Overview
mobileWorker platforms (Esri ArcGIS Mobile Worker, Totalmobile, MaintainX, UpKeep) manage a fundamentally location-and-asset-centric data model — Workers, Sites/Addresses, Work Orders, Assets, and Activities are stored as independent records with GPS coordinates, status codes, and schedule metadata. Pipedrive uses a CRM-oriented model organized around Person (contact), Organization (company), Deal (opportunity), Activity (task/event), and Product entities, with all activity records requiring a foreign-key link to a deal, person, or organization. FlitStack AI extracts the full mobileWorker object graph via API where available, normalizes work-order headers into Pipedrive deals, maps personnel records to Person objects with matching custom fields, and attaches site visits and work-order completion activities to the corresponding Pipedrive deals. The migration does not carry mobileWorker's workflows or scheduling automations — those are rebuilt in Pipedrive's Automation and Workflow features post-migration. A delta-pickup window during cutover captures any work orders created or updated between the snapshot and go-live, and FlitStack's audit log documents every field translation for reconciliation.
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 MobileWorker object lands in Pipedrive, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
MobileWorker
Worker / Technician
Pipedrive
Person
1:1mobileWorker stores field technicians as named records with contact details, skills, and certification fields. FlitStack maps the primary technician contact to a Pipedrive Person record — the worker's email, phone, and name become the Person's standard fields. Custom certification or skill-code fields on the worker record migrate as Pipedrive custom fields on the Person object.
MobileWorker
Customer / Account
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1The customer or account record in mobileWorker — the entity receiving field service — maps directly to a Pipedrive Organization. The Organization's name, address, industry, and phone pull from the source account record. If mobileWorker stores multiple service sites per customer as separate records, each site becomes its own Organization with a parent-child link preserved via a custom field, or all sites roll up to a single Organization per your specified rule.
MobileWorker
Work Order
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1mobileWorker work orders are the primary operational record — they contain the job description, status, priority, assigned worker, scheduled date, and site reference. FlitStack maps work order headers to Pipedrive Deals: the work order title becomes the Deal name, the estimated or billed amount maps to Deal value, the status code (Open, In Progress, Completed, Cancelled) maps to a Pipedrive stage within your defined pipeline, and the scheduled date maps to the expected close date. Custom work-order fields (e.g., service type, priority level, equipment used) become Pipedrive custom fields on the Deal.
MobileWorker
Work Order Line Item / Service Task
Pipedrive
Deal (extended via custom fields)
many:1When a single work order contains multiple line items or service tasks, FlitStack merges these into the parent Deal record using a custom field format (e.g., 'Service Tasks: Task 1 | Task 2 | Task 3') or a Products attachment on the Deal. Pipedrive's native Products feature can alternatively be used to create a Product record per service type and link it to the Deal via Deal-Product association — this approach is recommended when line items need individual pricing.
MobileWorker
Site / Location / Address
Pipedrive
Organization (address fields) + custom coordinates field
1:1mobileWorker stores site addresses with GPS coordinates (latitude/longitude) as the primary location identifier. Pipedrive's address fields accept formatted street/city/state/postal code/country strings. FlitStack extracts the formatted address into Pipedrive's standard address fields and stores the raw lat/long coordinates as a custom text field (Site_LatLong__c) on the Organization so geo-enrichment tools can re-use the coordinate data post-migration.
MobileWorker
Asset / Equipment
Pipedrive
Product
1:1Field-service assets and equipment records in mobileWorker map to Pipedrive Products when the asset has a serviceable part number or pricing. If the asset is a non-inventoried piece of equipment tracked for maintenance history, FlitStack creates it as a Product record with a custom field flag (Asset_Flag__c) and stores the asset ID in a custom field (Source_Asset_ID__c) for traceability back to the mobileWorker record.
MobileWorker
Work Order Activity / Site Visit
Pipedrive
Activity
1:1mobileWorker logs field activities — site visits, equipment inspections, job completions — as timestamped events linked to a work order and a worker. FlitStack maps each activity to a Pipedrive Activity record (type: 'Task' or 'Call' as appropriate), preserving the original timestamp, duration, worker name, and any notes. The activity is linked to the corresponding Pipedrive Deal (from the parent work order) so Pipedrive's timeline view shows the full service history per deal.
MobileWorker
Notes / Attachments
Pipedrive
Note + File URL
1:1Work-order notes and photo attachments from mobileWorker are extracted and re-hosted. Pipedrive Notes are created linked to the target Deal or Person, with the original note text preserved and formatted timestamps included. Photo and document attachments are uploaded to Pipedrive's file storage (respecting Pipedrive's file size limits — 100 MB per file on Enterprise, 25 MB on lower tiers) or stored externally with a URL reference field added to the Deal.
MobileWorker
Worker Assignment / Dispatch Record
Pipedrive
Activity (type: Task)
1:1When a work order is dispatched to a specific worker, FlitStack creates a Pipedrive Activity of type 'Task' on the Deal, with the task subject set to the dispatch event, the assigned worker noted in the activity body, and the dispatch timestamp preserved. This gives Pipedrive users visibility into the dispatch history within the deal timeline without requiring a separate dispatch module.
MobileWorker
Status History / Stage Log
Pipedrive
Activity (log entry) + custom stage-history fields
1:1mobileWorker tracks work-order status transitions (e.g., Created → Assigned → In Progress → Completed). FlitStack preserves this history as a sequence of timestamped Activity log entries appended to the Deal's timeline, with each entry noting the previous and new status. For reporting continuity, the original stage-transition timestamps are also stored in custom datetime fields on the Deal.
MobileWorker
Custom Work Order Properties
Pipedrive
Custom Fields on Deal
1:1Any custom fields defined on the Work Order object in mobileWorker — such as service-category codes, billing tier, customer-reference numbers, or regulatory compliance flags — require pre-created Pipedrive custom fields on the Deal object. FlitStack delivers a custom-field creation checklist before the migration run so Pipedrive admins can set up the fields with matching names, enabling auto-mapping on import.
MobileWorker
Scheduling / Dispatch Rules
Pipedrive
Pipedrive Automation (post-migration rebuild)
1:1mobileWorker's scheduling and dispatch logic — including availability matching, skill-based routing, and geo-optimized routing rules — has no Pipedrive equivalent and does not migrate. FlitStack exports the current scheduling configuration as a JSON specification document that your Pipedrive admin or implementation partner uses to rebuild equivalent automations using Pipedrive's Automation feature and any third-party scheduling integrations (e.g., Calendly, Chili Piper).

Migration approach
Extract mobileWorker data via API and structured export
FlitStack connects to your mobileWorker instance using the platform's API (Esri ArcGIS REST API, Totalmobile API, or the respective platform's export endpoint) and pulls all Workers, Customers/Accounts, Work Orders, Assets, Activities, and Notes as structured JSON or CSV. For platforms without a full API export, a CSV bundle is generated from the admin export tool. The extraction includes all standard fields and custom properties. A snapshot timestamp is recorded at extraction start — this marks the cutoff for the delta-pickup window.
Design Pipedrive schema and pre-create custom fields
FlitStack delivers a Pipedrive setup plan specifying: the Deal pipeline and stage names matching your work-order status codes; the list of custom fields to pre-create on Deal, Person, and Organization with correct field types; and the email domain used for owner resolution. Your Pipedrive admin creates the fields and pipeline in Settings. FlitStack validates the schema against the extraction before any data is written to Pipedrive — if a required field is missing, the validation report flags it before the migration run starts.
Resolve Person and Organization ownership by email
Worker records are matched to Pipedrive Person records by email address. Unmatched workers are flagged in a pre-migration report — your team either invites them to Pipedrive as users first or assigns their work orders to a designated fallback Person. Customer accounts are matched to Pipedrive Organizations by name or a pre-shared source ID. When multiple mobileWorker sites share one customer, FlitStack creates separate Organization records linked by a custom Parent_Organization__c field, preserving the site hierarchy in Pipedrive's organization tree.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 200–500 records — spanning work orders across all status values, sites with GPS coordinates, worker activities, and custom fields — migrates to Pipedrive in a sandbox or shadow environment. FlitStack generates a field-level diff report showing every source field, its mapped Pipedrive field, the translated value, and any transformation applied (coordinate formatting, status code mapping, activity re-linkage). You review the diff, flag any mapping you want adjusted, and FlitStack updates the migration map before the full run.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup and audit log
The full migration loads into Pipedrive using API v2 endpoints, respecting rate limits per your plan tier. A delta-pickup window (24–72 hours) opens simultaneously — any work orders created or status-changed in mobileWorker during the cutover are captured and appended to the Pipedrive dataset. FlitStack's audit log records every record written, every field translated, and every activity re-linked, producing a migration manifest you can use for internal audit or compliance review.
Validate, rollback capability, and handoff for automation rebuild
After the full migration, FlitStack runs a reconciliation report comparing record counts, field-population rates, and activity linkage percentages against the source extraction. If reconciliation metrics fall below the agreed threshold (default: 99.5% of records migrated, 100% of deal-activity associations preserved), one-click rollback reverts the Pipedrive environment to its pre-migration state. Handoff documentation includes the exported scheduling-config JSON for rebuilding dispatch rules in Pipedrive Automations, and a rebuild-reference document for your Pipedrive admin covering the pipeline-stage and automation triggers equivalent to the mobileWorker workflow logic.
