Overview
JobTread organizes construction data around Jobs, Customers, Vendors, Cost Items, and Custom Fields. Salesforce Sales Cloud is a general-purpose CRM built around Accounts, Contacts, Leads, and Opportunities. The migration carries everything JobTread stores natively — customers, customer contacts, jobs, vendors, documents, and custom fields — into Salesforce's schema. The harder problems are mapping JobTread's construction-specific job-costing model to Salesforce Opportunities with custom fields, preserving budget and cost-category data without native equivalents, and reconciling JobTread's per-user pricing model against Salesforce's per-seat licensing structure. Workflows, automations, and triggers in JobTread have no Salesforce equivalent and must be rebuilt in Salesforce Flow. We extract JobTread data via their documented API and load into Salesforce using Bulk API 2.0 and the REST API, applying field-level validation at each stage. Before migration, we deliver a custom-field creation plan so your Salesforce org has the __c fields needed to receive JobTread's construction data. This ensures your Salesforce instance is fully prepared to accept all migrated records without schema mismatches during insertion.
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 JobTread 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.
JobTread
Customer
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1JobTread customers map directly to Salesforce Accounts. We preserve the original create date as Original_Create_Date__c because Salesforce's CreatedDate reflects migration time rather than the original record creation. Company-level custom fields migrate as Account __c fields on the mapped Account record. All customer attributes including billing address, phone, and email transfer to the corresponding Salesforce Account fields.
JobTread
Customer Contact
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1JobTread customer contacts map to Salesforce Contacts linked via AccountId to their parent Account. Primary contact role (primary, billing, site contact) maps to Salesforce Contact Roles on the Account object. Contact-level custom fields become Contact __c fields, preserving all custom data associated with each individual contact record in JobTread.
JobTread
Job
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity + Custom Fields
1:1JobTread Jobs map to Salesforce Opportunities. The job name becomes Opportunity Name, the budget amount maps to Amount, and close date becomes CloseDate. JobTread's job status (Active, Completed, On Hold) maps to a custom pick-list Job_Status__c on Opportunity, not to standard StageName — since Salesforce stages represent sales pipeline, not construction lifecycle.
JobTread
Job Cost Item
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity Line Item + Custom Fields
1:1JobTread cost items (materials, labor, equipment) link to a Job. We map them as Salesforce Opportunity Line Items with a custom JobTread_Cost_Category__c field storing the original category name, and JobTread_Cost_Item_ID__c storing the source reference for traceability and de-duplication during future delta syncs. Each line item preserves quantity and unit cost data.
JobTread
Vendor
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account (Vendor Record Type)
1:1JobTread vendors map to Salesforce Accounts tagged with a Vendor Record Type to distinguish them from customer Accounts. Vendor-level custom fields migrate as Account __c fields. Vendor contacts map to Salesforce Contacts under the vendor Account. The Vendor Record Type enables separate page layouts and reporting tracks for vendor relationships versus customer accounts.
JobTread
Vendor Contact
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1Vendor contacts map to Salesforce Contacts under the vendor Account. Role and contact-specific custom fields become Contact __c fields. We link them to the vendor AccountId, not the customer Account, ensuring vendor contacts appear under the correct vendor Account hierarchy in Salesforce. Contact roles on the vendor Account can further classify their function.
JobTread
Document / Attachment
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Salesforce Files
1:1JobTread documents and attachments linked to Jobs, Customers, or Vendors re-upload to Salesforce Files. They are associated to the corresponding Account or Opportunity record. File size limits (25MB per file in Salesforce) apply — large files flagged before migration for manual handling or alternative transfer methods.
JobTread
Custom Field (any entity)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom __c field
1:1JobTread's custom fields apply to Customers, Customer Contacts, Jobs, Vendors, Vendor Contacts, and Cost Items. Each custom field needs a Salesforce __c equivalent pre-created in Setup before the migration run. FlitStack delivers a field creation manifest listing every custom field, its type, and target object.
JobTread
Workflow
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Not migratable
1:1JobTread workflows (triggers, filters, actions) have no Salesforce equivalent. We export workflow definitions as a structured JSON reference document and provide a comprehensive Flow-rebuild guide so your Salesforce admin can recreate each automation step by step with clear mapping from the original JobTread workflow logic to Salesforce Flow components.

Migration approach
Audit JobTread data and build the custom field manifest
We connect to JobTread via API (or CSV export) and inventory every object: Customers, Customer Contacts, Jobs, Cost Items, Vendors, Vendor Contacts, and all custom fields across entities. We generate a custom field creation manifest listing every JobTread custom field, its data type, target Salesforce object, and the __c field name to create in Setup. Your Salesforce admin creates these fields before the migration run so the schema is ready to receive data.
Design the object and field mapping plan
We build the mapping plan: Customers → Accounts, Customer Contacts → Contacts, Jobs → Opportunities with custom fields, Cost Items → Opportunity Line Items, Vendors → Accounts with Vendor Record Type. Owner resolution happens by email match against Salesforce users — unmatched owners are flagged for your team to invite or reassign before migration. The mapping plan is reviewed with your team before any data moves.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of records migrates first — typically 100–500 records spanning customers, contacts, jobs, and cost items. We generate a field-level diff between the JobTread source and the Salesforce destination so you can verify budget amount mapping, cost-category preservation, vendor record-type assignment, and owner resolution before the full run commits. Any mapping errors surface here, not in production. This validation step confirms data integrity before committing to the full dataset migration.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full migration runs using Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 for high-volume objects and the REST API for records with complex custom field payloads. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any records created or modified in JobTread during the cutover. All operations are logged in an audit trail, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails. Your team continues working in JobTread throughout the migration window.
Deliver export package and post-migration reconciliation
After migration, we deliver the JobTread workflow export as structured JSON, the custom field manifest, and a data reconciliation report showing record counts by object, any records that failed insertion, and the resolution path for each failure. Your Salesforce admin uses the workflow JSON and our Flow rebuild guide to reconstruct automations in Salesforce. We provide 30 days of post-migration support for data quality questions.
