Migrate your ForceManager CRM data
Mobile-first CRM for field sales teams with GPS tracking and AI insights, now operating as Sage Sales Management. Designed for teams of 2–50 reps who spend most of their day outside the office.
In its favor
Why people choose ForceManager CRM
The signal that keeps ForceManager CRM on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Mobile-first design with GPS check-ins lets field reps log visits, activities, and notes without relying on stable network coverage, directly addressing the offline-mode frustrations that plague traditional CRMs.
Users consistently praise the platform for organizing client data in a way that simplifies daily task management and improves team coordination across territories.
The AI-powered assistant and sales forecasting features provide weekly and monthly pipeline predictions that help managers allocate resources without manual spreadsheet work.
Integration with Microsoft 365 and Teams is cited as reducing friction for organizations already invested in the Microsoft ecosystem, with calendar sync and document attachment handling.
Route optimization can reduce windshield time by up to 20% according to the vendor, meaning more sales visits per day without adding headcount.
The platform lacks built-in commission tracking or automated earnings calculation, forcing field sales teams to manage rep pay in external spreadsheets or separate tools.
Workflows automation is locked behind the Business tier, pushing smaller teams toward alternatives that include automation in lower-priced plans.
Export functionality is only available from the web version — there is no bulk export capability from the mobile app, which creates friction for teams that live in the field.
Limited order management, van sales, and product catalog features compared to specialist field sales alternatives means teams with physical products often outgrow the platform.
The November 2024 acquisition by Sage Group introduced uncertainty about product roadmap direction and pricing changes that prompt teams to evaluate alternatives proactively.

Pricing tiers
ForceManager CRM pricing overview
ForceManager charges per user per month across four named tiers ranging from $19 to $65. Workflows are gated behind the Business tier, meaning teams on lower plans cannot migrate automation logic and must rebuild it manually in the destination. Add-ons are available for additional features and billed per user.

What gets migrated
ForceManager CRM object support
Object-by-object support for ForceManager CRM migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Companies (Accounts)
Fully supportedCore entity exported via the /companies endpoint. Standard fields include company name, type, rating, and responsible person. Supports extra fields prefixed with 'z_' which we treat as custom Contact properties during migration.
Contacts
Fully supportedContact records are tied to Companies and include standard fields plus z-prefixed extra fields. We map Contact fields directly to the destination Contact or Person object, preserving owner assignments.
Opportunities
Fully supportedOpportunities drive the pipeline and include stage, value, and responsible user. We map stage names and custom opportunity fields to the destination's Deals or Opportunities object, preserving historical stage progression.
Activities
Fully supportedActivities represent logged calls, meetings, and field interactions. We map activity type, date, duration, and linked Contact/Company. Activity history is replayed as Notes or Activity Timeline entries at the destination.
Events
Fully supportedCalendar events are exported separately from Activities. We map event name, date/time, location (GPS coordinates), and attendee associations to the destination's Calendar or Event object.
Tasks
Fully supportedTasks are manageable via the API and include status, due date, and assignee. We map open and completed Tasks to the destination task management object, preserving completion status and ownership.
Sales Orders
Mapping requiredSales Order and Sales Order Line entities exist in the API but represent a transactional layer some CRMs lack. Where the destination does not support Orders, we map Order data into Opportunity line items or as custom fields on Deals.
Users
Mapping requiredUser records are available via /users endpoint. Owner assignments on Companies, Contacts, and Opportunities reference User IDs. We map Users to the destination User or Team object and update record ownership via cross-reference tables.
Extra Fields (Custom Fields)
Mapping requiredAll custom fields use a 'z_' prefix in the schema. We parse these during migration scoping, extract their labels from the Fields menu, and recreate them as native custom fields at the destination, then map values across.
Views
Mapping requiredViews are available via /views endpoint and represent saved list filters. These are configuration rather than data. We document view structure for manual recreation at the destination or replicate via filter presets if the target platform supports saved view imports.
Attachments
Not in this platformFile attachments associated with Companies, Contacts, and Opportunities are not exposed via the public REST API. We flag attachment dependencies during scoping and advise customers to export these manually from the web UI prior to migration.
Workflows
Not in this platformWorkflow automation rules are Business-plan-gated and are not exposed via the API. Automation logic does not export. We document active workflows for manual rebuilding in the destination system and flag any plan-tier dependencies upfront.
Lists/Segments
Mapping requiredList membership is derived from saved views or filter criteria. We reconstruct list membership by applying the same filter logic at the destination or by creating static lists from the membership snapshot at migration time.
