Overview
OptimoRoute stores a field-service data model centered on Drivers, Orders, Routes, and Proof of Delivery. Each order holds an address, time window, priority, assigned driver, and associated POD (signature, photo, GPS, notes). HighLevel uses a contact-centric CRM model with Contacts, Companies, Opportunities, Tasks, and Custom Objects — pipelines track deal stages, not route-stop states. The structural gap is wide: route geometry, driver skills, vehicle capacity, and real-time GPS tracking have no native HighLevel equivalent. FlitStack AI extracts OptimoRoute data via its REST API (rate-limited to 5 concurrent requests per account), transforms driver records into HighLevel contacts, maps orders to custom opportunity-like objects or contact records, re-attaches POD files to contact records, and surfaces routing-state fields as custom fields. Route optimization itself cannot migrate — the planned route geometry and algorithm outputs are OptimoRoute-native and must be recreated using HighLevel Workflows post-migration. The migration does not carry OptimoRoute's routing engine, driver app configuration, or vehicle constraint settings.
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 OptimoRoute object lands in HighLevel, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
OptimoRoute
Driver
HighLevel
Contact
1:1OptimoRoute drivers map 1:1 to HighLevel contacts. Driver name, email, phone, and address fields carry over as standard contact fields. Vehicle capacity, vehicle type, and driver skill tags require custom fields on the contact record since HighLevel has no native vehicle or skills object.
OptimoRoute
Order
HighLevel
Contact (or Custom Object)
1:1OptimoRoute orders map to a HighLevel custom object (named 'Delivery Order') because HighLevel has no native order or stop object. Each order record holds address, time window, priority, and status. Route assignment and driver assignment live as custom lookups or string fields pointing to the receiving contact record.
OptimoRoute
Route
HighLevel
Custom Object + Custom Fields
1:1OptimoRoute routes hold driver assignment, ordered stop sequence, and route-level metadata. HighLevel has no route object. We map routes to a 'Route' custom object with custom fields for driver contact, stop count, and route date. The actual optimized stop sequence does not migrate — it is OptimoRoute's algorithm output with no HighLevel equivalent.
OptimoRoute
Proof of Delivery
HighLevel
Contact (attachments + custom fields)
1:1OptimoRoute POD records (signature image, photo, GPS coordinates, timestamp, and delivery notes) attach as files to the receiving contact record in HighLevel. The original signature images and photos are uploaded as HighLevel file attachments on the contact record. The GPS latitude/longitude coordinates and delivery timestamp are stored in custom fields (POD_Latitude__c, POD_Longitude__c, POD_Timestamp__c) since HighLevel has no native proof-of-delivery object.
OptimoRoute
Custom Order Field
HighLevel
Custom Object Field
1:1OptimoRoute text, number, and single-select custom fields map to HighLevel custom object fields of equivalent type. Single-select options transfer as pick-list values; multi-line text becomes HighLevel long-text fields. Type mismatches (e.g., OptimoRoute single-select to HighLevel multi-select) require explicit value mapping during migration.
OptimoRoute
Order Status
HighLevel
Custom Field on Delivery Order (Custom Object)
1:1OptimoRoute order statuses (Pending, In Progress, Completed, Failed, Skipped) map to a custom pick-list field on the Delivery Order custom object in HighLevel. Each status value is recreated as a pick-list option so reports and filters behave consistently with the source.
OptimoRoute
Driver Vehicle
HighLevel
Custom Fields on Contact
1:1OptimoRoute vehicle data (license plate, capacity, type) has no native HighLevel equivalent. We map these to custom fields on the driver contact record: Vehicle_Capacity__c, Vehicle_Type__c, License_Plate__c. Your team decides whether to consolidate vehicle data under one contact or create a separate Vehicle custom object if fleet management reporting is needed.
OptimoRoute
Order Time Window
HighLevel
Custom Fields on Delivery Order
1:1OptimoRoute time windows (start time, end time for delivery) require two custom datetime fields on the Delivery Order custom object: Time_Window_Start__c and Time_Window_End__c. HighLevel's native date fields store a date only, not a time — custom datetime fields preserve the hour and minute precision from OptimoRoute.
OptimoRoute
Route Geometry / Stop Sequence
HighLevel
Not migratable
1:1OptimoRoute's optimized route geometry and the ordered sequence of stops within a route are outputs of its proprietary routing algorithm. HighLevel has no route geometry or stop-sequencing engine. The stop sequence cannot be reproduced from exported data alone and must be manually recreated using HighLevel Workflows if automated routing logic is needed post-migration.
OptimoRoute
Order Notes
HighLevel
Note (on Contact or Delivery Order)
1:1Order-level notes from OptimoRoute migrate as HighLevel notes attached to the corresponding delivery order record or contact. Original timestamps and authorship are preserved. If the note references a specific POD event, it is linked alongside the POD file attachment on the same contact record.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
OptimoRoute gotchas
API rate limit of 5 concurrent requests is migration-critical
Custom order fields are restricted to three types only
Proof of delivery assets require separate extraction and upload
Multi-day route plans must be deconstructed before migration
Driver activation codes are not returned by the API after creation
HighLevel gotchas
Sub-account architecture creates isolated data silos per client
Usage-based telecom and AI costs are not in the subscription price
Workflows have no native equivalent in most destination CRMs
API rate limits cap bulk migration throughput at 100 requests per 10 seconds per sub-account
White-label configuration and branding assets do not export via API
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit OptimoRoute data model and design HighLevel custom objects
FlitStack begins every migration with a structured audit of the source platform. We enumerate all OptimoRoute drivers, orders, routes, and custom field definitions — including single-select option sets, required vs. optional fields, and any custom order-field configurations. We then design the HighLevel custom object schema (Delivery_Order__c, Route__c) with the required custom fields, pick-lists, and file-attachment support before any data moves. The schema design plan is delivered for your HighLevel admin to review and create in the UI or via the HighLevel API.
Extract data from OptimoRoute API with rate-limit awareness
OptimoRoute's Web Service API enforces a maximum of 5 concurrent requests per account or IP address. FlitStack runs a rate-controlled extraction job that paginates through drivers, orders, routes, and POD records sequentially under this constraint. Custom field definitions and single-select option sets are extracted separately before record data so value-mapping tables can be built. Extraction runs in read-only mode with scoped access — no records are modified in OptimoRoute during this phase.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative sample — typically 50–100 records spanning drivers, orders, and POD attachments — is migrated into your HighLevel staging environment. We generate a field-level diff report comparing source values against destination values for every mapped field, including custom field pick-list fidelity, POD attachment integrity, and driver-contact email resolution. You review the diff and approve before the full run commits. Any field-mapping adjustments (missed custom fields, value-mapping gaps, address formatting issues) are corrected at this stage.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full dataset migrates into your live HighLevel environment. A delta-pickup window opens at the start of the migration run and remains open for 24–48 hours post-cutover, capturing any new orders, updated statuses, or driver record changes made in OptimoRoute during the transition. POD attachments are uploaded as HighLevel contact file attachments with original filenames and MIME types preserved. Audit log captures every operation. One-click rollback is available if record counts or attachment checks fail reconciliation.
Validate and reconcile with post-migration review
After migration, FlitStack delivers a reconciliation report: record counts by object, attachment count verification, custom field completion rates, and any unmapped records flagged for manual review. Driver-to-contact email resolution rates are reported (any unmatched drivers are flagged with the source email so your team can either invite the user to HighLevel or reassign their records). The OptimoRoute account remains accessible in read-only mode during this review period so your team can cross-check any record in question before decommissioning.
