Migrate your FRONTU data
Field service management platform for mobile workforces in heavy machinery sectors. Manages jobs, technicians, routes, and real-time task dispatch with a web admin portal and a field mobile app.
In its favor
Why people choose FRONTU
The signal that keeps FRONTU on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Mobile-first task management with a technician-facing app that works offline and syncs when connectivity returns, making it practical for field crews in remote locations.
Precise employee scheduling and route planning reduces drive time and helps dispatchers assign the right technician to the right job based on location and skill set.
Real-time visibility into job status, customer histories, and inventory levels means back-office staff and technicians stay aligned without constant phone calls or check-in messages.
Strong G2 rating and recognition as #1 User Friendly FSM platform indicates low friction onboarding for field teams with limited technology experience.
Industry focus on heavy machinery (farming, construction, material handling, forestry) means the data model is pre-shaped for equipment service workflows rather than generic field tasks.
Smaller partner ecosystem and fewer third-party integrations compared to enterprise FSM platforms means organizations with complex ERP or CRM needs eventually outgrow the available connectors.
Pricing opacity and minimum seat requirements on higher tiers make it difficult for smaller organizations to budget predictably as they scale their field operations.
Limited advanced reporting and analytics features mean organizations seeking deep operational intelligence often migrate to platforms with built-in BI dashboards.

What gets migrated
FRONTU object support
Object-by-object support for FRONTU migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Jobs / Work Orders
Fully supportedCore operational record in Frontu capturing the full lifecycle from service request through completion. Standard fields are stable and well-documented across the platform. We extract job status, timestamps, location, and associated technician.
Technicians / Employees
Fully supportedMobile workforce records with schedule, skills, and current assignment status. Frontu tracks availability and assignment per job. We preserve the relationship between each technician and their assigned jobs during migration.
Customers
Fully supportedCustomer records linked to jobs, assets, and service histories. Contact details, addresses, and communication preferences are standard fields. We maintain the customer-to-job linkage graph to preserve service context in the destination.
Assets / Equipment
Fully supportedEquipment records tied to customer locations, commonly used in heavy machinery sectors. Asset serial numbers, maintenance histories, and linked service records are present. We map assets to their parent customer records and preserve job associations.
Locations / Sites
Fully supportedSite and location records with addresses and geospatial data used for routing. Frontu uses location data for technician dispatch optimization. We transfer location coordinates and address details alongside job assignments.
Time Entries
Mapping requiredTime tracked per job or per technician. Custom fields on time entries vary by organization. We map standard fields (hours, date, technician) and flag any custom time entry properties that require explicit destination field creation.
Routes / Route Plans
Mapping requiredRoute plans optimizing technician travel sequence. The routing logic is Frontu-native and may not map directly to other platforms. We extract the ordered job list and linked technician but note that routing algorithms do not transfer 1:1.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredFrontu supports custom fields on Jobs, Customers, and Assets created by individual organizations. These are not standardized across accounts. We audit custom field schemas during scoping and create corresponding fields in the destination where supported.
Attachments / Photos
Mapping requiredPhotos, signatures, and documents attached to jobs or assets. We export attachments and re-upload them to the destination, though formatting and thumbnail generation may differ. Large attachment volumes increase migration time.
Service Request Intake
Mapping requiredIncoming service request records before they become Jobs. Some organizations use Frontu to log inbound requests separately from dispatched jobs. We preserve the intake record and its linkage to the resulting job where both exist.
Invoices / Billing Records
Mapping requiredBilling records linked to completed jobs. Integration-dependent on whether invoicing is handled within Frontu or via an external accounting system. We transfer invoice records where they exist in Frontu but flag for review if accounting is external.
Integrations / API Configurations
Not in this platformAPI tokens, webhook configurations, and third-party integration settings are platform-specific and not portable. These must be reconfigured manually in the destination system after migration.
