Overview
Planado is a field service management platform built around tasks, field workers, GPS tracking, and checklists for industries like HVAC, cleaning, and maintenance. Odoo CRM operates in a different paradigm — its core object is crm.lead (also called opportunity), and it models relationships through res.partner for contacts and companies. The migration therefore requires a conceptual translation: Planado jobs become leads or project tasks, clients become partner contacts, and field-worker assignments become activity logs on the lead record. FlitStack AI reads Planado data via its REST API and CSV export, maps each record to its Odoo equivalent, creates any required custom fields through Odoo Studio before ingestion, and loads via Odoo's XML-RPC API or CSV import. We preserve original create dates and FSM-specific fields (GPS coordinates, checklist responses, schedule assignments) as custom fields on crm.lead since Odoo CRM has no native field-service equivalent. Assignment rules, scheduling automations, and notification triggers are Planado-specific and have no Odoo CRM equivalent — we document them for manual rebuild in Odoo's action rules and server actions.
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 Odoo CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Planado
Planado Job
Odoo CRM
crm.lead
1:1Each Planado job maps to one Odoo crm.lead record. The job name becomes the lead name, job description maps to crm.lead description, and the job status drives the crm.lead stage value. FSM-specific fields like GPS coordinates, checklist responses, and schedule assignments are preserved as custom fields on crm.lead — Odoo CRM has no native field-service equivalent.
Planado
Planado Client
Odoo CRM
res.partner
1:1Planado clients map to Odoo res.partner records with partner_type set to 'contact' for individual contacts and 'company' for organizations. Client address fields (street, city, zip, country) map directly to res.partner address fields. The primary contact email and phone map to email and phone on res.partner.
Planado
Planado Job Task
Odoo CRM
mail.activity
1:1Planado task assignments on a job map to Odoo mail.activity records linked to the crm.lead. The activity type (call, email, meeting) is derived from the task type in Planado, and the assigned field worker is matched to a res.users record by email to set the activity user_id.
Planado
Planado Employee
Odoo CRM
res.users
1:1Planado employee records map to Odoo res.users so that task assignments and activity logs in Odoo carry the correct owner. The employee's name and email map to res.users name and login; phone is stored in the related res.partner contact record. Unmatched employees are flagged before migration.
Planado
Planado Job Attachment
Odoo CRM
ir.attachment
1:1Files attached to Planado jobs (photos, signed forms, documents) migrate to Odoo ir.attachment records with res_model set to 'crm.lead' and res_id set to the target lead ID. The original filename and file content are preserved; inline images are re-hosted in Odoo's filestore.
Planado
Planado Custom Field (Job)
Odoo CRM
crm.lead (custom field)
1:1Planado custom fields on jobs that have no Odoo CRM equivalent (GPS latitude/longitude, checklist responses, dependency chains) are created as custom fields on crm.lead via Odoo Studio or Settings > Technical > Custom Fields before ingestion. FSM-specific field labels are prefixed with 'FSM_' to distinguish them from standard CRM fields.
Planado
Planado Checklist Item
Odoo CRM
Custom text field on crm.lead
1:1Planado checklist items are stored as a structured text blob in Planado. Odoo CRM has no native checklist model, so checklist responses are consolidated into a single custom text field (Checklist_Responses__c) on crm.lead. Teams that need structured checklist lines can recreate them in Odoo Studio after migration using a one2many relation.
Planado
Planado Job Recurrence
Odoo CRM
Custom field on crm.lead
1:1Recurring job patterns in Planado (daily, weekly, custom intervals) have no Odoo CRM equivalent — Odoo Projects can model recurring tasks, but the CRM module itself does not support recurrence. Recurrence rules are preserved as a custom text field on crm.lead for reference.
Planado
Planado Job Location
Odoo CRM
res.partner address
1:1The site address associated with a Planado job maps to the client res.partner address fields. If the site is distinct from the client billing address, it is stored as a secondary contact address on the res.partner record with address_type set to 'other'.
Planado
Planado Job Cost/Revenue
Odoo CRM
crm.lead expected_revenue
1:1Planado job cost and revenue values map to crm.lead expected_revenue. Odoo CRM uses this field for pipeline value calculations and forecasting. Currency is stored in a custom field since Odoo's base currency is set at the company level, ensuring that monetary values reflect the correct currency for each lead's region.
Planado
Planado Job Tags/Labels
Odoo CRM
crm.tag
1:1Labels applied to Planado jobs map to crm.tag records, which can be linked to crm.lead via the tag_ids many2many relation. Tags enable Odoo CRM reporting by category even when the underlying FSM data is stored in custom fields, allowing sales and operations teams to filter leads, generate segmented views, and track performance by job type or service line.

Custom checklist step media attachments require separate file handling
Zapier integration scope creates automation dependency risk
Odoo CRM gotchas
Odoo.sh version gating blocks assisted migrations from trial
Enterprise modules fail to install on Community after database restore
Custom module view inheritance breaks between Odoo major versions
Custom fields risk losing their application context on Community

Migration approach
Stand up Odoo CRM schema and custom fields first
Before any Planado data moves, your Odoo admin (or our team) creates the crm.stage records, custom fields on crm.lead (GPS, checklist, recurrence, dependency fields), and res.users accounts for all Planado employees via Odoo Settings > Users. We deliver a schema setup checklist based on your Planado custom field inventory so the Odoo side is ready before the first record is ingested.
Export Planado data via REST API and CSV
FlitStack connects to Planado's REST API (api.planadoapp.com) using your API key and exports all jobs, clients, employees, tasks, and attachments in parallel. For large datasets, we supplement with Planado's CSV export. The export captures current status, GPS coordinates, checklist responses, schedule dates, and custom field values for every record — including soft-deleted records that may need reactivation. Additional metadata such as job priority, internal notes, and client category tags are also extracted to preserve full context during the migration.
Migrate clients (res.partner) before jobs (crm.lead)
Odoo CRM requires a partner_id on crm.lead before the lead can be saved. We sequence the migration so that Planado clients are loaded into res.partner first, creating the ID mappings needed for the subsequent job load. Employee records are created as res.users in the same phase so that task assignments can resolve to a user_id when jobs are ingested. This ordered approach also ensures referential integrity across attachments and custom fields, minimizing the risk of orphaned records during the data load.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 200–500 records spanning jobs, clients, employees, and a few attachments — migrates into a staging Odoo database first. We generate a field-level diff comparing the Planado source values against the Odoo CRM destination fields so you can verify status mapping, GPS preservation, checklist data placement, and owner resolution before the full run commits. The staging run also validates custom field creation, checks for data type mismatches, and confirms that any required value mappings for Odoo picklist fields are correctly configured.
Cut over with delta-pickup for in-flight records
The full Planado dataset loads into Odoo CRM via XML-RPC. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours after load completion) captures any records created or modified in Planado during the cutover. Audit log records every operation; one-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails. After the delta window closes, your team switches to Odoo CRM for all new job creation, and Planado enters a read-only archive state.
