Overview

What this migration involves

Gensolve Practice Manager is a healthcare practice-management platform built for allied-health clinics in Australia and New Zealand. It stores patient/client records, practitioner profiles, appointment histories, clinical notes, custom assessment forms, referral networks, and integrated accounting data. Gensolve exports require initiating a request with your account manager — there is no self-service API export; the team generates a data file on your behalf, typically within 5–10 business days of the request. Pipedrive is a sales CRM organized around People, Organizations, Deals, Leads, and Activities. It has no native healthcare data model. Custom fields (keyed as 40-character hashes unique per account) attach to People, Organizations, and Deals. Pipedrive supports Leads (separate from People), multiple pipelines with configurable stages, and Activities that include calls, meetings, tasks, and emails. There are no custom objects. We map Gensolve client records to Pipedrive People with name, email, phone, and address fields preserved. Practitioners map to Pipedrive Users when an email match exists; practitioner-only records without email addresses require manual user creation before migration. Appointment history migrates as Activities (calls or meetings). Clinical notes and custom assessment form responses become Pipedrive Notes attached to the relevant Person record, with original timestamps preserved. Referrer organizations become Pipedrive Organizations flagged with a custom referrer_type field. Gensolve invoice and billing records have no Pipedrive equivalent — we store them as custom fields on related Deals for audit reference, but accounting data must be reconciled in a dedicated finance system. Custom form field definitions require pre-creation in Pipedrive before data can load, since Pipedrive custom fields use per-account hash keys that cannot be pre-determined without an active account.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Gensolve Practice Manager logo

Gensolve Practice Manager

What's pushing teams away

  • Patient communication via SMS and email is described as clunky and difficult to interact with, requiring workarounds for routine outreach.
  • Finance staff find Gensolve's accounting module confusing and cumbersome compared to standalone bookkeeping tools.
  • The platform lacks customization in reporting—some data requires running two separate reports to assemble a complete picture.
  • Marketing functionality is poor, with limited tools for patient acquisition campaigns and campaign tracking.
  • A steep learning curve means new staff require significant training time before becoming productive.

Choosing

Pipedrive logo

Pipedrive

What's pulling them in

  • Clean drag-and-drop pipeline interface with minimal learning curve, making it approachable for small sales teams without dedicated CRM admins.
  • Visual deal tracking keeps reps focused on next actions — activities, calls, and follow-up tasks surface directly in the pipeline view.
  • Strong integrations via Zapier and native marketplace apps let teams wire Pipedrive into Calendly, ActiveCampaign, and similar sales-stack tools.
  • Mobile apps for iOS and Android keep field reps connected to deals, contacts, and tasks without a desktop session.
  • Reputation and review volume — over 3,000 verified reviews across G2 and Capterra — signal reliability for teams evaluating CRM options.

Object mapping

How Gensolve Practice Manager objects map to Pipedrive

Each row shows how a Gensolve Practice Manager object lands in Pipedrive, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

Gensolve Practice Manager

Client (Patient)

maps to

Pipedrive

Person

1:1
Fully supported

Gensolve client records map directly to Pipedrive People. Name splits into first_name and last_name. Email, phone, and address fields map to their Pipedrive equivalents. Client ID stored as Source_ID__c for traceability. Practices with multiple contact points per client (e.g., emergency contact) store the secondary as a custom field.

Gensolve Practice Manager

Practitioner

maps to

Pipedrive

User

1:1
Fully supported

Gensolve practitioners are staff members, not patients. When a practitioner has a unique email address, FlitStack resolves it to a Pipedrive User by email match. Practitioners without email addresses (rare) must be created as Pipedrive users manually before migration, or their appointment records are re-assigned to a default user and flagged in the audit log.

Gensolve Practice Manager

Practitioner / Clinic Location

maps to

Pipedrive

Organization

1:1
Fully supported

Gensolve practitioners and clinic locations are stored as named entities with addresses. Both map to Pipedrive Organizations. The location address maps to org_address fields; practitioner name becomes the organization name. If the same person operates across multiple locations, each location becomes a separate Organization.

Gensolve Practice Manager

Appointment

maps to

Pipedrive

Activity (Call or Meeting)

1:1
Fully supported

Gensolve appointments carry status (Booked, Confirmed, Cancelled, Completed), date/time, duration, practitioner, and location. Each appointment becomes a Pipedrive Activity: completed or confirmed appointments map to Meetings, cancelled appointments map to Tasks for follow-up review. Original start/end timestamps, practitioner assignment, and location are preserved as custom fields on the activity.

Gensolve Practice Manager

Referrer

maps to

Pipedrive

Organization

1:1
Fully supported

Gensolve referrers (external practitioners or clinics sending patients) become Pipedrive Organizations tagged with a custom field is_referrer set to true. The referral relationship between patient and referrer is stored as a custom organization field on the Person record. Referral-specific contact details (referrer phone, provider number) migrate as custom fields on the Organization.

Gensolve Practice Manager

Invoice / Account Record

maps to

Pipedrive

Custom fields on Deal

1:1
Fully supported

Gensolve invoice and account data has no native Pipedrive equivalent — Pipedrive is a CRM, not an accounting system. Invoice totals, outstanding balances, and payment status migrate as custom fields on the related Deal for audit reference. Actual financial reconciliation must occur in Xero, QuickBooks, or a dedicated accounting platform post-migration.

Gensolve Practice Manager

Custom Form

maps to

Pipedrive

Custom Fields on Person or Deal

1:1
Fully supported

Gensolve custom forms (assessment templates, intake questionnaires, injury-specific forms) define fields unique to each practice. These require pre-creation as Pipedrive custom fields on Person or Deal before migration. FlitStack extracts form field names and types from the Gensolve export and generates a Pipedrive field-creation plan. Field values from completed forms attach to the relevant Person record.

Gensolve Practice Manager

Clinical Note

maps to

Pipedrive

Note (on Person)

1:1
Fully supported

Gensolve clinical notes are text-rich records attached to a client and an appointment. They migrate as Pipedrive Notes attached to the Person record, with the original note date preserved. The associated practitioner name and appointment date are stored in the Note body for audit continuity. Attached documents (images, PDFs) are downloaded and re-uploaded to Pipedrive Files linked to the Note.

Gensolve Practice Manager

Treatment Plan

maps to

Pipedrive

Note (on Person or Deal)

1:1
Fully supported

Gensolve treatment plans detail structured intervention goals and progress markers. These migrate as Pipedrive Notes with a treatment_plan flag in the Note title. If the treatment plan relates to a specific revenue-generating deal, it is attached to both the Person and the relevant Deal for cross-referencing.

Gensolve Practice Manager

Inventory / Stock Item

maps to

Pipedrive

Product

1:1
Fully supported

Gensolve inventory items (supplements, consumables) can map to Pipedrive Products when the clinic uses Pipedrive Deals to track product-based revenue. Stock quantities and minimum-stock thresholds from Gensolve migrate as custom fields on the Product record. Inventory tracking with reorder logic does not have a Pipedrive equivalent and must remain in Gensolve or move to a dedicated inventory tool.

Gensolve Practice Manager

Communication Log (SMS/Email)

maps to

Pipedrive

Activity / Email Message

1:1
Fully supported

Gensolve SMS and email communication logs attached to client records migrate as Pipedrive email Activities on the Person record. Original send date, sender (practitioner), and message content are preserved. Two-way SMS threads that Gensolve logged as individual entries become a sequence of email Activities in chronological order.

Gensolve Practice Manager

Marketing Outreach / Recall List

maps to

Pipedrive

Custom field on Person

1:1
Fully supported

Gensolve recall lists and birthday/follow-up outreach campaigns are healthcare-specific marketing automation with no Pipedrive equivalent. These lists export from Gensolve as Person records tagged with recall_date and recall_type. Pipedrive has no native recall or re-engagement campaign engine — this workflow must be rebuilt using Pipedrive's Automations or an external marketing tool post-migration.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Pipedrive custom fields use per-account hash keys that cannot be pre-determined

    When you create a custom field in Pipedrive via the UI or API, the system assigns it a 40-character alphanumeric hash (for example, a3f8b2c1d4e5f6a7b8c9d0e1f2a3b4c5d6e7f8a9) that becomes the field key for API operations. This hash is unique per Pipedrive account — FlitStack cannot generate it in advance. Before data can migrate into custom fields, the Pipedrive account must be live so we can create the fields via the Pipedrive API and retrieve each hash. This adds a one-time step to the migration sequence: set up Pipedrive, generate the custom field plan, then load data. Any Gensolve custom form fields cannot be populated until this step completes.

  • Clinical notes and ACC claim records have no native Pipedrive equivalent — they require manual interpretation post-migration

    Gensolve clinical notes contain rich, healthcare-specific documentation (treatment observations, assessment scores, rehabilitation plans) that Pipedrive's generic Notes object cannot semantically represent. ACC (Accident Compensation Corporation) claim numbers and status flags are New Zealand healthcare constructs with no Pipedrive field. We migrate clinical note text as Notes attached to the Person record and store ACC fields as custom Person fields, but this preserves data without preserving context. Practices that rely on Gensolve's clinical documentation for compliance or audit purposes will need to establish a document-management or clinical-records strategy outside Pipedrive — FlitStack can provide the exported note files separately.

  • Practitioners without email addresses require manual Pipedrive user creation before appointment ownership can resolve

    Pipedrive activities (meetings, calls, tasks) must be assigned to a User record. Gensolve practitioners may exist without an email address if the platform was configured for staff who do not log in to Gensolve directly. In this case, there is no email to match against Pipedrive users. We flag all unmatched practitioner IDs during the pre-migration scan. Your team must create Pipedrive user accounts for those practitioners (or assign them to a default user) before the full migration runs, otherwise appointment records land without an assigned owner and require a post-migration correction pass.

  • Referrer relationships collapse to a flag — the referral network graph requires manual rebuild

    Gensolve stores referrers as named entities with bidirectional relationships to patients (a referrer can have multiple patients; a patient can have multiple referrers). Pipedrive Organizations support only a single primary link per Person (org_id). Multi-referrer relationships that Gensolve supports natively cannot be modeled 1:1 in Pipedrive without a custom junction object or a manual post-migration mapping exercise. We map each Gensolve referrer to a Pipedrive Organization with an is_referrer flag and store the primary referral relationship on the Person record, but additional referrer links for patients with multiple sources are surfaced as a mismatch report for your team to resolve manually after go-live.

  • Gensolve data export requires a request to your account manager — there is no self-service export

    Unlike most CRMs that offer a self-service CSV export or API access, Gensolve does not provide a direct data-export path for customers. According to Gensolve's own documentation, data extraction requires contacting your account manager and requesting an export of client records, appointments, clinical notes, and custom forms. Gensolve then generates the export file on your behalf. This introduces an external dependency on Gensolve's response time (typically 5–10 business days) before FlitStack can begin scoping or mapping. We recommend initiating the export request immediately upon signing the migration engagement to avoid this delay blocking the project start date.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Gensolve Practice Manager to Pipedrive data migration

  1. Initiate Gensolve data export request and validate the export file

    FlitStack submits a formal data-export request to your Gensolve account manager on your behalf or guides you through the process. The export should include client records, practitioner profiles, appointment history, clinical notes, custom form data, referrer records, and invoice/account history. Once the file is delivered, our team profiles the data — identifying record counts, field coverage, custom form structures, and any data-quality issues (duplicate records, missing email addresses, incomplete address fields). We produce a data-quality report before any mapping work begins.

  2. Set up Pipedrive account and pre-create custom fields

    With a live Pipedrive account, FlitStack creates the custom fields identified in the Gensolve export — including practitioner and referral flags, ACC claim fields, Gensolve IDs for traceability, original create dates, and clinical-note attachments. We retrieve the Pipedrive hash keys for each custom field as they are created so the mapping plan is fully resolved before data loads. Simultaneously, your team creates Pipedrive user accounts for any practitioners that lack email addresses in Gensolve, so owner resolution works cleanly during the migration run.

  3. Resolve practitioners to Pipedrive users and load Person and Organization records

    We match Gensolve practitioners to Pipedrive users by email address. Unmatched practitioners are flagged with a resolution report — your team either creates the missing Pipedrive users or confirms a fallback owner for their records. With practitioners resolved, we load Gensolve clients as Pipedrive People (with name, email, phone, address, and custom fields populated), Gensolve practitioners as Pipedrive Organizations, and Gensolve referrers as Organizations with the is_referrer flag set. Foreign-key dependencies between records are resolved in sequence so each Person has a valid org_id before Deals are created.

  4. Run a sample migration and generate a field-level diff

    A representative sample — typically 50–100 records spanning clients, practitioners, appointments, clinical notes, and custom form responses — migrates into Pipedrive first. We produce a field-level diff comparing source values against destination field values so you can verify that practitioner-to-user resolution, appointment status mapping, ACC field population, and custom form field loading all appear correct before the full run commits. Sample migration typically completes within a few hours. You review and approve before we proceed.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup and audit log

    The full dataset loads into Pipedrive. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours after the main run starts) captures any Gensolve records created or modified during the cutover period — for example, new appointments booked by staff who continued working in Gensolve during migration. FlitStack generates a complete audit log of every record operation (create, update, skip, flag). If reconciliation reveals unexpected gaps, one-click rollback reverts the Pipedrive state so the full run can be corrected and re-executed without residual data contamination.

Strengths

  • Specialized Allied Health focus with built-in ACC electronic billing for New Zealand physiotherapy and accident compensation workflows.
  • All-in-one platform consolidates appointments, clinical notes, billing, reporting, and inventory without third-party gaps.
  • Cloud-first architecture with 2-minute incremental backups, AES-256 encryption, and GDPR-compliant AWS hosting.
  • Multi-practitioner diary sharing provides instant visibility across all locations and practitioners in a single view.
  • Established platform since 2001 with stable market presence in Australia and New Zealand Allied Health sectors.

Weaknesses

  • No self-service data export—requires coordinating directly with Gensolve support to initiate a database export.
  • Public API access is limited and documentation is sparse; most integrations rely on partner arrangements rather than open endpoints.
  • Reporting requires running multiple separate reports to assemble complete operational or financial views.
  • Marketing tools lag behind modern SaaS standards, with no built-in campaign management or patient acquisition workflows.
  • Steep feature depth creates a significant learning curve for new staff during onboarding.

Strengths

  • Intuitive drag-and-drop pipeline that sales reps actually use without resistance or training overhead.
  • Per-seat unlimited-deals model on all tiers — reps cannot be blocked from logging activity.
  • Active marketplace with 400+ integrations and a documented REST API with OpenAPI 3 specs.
  • Mobile apps with offline access, call logging, and calendar sync keep field teams operational.
  • Strong focus on sales activity tracking — next-action reminders and follow-up scheduling are first-class features.

Weaknesses

  • No custom objects — teams needing non-standard data structures must work around the four standard entity types.
  • Workflow automation limits by tier (30, 60, 90 active workflows) force upgrades as processes grow.
  • No free permanent plan — teams evaluating fit must commit to a trial without a freemium option.
  • Limited advanced reporting and custom dashboard capabilities compared to HubSpot or Salesforce.
  • Export permissions are gated by visibility groups, meaning data scoping must account for who can see what before migration.

Most Gensolve-to-Pipedrive migrations complete in 24–48 hours of clock time for under 5,000 records once the Gensolve export file is received. Complex setups with extensive custom forms, multi-practitioner records, and referral network data extend to 5–7 days. The Gensolve export request itself — which requires contacting your Gensolve account manager — typically takes 5–10 business days and runs in parallel with Pipedrive account setup, so the practical timeline starts from when both the export file and a live Pipedrive account are available.
