Overview
Planado organizes field operations around Jobs, Clients, Locations, and Field Workers with GPS tracking, scheduling, and checklist-based reporting. Monday CRM operates on a board‑item‑column model where contacts, companies, deals, and activities live in customizable workspaces. The migration translates each Planado job into a Monday item, each client into a contact or company record, each location into an address or location column, and each checklist into subitems or long‑text fields. Custom job fields become custom columns using the closest native type, preserving original create and update timestamps for continuity. Planado automations, routing rules, and notification triggers do not transfer and must be rebuilt in Monday’s automation center using When‑Then recipes. FlitStack performs a pre‑migration data audit, designs the Monday board schema, runs a sample import with field‑level diff, then loads the full dataset while maintaining referential integrity. A 24–48 hour delta‑pickup window captures any in‑flight changes during cut‑over. The Monday workspace remains read‑only until go‑live, allowing your field team to keep working in Planado without interruption.
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 monday CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Planado
Job
monday CRM
Item (on CRM board)
1:1Planado jobs map directly to Monday CRM items. Each job becomes one item on your primary CRM board. Job status (pending, in-progress, completed) maps to the Status column values you define in Monday. Original create date and last-modified date are preserved in custom datetime columns.
Planado
Client
monday CRM
Contact + Company
many:1Planado clients with a single contact point become a merged Contact record. Clients with multiple contacts and billing details split into a Company record plus individual Contact records linked to the company. Your admin decides whether clients without a company affiliation become standalone contacts.
Planado
Location
monday CRM
Address Column / Custom Fields
1:1Planado job locations include street address, coordinates, and notes. These translate to Monday's Location column type (which displays a map pin) plus separate text columns for detailed address components. GPS coordinates become lat/long custom number fields for route planning integrations.
Planado
Field Worker
monday CRM
Person Column / Contact
1:1Field workers assigned to jobs map to Monday's Person column, which assigns a workspace user to the item. Workers who are not Monday users become contacts stored in a separate workers board or linked via email for later invitation today.
Planado
Checklist
monday CRM
Subitems / Checkbox Columns
1:1Planado checklists attached to jobs become either Monday subitems (one subitem per checklist item) or a set of checkbox columns depending on checklist length. We preserve checklist completion status and timestamps. Complex nested checklists expand into subitem hierarchies for tracking.
Planado
Job Comment / Update
monday CRM
Item Updates
1:1Field worker comments and status updates on Planado jobs migrate as Monday item updates with original timestamps and author attribution. This preserves the operational communication history attached to each job. These updates include notes on job status, field observations, and any customer interactions recorded during the visit.
Planado
Attachment / Photo
monday CRM
File Column / Documents
1:1Photos, signatures, and documents attached to Planado jobs re‑upload to Monday's File column or Documents section. File size limits (25MB per file in Monday) apply; oversized files are flagged for manual handling before migration. This ensures that all relevant attachments appear in Monday without data loss.
Planado
Custom Job Field
monday CRM
Custom Column
1:1Planado allows custom fields per job type (e.g., equipment model, service tier, priority flag). These map to Monday custom columns using the closest native type (text, number, dropdown, date, etc.). Complex custom field types may require a custom integration table.
Planado
Job History / Audit Log
monday CRM
Activity Column / Updates
1:1Planado records status transitions and worker check‑in/check‑out events. These history entries migrate as timestamped item updates in Monday, maintaining the full operational timeline for each job for compliance and performance review. This timeline supports audit trails, SLA tracking, and historical analysis of field operations.
Planado
Schedule / Route
monday CRM
Timeline Column + Calendar View
1:1Planado scheduled dates and route assignments translate to Monday's Timeline column (start and end dates) and can be visualized in Calendar view. Route groupings are preserved as board groups or tags for grouping jobs by route or day for planning.
Planado
Zapier / API Integration
monday CRM
monday Integrations
1:1Planado integrations connected via Zapier or API do not migrate. FlitStack documents each active integration for your team to rebuild in Monday using its integration center, Zapier, or Make. Active integrations are flagged before migration begins and assigned to the appropriate owner for implementation.
Planado
Billing / Invoicing Data
monday CRM
Custom Columns / Separate Board
many:1Planado job billing details (if stored) merge into Monday item columns or a dedicated billing sub‑board depending on data volume. Monday's native invoicing is limited; complex billing workflows typically require a separate finance tool integration. This ensures financial data is organized and accessible for reporting.

Migration approach
Audit Planado data structure and design Monday board schema
FlitStack extracts a full export of Planado jobs, clients, locations, field workers, checklists, and attachments via the Planado API. We analyze checklist depth, custom field types, attachment file sizes, and integration dependencies. Based on this audit, we deliver a Monday board‑design plan specifying column types, group structure, and any custom columns that require creation before data loads for a smooth transition.
Map Planado objects to Monday CRM entities and columns
We map every Planado entity (Job, Client, Location, Field Worker, Checklist) to its Monday CRM equivalent (Item, Contact, Company, Person column, Subitem). Custom fields in Planado map to custom columns using the closest Monday type. Multi-value fields (checklist items) are expanded to subitems or normalized into column sets. We document every mapping decision in a field-level mapping sheet for your review.
Create Monday workspace structure and custom columns
Before importing data, FlitStack provisions the required boards, groups, and column configurations in your Monday workspace. This includes creating custom columns for Planado fields with no native Monday equivalent (GPS coordinates, original create dates, worker IDs). Monday's per‑seat permissions are set to allow item creation during the migration window. This step runs in parallel with your team's Monday onboarding today.
Run sample migration with field-level diff and validation
A representative sample of 100–500 Planado jobs migrates first to the configured Monday board. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against destination item columns. You verify checklist translation, GPS column accuracy, contact linking, and file attachment presence. We refine the mapping based on your feedback before committing the full migration. Sample validation typically runs 2–4 hours depending on data complexity.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The complete Planado dataset loads into Monday CRM. FlitStack sequences the import in dependency order (Contacts → Companies → Items → Subitems → Files) to maintain referential integrity. During cutover, your field team continues working in Planado. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window captures any new jobs, status changes, or attachments created during the migration window. All operations are logged; one-click rollback is available if reconciliation uncovers unexpected discrepancies.
