. We flag any Fieldy customer records that have no corresponding email in Freshsales, so these can be assigned manually rather than orphaning records in Freshsales.

  4. Run sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice (typically 200–500 records spanning Customers, Jobs, Locations, and Line Items) migrates first. We generate a field-level diff showing the source value, mapped value, and destination field so you can verify FSM field mapping — especially job status and technician assignment — before the full run commits. Approval of the sample migration is required before we proceed to full load.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup window

    Full migration runs against Freshsales using CSV bulk load. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any Fieldy records modified during the cutover. Freshsales workflows, territory rules, and automation are activated after migration completes. The audit log records every operation, and one-click rollback is available for 72 hours post-migration if reconciliation reveals unexpected field mapping results. During the delta window, any new jobs created in Fieldy are imported into Freshsales before the final sync, ensuring a zero-gap cutover for active service schedules.
