Overview
Mobile worker platforms typically model field operations as Workers, Work Orders, Jobs, Locations, and Time Entries — a structure optimized for dispatch and service delivery rather than sales pipeline management. Freshsales uses the standard CRM object model: Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Deals (Opportunities), Tasks, and Events, with lifecycle stages that track prospect progression. FlitStack AI migrates your worker records into Freshsales Contacts or Leads based on their status, maps work orders to Deals with pipeline and stage preservation, and translates location and time-tracking data into Freshsales custom fields or Sales Activities. Automations, dispatch rules, and field-service-specific workflows do not have a Freshsales equivalent and must be rebuilt using Freshsales Workflows or the Automation section after migration. We use Freshsales REST API (1000–5000 calls/hour depending on your plan tier) with rate-limit-aware batching to move records in the correct dependency order — Accounts first, then Contacts, then Deals — so foreign-key relationships resolve cleanly. All original create and update timestamps are preserved as custom datetime fields since Freshsales sets CreatedDate at import time.
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 Mobile Worker 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.
Mobile Worker
Field Worker / Mobile Worker
Freshsales
Contact / Lead
1:manyActive field workers with completed jobs route to Freshsales Contact. Workers with no associated customer account or unqualified status route to Lead. The split is based on the worker's last job status and account association in the source platform. If a worker has multiple completed jobs across different accounts, the most recent job determines the routing.
Mobile Worker
Customer / Account
Freshsales
Account
1:1Customer organizations in the mobile worker platform map 1:1 to Freshsales Accounts. Account name, industry, employee count, and annual revenue transfer as standard Account fields. Multi-location customers create one Account with address fields populated from the primary location record. When a customer has several sites, the primary site address is used for the Account's billing address, and additional site details are stored in a custom field.
Mobile Worker
Work Order / Job
Freshsales
Deal
1:1Work orders map to Freshsales Deals with the pipeline determined by job type (service, installation, maintenance). Deal Name is constructed from Job Number + Customer Name. Amount maps from the estimated or actual job value field. Stage maps from job status using value-mapping rules per pipeline.
Mobile Worker
Job Pipeline / Job Status
Freshsales
Freshsales Pipeline + Stage
1:1Each distinct job workflow in the mobile worker platform (e.g., Service Jobs, Install Jobs) becomes a separate Freshsales Pipeline. Job status values (Created, Assigned, Dispatched, En Route, On Site, Completed, Invoiced) map to corresponding Freshsales stage names per pipeline using value-by-value mapping rules.
Mobile Worker
Location / Site Address
Freshsales
Account Shipping Address + Custom Fields
1:1Job site addresses populate the Account's shipping address fields in Freshsales. Multiple sites per customer create a primary Account with site-specific address data stored in a custom multi-select or text field for reference — Freshsales does not natively support N:1 site-to-account hierarchies.
Mobile Worker
Time Entry / Time Punch
Freshsales
Sales Activity (Task / Event)
1:1Worker clock-in/clock-out records and total hours worked per job migrate as Freshsales Tasks with Type = 'Custom Activity' and subject = 'Field Time Entry'. Original timestamps and duration in minutes are preserved in custom datetime and number fields on the task.
Mobile Worker
Visit Log / Checkpoint
Freshsales
Sales Activity (Event)
1:1GPS checkpoint records showing worker arrival and departure at job sites migrate as Freshsales Events with original start/end datetime, linked to the corresponding Deal. Event subject is set to 'Site Visit' with location details in the description field. If multiple checkpoints exist for a single job, each is recorded as a separate Event, preserving the full visit timeline for audit and reporting purposes.
Mobile Worker
Equipment / Asset
Freshsales
Custom Module (Enterprise) or Custom Fields on Account/Deal
1:1Equipment records associated with jobs require Freshsales Enterprise for custom module creation. Without Enterprise, equipment serial number, make/model, and service history migrate as custom fields on the Deal or Account. Equipment-to-job associations are preserved as a text or lookup field.
Mobile Worker
Worker Owner / Assigned Technician
Freshsales
Freshsales Owner (User)
1:1Worker records include an owner or assigned technician field. FlitStack resolves this against Freshsales Users by email match. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — either invite them to Freshsales first or assign their records to a fallback owner. If a worker has multiple assigned technicians, the primary technician is used for the OwnerId, and secondary technicians are stored in a custom multi-select field.
Mobile Worker
Job Attachments / Photos
Freshsales
Freshsales Files
1:1Photos and documents attached to work orders download and re-upload to Freshsales Files, linked to the corresponding Deal record. File size limits per Freshsales plan apply (Growth: 2GB/user; Pro: 5GB/user; Enterprise: 100GB/user). Inline images in notes are extracted and rehosted as separate attachments.
Mobile Worker
Custom Fields (Worker)
Freshsales
Custom Fields on Contact/Lead
1:1Any custom properties on worker records (certification level, vehicle ID, skill set) migrate as Freshsales custom fields on Contact or Lead. Field type mapping is applied: text to text, number to number, picklist to picklist. Custom field creation is scoped to the migration plan before data loads.
Mobile Worker
Notes / Internal Comments
Freshsales
Freshsales Notes
1:1Job-level notes and internal comments migrate as Freshsales Notes attached to the corresponding Deal. Original create datetime and author (worker name) are preserved in note metadata fields. If a note contains references to attachments or other work orders, those links are recreated as Freshsales file attachments or related deal links to maintain context across records.
Mobile Worker
Invoice / Billing Record
Freshsales
Deal Custom Fields (no native billing object)
1:1Invoice records and billing status from the mobile worker platform have no direct Freshsales equivalent — Freshsales does not include a billing or accounting module. Invoice amount, status, and payment date are preserved as custom fields on the Deal for reporting continuity.
Mobile Worker
Routing / Dispatch Rules
Freshsales
N/A — Freshsales Workflows
1:1Dispatch rules, geofence triggers, and route optimization logic built in the mobile worker platform do not transfer. These are rebuilt as Freshsales Workflows: auto-assignment rules handle worker routing, and location-based triggers require Freshsales territory management configuration. During the rebuild, FlitStack documents the existing rule conditions and priority order so that Freshsales workflows can replicate the original dispatch logic as closely as possible.

Migration approach
Audit source data model and build the migration schema plan
FlitStack reads your mobile worker platform's object structure via API export — workers, jobs, customers, time entries, locations, and any custom entities. We identify which Freshsales objects each entity maps to, which custom fields need creation, and which pipeline configuration is required per job type. The schema plan includes Freshsales field creation specs, pipeline names, stage values, and lead-conversion field mapping requirements — delivered before any data moves.
Resolve worker owners and assign Freshsales users by email
Worker owner and assigned technician fields in the mobile worker platform are matched against Freshsales Users by email address. FlitStack generates a match report showing resolved owners, unmatched owners, and a fallback assignment rule for records where no Freshsales user exists. Your admin either invites missing users before migration or designates a fallback owner — no record lands without a valid Freshsales OwnerId.
Sequence migration: Accounts → Contacts → Deals → Activities
Freshsales requires Accounts to exist before Contacts (via Contact.AccountId) and Contacts or Leads before Deals (via Deal.ContactId and Deal.AccountId). Activities attach to parent records. FlitStack sequences the migration so foreign keys resolve correctly in dependency order. Custom fields are created in Freshsales before their respective object loads so no field-missing errors occur during import. Each batch is processed with rate-limit awareness, and a validation step confirms all required fields are present before committing the batch, minimizing the risk of partial loads.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of records — typically 100–500 spanning workers, accounts, jobs, and activities — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff showing source value vs. destination value for every mapped field so you can verify job-status-to-stage mapping, pipeline assignment per job type, owner resolution, and timestamp preservation before the full run commits. The diff also flags any unhandled picklist values, missing custom fields, and data truncation risks. Edge cases such as records with multiple site addresses or non-standard job types are included to validate mapping completeness.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup and audit log
The full record set migrates with rate-limit-aware batching tuned to your Freshsales plan tier. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any records modified in the mobile worker platform during cutover. FlitStack produces an audit log of every operation — record count, success/failure per object, and timestamp. One-click rollback is available if post-migration reconciliation identifies issues. Each batch includes retry logic for transient API errors, ensuring high reliability. The delta window runs concurrently with the cutover, allowing the source system to remain active without downtime. The audit log is exported in CSV format for downstream analysis.
