Overview
OptimoRoute and Monday CRM serve fundamentally different problems: OptimoRoute is a route-optimization and dispatch platform built around orders, drivers, vehicles, and optimized routes; Monday CRM is a board-based CRM built around contacts, deals, and customizable column types. The migration carries your operational data—customers, order history, delivery locations, driver records, vehicle assignments, and proof-of-delivery evidence—into Monday CRM entities. The central challenge is that OptimoRoute's routing engine, constraint-based optimization logic, and real-time dispatch behavior have no Monday CRM equivalent whatsoever; these must be rebuilt using monday.com automations, Groups, and custom columns or external routing tools after migration. FlitStack AI sequences the migration to preserve referential integrity: customers first, then orders with location data, then driver and vehicle records, then route-to-driver assignments. We export via OptimoRoute's JSON WS API (max 5 concurrent requests per account) and load into Monday CRM via its GraphQL API with account-tier rate limits (1,000–10,000 daily calls). A sample migration with field-level diff runs before the full cutover, and a delta-pickup window captures in-flight changes during the switch.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a OptimoRoute object lands in monday CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
OptimoRoute
Customer
monday CRM
Contact
1:1OptimoRoute customers map directly to Monday CRM contacts. Customer name becomes the contact name; primary address maps to Monday's Location column. Additional delivery addresses for the same customer are stored as custom address fields or secondary contacts with a 'Location Type' custom column to distinguish them from the billing contact.
OptimoRoute
Customer Contact (name, phone, email)
monday CRM
Contact (standard fields)
1:1Per-location contact details in OptimoRoute map to Monday CRM contact standard fields: contact name, phone number, and email address. When OptimoRoute stores multiple contacts per customer location, each contact is created as a separate Monday CRM contact linked to the same Account or grouped board item.
OptimoRoute
Order
monday CRM
Deal
1:1OptimoRoute orders map to Monday CRM deals with custom columns for order-specific data. Order ID becomes the deal name or a custom text field. Order type (Delivery, Pickup, Task) maps to a custom single-select column. Status, priority, duration, and time window constraints become custom columns in Monday CRM. The linked customer becomes the deal's associated contact.
OptimoRoute
Order Location / Address
monday CRM
Contact (Location field) + Deal custom field
1:1OptimoRoute stores addresses with geocoding status (Matching Location ID, Geocoded, Not Found). We preserve the full address string in Monday CRM's Location column and flag geocoding status as a custom single-select column so your team can review accuracy post-migration. Addresses that failed geocoding in OptimoRoute are flagged in Monday CRM for manual verification.
OptimoRoute
Route
monday CRM
Board Group or separate Delivery Board
1:1OptimoRoute routes represent optimized daily schedules with ordered stops. Monday CRM has no native route concept. We map each OptimoRoute route to a Group within a Delivery board, with route name as the Group label and route date as the Group's date context. Stop order is preserved in the Item's position within the Group and as a custom number column (Stop_Order__c) for sorting reference.
OptimoRoute
Driver
monday CRM
Monday CRM User or Contact with custom columns
1:1OptimoRoute drivers can map to Monday CRM users if they are also platform users, or to contacts with a 'Driver' custom column flag. Driver-specific fields—phone number, working hours, skills, vehicle assignment—become custom columns on the driver record. Monday CRM's per-seat pricing means each driver record has a cost implication if they also need a login.
OptimoRoute
Vehicle
monday CRM
Custom Vehicles Board with custom columns
1:1OptimoRoute vehicles carry capacity, type, features, and load specifications with no direct Monday CRM equivalent. We create a separate Vehicles board in Monday CRM with columns for vehicle name, type, capacity (volume, weight), features (refrigeration, liftgate), and current driver assignment. Vehicle IDs are preserved as text for traceability back to OptimoRoute records.
OptimoRoute
Proof of Delivery (signature, photo, notes)
monday CRM
Deal (File column) + custom text columns
1:1OptimoRoute POD data—digital signatures, photos, and rejection notes—migrates to Monday CRM deals as file attachments in the File column and as text fields capturing the POD status and notes. Original timestamps from OptimoRoute are preserved in custom datetime columns on the deal.
OptimoRoute
Route Assignment (Route → Driver)
monday CRM
Deal (assigned person column) + Group membership
1:1OptimoRoute route-to-driver assignments are mapped by assigning the Monday CRM deal item to the driver contact and ensuring it falls within the appropriate Group (route/date) in the Delivery board. The assigned person column on the deal reflects the responsible driver. Multiple drivers per route in OptimoRoute map to multiple deal assignments or subitems in Monday CRM.
OptimoRoute
Route Assignment (Route → Vehicle)
monday CRM
Deal (Vehicle column) + custom vehicle link
1:1Route-to-vehicle assignments in OptimoRoute map to a custom Vehicle lookup column on Monday CRM deals. We create a Vehicles board first, then link each deal to the assigned vehicle. Vehicle capacity constraints from OptimoRoute are preserved as read-only reference data in the vehicle record so dispatchers can verify load feasibility.
OptimoRoute
Custom Order Field (text, number, single-select)
monday CRM
Custom Column (text, number, dropdown)
1:1OptimoRoute custom order fields of type text (single-line, multi-line), number (with decimal precision), and single-select (predefined options) map to Monday CRM column types with equivalent behavior. The field name and option list values are preserved verbatim. Monday CRM's 30+ column types give us a close match for most OptimoRoute custom field types.
OptimoRoute
Order Priority
monday CRM
Deal custom column (single-select)
1:1OptimoRoute priority values—Critical, High, Medium, Low—map directly to a Monday CRM single-select column on the deal. We preserve the exact label names and apply a color-coding convention in Monday CRM matching your OptimoRoute priority colors where the platform supports it.

Migration approach
Audit OptimoRoute data via API and document the full object inventory
FlitStack AI connects to your OptimoRoute account via the WS API using your account key. We pull a complete inventory of all objects: customers with their locations and contacts, all orders with custom field definitions and values, driver records with skills and working hours, vehicle records with capacity and feature data, and route history for the past 90 days. We also capture OptimoRoute's API rate-limit status (5 concurrent requests) and any custom field type definitions. The output is a data-dictionary document listing every field, its OptimoRoute type, and our proposed Monday CRM column mapping—including custom columns that need to be created before the migration run.
Set up Monday CRM boards, columns, and custom fields
Before any data moves, we create the Monday CRM structure to receive it. This means creating a Customers board or using the native CRM Contacts module, a Deliveries board (or Deals with a custom delivery pipeline) with all required custom columns (Order_Type__c, Priority__c, Duration_Minutes__c, Time_Window_Start__c, Time_Window_End__c, POD_Notes__c, Geocoding_Status__c), and a Vehicles board with capacity and feature columns. We also set up Groups on the Deliveries board corresponding to your route structure (by day, by driver, or by region). Monday CRM custom columns are created via the GraphQL API; the number of custom columns directly affects the migration scope and price.
Build driver and vehicle records as Monday CRM contacts and board items
We migrate OptimoRoute drivers as Monday CRM contacts with a Driver flag custom column and driver-specific fields (skills, working hours). Driver records are created before order records so that the assigned driver column on each order can reference an existing contact. Vehicle records are created as items in the Vehicles board, with columns for name, type, capacity, and features. We preserve OptimoRoute driver and vehicle IDs as Source_System_ID__c fields for traceability and for post-migration reconciliation against your OptimoRoute export.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff on 100–500 orders
A representative slice of orders—covering at least 5 different order types, 3 priority levels, and a mix of completed and pending statuses—migrates first into your Monday CRM sandbox or a test workspace. We generate a field-level diff report showing every source field, its migrated value, and any transformation applied. You can verify that time windows map correctly, POD files attach to the right deals, priority labels render as expected, and assigned drivers link to the correct contact records. No data is deleted or overwritten during the sample; it serves as a validation checkpoint before the full run commits.
Execute the full migration with delta-pickup and audit log
The full migration runs in dependency order: customers and contacts first, then drivers and vehicles, then orders linked to their contacts and assigned drivers, then route groupings. We pace API calls to respect Monday CRM's daily rate limits and OptimoRoute's 5-concurrent-request cap. A delta-pickup window opens at migration start: any orders created or modified in OptimoRoute during the cutover are captured in a second pass and applied to Monday CRM before the final switch. Every operation is logged to an audit board in Monday CRM with the source record ID, destination record ID, operation type, and timestamp. One-click rollback reverts all Monday CRM records to their pre-migration state if reconciliation fails.
Post-migration review: geocoding flags, POD files, and routing rebuild planning
After the migration completes, we deliver a reconciliation report highlighting records with OptimoRoute geocoding warnings (Geocoding_Status__c not 'Matched'), orders missing POD evidence, and any orders where the assigned driver or vehicle link failed to resolve. Your team reviews these flagged records in Monday CRM and corrects them before go-live. We also provide a routing-rebuild reference document: for each OptimoRoute route, we list all its orders, locations, time windows, driver, and vehicle so your ops team or a routing consultant can reconstruct the scheduling logic in monday.com automations or a companion routing tool.
