Migrate your Metis CRM data
All-in-one CRM and project management platform built for agencies, freelancers, and professional services teams managing clients, projects, and time tracking in one place.
In its favor
Why people choose Metis CRM
The signal that keeps Metis CRM on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Agencies and professional services teams choose Metis because it consolidates CRM, project management, job costing, and time tracking into a single platform instead of running separate tools.
Freelancers and small teams pick Metis for its client database, quote generation, and sales pipeline management without needing a full enterprise CRM setup.
The resource management and resourcing report features appeal to teams managing staff utilization across multiple concurrent client jobs.
Time and expense tracking integrated directly into the CRM reduces the need for separate billing or timesheet software.
Small businesses moving from spreadsheets to a structured tool find Metis's three-zone workflow (gather data, track performance, action change) easy to adopt.
Teams outgrow the platform when they need deeper marketing automation, advanced multi-pipeline reporting, or CRM features beyond basic sales pipeline management.
Lack of a documented public API limits integration options, forcing teams to manual exports or workarounds that become unsustainable at scale.
Project-heavy teams report that job costing and resourcing features are functional but lack the depth of dedicated project management tools.
Small teams report that pricing for multiple users adds up, especially when the feature set overlaps with cheaper standalone tools for specific use cases like time tracking.

What gets migrated
Metis CRM object support
Object-by-object support for Metis CRM migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Clients
Fully supportedClient records are the primary parent object in Metis. Each client can be exported independently from the Clients zone with no edition gating. We extract all standard client fields including contact info and company associations from the flat export.
Opportunities
Fully supportedOpportunities are exported from the Opportunities zone as both a list view and a report with time-period filtering. Stage, value, and pipeline associations are preserved in the export. We map opportunity-stage values directly to destination pipeline stages.
Jobs
Fully supportedJobs represent active project records and export from the Jobs zone with status, client association, and dates. Job costing fields are included in the full export. We sequence Jobs migration after Clients to maintain foreign-key integrity.
People
Fully supportedPeople records are the contact objects in Metis and export from the dedicated People zone as both list and report views. We extract all person-level fields including role, contact details, and related client associations.
Timesheets
Mapping requiredTimesheets export from the Manage section as a structured grid. Time entry granularity depends on how the team logged time — billable vs non-billable flags may vary. We map time entries to the destination system's equivalent time-tracking object and flag any entries without a linked Job as orphan records.
People Expenses
Mapping requiredPeople Expenses export from the Manage zone with receipt image files stored separately. The CSV export does not embed images. We handle receipt images as a parallel file transfer and map expense categories to destination taxonomy.
Central Expenses
Mapping requiredCentral Expenses are agency-level overhead costs exported from the Manage zone separately from People Expenses. Receipt images are also stored as separate files. We preserve the expense category and amount fields in the primary migration and flag image associations for manual reattachment.
Xero-friendly People Expenses
Not in this platformThis is a Xero-specific export format variant that reformats People Expenses into Xero-compatible schema. It is a destination-side format, not a source object. We do not treat Xero-friendly exports as migration source data — we migrate the standard People Expenses export instead.
Resourcing Report
Mapping requiredResourcing reports are a Metis-specific reporting view combining People availability with Job assignments. The export is a filtered view, not a transactional object. We extract the underlying data from Jobs and People rather than the report itself, then replicate the resourcing perspective in the destination system.
