Overview
Jonas Enterprise is a construction-industry ERP combining accounting, payroll, job costing, project management, service dispatch, and document management in a single on-premise or cloud platform. Freshsales is a sales-focused SaaS CRM with standard Lead, Contact, Account, Deal, and Activity objects — it has no native equivalent for construction accounting, job-cost breakdowns, work-order routing, equipment tracking, or payroll integration. FlitStack AI migrates what Freshsales can store: client records, contact persons, service-contract references, work-order history, and product or service line items. We surface Jonas accounting and payroll data as reference exports for your finance team, and we explicitly do not migrate Jonas workflows, document templates, equipment records, or inventory quantities — those require reconstruction in destination-side tools. The migration runs against the Freshsales REST API with batched upserts and a delta window to capture in-flight changes during cutover.
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 Jonas Enterprise Service & Construction Software object lands in Freshsales, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Jonas Enterprise Service & Construction Software
Customer / Client
Freshsales
Account
1:1Jonas client records map directly to Freshsales Account objects. Jonas stores billing address, shipping location, and multiple contact persons per client — we migrate the primary billing address and create one Account per Jonas client. Jonas multi-company accounting clients map to separate Freshsales accounts with the company code preserved in Account_Name__c.
Jonas Enterprise Service & Construction Software
Client Contact Person
Freshsales
Contact
1:1Jonas contact persons attached to a client map to Freshsales Contact records linked via AccountId. Jonas allows multiple contacts per client; we create one Contact per person with name, email, phone, and job title mapped directly. Jonas contact roles (billing, project manager, field supervisor) become Freshsales Contact custom fields since Freshsales does not have a native role object.
Jonas Enterprise Service & Construction Software
Work Order
Freshsales
Task / Activity
1:1Jonas work orders have no direct Freshsales equivalent — we convert each work order into a Task record with Subject = Work Order #XXX, Description = service summary, and due date = scheduled date. Work-order status (Open, Dispatched, Completed, Invoiced) maps to Freshsales task_status values. Parts used and labor hours are stored in a custom Work_Order_Detail__c text field since Freshsales has no line-item structure on tasks.
Jonas Enterprise Service & Construction Software
Service Contract (PMA)
Freshsales
Custom Field on Account
1:1Jonas Planned Maintenance Agreements (PMAs) track contract number, coverage period, scope of work, and billing terms. Freshsales has no service-contract object — we migrate the contract number, start date, end date, and coverage scope into custom fields on the Account (Contract_Number__c, Contract_Start__c, Contract_End__c, Contract_Scope__c) as a reference record for the account team.
Jonas Enterprise Service & Construction Software
Employee / Technician
Freshsales
User
1:1Jonas employee records include name, email, role (technician, project manager, estimator, admin), trade or union local, and labor rate. We match Jonas employees by email to Freshsales Users. Technicians without Freshsales logins become inactive Users or are linked as resource references in work-order detail fields since Freshsales has no native resource or dispatch-board object.
Jonas Enterprise Service & Construction Software
Product / Inventory Item
Freshsales
Product
1:1Jonas inventory items used on work orders (parts, materials, equipment) map to Freshsales Product records. We migrate product name, SKU or part number, unit price, and unit of measure. Jonas inventory quantities and warehouse locations do not transfer — Freshsales Product records track price and description for quoting only.
Jonas Enterprise Service & Construction Software
Project / Job
Freshsales
Deal
1:1Jonas projects (jobs) contain cost-code budgets, phase schedules, change orders, and AIA billing milestones — none of which have Freshsales equivalents. We map the project name and total contract value to a Freshsales Deal record (Name and Amount fields). Job cost breakdowns, change orders, and WIP percentages are exported as a CSV reference file attached to the Deal since they cannot be stored in Freshsales fields.
Jonas Enterprise Service & Construction Software
Equipment Record
Freshsales
Custom Field on Account
1:1Jonas equipment records track asset ID, location, depreciation schedule, and maintenance history — Freshsales has no asset-management module. Equipment records referenced in Jonas service history are preserved as Equipment_Reference__c custom text fields on the associated Account, containing the Jonas equipment ID and type for traceability.
Jonas Enterprise Service & Construction Software
Document (Jonas Documents)
Freshsales
File Attachment
1:1Jonas Documents stores construction drawings, submittals, lien waivers, AIA forms, and approval chains. Freshsales Files attach to CRM records (25MB per file) with no version control or approval workflow. We re-upload referenced documents as Freshsales File attachments to the relevant Account or Deal — your team reconciles document organization after migration since Jonas's folder structure does not map to Freshsales.
Jonas Enterprise Service & Construction Software
General Ledger / Invoice Record
Freshsales
N/A — Finance Export Only
1:1Jonas GL entries, invoices, AP records, and payment history have no place in a CRM. We export Jonas AR/AP and invoice data as structured CSVs for import into your accounting system of record. Jonas invoice numbers and amounts can optionally be stored as read-only reference fields on Freshsales Deals for billing reconciliation.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Extract Jonas data with admin collaboration
FlitStack AI works with your Jonas administrator to extract normalized record sets. On-premise Jonas deployments require a SQL query against the Jonas database — we provide the schema map and export template. Jonas Cloud deployments use Jonas Forms report exports. We validate record counts and field completeness before mapping begins. Source-side extraction is sequenced: clients and contacts first, then work orders, service contracts, employees, and products — in dependency order so foreign keys resolve correctly.
Stand up Freshsales schema with custom fields
Before data lands in Freshsales, we create the custom fields required for Jonas construction data that has no native equivalent: Contract_Number__c, Contract_Start__c, Contract_End__c, Contract_Scope__c, labor_hours__c, Job_Cost_Reference__c, user_type__c, Contact_Role__c, Union_Account__c, and Account_Code__c. We deliver a setup checklist so your Freshsales admin creates these fields in the correct object before the migration run. We also configure Freshsales pipeline stages to match your Jonas job status values.
Resolve Jonas employees to Freshsales users by email
Jonas employee email addresses are matched against Freshsales User records to assign Task and Deal ownership. Matched employees become active Freshsales Users with their Jonas role (technician, estimator, project manager) stored in the user_type__c custom pick-list. Unmatched employees — technicians without Freshsales logins, subcontractor contacts, or staff from departments not moving to CRM — are stored as text in custom fields on their related records. We generate an unresolved-employee list before migration commits so your team can create Freshsales users for key staff or designate fallback owners for records referencing missing users.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of Jonas records — typically 100–500 records covering clients, contacts, work orders, service contracts, and jobs — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against Freshsales field values so you can verify contract-number mapping, work-order status routing, employee resolution, and deal amount accuracy before the full run commits. Approval gate: you sign off on the sample diff before we proceed to full migration.
Full migration run with delta-pickup window
The full migration loads against the Freshsales REST API using batch upsert operations. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours after initial run completion) captures any Jonas records created or modified during the cutover window. Audit log records every upsert operation with source record ID and timestamp. If reconciliation fails, one-click rollback reverts Freshsales to pre-migration state. After delta-pickup completes, your team goes live in Freshsales while Jonas remains accessible for finance and payroll reference if a partial Jonas license is retained.
