Migrate your Planfix data
All-in-one business management platform covering projects, tasks, CRM, and finance for small to mid-sized teams. Highly customizable but steep learning curve.
In its favor
Why people choose Planfix
The signal that keeps Planfix on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
One platform replaces five separate tools — teams consolidate CRM, project management, HR, and finance into a single workspace without paying for integrations.
Unlimited tasks and projects on paid plans means growing teams never hit a record-count ceiling the way they do with entry-level CRMs.
Free tier with up to 5 users lets small teams and freelancers validate the platform before committing to a per-user paid plan.
Highly customizable workflows and custom fields allow the platform to adapt to vertical-specific processes without requiring developer resources.
Scripting and automation features let non-technical users build multi-step sequences triggered by task or contact events.
The interface is dense and unintuitive for new users; several reviewers cite a steep learning curve and frequent need for implementation partners.
Reports and dashboards are functional but primitive compared to dedicated BI tools, frustrating data-driven teams.
Mobile app capabilities are limited to core task and contact viewing; advanced features like script testing and custom report building require desktop.
Customer support responsiveness varies; smaller account holders report slower ticket resolution times.

What gets migrated
Planfix object support
Object-by-object support for Planfix migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Tasks
Fully supportedTasks are Planfix's core record type. They support custom statuses, assignees, checklists, comments, time logs, and file attachments. We migrate tasks 1:1 via the REST API, preserving custom field values, subtask hierarchies, and linked contacts.
Projects
Fully supportedProjects group tasks and carry their own custom fields, dates, and assignees. Planfix allows unlimited projects on paid tiers. We carry over project templates, task structures, and dependency links during migration.
Contacts
Fully supportedContacts are the CRM backbone in Planfix. Each contact has a profile card with contact info, linked tasks, files, and a history log. We export contact records including all custom properties and relationship links.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredPlanfix supports extensive custom fields including text, number, date, dropdown, checkbox, and File types. Because every workspace configures fields differently, we snapshot the field schema first and build a field-level mapping table before transforming records.
Workgroups
Mapping requiredWorkgroups are organizational units that group users and set shared permissions. Plan X allows up to 100 workgroups. We map workgroup memberships and roles, noting that these may need to be recreated in the destination if the target platform uses a different permission model.
Reports
Mapping requiredReports are built with Planfix's report builder and can be exported as CSV or XLSX. Saved report definitions are not directly portable; we export the underlying data and recommend rebuilding complex reports at the destination. Plan X includes 500 saved reports.
Processes and Scripts
Not in this platformPlanfix's Process and Script objects define automated multi-step workflows triggered by events. These are tightly coupled to Planfix's internal execution engine and cannot be reliably exported or replayed in other platforms. We document the script logic for manual recreation.
Time Logs
Fully supportedTime logged against tasks (via timers or manual entry) is exported as a structured field on the task record. We preserve the duration, date, and user attribution for each time entry.
Document Templates
Mapping requiredDocument templates use XLSX/XLSM files with template variables to generate output documents. The template files themselves can be exported; variable mappings are workspace-specific and may need field reference updates at the destination.
Whiteboard Diagrams
Not in this platformWhiteboards store block-based diagrams created in Planfix's Whiteboard feature. There is no documented export format for whiteboard content, so these records are flagged as non-migratable.
Planner Views
Mapping requiredPlanners are calendar-based views of tasks. Saved planner configurations (filters, groupings, date ranges) are user-specific. We export the underlying task data but cannot preserve personal planner layouts.
