Overview

What this migration involves

improveit 360 is a CRM built on the Salesforce platform specifically for residential remodelers, replacement contractors, and specialty trades. It stores leads, companies, opportunities, and eLeads (incoming web leads), plus construction-specific data like project budgets, line-item estimates, appointment schedules, and custom properties. Because improveit 360 uses its own custom object prefixes and property naming on top of Salesforce, the migration to standard Salesforce Sales Cloud requires extracting those custom fields, mapping them to standard and custom Salesforce fields, and resolving the foreign-key relationships (AccountId on Contacts, OwnerId on Opportunities) that improveit 360 manages differently internally. Salesforce Sales Cloud brings standard objects — Account, Contact, Lead, Opportunity, Task, Event — alongside custom fields (suffix __c) and record types for varying page layouts per business unit. We map improveit 360's eLead records to Salesforce Leads where they qualify, and flag non-converting eLeads as a custom field for manual review. Project estimates and schedule data have no native Salesforce equivalent — those migrate to custom fields on Opportunity or a custom Project__c object. We use the Salesforce Bulk API and REST API for data insertion, with a delta-pickup window capturing any improveit 360 records modified during the cutover. Workflows, automations, and improveit 360's quoting tool (Sales Touch or built-in) do not migrate — we export their definitions as a reference for rebuilding in Salesforce Flow or CPQ.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

improveit 360

What's pushing teams away

  • Steep onboarding and complexity make the platform difficult to use for smaller crews; at least 15 full-time users are required, pricing out smaller contractors.
  • Lack of a documented public API limits integration options and makes automated migrations or third-party tool connections difficult to execute.
  • Some users report the interface is overwhelming with too many features layered on top of each other, slowing daily adoption by field sales staff.
  • Customisation of dashboards and reports requires technical knowledge, creating friction for non-technical office managers who want to act on the data.

Choosing

Salesforce Sales Cloud

What's pulling them in

  • The AppExchange marketplace with 5,000+ prebuilt apps gives enterprises integrations for nearly every business workflow without custom development.
  • Native Einstein AI for lead scoring, opportunity insights, and predictive forecasting adds intelligence without a separate platform purchase.
  • Territory management, multi-currency support, and advanced forecasting satisfy the needs of complex B2B sales organizations with structured revenue teams.
  • Slack, Tableau, and CPQ are deeply integrated into the core platform, keeping the sales stack unified for teams already in the Salesforce ecosystem.
  • Organizations with a large, established Salesforce implementation choose it because switching costs — integrations, custom code, trained admins — are prohibitive.

Object mapping

How improveit 360 objects map to Salesforce Sales Cloud

Each row shows how a improveit 360 object lands in Salesforce Sales Cloud, 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

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Lead

1:1
Fully supported

improveit 360 leads map directly to Salesforce Lead records. Fields including name, email, phone, company, lead status, and source are migrated as-is. Owner resolution happens by email match to Salesforce User records before insertion — unmatched owners are flagged and assigned to a fallback user.

improveit 360

eLead

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Lead (or Custom Flag Field)

1:1
Fully supported

improveit 360 eLead records represent incoming web inquiries with routing status and source tracking. If an eLead has been worked (status 'Working' or later), it qualifies as a Salesforce Lead. Unworked eLeads that represent raw form submissions are flagged with a custom field for Salesforce admin triage rather than bulk-loading unqualified records.

improveit 360

Company

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Account

1:1
Fully supported

improveit 360 companies migrate to Salesforce Account records. The company name maps to Account.Name, domain to Website, industry to Industry (value-mapped), employee count to NumberOfEmployees, and annual revenue to AnnualRevenue. Parent-child company hierarchies use the Salesforce ParentId field. Address components (street, city, state, postal code, country) map to the corresponding BillingAddress fields on Account.

improveit 360

Contact

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

improveit 360 contacts map directly to Salesforce Contacts. All standard fields (name, email, phone, title, address components) are migrated. Because Salesforce requires Contact.AccountId, the parent Account must exist before Contacts are inserted — we sequence Accounts first in the migration run order.

improveit 360

Opportunity

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

improveit 360 opportunities map to Salesforce Opportunity records. The deal name, amount, and close date are direct mappings. Pipeline-to-RecordTypeId mapping assigns each improveit 360 pipeline to a Salesforce Sales Process tied to a record type, and stage values are mapped value-by-value per record type with probability and forecast category reapplied.

improveit 360

Pipeline

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Sales Process + Record Type

1:1
Fully supported

Each improveit 360 pipeline becomes a Salesforce Sales Process keyed by a record type. Pipeline stages map to Opportunity StageName values per record type. Teams with five improveit 360 pipelines end up with five Salesforce record types — each requiring its own page layout, field-level security, and profile assignment before data lands.

improveit 360

Project / Estimate

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Custom Project__c Object (or Opportunity Custom Fields)

1:1
Fully supported

improveit 360 stores project budgets, line-item estimates, and schedule dates as native fields. Salesforce Sales Cloud has no standard project object. We create a custom Project__c object with fields for estimated_budget__c, line_items__c, start_date__c, and completion_date__c, linked to the parent Opportunity via a lookup relationship.

improveit 360

Custom Properties

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Custom Fields (__c) on Standard Objects

1:1
Fully supported

improveit 360's custom fields (remodel_type__c, trade_category__c, coverage_area__c, etc.) migrate to Salesforce custom fields with __c suffix on the equivalent standard object. Field type is preserved — pick-lists become pick-lists, dates stay dates, numbers stay numbers. All custom fields are created in the target org before the migration run.

improveit 360

Appointment / Calendar

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Event

1:1
Fully supported

improveit 360 appointment records (with scheduled date, time, assigned rep, and result status) map to Salesforce Event records. Original start/end times, owners, and the parent-record link to the related Contact or Opportunity are preserved. Appointment result notes migrate as Event description.

improveit 360

Call / Activity Log

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Task

1:1
Fully supported

improveit 360 call logs and activity records map to Salesforce Task records. The activity type (call, email, note) is stored in the Task.Type field. Original timestamps, owners, and subject lines are preserved, with the Task linked to the parent Contact, Lead, or Opportunity record.

improveit 360

Attachment / Document

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Salesforce Files

1:1
Fully supported

Documents and attachments stored in improveit 360 are downloaded and re-uploaded as Salesforce Files (ContentDocument / ContentVersion). File size limits apply — Salesforce default caps at 25MB per file. Inline images embedded in notes are extracted and rehosted separately, and large files exceeding the limit are chunked or linked via external storage references to maintain document accessibility.

improveit 360

Quote / Estimate Document

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Custom Field or CPQ Quote (Post-Migration)

1:1
Fully supported

improveit 360 quote documents and line-item pricing tables have no direct Salesforce equivalent without CPQ. We preserve quote data as custom fields on Opportunity (quote_amount__c, quote_date__c, quote_valid_until__c) and export the line-item structure as JSON for rebuild in Salesforce CPQ by your admin after migration.

Pair-specific challenges

  • eLead records require qualification routing before Salesforce insertion

    improveit 360 eLeads represent a pre-qualification queue — raw web form submissions that have not been worked by a rep. Salesforce has no native eLead concept. Unworked eLeads that are bulk-loaded as Leads inflate your Salesforce Lead count without qualifying criteria. We solve this by setting a Status threshold: only eLeads with a 'Working' or later status migrate as Salesforce Leads; raw eLeads land in a custom eLead_remaining__c field on the Account or Contact for manual triage. Your Salesforce admin reviews the flagged records after go-live and converts them through the standard Lead conversion process.

  • improveit 360 custom properties need Salesforce __c fields pre-created before migration

    improveit 360 stores vertical-specific fields — remodel_type__c, trade_category__c, coverage_area__c, referral_source_detail__c — that have no Salesforce standard-field equivalent. These must be created in Salesforce as custom fields (suffix __c) before any records land. For pick-list fields, the pick-list values must match exactly — improveit 360's 'Kitchen', 'Bathroom', 'Windows' remodeling type values need to exist as Salesforce pick-list values on the custom field before insertion. If they don't exist, the migration rejects those records. We deliver a schema setup plan listing every custom field to create and every pick-list value to populate before the migration run.

  • Project and estimate data has no native Salesforce counterpart — custom object required

    improveit 360's project management module — storing estimated budgets, line-item breakdowns, start and completion dates, and schedule milestones — has no direct Salesforce Sales Cloud object. Salesforce does not ship a project or job-costing object in base Sales Cloud; these require a custom Project__c object with custom fields (Estimated_Budget__c, Line_Items_JSON__c, Start_Date__c, Completion_Date__c) and a lookup relationship to Opportunity. Without this custom object, project data either drops or maps to unrelated Opportunity fields, corrupting deal reporting. We include the Project__c object creation in our schema plan and link it to Opportunities by OpportunityId lookup after Opportunity records exist.

  • Owner resolution fails silently for improveit 360 users not yet in Salesforce

    improveit 360 assigns each lead, opportunity, and task to a user within its own user table. Those user IDs do not map to Salesforce User IDs — only email addresses do. If a rep is listed as an improveit 360 owner but has not been provisioned a Salesforce license and user record, their Salesforce OwnerId is null after migration, and the record either fails insertion or lands with a system-user fallback. We require a pre-migration user audit: every improveit 360 owner must have a matching Salesforce User with the same email address. Any owner without a Salesforce match is flagged on the audit report and assigned to a designated fallback user before migration begins.

  • Quote documents and line-item pricing tables require Salesforce CPQ rebuild post-migration

    improveit 360's quoting tool stores line-item pricing, optional quantities, and discount rules as structured data. Salesforce Sales Cloud base edition has no quote object — the Quote object requires Salesforce CPQ (a separate product with its own SKU and per-user pricing). Quote data from improveit 360 is preserved as custom fields on Opportunity (quote_amount__c, quote_date__c, quote_valid_until__c) and the line-item structure is exported as a JSON blob in a custom long-text field. A Salesforce CPQ implementation consultant uses this export to rebuild the quote templates and pricing rules after the migration is live. Without this step, your reps recreate quotes manually.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful improveit 360 to Salesforce Sales Cloud data migration

  1. Audit improveit 360 data and deliver Salesforce schema plan

    We connect to your improveit 360 instance via API and inventory all objects, custom properties, eLead records, and project entries. We cross-reference against your current Salesforce org to identify which improveit 360 custom fields have no Salesforce standard-field equivalent and require __c field creation. We deliver a schema setup checklist: every Salesforce custom field to create, every pick-list value to populate, every record type to configure for your pipelines, and the Project__c object definition. Your Salesforce admin creates these before we proceed to migration — the Salesforce side must be schema-ready before data validation begins.

  2. Run user audit and resolve owner IDs by email match

    Every improveit 360 owner (rep, admin, manager) must have a matching Salesforce User record with the same email address. We export the improveit 360 user list, query Salesforce for matching email addresses, and flag every improveit 360 owner without a Salesforce user. Your team either provisions Salesforce licenses for those users or designates a fallback owner (typically a Salesforce admin) to receive their records. No record is inserted without a valid Salesforce OwnerId — unresolved owners block the migration run.

  3. Sequence migration: Accounts → Contacts/Leads → Opportunities → Projects → Activities

    Salesforce requires Account records to exist before Contact.AccountId can be set, and Opportunity records before project lookups resolve. We run the migration in dependency order: first Accounts (imported with all company data and parent hierarchies), then Contacts (with AccountId links resolved) and Leads (with eLeads split into qualified and triage-flagged), then Opportunities (with RecordTypeId assigned per pipeline, StageName mapped per record type, and OwnerId resolved), then Project__c records (linked to parent Opportunity by OpportunityId lookup), then Activities (Tasks and Events linked to the parent Contact, Lead, or Opportunity). This sequence ensures no foreign-key failures during insertion.

  4. Execute sample migration with field-level diff

    Before the full run, we migrate a representative slice — typically 200–500 records across Leads, Contacts, Opportunities, eLeads, and a sample project record. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against destination values so you can verify: eLead status routing is correct, pipeline-to-record-type assignment matches your Salesforce pipeline configuration, project data landed in the custom Project__c object, owner resolution shows the correct Salesforce user, and custom property values were inserted into __c fields. You sign off on the sample before the full migration commits.

  5. Full migration run with delta-pickup window

    The full migration runs against your Salesforce org using Bulk API for high-volume objects (Contacts, Leads, Opportunities) and REST API for records requiring immediate validation (eLeads, Projects). After the initial load completes, we open a delta-pickup window — typically 24–48 hours — during which any improveit 360 records created or modified during the cutover are captured and inserted into Salesforce. Every operation is logged in an audit record. If reconciliation fails, one-click rollback reverts the Salesforce org to its pre-migration state.

Source

Strengths

  • All-in-one CRM, quoting, scheduling, and job costing purpose-built for remodelers and replacement contractors.
  • Automated activity logging, duplicate prevention, and lead scoring built into the sales workflow.
  • Multi-location and franchise support with consistent data structures across branches.
  • Integrated production grid and project templates streamline field-to-office coordination.
  • Strong customer success reputation in the home improvement vertical with long-tenured accounts.

Weaknesses

  • No documented public API limits programmatic access and complicates automated migrations.
  • Steep onboarding curve; the platform is designed for teams of 15+, making it inaccessible for smaller contractors.
  • Interface complexity has a steep learning curve reported by non-technical office staff.
  • Custom reports and dashboards require technical knowledge to configure and maintain.

Strengths

  • Largest enterprise app ecosystem in CRM with 5,000+ AppExchange integrations covering nearly every vertical workflow.
  • Native Einstein AI delivers lead scoring, opportunity insights, and predictive forecasting without a third-party layer.
  • Advanced territory management, multi-currency, and flexible forecasting satisfy complex B2B revenue structures.
  • Deep platform extensibility: Custom Objects, Apex, Flow, and the Metadata API allow full schema customization.
  • Well-documented REST API, Bulk API, and Composite API with published rate limits for programmatic migration.

Weaknesses

  • Pricing model is layered and opaque in practice: per-seat fees plus storage overages, add-on subscriptions, and annual uplifts compound to 30–40% above sticker price.
  • Workflow Rules and Process Builder are deprecated, forcing all orgs onto Salesforce Flow — a migration task that catches many teams by surprise.
  • Steep administrative complexity: meaningful configuration requires a dedicated Salesforce admin or consultant.
  • API rate limits are edition-gated (100k/day base for Enterprise) and easily exhausted by large historical imports without throttling.
  • Data export is exportable via Data Loader but preserving relationship integrity across 30+ objects requires careful ETL sequencing.

Most improveit 360 migrations complete the initial load in 48–72 hours of clock time for datasets under 50,000 records. The pre-migration phase — schema setup, owner audit, and sample migration sign-off — typically adds 5–10 business days. Larger datasets with heavy eLead queues, multiple project records, or 100,000+ total records extend to 7–14 days. The longest single step is typically the schema setup (creating Salesforce custom fields and record types), not the data movement itself.
