Overview
Perfectview organises data around Relations, a single entity type that conflates company and contact information into one record. Monday.com CRM uses a board-based model with Items, Groups, and Columns rather than a traditional object hierarchy. We split every Relation into a Monday.com Company and one or more People records, using the role and address fields to determine correct placement. Activities, Cases, and Quotes map to custom Item boards with the appropriate column types. Custom fields migrate as typed Monday.com columns. We do not migrate Perfectview Workflows or automations; we deliver a written inventory of every active workflow with its trigger and action logic so your admin can rebuild in Monday.com's automation builder. Engagement history (calls, emails, meetings, tasks) preserves timestamps so the timeline is intact on day one.
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 Perfectview 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.
Perfectview
Relation
monday CRM
People + Company (split required)
1:manyPerfectview Relations combine company and contact data in a single record. We split each Relation into a Monday.com CRM Company record and one or more People records. The primary address and company-level fields populate the Company; individual contact details (name, email, phone, role) populate People records linked to that Company. Role fields within the Relation determine which contact gets which relationship type in Monday.com. This split logic must be validated against live data before bulk migration to avoid creating duplicate or orphaned records.
Perfectview
Activity
monday CRM
Activity Timeline Columns or Item Updates
1:1Perfectview Activities (calls, emails, meetings, tasks) are timestamped and linked to the parent Relation. We map these to the Monday.com CRM Item's Activity section or create a linked Activity board with a Mirror column pulling data from the primary CRM board. Meeting dates, call dispositions, and email timestamps preserve as column values. Activity type is stored in a Status column for filtering.
Perfectview
Lead
monday CRM
People (Status = Lead)
1:1Perfectview Leads may live as a Relation lifecycle stage rather than a distinct object. We map Lead records to Monday.com CRM People with a Lead Status column value set to distinguish them from converted customers. Lead source and score custom fields migrate as Monday.com column values.
Perfectview
Case
monday CRM
Item on a Support Board
1:1Perfectview Cases migrate as Items on a dedicated Monday.com CRM Support board. Case Status, Priority, and Assignee map to Status, Priority, and Person columns respectively. Case conversations migrate as Item Updates in chronological order. The linked Relation (now a Company and People) is stored via a Connect Boards column or text field for reference.
Perfectview
Quote
monday CRM
Item on a Quotes Board with Subitems
1:1Perfectview Quotes migrate as Items on a Quotes board with line items as Subitems. Each Subitem carries the product name, quantity, unit price, and discount. Quote status (Draft, Sent, Accepted, Rejected) maps to a Status column. The linked Relation reference is stored in a text or Connect Boards column.
Perfectview
Invoice
monday CRM
Item on a Billing Board
1:1Invoice records from Perfectview's billing module migrate as Items on a Billing board. Invoice number, amount, status, and due date map to the corresponding Monday.com columns. Note that Monday.com does not have native invoicing; if the customer requires invoice generation post-migration, a third-party integration (such as Qonto, Stripe, or a connected accounting tool) should be evaluated during Monday.com setup.
Perfectview
Document
monday CRM
File Attachments or Google Drive/OneDrive links
1:1Perfectview Documents migrate as file attachments on the relevant Monday.com CRM Items (People, Companies, Cases, Quotes) via the file upload API. If documents exceed Monday.com's storage limits, we store document URLs in a text column pointing to the original source or a linked cloud storage location.
Perfectview
Custom Field
monday CRM
Custom Column
lossyPerfectview custom fields on Relations and other objects map to Monday.com CRM custom columns of the equivalent type. Text fields become Text columns; numeric fields become Numbers columns; date fields become Date columns; multi-select fields become Dropdown or Tags columns. We discover all custom field definitions during the discovery phase and pre-create matching column configurations in each Monday.com board before migration.
Perfectview
User/Owner
monday CRM
Team Member
1:1Perfectview Users and Owner assignments on records migrate as Monday.com Team Members. Owner-to-record links are preserved in the mapping file and reassigned to matching Monday.com users. Any Owner without a matching Monday.com user is flagged in a reconciliation report for the customer's admin to provision before record import.

Migration approach
Discovery and Relation audit
We audit the Perfectview instance: total Relation count, custom field definitions on Relations and other objects, active workflow count and logic, activity volume, Case count and status distribution, and Quote and Invoice usage. We identify Relation records with multiple contact roles (triggering multi-People splits) and Relations with no contact data (Company-only candidates). This audit produces a written migration scope, a Relation split matrix, and a board architecture plan for Monday.com CRM.
Monday.com CRM board architecture setup
We create the target Monday.com CRM boards (People, Companies, Deals/Pipeline, Support/Cases, Quotes, Activity Log) and configure all columns before any data import. This includes standard CRM columns, custom columns mapped from Perfectview custom fields, Status columns matching Perfectview lifecycle values, and Connect Boards columns where relationships between boards must be preserved. Board architecture is set up in a staging environment first for validation.
Relation split and data transformation
We run the Relation-to-Entity split as the first transformation step. Each Relation generates one Monday.com CRM Company record. Contact-specific fields generate one or more People records linked to that Company. We apply the split matrix validated in discovery, store the original Relation ID in a text column for audit trail, and generate a reconciliation report showing Relation count in, Company count out, and People count out.
Board data migration in dependency order
We migrate data in record-dependency order: Companies first (People depend on them), then People (linked to Companies), then Cases (linked to Companies/People), then Quotes and line items (as Items and Subitems), then Activity history (as Updates or a linked Activity board). Owner assignments resolve via email match against Monday.com Team Members. Any unmapped Owner is held in a reconciliation queue.
Validation and reconciliation
We run row-count reconciliation comparing Perfectview source totals against Monday.com destination totals for each object type. We spot-check 30-50 records across Companies, People, Cases, and Quotes against the source to verify field-level accuracy. Any mapping errors are corrected in the transformation scripts and the affected records are re-imported. The customer reviews the reconciled sandbox and approves before production cutover.
Cutover, workflow handoff, and hypercare
We freeze Perfectview writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Monday.com as the system of record. We deliver the Workflow and automation inventory document to the customer's admin team, with each Perfectview workflow documented with its trigger, conditions, actions, and recommended Monday.com automation block equivalent. We support a three-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Perfectview workflows as Monday.com automations inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement.
