How long does a Powered Now to HubSpot migration take?

Most Powered Now to HubSpot migrations complete in 48–72 hours of clock time for setups under 10,000 records. Larger migrations with 50,000+ records, multiple job pipelines, or extensive custom properties extend to 5–10 days. The longest phase is usually planning and mapping — actual data movement is faster than the setup work that precedes it.

Will my Powered Now workflows and automations migrate to HubSpot?

No. FlitStack AI migrates data and schema only — automated certificate reminders, job routing rules, and any Power Automate-style workflows built inside Powered Now do not transfer. They must be rebuilt in HubSpot's automation tools (Operations Hub workflows, Sales Hub sequences, or Marketing Hub journeys). We export your workflow definitions as a reference document to help your HubSpot admin rebuild them.

What happens to my Powered Now invoices and Making Tax Digital data?

Invoice line items, totals, payment status, and VAT information migrate as custom properties on HubSpot Deals. VAT numbers store on Company records. However, HubSpot has no native MTD integration — invoice PDFs and MTD-compliant filing require an accounting tool like Xero, FreeAgent, or QuickBooks connected via integration. Many trade businesses run HubSpot for CRM and retain Powered Now for invoicing during transition.

Can I migrate Powered Now custom forms and certificates to HubSpot?

Form submission history migrates as Deal notes and file attachments. Certificate data (type, expiry date, status) migrates to a Certificate custom object related to Deals. Certificate PDFs attach as HubSpot Files. However, the certificate template layouts and renewal reminder workflows built in Powered Now must be recreated in HubSpot Operations Hub after migration.

Does the migration affect my Powered Now account during cutover?

No. FlitStack AI uses scoped read access on Powered Now — your team continues working in Powered Now throughout the migration window. A delta-pickup period of 24–48 hours after the main load captures any jobs, invoices, or contacts modified during the cutover so HubSpot reflects the final state of your Powered Now data at go-live.

What happens to my Powered Now users and engineer accounts?

Powered Now users resolve by email to HubSpot Users. Any user without a matching HubSpot seat is flagged before migration so your admin can create accounts. Role data (Engineer, Admin, Manager) migrates as a custom Owner_Role__c picklist on the User record for reporting. HubSpot seat counts and permission sets must be configured post-migration based on your HubSpot plan tier.

Can I keep Powered Now running alongside HubSpot after migration?

Yes. Many trade businesses migrate their CRM data to HubSpot for sales and marketing while retaining Powered Now for job scheduling, field dispatch, and invoicing. We configure your HubSpot portal to receive ongoing data from Powered Now via API sync if needed, or you run the two systems in parallel during a transition period until the team is fully trained on HubSpot's workflow model.

Powered Now to HubSpot Migration — Field-Level Mapping & Rollback

Overview

What this migration involves

Powered Now is job management software built for UK plumbers, electricians, and gas engineers — it handles quoting, invoicing, scheduling, and Making Tax Digital compliance in one app. HubSpot is a full CRM platform that covers contact management, deal pipelines, marketing automation, and service tickets across multiple hubs. The migration maps Powered Now clients and contacts to HubSpot Companies and Contacts, jobs to Deals (with pipeline stages preserving work-order status), quotes to Deal line items, and certificates to custom properties or attachments. User and team member records resolve by email to HubSpot Owners. We carry over all standard objects, custom properties, activity history (calls, emails, notes), and attachments via API. Workflows, automations, Making Tax Digital configurations, and third-party integrations do not migrate — those require manual rebuild inside HubSpot. The migration uses scoped read access on Powered Now during cutover with a 24–48 hour delta pickup window so no in-flight jobs are lost. Test migration with field-level diff runs before full commit.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Powered Now

What's pushing teams away

Lack of a public API blocks integration with third-party tools and makes data portability difficult, forcing businesses to manually export records when switching platforms.
Pricing is per-user and can become expensive as a team grows, pushing smaller operators toward lower-cost alternatives with flat-rate pricing.
Advanced features such as Xero integration, time tracking, and custom reporting are gated behind higher tiers, creating upgrade pressure on businesses that only need one or two premium features.
The platform is UK-only in its compliance features, making it unsuitable for trade businesses operating in Ireland, the Isle of Man, or other UK-aligned jurisdictions with different MTD rules.

Choosing

HubSpot

What's pulling them in

Lowest barrier to entry of any major CRM — the free tier with unlimited contacts lets teams validate fit before committing to a paid plan, according to G2 and Capterra reviewers.
Native integration between the CRM and sales engagement tools (sequences, email tracking, dialer) means no separate sync configuration, a theme across G2 Sales Hub reviews.
Pipeline visualization, deal tracking, and automated workflows are consistently praised as intuitive and easy to set up without developer involvement.
Strong onboarding for new team members — reviewers on Capterra and G2 highlight how quickly new reps become productive without formal training.
The HubSpot platform ecosystem (Marketing, Sales, Service, CMS hubs) allows growing companies to consolidate tools without building new integrations.

Object mapping

How Powered Now objects map to HubSpot

Each row shows how a Powered Now object lands in HubSpot, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

Powered Now

Client

maps to

HubSpot

Company

1:1

Fully supported

Powered Now Clients map directly to HubSpot Companies. Client address, postcode lookup, and custom address fields migrate as Company properties. Parent-child client hierarchies map to HubSpot's parent company relationship if present in Powered Now.

Powered Now

Contact

maps to

HubSpot

Contact

1:1

Fully supported

Powered Now Contact records map 1:1 to HubSpot Contacts. Primary client link resolves to Company association. Multiple contacts per client maintain individual email, phone, and role fields inside HubSpot's contact model.

Powered Now

Job

maps to

HubSpot

Deal

1:1

Fully supported

Powered Now Jobs map to HubSpot Deals with pipeline stages reflecting job status (Quoted, Scheduled, In Progress, Completed, Invoiced). Job details, notes, and attachments migrate as Deal properties and Files attached to the Deal record.

Powered Now

Quote

maps to

HubSpot

Deal + Line Item

1:1

Fully supported

Powered Now Quotes become HubSpot Deals with line items representing individual quote lines. Quote totals and tax calculations map to Deal Amount and Line Item price fields. Custom quote templates are not migratable — we preserve quote data and you rebuild templates in HubSpot.

Powered Now

Invoice

maps to

HubSpot

Deal + Line Item + Custom Property

1:1

Fully supported

Invoices migrate as Deal records with invoice status tracked in a custom property (Paid, Outstanding, Overdue). Invoice line items become HubSpot Line Items. Paid status and payment date preserved as custom fields. HubSpot has no native invoice generation — QuickBooks or a third-party connector handles invoicing post-migration.

Powered Now

Diary / Schedule Entry

maps to

HubSpot

Task + Event

1:1

Fully supported

Powered Now diary entries with assigned engineers and time slots map to HubSpot Tasks (checklist items per job) and Events (calendar appointments). Original timestamps and assigned user preserved. HubSpot's calendar sync requires manual setup per user after migration.

Powered Now

Certificate

maps to

HubSpot

Custom Object + Attachment

1:1

Fully supported

Trade certificates (gas safety, electrical testing) migrate as a custom Certificate object related to Deals, with the PDF attached via HubSpot Files. Certificate type, expiry date, and status become custom properties on the Certificate object. A rebuild of certificate issuance workflows in HubSpot Operations Hub is required.

Powered Now

Purchase Order

maps to

HubSpot

Custom Property on Deal

1:1

Fully supported

Powered Now purchase orders attached to jobs map as custom properties on the corresponding HubSpot Deal (PO number, supplier, order total). Supplier invoice data migrates as text or JSON in a custom long-text field for reference — HubSpot does not have a native PO module.

Powered Now

Custom Forms

maps to

HubSpot

Custom Properties + Attachment

1:1

Fully supported

Powered Now custom form submissions and checklist data migrate as custom properties on the Deal or as attached files. Form schema (field names, types) is documented in the migration plan so you can recreate forms in HubSpot's native form builder or Operations Hub.

Powered Now

User / Team Member

maps to

HubSpot

User (Owner)

1:1

Fully supported

Powered Now users resolve by email match to HubSpot Users. Role (Engineer, Admin, Manager) maps to a custom Owner_Role__c picklist on the User record for reporting. Unmatched users are flagged before migration so you can create HubSpot seats first.

Powered Now

Client Property (custom fields)

maps to

HubSpot

Company Custom Properties

1:1

Fully supported

Powered Now custom client fields (trade type, insurance expiry, VAT number) migrate as HubSpot Company custom properties with matching field types. Pick-list values require value-by-value mapping; text and number fields migrate directly.

Powered Now

What3Words Address

maps to

HubSpot

Custom Property on Company

1:1

Fully supported

Powered Now's What3Words integration provides precise location codes for jobsite access. This value migrates as a custom text property (w3w_location__c) on the HubSpot Company record. No native What3Words field in HubSpot — the custom property keeps the data accessible to your team.

		Medium	Custom objects require Enterprise and a pre-existing schema

Pair-specific challenges

Making Tax Digital compliance has no native HubSpot equivalent

Powered Now's Making Tax Digital (MTD) integration handles UK VAT submissions directly inside the app. HubSpot has no MTD capability — it is a CRM, not accounting software. We preserve VAT numbers and invoice status on Deal records, but VAT submission, MTD-compatible record keeping, and quarterly filing must run through a dedicated accounting tool (Xero, QuickBooks, or FreeAgent) post-migration. Do not expect HubSpot to replace your MTD workflow.
Powered Now job scheduling does not map to HubSpot's calendar model

Powered Now's diary and scheduling engine assigns engineers to jobs with time slots, travel buffers, and recurring visits. HubSpot has no native field service scheduling — meetings and tasks represent calendar entries but there is no dispatch board, route optimization, or travel-time calculation. FlitStack migrates diary entries as Events and Tasks, but a field service add-on (HubSpot's native scheduling tools or a third-party like Jobber, GeoMöbius, or mHelpDesk) is required for ongoing job scheduling.
What3Words locations require a custom property in HubSpot

Powered Now integrates What3Words for precise jobsite addressing — critical for gas engineers and electricians working at unnamed locations (back gardens, building sites). HubSpot has no native What3Words field. We migrate the w3w code as a custom text property on the Company record, but your team must add the field manually in HubSpot's property settings and train staff to reference it inside job Deals.
Custom forms and digital certificates must be rebuilt inside HubSpot

Powered Now custom forms (safety checklists, site surveys, regulatory certificates) store submission data as structured records with attachments. HubSpot's native forms capture submissions as Contact or Deal properties but do not replicate Powered Now's certificate issuance logic. We migrate form submission history as Deal notes and attachments. Certificate templates and renewal reminder workflows need rebuilding in HubSpot Operations Hub after migration.
Invoice PDF templates are not migratable

Powered Now's invoice templates with your branding, payment terms, and Making Tax Digital footer are configured inside the app and stored as template objects. HubSpot has no native invoice template system on Free or Starter tiers; quote tools on Professional+ use a separate module. We carry over invoice line-item data and payment status as Deal properties and attachments. Your invoice branding and MTD-compliant footer require rebuild in HubSpot or continued use of Powered Now alongside HubSpot for invoicing.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Powered Now to HubSpot data migration

Audit Powered Now data and map to HubSpot schema

FlitStack AI reads your Powered Now data via API export and inventories all clients, contacts, jobs, quotes, invoices, certificates, and custom fields. We build a field-level mapping document that identifies direct matches, custom property requirements, value-mapping needed for status pick-lists, and any data that cannot map to HubSpot's native objects. You review and approve the mapping before extraction begins.
Set up HubSpot custom properties and pipelines

Before data lands, we provide a setup checklist for your HubSpot portal: create the custom properties for VAT numbers, What3Words locations, certificate data, invoice status, and owner roles; configure Deal pipelines matching Powered Now job statuses (Quoted, Scheduled, In Progress, Completed, Invoiced); and create the Certificate custom object if you have regulatory certificate data to preserve. This runs in parallel with data extraction.
Resolve owners and create HubSpot user seats

Powered Now users and engineers are matched by email to HubSpot Users (Owners). We run a pre-flight check: any Powered Now user without a HubSpot seat is flagged so your admin can create the account before migration. Unmatched owners default to a fallback HubSpot user or queue for manual assignment post-migration. No Deal or Contact lands without a resolved OwnerId.
Run test migration on a sample slice

A representative sample (typically 100–500 records spanning clients, contacts, jobs, and activities) migrates first. We generate a field-level diff report showing every mapped field, its source value, and its destination value. You verify job status mapping, certificate data placement, owner resolution, and attachment linking before the full run commits. Adjustments to the mapping plan happen here.
Full migration with delta-pickup cutover window

The full dataset loads into HubSpot using sequenced writes (Companies first, then Contacts, then Deals with line items, then Engagements and Files). A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window runs after the main load, capturing any Powered Now records modified during cutover. An audit log records every insert and update. One-click rollback reverts the HubSpot portal to its pre-migration state if reconciliation identifies critical mismatches.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

Powered Now

Source

Strengths

UK MTD compliance is native to the platform, eliminating the need for separate accounting software for straightforward sole-trader and small-business tax filing.
On-site invoicing with mobile card reader integration accelerates payment collection and improves cash flow for field-service businesses.
Unlimited contacts and quotes are included even on lower tiers, making cost predictable as the client base grows.
Digital forms and certificates are attached directly to jobs, keeping compliance documentation organised and retrievable without paper filing.
Cross-platform availability on iOS, Android, PC, and Mac ensures field engineers can use the app on whatever hardware they already carry.

Weaknesses

No published public REST API means third-party integrations must go through unofficial channels or Zapier/Make workflows, limiting automation options.
Data export appears to rely on CSV or in-app backup rather than a structured programmatic export, making bulk migration a manual process.
Pricing is per-seat, which becomes costly for larger field-service teams compared to flat-rate alternatives.
Advanced workflow automation (job routing, time tracking, Xero integration) requires higher-cost tiers, raising the effective price for growing businesses.
The platform is UK-primary; businesses with operations outside the UK or with non-UK accounting requirements may find compliance features incomplete.

Destination

Strengths

Genuinely useful free CRM tier with no seat limit on contact records.
All-in-one sales engagement layer (sequences, email tracking, calling, dialer) embedded natively in the CRM, eliminating a separate integration.
Intuitive interface and fast onboarding for individual reps, per G2 and Capterra reviews.
Workflow automation triggers across contacts, deals, and tickets with a visual builder.
API coverage for all standard objects including custom objects at Enterprise tier.

Weaknesses

Pricing model is contact-based at the marketing layer — importing all records as marketing contacts can multiply the monthly bill by 4×.
Feature tier cliffs are frequent surprises: sequences, calling, advanced reporting, and quoting are all gated, often requiring plan upgrades mid-implementation.
Mandatory onboarding fees at Professional ($1,500) and Enterprise ($3,500) are not prominently disclosed on the pricing page.
API rate limits are restrictive for bulk migration — burst limits of 100-200 req/10sec and search endpoint limits of 4 req/sec require careful job queuing.
Custom objects, additional pipelines, and advanced forecasting are Enterprise-only, making cost projections difficult for growing teams.
