Migrate your JobTread data
All-in-one construction management CRM with a budget-first data model and per-user pricing. Growing residential contractors use it for estimating, job costing, scheduling, and client-facing selections.
In its favor
Why people choose JobTread
The signal that keeps JobTread on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
JobTread's budget-first architecture ties every cost and revenue item back to the job budget, giving contractors real-time financial visibility from estimate through closeout.
The platform consolidates estimating, scheduling, CRM, job costing, and client selections into a single product, eliminating the need to maintain multiple disconnected tools.
Per-user pricing with a generous free tier for vendors, subcontractors, and field crews keeps costs predictable as the team grows.
JobTread's QuickBooks and Gusto integrations allow accounting and payroll data to stay in sync without manual re-entry, reducing administrative overhead.
The platform's certifications program for bookkeepers, estimators, and project managers indicates a commitment to deepening user competency rather than just feature quantity.
Per-user pricing adds up quickly for larger crews; external user definitions are unclear and some teams discover hidden internal-user counts that inflate the monthly bill.
Workflow automations are tightly coupled to JobTread's event model and cannot be bulk-reversed, making migration riskier when workflows have been running for years.
Advanced features like AIA-style payment applications and Heritage vendor catalog integration are recent additions; some teams feel the feature roadmap moves slowly relative to their needs.
Teams with existing QuickBooks-only workflows find that the integrated accounting model is redundant and prefer a dedicated job-costing add-on to their current accounting software.

What gets migrated
JobTread object support
Object-by-object support for JobTread migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Jobs
Fully supportedJobs are the top-level container in JobTread, housing the budget, schedule, tasks, documents, and all financial records. We map Jobs 1:1 and preserve the budget-first hierarchy that ties cost items to the job budget.
Customers
Fully supportedCustomers are contacts linked to jobs and represent the client side of a project. We import them via CSV template or API and preserve contact details, company associations, and job history.
Leads
Mapping requiredLeads are captured in the CRM before they become Customers. We migrate Lead records and preserve the lead-to-customer lifecycle stage as a custom property on the destination if the target platform has a separate Lead object.
Vendors and Subcontractors
Fully supportedBoth vendor types are distinct objects in JobTread. We map them to the equivalent vendor objects in the destination CRM, preserving contact info, payment details, and any linked Purchase Orders or Bills.
Cost Items and Cost Groups
Mapping requiredCost Items are line items tied to budgets; Cost Groups are category headers. These are migrated from the Cost Catalog. Custom cost items created per job require value-level mapping to ensure the destination uses the same naming conventions.
Estimates and Proposals
Mapping requiredEstimates in JobTread can include selections, formulas, and parameters. We preserve the line item structure and pricing but note that complex formula logic may need manual review post-import in the destination platform.
Selections
Mapping requiredSelections are the client-facing choice lists tied to budgets and estimates. We migrate selection templates and linked items, but the client portal associations require re-establishment in the destination system.
Purchase Orders
Mapping requiredPurchase Orders link vendors to cost items and budgets. We preserve the vendor association and line items but flag that approval workflows are not transferable and must be rebuilt.
Work Orders
Mapping requiredWork Orders are assigned to subcontractors or crews and tie to job budgets. We carry forward the task assignments and cost item links but note that crew scheduling data may need re-entry in the destination.
Bills
Mapping requiredBills are vendor invoices tied to Purchase Orders and budgets. We migrate bill records and payment status, but any existing payment records in the destination accounting system require separate reconciliation.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredJobTread supports Custom Fields on Jobs, Customers, and likely other objects. We handle field-level mapping but note that custom field creation on the destination must be completed before the data import begins.
Workflows
Not in this platformWorkflows in JobTread generate irreversible actions with stored workflow/run IDs. We do not migrate workflows as objects because their trigger-and-action logic is tightly coupled to JobTread's internal event model. We provide a structured audit log of what workflows ran so the customer can manually rebuild them in the destination.
