Overview
MotionOps is an end-to-end field service management platform built for service contractors — combining CRM, scheduling, job costing, time tracking, invoicing, and QuickBooks integration in a single mobile-first system. Freshsales is a Freshworks sales CRM organized around Leads, Contacts, Accounts, and Deals with built-in telephony, AI-powered lead scoring, and workflow automation. The fundamental migration challenge is that MotionOps models service delivery (jobs, work orders, line items, employee assignments) while Freshsales models the sales pipeline (leads through opportunity close). FlitStack AI extracts MotionOps records via API, maps contacts to Freshsales Contacts or Leads based on lifecycle stage and job history, maps companies to Accounts, translates jobs into Deals using job-value fields, and surfaces custom field data that has no Freshsales equivalent as custom properties. Scheduling data, employee records, and QuickBooks sync configuration do not migrate — those represent destination-side configuration that must be rebuilt in Freshsales or re-implemented as Freshsales workflows. The migration preserves the operational context of service relationships while restructuring the data model to support Freshsales-native sales processes and pipeline reporting.
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 MotionOps 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.
MotionOps
Contact
Freshsales
Contact / Lead
1:manyMotionOps stores all people in a single Contact object. During migration, FlitStack evaluates each contact's status: if the contact has an associated closed job or paid invoice, it routes to Freshsales Contact; if the contact has no job history, it routes to Freshsales Lead. This split preserves the MotionOps service relationship for existing customers while keeping prospects in the Lead object for Freshsales lead scoring.
MotionOps
Customer (Company)
Freshsales
Account
1:1MotionOps Company records map directly to Freshsales Accounts. Address, phone, and billing information migrate as Account fields. Multi-location companies in MotionOps collapse to a single Account with address data aggregated — individual locations are preserved as custom fields or address records if Freshsales multi-address configuration is enabled on the destination account.
MotionOps
Job
Freshsales
Deal (Opportunity)
1:1MotionOps Jobs are the core operational record — each job has a status, assigned technician, scheduled time, address, line items, and cost breakdown. FlitStack translates each Job into a Freshsales Deal, mapping job name to Deal name, total job value to Deal amount, and job status to Deal stage. Unmapped fields like estimated hours, actual hours, and material cost become custom fields on the Deal record.
MotionOps
Work Order
Freshsales
Deal Product Line / Custom Field
many:1MotionOps Jobs contain one or more Work Orders, each with its own line items, labor rate, and material cost. FlitStack merges work order line items into the target Deal's product catalog — each work order becomes a product entry on the Deal. When the job has no product catalog equivalent in Freshsales, the line item data merges into a custom JSON or text field on the Deal record.
MotionOps
Proposal / Estimate
Freshsales
Deal (with custom stage)
1:1MotionOps proposals with accepted status convert to Deals with an 'Accepted Proposal' custom stage. Proposals in draft or sent status migrate as Deals in a 'Proposal' stage that maps to Freshsales pipeline stage values. Rejected proposals do not migrate as Deals — they are preserved as notes on the linked Account or Contact record.
MotionOps
Invoice
Freshsales
Account Note / Custom Field on Deal
1:1Freshsales does not have a native invoice object. MotionOps invoice records — including invoice number, status (paid/unpaid/overdue), amount, and QuickBooks sync status — are preserved as a custom field group on the linked Account and Deal. Invoice history is not stored as a transactional object in Freshsales and must be reconciled in an accounting system post-migration.
MotionOps
Appointment / Schedule
Freshsales
Event / Task
1:1MotionOps appointments (scheduled jobs with technician assignment and time windows) map to Freshsales Events with the original start/end time, assigned user (resolved by email), and address preserved. Appointments without a time block map as Tasks with the technician assigned as the task owner. Full route and optimization data does not have a Freshsales equivalent and is stored as a note attachment.
MotionOps
Employee / Team Member
Freshsales
User
1:1MotionOps stores team members with roles (technician, admin, manager), skill sets, and contact information. FlitStack resolves each member by email against Freshsales users — matched users receive record ownership. Unmatched members are flagged as 'Inactive owners' and records are reassigned to a designated fallback user. Skill and role data migrates to Freshsales user custom fields.
MotionOps
Timesheet / Time Entry
Freshsales
Task / Custom Field on Deal
many:1MotionOps time entries linked to a job migrate as task records attached to the corresponding Deal, with hours logged as a custom field. Standalone time entries not linked to a job (overhead hours) are stored as notes on the related Contact or Account. Billable vs. non-billable flag is preserved as a custom picklist field on the migrated task.
MotionOps
Custom Field (Job-level)
Freshsales
Custom Field (Deal-level)
1:1MotionOps custom fields on Jobs — such as job type, priority, equipment used, or special instructions — require corresponding custom fields in Freshsales on the Deal object. FlitStack creates these fields using the Freshsales custom field API (field type preserved: text, number, date, select, multi-select). Field-level permissions from Freshsales Enterprise tier are applied if the destination account uses field-level visibility rules.
MotionOps
Custom Field (Contact-level)
Freshsales
Custom Field (Contact/Lead-level)
1:1MotionOps contact custom fields (certifications, trade licenses, insurance expiry) map to Freshsales Contact custom fields. FlitStack creates these during the schema setup phase. Contact-level custom fields are preserved on both Contact and Lead records during migration so that split routing does not lose data.
MotionOps
Attachment / Photo
Freshsales
File Attachment on Deal / Contact
1:1MotionOps file attachments on Jobs and Contacts (photos, signed documents, equipment images) are re-uploaded to Freshsales as file attachments on the corresponding Deal or Contact record. Freshsales applies a 25MB per-file size limit. Files exceeding this limit are split or linked via a URL reference stored in a custom field.

Migration approach
Discover MotionOps schema and map to Freshsales object model
FlitStack connects to the MotionOps API and inventories all active objects — Contacts, Customers, Jobs, Work Orders, Appointments, Invoices, and every custom field in use. We simultaneously audit the target Freshsales account's existing schema: what custom fields already exist, what pipeline stages are configured, and which Freshsales plan tier determines available features (Growth, Pro, or Enterprise). The output is a migration plan document that specifies every object mapping, custom field to create, and value-mapping table for pick-list fields. This step typically takes 2–3 business days and requires read-only API access to MotionOps.
Resolve MotionOps owners against Freshsales users by email
FlitStack extracts the full list of MotionOps team members and matches each one by email address against the Freshsales user list. Matched users receive record ownership automatically. Unmatched members — former employees, inactive accounts, or members not yet provisioned in Freshsales — are flagged in a pre-migration owner report. Your team either invites these users to Freshsales before migration or designates a fallback owner. No record migrates without a resolved owner, preventing orphaned records in Freshsales.
Create custom fields and configure Freshsales schema
Before data moves, FlitStack creates all required custom fields in Freshsales — on Deal, Contact, Account, Lead, and Event objects — using the Freshsales custom fields API. Field types are preserved: text, number, date, select, multi-select, and checkbox all carry over with the same validation rules. Custom fields that exist in both platforms with matching names are linked directly; new fields are flagged for creation. On Freshsales Enterprise tier, field-level permissions are applied per the migration plan. This step runs in parallel with the sample migration to save time.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 100–500 records — spanning Contacts, Accounts, Deals (Jobs), and Events — migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff report comparing each source field against the destination field value, flagging any truncation, format change, or missing data. You review the diff to validate Lead/Contact routing, job-to-deal value mapping, owner resolution, and custom field population. This sample run must pass your sign-off before the full migration proceeds. Typically takes 4–8 hours of clock time depending on sample size.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
After sample approval, FlitStack runs the full migration. Accounts and Contacts migrate first (required for Deal foreign keys), followed by Deals with work-order-to-product translation, then Events and Tasks. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours opens at migration start, capturing any records created or modified in MotionOps during cutover. All operations are logged in an audit trail. If reconciliation reveals missing records or incorrect mapping, one-click rollback reverts the Freshsales instance to its pre-migration state. Full migration run time depends on record count — typically 8–24 hours for under 20,000 records, longer for larger datasets.
Post-migration validation and rebuild handoff
FlitStack delivers a post-migration validation report showing record counts by object, field population rates, and any unmapped or partially mapped records. A rebuild handoff package includes MotionOps workflow definitions exported as reference documents for rebuilding in Freshsales Workflows, the QuickBooks sync specification, and the employee-to-user role mapping audit. Your Freshsales admin uses these documents to reconstruct automation logic and re-establish the accounting integration — tasks that FlitStack supports with reference data but cannot execute on the destination platform.
