Overview
improveit 360 is purpose-built for residential remodelers, replacement contractors, and specialty trade companies — its data model includes lead management, sales quoting, appointment scheduling, project costing, and document management in a single integrated system. Odoo CRM models leads as crm.lead records, contacts as res.partner entries, and uses a pipeline of stages managed through stage_id on the lead object. The migration carries improveit 360's standard CRM objects (leads, contacts, activities, attachments) into Odoo's model, surfaces construction-specific custom fields as Odoo custom fields on crm.lead and res.partner, and flags improveit 360's project and scheduling data for manual rebuild as Odoo project.project or linked sale.order records. We run the migration via Odoo's XML-RPC API in sequence — partners first, then leads, then activities — preserving original create_date timestamps in custom datetime fields. Workflows, automations, and two-way texting integrations do not migrate and must be rebuilt in Odoo's automation tools. The process includes comprehensive validation checks, delta synchronization for records created during migration, and detailed reporting on record counts and any mapping discrepancies.
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 improveit 360 object lands in Odoo CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
improveit 360
Lead
Odoo CRM
crm.lead
1:1improveit 360 leads map to Odoo crm.lead records. The type field on crm.lead is set to 'lead' initially. Original lead status (New, Contacted, Qualified) maps via value_mapping to Odoo stage_id. improveit 360's duplicate-prevention flag is preserved as a custom boolean field on the Odoo lead.
improveit 360
Contact / Customer
Odoo CRM
res.partner
1:1improveit 360 contacts map to Odoo res.partner records. When improveit 360 stores a company on a contact, the company becomes a separate res.partner record with customer_rank set, and the contact becomes a child partner linked via parent_id. improveit 360's customer type (Residential, Commercial) maps to a custom field on res.partner.
improveit 360
Company / Account
Odoo CRM
res.partner
1:1improveit 360 companies map to res.partner records where customer_rank is set to indicate commercial accounts. Odoo stores company name in the name field, website in website, and industry in industry_id. Parent-child company hierarchies in improveit 360 map via Odoo's parent_id on res.partner. Multi-location companies require one partner record per location if improveit 360 tracks them separately.
improveit 360
Deal / Opportunity
Odoo CRM
crm.lead (type=opportunity)
1:1improveit 360 deals convert to Odoo crm.lead records where type='opportunity'. The partner_id is set by matching the improveit 360 customer email to an Odoo res.partner. Deal amount maps to planned_revenue. The improveit 360 pipeline becomes Odoo CRM stages via crm.stage records scoped to the relevant sales team.
improveit 360
Pipeline / Stage
Odoo CRM
crm.stage + crm.team
1:1improveit 360 sale status navigation maps to Odoo crm.stage records. Each improveit 360 pipeline maps to a crm.team in Odoo, with its own set of stage records. We create the stage records in Odoo before migrating deals and set the sequence order to match improveit 360's stage ordering. Stage probability percentages can be set on each Odoo stage if improveit 360 tracks them.
improveit 360
Activity (Call, Email, Meeting)
Odoo CRM
mail.activity + calendar.event
1:1improveit 360 activity logs migrate to Odoo mail.activity records linked to crm.lead or res.partner by res_model and res_id. improveit 360 calls map with activity_type_id set to 'call', emails with 'email', and meetings with 'meeting'. Original timestamps and durations are preserved. Meeting records also create corresponding calendar.event entries for Odoo's calendar view.
improveit 360
Attachment / Document
Odoo CRM
ir.attachment
1:1improveit 360 photos, contracts, and documents migrate as Odoo ir.attachment records. Each attachment stores the original filename, file content, and link (res_model=improvedit360.lead or res.partner). The attachment is linked to the corresponding Odoo record via res_id. improveit 360's document types (Photo, Contract, Proposal) map to custom mimetype or category fields on the attachment.
improveit 360
Custom Fields (Lead)
Odoo CRM
ir.model.fields (custom)
1:1improveit 360 custom fields on leads — such as trade_type, lead_source_detail, referral_partner, or project_type — are created as custom fields on Odoo's crm.lead model before migration. Field types are matched: text fields to char/text, pick-lists to selection fields, numeric fields to float or integer. improveit 360 field values are then loaded into these new custom fields during the migration run.
improveit 360
Custom Fields (Contact/Company)
Odoo CRM
ir.model.fields (custom)
1:1improveit 360 custom fields on contacts and companies — such as trade_license, insurance_expiry, or bonding_capacity — migrate as custom fields on Odoo's res.partner model. If improveit 360 tracks properties per contact (e.g., lead_rating, customer_tier), these are created as selection or char fields on res.partner and populated during migration. Company-level custom fields (e.g., license_number) map to the parent res.partner record.
improveit 360
Owner / User
Odoo CRM
res.users
1:1improveit 360 owner assignments resolve by email match to Odoo res.users records. If a user with the same email exists in Odoo, records are assigned to that user_id. If no match is found, records are assigned to a designated fallback user and flagged in the migration report for manual reassignment. improveit 360's user names (firstname + lastname) are used to create res_users records if Odoo accounts don't already exist.
improveit 360
Project / Job
Odoo CRM
project.project + sale.order
1:1improveit 360 project records (with job costing, scheduling, and cost tracking) do not have a direct Odoo CRM equivalent. These records are exported as a structured CSV reference file for manual rebuild in Odoo project.project or sale.order modules after the CRM migration. We preserve the project name, customer link, and estimated value fields as a separate export so the project context is not lost.
improveit 360
Quote / Proposal
Odoo CRM
sale.order
1:1improveit 360 sales quotes with line items map to Odoo sale.order records, but Odoo sale.order requires product_id links and a product catalog that may not exist in improveit 360. We extract quote data (customer, amounts, line descriptions) into a structured CSV for import into Odoo sale.order after the product catalog is set up. Active quotes in improveit 360 are flagged for priority rebuild in Odoo.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit improveit 360 data volume and schema
We connect to your improveit 360 instance via read-only API access and enumerate all leads, contacts, deals, activities, attachments, and custom field definitions. We count records per object, identify duplicate-prevention flags, lifecycle stages, and pipeline configurations, and document any improveit 360-specific modules in use (marketing, projects, quoting). This audit produces the field-level mapping spreadsheet we use to build the Odoo custom field definitions and migration scripts before any data movement begins.
Configure Odoo CRM schema and custom fields
We activate developer mode in your target Odoo database and create the crm.team records and crm.stage records matching your improveit 360 pipeline and stage configuration. Any improveit 360 custom fields (trade_type, referral_partner, insurance_expiry, etc.) are created as ir.model.fields on crm.lead or res.partner. If your Odoo plan includes the Studio app, we use it for visible custom field placement; otherwise, custom fields are created via technical settings and placed on the form view by your admin.
Resolve owners and users by email match
improveit 360 owner assignments are resolved by matching each owner's email address against existing Odoo res.users records. If a user with the same email exists in Odoo, their user_id is assigned to migrated records. If no match exists, records are assigned to a designated fallback user (we recommend a generic admin account) and listed in a Owner Resolution Report for your team to reassign manually after migration. We also identify improveit 360 contacts without email addresses and flag them for manual review since Odoo requires an email for lead creation in many workflows.
Migrate partners, then leads, then activities in dependency order
Odoo requires res.partner records to exist before crm.lead can reference partner_id, and crm.lead must exist before mail.activity can reference res_model and res_id. We sequence the migration: first res.partner (contacts and companies), then crm.lead (leads and opportunities with stage_id and user_id resolved), then ir.attachment, then mail.activity. Activities are batched by record and type to stay within Odoo's XML-RPC batch size limits. Each batch is validated after loading — we check record counts, required field presence, and relationship integrity before proceeding to the next batch.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
We run a sample migration against a representative slice (typically 200–500 records spanning leads, contacts, deals, and activities) before committing the full run. We generate a field-level diff report comparing source values in improveit 360 against the resulting Odoo records. You verify stage mapping, owner resolution, custom field population, and attachment links on the sample before we proceed. Any mapping corrections are applied to the migration scripts before the full run executes.
Execute full migration with delta pickup window
The full migration runs against your live Odoo instance via XML-RPC API. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any improveit 360 records created or modified during the migration cutover. An audit log records every operation (create, update, skip, error) with source and destination record IDs. If reconciliation reveals missing records or field mismatches, FlitStack AI provides a one-click rollback that reverts Odoo to its pre-migration state while preserving the migration scripts for a corrected re-run. Project and quote data from improveit 360 is delivered as a separate structured CSV export for your Odoo team to rebuild in project.project or sale.order.
