Overview
MobiWork is a field services management platform built around work orders, scheduling, dispatching, and job-based invoicing — it excels at tracking what happened in the field but does not model the prospect-to-close pipeline the way a sales CRM does. Dynamics 365 Sales is built on Microsoft Dataverse with standard CRM objects: Accounts, Contacts, Leads, and Opportunities. The migration challenge is translating MobiWork's job-centric data model into a relationship-centric CRM model. We extract Customers and Prospects as Accounts and Contacts, map MobiWork quotes to Dynamics Opportunities or Opportunity Products, and surface work-order completion history as Activity records or custom fields on the Account. Scheduling, dispatching, route optimization, and parts-inventory data have no native Dynamics 365 Sales equivalent — we preserve these as custom fields or reference records for operational rebuild. Our migration uses the Dynamics 365 Web API with batch operations and the Dataverse bulk create endpoint to handle large record volumes efficiently.
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 MobiWork 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.
MobiWork
Customer
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1MobiWork customers map directly to Dynamics 365 Accounts. Account name, address, phone, and website transfer as-is. Parent-child company hierarchies in MobiWork map to the Parent Account lookup in Dynamics. Customers without company affiliation attach to a default 'Unassigned' Account or become Contacts with no parent Account.
MobiWork
Customer Contact
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Contact
1:1Named contacts on MobiWork customers transfer as Dynamics 365 Contacts linked to the corresponding Account. MobiWork contact roles (primary, billing, field contact) become Contact fields or custom pick-list values. Multiple contacts per customer map 1:N to the Account's contact subgrid.
MobiWork
Prospect
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Lead
1:1MobiWork prospects without active customer records transfer as Dynamics 365 Leads. Source field (referral, marketing campaign, walk-in) maps to Lead's Lead Source pick-list. Unqualified prospects retain their status as a custom field since Dynamics Leads use a different qualification model.
MobiWork
Quote
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity + Quote
1:1MobiWork quotes become Dynamics 365 Opportunities with product line items. The quote total and description map to Opportunity Amount and Description. Active quotes with status 'Sent' or 'Accepted' map to Opportunities with a matching stage. Rejected or expired quotes are archived as Opportunity history records.
MobiWork
Work Order
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Activity + Opportunity
1:1MobiWork work orders are the primary migration challenge — they have no native CRM equivalent. We create a custom WorkOrderHistory__c table (Dataverse custom table) linked to the Account, storing job date, technician, status, and total value. High-value completed work orders also generate Opportunity records representing service-as-product revenue.
MobiWork
Work Order Line Item
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity Product / Custom Table Row
1:1MobiWork work order line items (parts, labor, travel) transfer as Opportunity Product records if linked to an Opportunity, or as rows in the WorkOrderHistory__c custom table. Unit price, quantity, and tax transfer with type preservation. Discounts map to manual discount fields on the product line.
MobiWork
Schedule / Assignment
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
No Equivalent + Custom Field
1:1MobiWork technician schedules and dispatch assignments do not map to Dynamics 365 Sales — Dynamics lacks a scheduling engine. We preserve the last-known assignment date and technician name as custom fields on the Account or WorkOrderHistory__c record. Rebuild scheduling in Dynamics 365 Field Service or a third-party tool.
MobiWork
Invoice
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Field on Account + Dynamics 365 Business Central
1:1MobiWork invoices and payment records have no native Dynamics 365 Sales equivalent. Invoice totals, payment status, and last payment date transfer as custom fields on the Account. Full invoice history requires Dynamics 365 Business Central integration — we export invoice data as a reference file for Business Central import.
MobiWork
Electronic Form
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Note / Attachment / Custom Field
1:1MobiWork electronic forms (signatures, photos, inspection data) attach as Salesforce Files or SharePoint documents linked to the Account or WorkOrderHistory__c record. Form field values extract to custom fields where a 1:1 mapping exists, otherwise preserved as a structured JSON custom field for reference.
MobiWork
User / Owner
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
User (by email match)
1:1MobiWork user records match to Dynamics 365 Users by email address. Unmatched users are flagged before migration — either invite them to Dynamics 365 first or assign records to a fallback owner. MobiWork admin roles map to Dynamics security roles after your admin confirms the appropriate access level.
MobiWork
Inventory / Parts
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Product (read-only reference)
1:1MobiWork parts catalog and inventory levels do not map to Dynamics 365 Sales products — Sales manages product pricing lists, not inventory. We export the parts list as a Product import file for Dynamics 365 Business Central or your inventory management system. Work-order line items reference part numbers that can link to the exported product list.
MobiWork
Recurrent Service / Contract
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Contract Field + Opportunity
1:1MobiWork service contracts and recurring service agreements transfer as a custom ServiceContract__c field on the Account with contract start/end dates and frequency. Active recurring revenue from contracts generates Opportunities representing expected future work. Contract terms are preserved as a long-text custom field for reference.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit MobiWork data and design Dynamics 365 schema
We extract a full data export from MobiWork covering Customers, Prospects, Quotes, Work Orders, Invoices, Service Contracts, and User records. Your team confirms the work-order history cutoff date and any records to exclude. We then design the Dynamics 365 schema: creating the WorkOrderHistory__c custom table with required fields, adding custom fields to Account and Contact, and mapping Opportunity stages that reflect your post-migration sales process.
Match users by email and assign Dynamics security roles
MobiWork users resolve to Dynamics 365 Users by email address match. We run a pre-flight check identifying unmatched users — your admin either creates Dynamics accounts for them or assigns their records to a fallback owner. Security roles are assigned based on MobiWork admin/standard role mappings your team provides. This step ensures no record lands without a valid Dynamics owner.
Migrate core entities — Accounts, Contacts, Leads, and Opportunities first
We sequence the migration to respect Dynamics foreign-key constraints: Accounts and Contacts load first, then Leads, then Opportunities referencing Accounts and Contacts. Quotes translate to Opportunities with estimated value and status. Each batch runs with rollback capability. Field-level validation confirms that required pick-list values in Dynamics exist before records load — missing value options are created before the batch runs.
Load work-order history as custom table records
Completed work orders transfer to the WorkOrderHistory__c custom table linked to the parent Account. Line items (parts, labor, travel) attach to each work-order record. We run the load in batches to respect Dynamics Dataverse API limits. Any work orders that reference deleted or missing customers are flagged in a separate exception report for manual review. Electronic form attachments (signatures, photos) upload to SharePoint or Dataverse file storage linked to the work-order record.
Run sample migration with field-level diff and validate record counts
The sample migration runs on a representative subset — typically 100–500 records covering Customers, Contacts, Quotes, and Work Orders. We produce a field‑level diff that juxtaposes source values against the newly created Dynamics records, exposing transformation errors, missing pick‑list values, truncated text, or mismatched data types. Your team reviews the diff report, confirms mapping accuracy, and approves before the full dataset is committed. Record counts are then cross‑checked against the original export totals to guarantee no records were omitted or duplicated.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup and audit log
The full migration runs in batches with Dataverse bulk operations for efficiency. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours after the initial run captures any records created or modified in MobiWork during the cutover period. Every operation logs to an audit table — inserts, updates, skips, and exceptions. One-click rollback reverts all migrated records if reconciliation fails. Your team receives a migration summary report with record counts, exception log, and data quality metrics.
