Overview
Planado models field service operations around Tasks, Employees, Clients, and Sites — a schema optimized for dispatch, GPS tracking, and checklist-based job completion. Dynamics 365 Sales models revenue relationships around Accounts, Contacts, and Opportunities — a schema built for lead management, pipeline forecasting, and Microsoft 365 integration. FlitStack AI maps Planado's client and location records to Dynamics 365 Accounts with address preservation, converts completed tasks and checklist data into custom tables or Opportunity notes for historical reference, and surfaces employee records as Contacts or Users for territory alignment. The migration preserves original create dates, assignment timestamps, and checklist completion records. Workflows, scheduling rules, and GPS tracking configurations do not migrate — they must be rebuilt in Power Automate or Dynamics 365 Field Service. Our API-based extraction from Planado combined with Dynamics 365 Dataverse upsert handles the data transfer with field-level validation before commit. The core challenge lies in translating Planado's operational dispatch model into Dynamics 365 Sales' relationship-centric data architecture, requiring custom table creation for task history, checklist items, and GPS visit logs that have no native equivalents.
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 Planado 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.
Planado
Client
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1Planado Clients map to Dynamics 365 Accounts. Primary address from Planado client record moves to Account.Address1 fields. Parent-child site relationships in Planado map to Account.ParentAccountId hierarchy in Dynamics 365. FlitStack preserves the full address record including street, city, state, postal code, and country in separate Address1 fields for consistent geocoding and territory segmentation downstream.
Planado
Site / Location
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account (secondary) or custom Site table
1:1Planado Sites (physical locations per client) do not have a direct Dynamics 365 equivalent. FlitStack maps primary sites as Account records with site-type naming convention; additional sites move to a custom Site custom table or stored as address records on the parent Account.
Planado
Employee
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
User and Contact
1:manyPlanado employees who are licensed Dynamics 365 Sales users migrate as User records resolved by email match against your Entra ID tenant. Non-user employees including subcontractors, part-time staff, and seasonal workers migrate as Contacts linked to their primary Account for territory alignment, reference lookup, and scheduling purposes. OwnerId lookups on TaskHistory resolve during this split mapping phase.
Planado
Task
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom TaskHistory table or Opportunity Notes
1:1Planado Tasks (field jobs) do not map to Dynamics 365 Opportunities because Opportunities track revenue decisions, not service completions. Completed tasks migrate as records in a custom TaskHistory custom table keyed to Account, preserving job type, status, assignee, and completion timestamps.
Planado
Task Status
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom picklist on TaskHistory
1:1Planado task status values (Pending, In Progress, Completed, Cancelled) map to a custom picklist on the TaskHistory custom table in Dynamics 365. Each status code translates value-by-value with consistent labeling. Cancelled tasks migrate with a cancelled flag for historical completeness, ensuring your team can filter and report on cancelled work without data loss.
Planado
Checklist
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom ChecklistItem table or Note attachments
1:1Planado checklist items per task migrate as child records in a custom ChecklistItem custom table linked to TaskHistory. Item completion status, response values, and timestamps preserve the operational audit trail. Static checklists also export as PDF attachments to the parent Account.
Planado
Route / Schedule
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom RouteAssignment table
1:1Planado route assignments and scheduling rules have no Dynamics 365 Sales equivalent and do not migrate programmatically. FlitStack exports route definitions as a reference JSON file your Power Automate team uses to rebuild scheduling logic in Dynamics 365 Field Service, preserving the configuration intent for manual reimplementation.
Planado
GPS breadcrumb / visit log
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom FieldHistory table
1:1Planado GPS visit logs carry operational context but have no standard Dynamics 365 Sales equivalent. FlitStack preserves these as entries in a custom FieldVisitLog table linked to Account and TaskHistory for reference — these records serve as audit trail data, not as native Dynamics 365 activities, and require custom Power BI reports for visualization.
Planado
Report templates
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Power BI reports (not migrated)
1:1Planado report templates use Planado-specific formatting with no direct Dynamics 365 equivalent. FlitStack exports report definition metadata as a rebuild reference. Power BI dashboards built on migrated TaskHistory and ChecklistItem data provide equivalent reporting within Dynamics 365 using standard Power BI Desktop authoring tools.
Planado
Custom fields on any Planado entity
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom fields on corresponding Dynamics 365 table
1:1Planado custom fields migrate to matching custom fields on the destination table in Dynamics 365. FlitStack creates the custom fields in your Dynamics 365 environment during the pre-migration schema setup phase. Field type mapping (text, number, picklist) follows Dataverse type conventions for compatibility with Power Apps and Power Automate flows.

Migration approach
Audit Planado API export and Dynamics 365 environment schema
FlitStack connects to Planado via API to enumerate all Clients, Employees, Sites, Tasks, and custom fields. Simultaneously, we inspect your Dynamics 365 environment — identifying existing Account/Contact structure, current custom table count (for Professional tier compliance), and Entra ID user list for email-matching readiness. This produces a pre-migration schema gap report and a custom field creation list for Dynamics 365 before any data moves.
Create Dynamics 365 custom tables and field-level schema
FlitStack creates the TaskHistory custom table, ChecklistItem custom table, and FieldVisitLog custom table (if GPS data is present) in your Dynamics 365 environment, along with all required custom fields. We apply appropriate field types (picklists for task status, datetime for timestamps, lookup relationships to Account and User). If your environment is on Dynamics 365 Sales Professional and the custom field count exceeds 15 tables, we flag the licensing gap before proceeding.
Resolve Planado employees to Dynamics 365 Users by email match
FlitStack matches each Planado employee email against your Entra ID tenant list. Matched employees provision as Dynamics 365 Users. Unmatched employees flag for admin review — either invite them to the tenant or accept the Contact fallback. OwnerId lookups on TaskHistory records resolve at this step. Records without a resolvable owner assign to a designated fallback user you specify during onboarding.
Run sample migration with field-level diff on 100–500 records
A representative slice of Planado data — spanning Clients, Employees, Sites, Tasks, and ChecklistItems — migrates to Dynamics 365 first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff report showing source values against destination field values, mapping accuracy, and any picklist or lookup resolution failures. You review the diff, FlitStack adjusts mappings, and the sample run repeats until accuracy meets your threshold before the full migration commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and rollback readiness
Full data migration runs against Dynamics 365 — Clients to Accounts, Employees to Users/Contacts, Tasks to TaskHistory, ChecklistItems to ChecklistItem. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any Planado records modified during cutover. FlitStack writes an audit log of every record upsert operation. One-click rollback reverts the Dynamics 365 environment to its pre-migration state if reconciliation fails. Post-migration, you receive the Planado scheduling-rule JSON export as a rebuild reference for Power Automate or Field Service.
