Overview
Powered Now and Pipedrive solve different problems. Powered Now is job management software built for UK trade businesses — plumbers, electricians, gas engineers — combining client records, job scheduling, quoting, invoicing, and Making Tax Digital compliance in one app. Pipedrive is a sales CRM that organises work around People, Organisations, Deals, and Activities, with a visual pipeline and per-seat pricing starting at $14/user/month. The two platforms share contact and company concepts, but Pipedrive has no native job-scheduling, certificate-tracking, or quote-to-invoice workflow. FlitStack AI migrates what can be migrated: clients and contacts to Pipedrive People, companies to Organisations, and jobs/quotes to Pipedrive Deals with stage names that reflect the Powered Now status lifecycle. Custom fields like engineer assignments, site addresses, PO references, and form attachments migrate as Pipedrive custom fields. Certificates, MTD records, purchase orders, and supplier invoices that do not fit Pipedrive's schema are exported as structured data files for manual reference. Automations, workflows, scheduled diary entries, and MTD tax logic have no Pipedrive equivalent and must be rebuilt using Pipedrive's automation tools or an external workflow service. The migration uses API-based extraction from Powered Now, field transformation against Pipedrive's custom field API (where field keys are 40-character hashes), and staged import validation before the full run commits.
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 Powered Now object lands in Pipedrive, 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
Pipedrive
Person
1:1Powered Now clients map directly to Pipedrive People. Client name maps to Person name; primary contact details (email, phone) map to corresponding Pipedrive fields. If a client has multiple contacts, each contact migrates as a separate Person record, both linked to the same Organisation if a company record exists.
Powered Now
Contact
Pipedrive
Person
1:1Individual contacts within a Powered Now client record migrate as separate Pipedrive People. Each person receives an email, phone, and address from the source contact record. If the same person appears across multiple clients, FlitStack AI flags duplicates before migration and applies a merge or link rule per your specification.
Powered Now
Company
Pipedrive
Organisation
1:1Powered Now companies map to Pipedrive Organisations. Company name, domain, industry, and employee count translate to Organisation name, address fields, and custom fields. If Powered Now stores a company without a separate Client record, the Organisation is created independently and linked to relevant People.
Powered Now
Job
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1Powered Now Jobs are the primary mapping challenge. Each Job migrates as a Pipedrive Deal, with the Job name becoming the Deal name, the job status (Quoted, In Progress, Complete, Invoiced) mapped to Pipedrive pipeline stages, and the assigned engineer or team stored in a custom Person field on the Deal. Job notes and line items are preserved in the Deal's description and custom item fields respectively.
Powered Now
Quote
Pipedrive
Deal (pre-stage)
many:1In Powered Now, Quotes are standalone objects linked to Jobs. During migration, Quote data merges into the Deal record as line items (products and pricing) and a total value field. The quote validity date migrates as a custom datetime field on the Deal for reference. If the Quote is not yet accepted, the Deal lands in an early pipeline stage (e.g., 'Quote Sent').
Powered Now
Invoice
Pipedrive
Deal + Export file
1:manyInvoices carry MTD-relevant data (VAT registration, invoice number, tax amounts) that has no Pipedrive equivalent. FlitStack AI migrates the commercial summary — client, amount, date, status — as Deal fields and a custom Invoice_Number__c field. The full invoice record with line-item tax breakdown is exported as a structured CSV for import into Xero or your accounting tool.
Powered Now
Diary Entry / Schedule
Pipedrive
Activity
1:1Powered Now diary entries (scheduled jobs, engineer appointments) map to Pipedrive Activities. Each entry becomes a Task or Event with the job context stored in the activity's subject and a link back to the migrated Deal. Pipedrive Activities do not support engineer scheduling across multiple resources natively — complex diary data is also exported as a reference file.
Powered Now
Certificate
Pipedrive
Custom Object / Attachment
1:1Certificates (gas safety, electrical compliance, etc.) are a Powered Now-specific object with no Pipedrive equivalent. Migration options are: (a) store certificate metadata (type, expiry date, engineer) as custom fields on the associated Deal, (b) attach the certificate PDF as a Pipedrive File linked to the Deal, or (c) export certificates to a separate structured file for compliance record-keeping.
Powered Now
Purchase Order
Pipedrive
Deal custom field + Export file
1:1Purchase Orders reference supplier costs against a job. PO number, supplier name, and total amount migrate as custom fields on the Deal. Full PO line-item detail is exported separately, as Pipedrive has no PO object. FlitStack AI can optionally link PO data to a separate Products catalogue if your Pipedrive plan includes it.
Powered Now
Supplier Invoice
Pipedrive
Export file
1:1Supplier invoices are expense records with no Pipedrive equivalent. FlitStack AI exports these as a structured CSV alongside the migration, tagged with the corresponding Deal reference so the data can be imported into Xero, QuickBooks, or your accounting tool post-migration.
Powered Now
Custom Properties (Client, Job)
Pipedrive
Custom Fields (Person, Organisation, Deal)
1:1Powered Now custom properties on clients and jobs — engineer assignment, site type, certification required, custom pricing tiers — are created as Pipedrive custom fields on the corresponding object (Person, Organisation, or Deal) before migration. Pipedrive's API assigns a 40-character hash key to each custom field, which FlitStack AI resolves during the import mapping phase.
Powered Now
User / Owner
Pipedrive
User
1:1Powered Now users (engineers, office staff) are resolved by email match against Pipedrive Users. Unmatched users are flagged before migration. Inactive Powered Now users are imported as inactive Pipedrive users with a note; you decide whether to activate them post-migration.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Powered Now gotchas
No public REST API means migration requires reverse-engineered data access
Certificate expiry dates require manual re-validation post-migration
Making Tax Digital data is tied to the Powered Now MTD-compliant invoice format
Attachment blobs export as raw files without a relational manifest
Pipedrive gotchas
Custom field hash keys differ per account
Export access gated by visibility groups
Token-based API rate limits since December 2024
Sequences and Automations not exposed via REST API
Cost escalates via workflow caps and add-ons
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Profile Powered Now data and pre-create Pipedrive schema
FlitStack AI connects to Powered Now via API to inventory all clients, contacts, jobs, quotes, invoices, diary entries, and custom properties. We identify duplicate clients, orphaned contacts, and records with missing required fields. In parallel, we create Pipedrive custom fields (using the hash-key API) for engineer assignments, PO numbers, site addresses, certificate metadata, VAT fields, and any other Powered Now custom properties that do not have native Pipedrive equivalents. Pipedrive pipelines and stages are configured to match Powered Now's job status lifecycle before any data lands.
Export and clean source records
We export all Powered Now objects via the platform's API, applying data quality rules: deduplicating contacts by email address, resolving company-to-client parent relationships, collapsing inactive records, and standardising date formats to ISO 8601. Job line items and quote pricing are normalised into a structure that maps cleanly to Pipedrive Deal values. Certificate records, supplier invoices, and MTD VAT data are segregated into separate export files for parallel processing.
Resolve owners and map contacts to Pipedrive People and Organisations
Powered Now users are matched by email to existing Pipedrive Users. Unmatched users are flagged for your team to invite before migration. Clients and contacts are mapped: companies become Pipedrive Organisations; individual contacts become Pipedrive People linked to the Organisation. If a Powered Now client record holds multiple contacts, each migrates as a separate Person with a shared Organisation link. Engineer assignments on jobs are stored in a custom Person field (Engineer__c) on the Deal for team visibility.
Run a sample migration with field-level validation
A representative slice — typically 100–300 records spanning clients, contacts, jobs, quotes, and invoices — migrates first. FlitStack AI generates a field-level diff report comparing source values against the Pipedrive destination values for every mapped field, including custom fields. You verify stage mapping (Powered Now job status to Pipedrive pipeline stage), value translation, and owner resolution. Adjustments to pipeline configuration, value mapping, and custom field creation are applied before the full run commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full dataset loads into Pipedrive. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours after initial load) captures any records created or modified in Powered Now during the cutover window. All operations are logged in an audit trail. Pipedrive Automation rules are validated post-load to confirm triggers fire correctly on migrated Deal stages. A final reconciliation report confirms record counts, field population rates, and any records that require manual review. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation identifies data integrity issues.
