Overview
MeasureSquare is a flooring-industry SaaS that combines takeoff estimation with CRM capabilities for contractors, retailers, and distributors. Its data model centers on Projects (which contain rooms, materials, and labor), Customers, Estimates, Quotes, Work Orders, Purchase Orders, and a proprietary Product Database. Dynamics 365 Sales (built on Dataverse) models Accounts and Contacts as the foundation, with Leads, Opportunities, Quotes, Orders, and Invoices for the sales cycle, plus Products and Price Lists for catalog management. FlitStack AI migrates the following MeasureSquare data: Customers → Accounts and Contacts, Projects → Opportunities (with custom fields for flooring-specific attributes), Estimates → Notes or custom fields on Opportunities, Quotes → Dynamics 365 Quotes, Work Orders → Dynamics 365 Sales Orders, Purchase Orders → Invoices or custom fields, and the MeasureSquare Product Database → Dynamics 365 Products with price lists. Workflows, automations, custom pricing formulas, and project diagrams do not migrate — those require rebuild in Power Automate, Power Apps, or Dynamics workflow tools. FlitStack accesses MeasureSquare via its REST Cloud API (auth-name-and-token authentication), extracts records in JSON, transforms them through field-level mapping, and loads them into Dynamics 365 via the Dataverse Web API.
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 MeasureSquare object lands in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales , including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
MeasureSquare
Customer
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account + Contact
1:1MeasureSquare Customer maps to Dynamics 365 Account as the organizational record. The primary contact within that customer maps to a Dynamics Contact linked by AccountId. MeasureSquare stores customer name, company name, address, phone, email, and notes — all direct field mappings with address data mapped to Address fields on Account.
MeasureSquare
Project
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity
1:1MeasureSquare Project is the core entity — it contains jobsite data, room-level takeoff, material quantities, labor estimates, and total project value. Dynamics 365 Opportunity has no native fields for flooring attributes, so FlitStack maps Project.Name to Opportunity.Name, Project.ProjectValue or Total_Amount to Opportunity.ActualValue, Project.Status to Opportunity.StateCode, and creates custom fields (Flooring_Type__c, Waste_Percentage__c, Seam_Direction__c, Pattern_Match__c) for the flooring-specific data that lives in MeasureSquare rooms and line items.
MeasureSquare
Estimate
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Fields on Opportunity + Note
1:1MeasureSquare Estimates are composite documents — a header plus line items grouped by room, material, and trade, with subtotals for materials, labor, freight, tax, and margin. Dynamics 365 has no native estimate entity. FlitStack maps estimate totals to custom fields on the linked Opportunity (Estimate_Total__c, Materials_Total__c, Labor_Total__c, Freight_Total__c, Tax_Total__c, Margin_Percent__c). The detailed room-level breakdown is preserved as a Note attached to the Opportunity.
MeasureSquare
Quote
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Quote
1:1MeasureSquare Quote maps directly to Dynamics 365 Quote — both carry a customer reference, product line items, pricing, and validity dates. FlitStack maps Quote.Name to Quote.Name, Quote.TotalAmount to Quote.TotalAmount, Quote.Status to Quote.StateCode, Quote.ValidFrom/ValidTo to Quote.EffectiveFrom/Quote.ExpiresOn, and line items to the QuoteDetails sub-entity. Quote status transitions map value-by-value.
MeasureSquare
Work Order
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
SalesOrder
1:1MeasureSquare Work Order tracks what was sold, what materials were ordered, and job site progress. Dynamics 365 SalesOrder is the fulfillment record in the sales cycle. FlitStack maps Work Order number to SalesOrder.SalesOrderNumber, Work Order total to SalesOrder.TotalAmount, Work Order status to SalesOrder.StatusCode, and the related customer and project references to the appropriate lookups. Line items (materials ordered, quantities) map to OrderProducts.
MeasureSquare
Purchase Order
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Invoice or Custom Fields on SalesOrder
1:1MeasureSquare Purchase Order tracks vendor-sourced materials against a project. Dynamics 365 has a dedicated Invoice entity but no native Purchase Order entity in Sales. FlitStack maps POs to Invoices or stores PO number and vendor data as custom fields on the related SalesOrder — your Dynamics admin chooses the preferred structure based on your fulfillment workflow.
MeasureSquare
Product Database
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Product + PriceListDetail
1:1MeasureSquare Product Database is a proprietary format (exported as versioned .m8 or Excel) containing vendor SKUs, material descriptions, unit costs, labor rates, and trade groupings. Dynamics 365 Products use the Product entity with ProductNumber, Name, Unit, and DecimalDiscount fields. FlitStack transforms the MeasureSquare product rows into Dynamics Products and builds PriceListDetails per vendor/customer pricing tier. This is the highest-complexity object in the migration due to value mapping per vendor.
MeasureSquare
Jobsite
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom 'Jobsite__c' Table or Account Custom Fields
1:1MeasureSquare Jobsite is a sub-record of Customer containing the project address, scope of work description, assigned estimator, and jobsite-level notes. Dynamics 365 has no native jobsite concept. FlitStack creates a custom Jobsite__c table in Dataverse linked to AccountId, or maps jobsite address and scope to custom fields on the Account — your admin selects the preferred model. Jobsite-to-project linkage is preserved via the Opportunity's jobsite reference.
MeasureSquare
User / Owner
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
SystemUser
1:1MeasureSquare users are assigned as project owners, estimators, or sales reps. Dynamics 365 OwnerId references a SystemUser record. FlitStack resolves MeasureSquare owner email addresses against Dynamics 365 user records by email match. Users with no matching Dynamics account are flagged in the pre-migration report — your team either creates the Dynamics user or assigns their records to a fallback owner before the migration run.
MeasureSquare
Attachments / Files
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
SharePoint Document Locations or Note Attachments
1:1MeasureSquare attachments include project files, PDF takeoffs, CAD exports, and product images stored in MeasureSquare Cloud. Dynamics 365 stores files in Notes (annotation) or SharePoint Document Locations linked to entities. FlitStack migrates in-line image attachments to Notes/Annotations. Large project files and CAD exports are exported to a SharePoint document library with folder structure mirroring the MeasureSquare project hierarchy — those are outside the CRM record but discoverable from the Account or Opportunity.
MeasureSquare
Activities (Tasks, Notes)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Task + Note
1:1MeasureSquare stores internal notes, estimator comments, and activity history tied to projects and customers. Dynamics 365 Task entities capture activity records with Subject, Description, OwnerId, and RegardingObjectId linking to the parent Account or Opportunity. FlitStack maps MeasureSquare note timestamps, owner, and body text to Dynamics Task records, preserving the original creation date as a custom field since Dynamics overwrites CreatedOn at migration time.

Migration approach
Discover MeasureSquare API access and data inventory
FlitStack identifies whether MeasureSquare Cloud API access is available by checking the admin-provisioned auth token. If only MeasureSquare 8 local databases are in use, we use the project item export or database file export path. We enumerate all Customers, Projects, Estimates, Quotes, Work Orders, Purchase Orders, Product Database versions, and attachment file paths. Owner email addresses are extracted for Dynamics user matching. This discovery phase produces a data inventory document that defines the exact record counts feeding into the migration scope and pricing.
Map MeasureSquare data model to Dynamics 365 entities and custom fields
FlitStack maps every source object to its Dynamics 365 equivalent — Customers to Accounts and Contacts, Projects to Opportunities with flooring-specific custom fields, Quotes to Dynamics Quotes, Work Orders to SalesOrders, and the Product Database to Dynamics Products and PriceListDetails. Custom fields for flooring attributes (Flooring_Type__c, Waste_Percentage__c, Seam_Direction__c, Pattern_Match__c, Estimate_Total__c, Materials_Total__c, Labor_Total__c) are documented in a schema plan your Dynamics admin creates before migration. Owner resolution maps MeasureSquare owner emails to Dynamics SystemUser records.
Extract, transform, and validate customer and project data
FlitStack pulls all customer and project records from MeasureSquare Cloud API (JSON format), transforms field names, formats, and pick-list values, and loads them into a staging environment. Address standardization is applied (city/state/zip validation). Owner email resolution runs against the Dynamics 365 user list — unmatched owners are flagged in a pre-migration report. The product catalog transformation (MeasureSquare database → Dynamics Products + PriceListDetails) runs as a separate sub-pipeline due to its complexity. Small attachments migrate to Notes/Annotations; large files and CAD exports are staged for SharePoint.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice migrates first — typically 100–500 records spanning customers, projects, estimates, quotes, and work orders. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values against destination values so you can verify flooring field mapping, estimate total aggregation, owner resolution, and product catalog transformation before the full run commits. You review the diff and approve before the full migration proceeds. This step catches mapping errors before they affect all records.
Execute full cutover with delta-pickup and rollback capability
The full migration runs against Dynamics 365 via the Dataverse Web API. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours, configurable) captures any MeasureSquare records created or modified during the cutover. An audit log records every operation — record count loaded, errors encountered, field-level transformations applied. If reconciliation fails or the data does not match expectations, one-click rollback reverts the Dynamics environment to its pre-migration state. After rollback, a corrected mapping plan is applied and the migration re-runs.
