Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Pro-Sales CRM to Odoo CRM is a structural migration that requires careful attention to two asymmetries between the platforms. First, Pro-Sales CRM lacks a documented public REST API, so data extraction relies on CSV exports that vary in completeness across accounts. We normalise those exports before writing to Odoo's XML-RPC API, handling field-type mismatches and date formatting along the way. Second, Odoo is a modular ERP; the CRM module is one app among dozens, and its Opportunity model uses a different stage probability schema than Pro-Sales CRM's per-stage weights. We extract the active stage configuration from Pro-Sales CRM, map it to Odoo's pipeline stages with probability percentages, and configure the destination pipeline in Odoo before migration begins. Tags, custom properties, owner assignments, and lifecycle stage metadata migrate as custom fields and tags. We do not migrate attachment files, workflow rules, or automations; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in Odoo Studio or via the Odoo Apps store.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Pro-Sales CRM logo

Pro-Sales CRM

What's pushing teams away

  • Per-seat economics get expensive — $199/month for 1 user and $99/month for each additional user adds up vs. lower-cost SMB CRMs like HubSpot Free, Zoho, or Pipedrive.
  • Limited public review footprint and small market share compared to mainstream SMB CRMs makes peer-reference due diligence harder.
  • User reviews report mixed experience with data integration and manual data entry, prompting teams with custom tech stacks to migrate to more integrated platforms.
  • Optional setup, training, and data migration fees ($198-$498) inflate the year-one TCO beyond the headline subscription rate.
  • No public API documentation limits custom integrations and automation workflows for technically-savvy teams.

Choosing

Odoo CRM logo

Odoo CRM

What's pulling them in

  • Teams choose Odoo CRM for its modular architecture — one base install with one-click app additions means they can adopt CRM alone and add accounting, inventory, or sales later as the business grows.
  • Small businesses pick Odoo because the Community edition is free and open-source, with no per-user or contact limits, allowing full evaluation before committing to a paid Enterprise tier.
  • The drag-and-drop Kanban pipeline and AI lead scoring are highlighted across G2 reviews as concrete features that make lead management faster and more visual than spreadsheet-based workflows.
  • Odoo's native integration with email, live chat, SMS, VoIP, and WhatsApp means inbound leads from multiple channels feed into a single pipeline without third-party middleware.
  • Companies in retail, supply chain, and construction value that Odoo's CRM module shares the same PostgreSQL database and UI as its ERP modules, eliminating data silos between sales and operations.

Object mapping

How Pro-Sales CRM objects map to Odoo CRM

Each row shows how a Pro-Sales CRM 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.

Pro-Sales CRM

Contact

maps to

Odoo CRM

Lead or Contact (split by lifecycle stage)

1:many
Fully supported

Pro-Sales CRM stores all people records as Contact with a lifecycle stage property (Lead, Qualified, Customer, etc.). Odoo splits these into Lead (unqualified) and Contact (qualified, attached to Company). We evaluate the lifecycle stage on each Contact during migration: early-stage contacts map to Odoo Lead; contacts attached to a company with a closed-won or active deal map to Odoo Contact under the corresponding Company (resPartner). The original lifecycle stage and Pro-Sales CRM contact ID are preserved in custom fields on both the Lead and Contact for reconciliation.

Pro-Sales CRM

Company

maps to

Odoo CRM

Company (res.partner with company_type = company)

1:1
Fully supported

Pro-Sales CRM Company records map directly to Odoo res.partner records with company_type = company. The company name becomes the partner display name, street/city/ country map to address fields, and industry/size map to custom Char fields in Odoo. The Company record is migrated before any child Contacts so the Contact-to-Company partner_id lookup is satisfied at insert time.

Pro-Sales CRM

Deal

maps to

Odoo CRM

Opportunity (crm.lead with type = opportunity)

1:1
Fully supported

Pro-Sales CRM Deals map to Odoo crm.lead records with type = opportunity. The deal name becomes the opportunity name, deal value maps to Odoo's planned_revenue field, and close date maps to date_deadline. We extract the Pro-Sales CRM stage probability percentage and write it to a custom probability field; Odoo's built-in stage_probability is set via the pipeline stage configuration before migration.

Pro-Sales CRM

Pipeline Stage

maps to

Odoo CRM

Pipeline Stage (crm.stage)

lossy
Fully supported

Pro-Sales CRM allows custom stage names and per-stage probability weights per pipeline. We extract the active stage configuration from the source account during discovery and create Odoo pipeline stages with matching names and probability percentages before any Opportunity records are imported. If Pro-Sales CRM has multiple pipelines, we create separate Odoo CRM pipelines (sales teams in Odoo) to isolate them.

Pro-Sales CRM

Custom Properties

maps to

Odoo CRM

Custom Fields (ir.model.fields)

lossy
Mapping required

Pro-Sales CRM custom fields on Contacts and Deals migrate to Odoo custom fields created via Odoo Studio or the fields API before migration. Field types are mapped: text to char, number fields to float or integer, dropdown-style fields to selection fields, and date fields to date. Lookup relationships to other objects in Pro-Sales CRM become Many2one fields in Odoo with a corresponding res.partner or crm.lead record created first.

Pro-Sales CRM

Activities / Call Logs

maps to

Odoo CRM

Task (project.task) or Mail Message

1:1
Fully supported

Pro-Sales CRM activity records (call logs, notes, completed tasks) map to Odoo project.task records for task-type activities or to mail.message records for notes and log entries within the crm.lead discuss thread. We preserve the original timestamp, owner assignment, and activity type by writing to the appropriate Odoo model. Call duration and disposition from Pro-Sales CRM become custom fields on the Odoo task or message record.

Pro-Sales CRM

Tag / Label

maps to

Odoo CRM

Tag (crm.tag)

1:1
Fully supported

Pro-Sales CRM tag assignments on Contact and Deal records map to Odoo crm.tag records with many2many relink via crm.lead.res_partner_all_tags_rel. We deduplicate tag strings during extraction and create the Odoo tag records before linking them to opportunities and leads. Tags used for lead scoring or routing in Pro-Sales CRM are preserved as tag names with the score value migrated to a custom field on the Odoo record.

Pro-Sales CRM

Owner / User

maps to

Odoo CRM

User (res.users)

1:1
Fully supported

Pro-Sales CRM assigns a single owner per Contact, Company, and Deal. We extract owner email addresses and match them against the destination Odoo User table. Owners without a matching Odoo User are placed in a reconciliation queue; the customer provisions missing Users before the migration phase begins. Unmapped owner references are reassigned to a designated fallback user nominated during scoping.

Pro-Sales CRM

User (active record)

maps to

Odoo CRM

User (res.users)

1:1
Fully supported

Active Pro-Sales CRM user records are migrated as Contacts in Odoo only if the customer does not require them as Odoo system Users. If Odoo system access is required for the migrated users, we provision the res.users records and map their Pro-Sales CRM login email as the Odoo login. Role and permission differences between CRMs mean we apply a closest-fit group assignment rather than a 1:1 permission copy.

Pro-Sales CRM

Attachment

maps to

Odoo CRM

Not migrated

1:1
Fully supported

Pro-Sales CRM's attachment export path is not documented in the available API references, and we have not confirmed a reliable extraction method for binary file data. We do not migrate attachments as part of standard scope. We flag this to customers during scoping and recommend they export attachments manually via Pro-Sales CRM's UI export function or that the customer requests a data export bundle from Pro-Sales CRM support before migration begins. If a confirmed export path becomes available during discovery, we reassess and migrate attachments as IrAttachment records in Odoo where feasible.

Pro-Sales CRM

Lifecycle Stage

maps to

Odoo CRM

Custom Char or Selection Field

lossy
Fully supported

Pro-Sales CRM lifecycle stage values (Lead, Marketing Qualified, Sales Qualified, Customer, etc.) are preserved as a custom field on Odoo crm.lead (for Lead records) and res.partner (for Contact records). We create a selection field with the exact stage values from the source account, defaulting to the stage value currently assigned on each record. This field serves as an audit trail and is used for reporting continuity in Odoo.

Pro-Sales CRM

Workflow / Automation

maps to

Odoo CRM

Not migrated

1:1
Fully supported

Pro-Sales CRM workflow rules, automated assignments, and stage-triggered actions do not have a migratable representation. Odoo Studio offers automation rules and server actions as the equivalent capability, but we do not rebuild them during migration. We deliver a written inventory of every active Pro-Sales CRM automation with its trigger conditions, actions, and recommended Odoo Studio equivalent, and the customer's admin rebuilds them post-migration.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Pro-Sales CRM has no documented public REST API

    Pro-Sales CRM does not expose a documented REST API for direct data extraction. All data export relies on CSV export functionality within the Pro-Sales CRM application, and the completeness of that export varies by account configuration. We assess the export completeness during discovery and flag any gaps (missing custom fields, incomplete activity history, truncated notes) before migration begins. If the CSV export is incomplete, we recommend the customer requests a full data export bundle directly from Pro-Sales CRM support as a pre-migration step. Data quality issues discovered in the CSV are addressed in the transform phase before Odoo import.

  • Odoo stage probability schema differs from Pro-Sales CRM defaults

    Pro-Sales CRM allows per-stage probability weights that are independent of stage order, while Odoo CRM stages carry probability values that are set at the pipeline level and apply to all stages with that sequence position. We extract the full Pro-Sales CRM stage configuration during discovery, map each stage to the nearest Odoo equivalent by name or sequence, and configure Odoo pipeline stages with the correct probability percentages before migrating any Opportunities. Migrations that skip this step import opportunities with incorrect probability values, distorting Odoo's sales forecasting from day one.

  • Lead-to-Contact split requires manual design decision

    Odoo separates Leads (unqualified prospects) from Contacts (qualified people attached to a Company). Pro-Sales CRM has a single Contact model with a lifecycle stage property that does not natively distinguish between these states. We apply a lifecycle-stage-based split rule during migration, but the customer must confirm the split boundary during scoping (e.g., which lifecycle stage maps to Lead vs Contact). If the customer wants all Pro-Sales CRM Contacts as Odoo Leads (no Contact conversion on day one), we adjust the mapping. If they want all as Contacts, we skip the Lead model entirely. Skipping this decision produces orphaned records or incorrect CRM process assignment.

  • Attachment files cannot be extracted without a confirmed export path

    Pro-Sales CRM's attachment storage and export mechanism is not documented in the available API references. We do not migrate file attachments as part of standard scope. During scoping, we ask the customer whether they have a confirmed export path from Pro-Sales CRM (UI-based export, support-requested bundle, or database access). If yes, we migrate attachments as IrAttachment records in Odoo linked to the parent record. If no, we document the gap in the migration inventory and recommend a manual post-migration attachment process.

  • Odoo CRM requires a Lead Convert step to create Contacts on Accounts

    Odoo's CRM workflow expects Leads to be explicitly converted to Contacts on an Account (Company) using the Convert action. Records migrated as Leads in Odoo will not automatically appear in the Contacts list or on the Company record until an admin runs Convert. We include a Convert handoff checklist in the migration delivery document, and we document which migrated Leads have a matching Company record so the admin can batch-convert them efficiently. This is not a data loss risk; it is a workflow step that must be executed in Odoo post-migration.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Pro-Sales CRM to Odoo CRM data migration

  1. Discovery and Pro-Sales CRM export assessment

    We audit the Pro-Sales CRM account to understand its configuration: Contact fields (standard and custom), Company fields, Deal fields and pipeline stages, activity types, tag taxonomy, owner list, and any lifecycle stage configuration. We then assess the CSV export completeness by running a trial export and comparing field coverage against our audit. If gaps exist, we request a full data export bundle from Pro-Sales CRM support. We deliver a written discovery report that lists every field, its Odoo equivalent, and any gaps in the export that require manual handling before migration proceeds.

  2. Odoo schema design and pipeline configuration

    We design the destination Odoo CRM schema before any data is written. This includes creating custom fields via Odoo Studio to receive Pro-Sales CRM custom properties, configuring pipeline stages with the correct probability percentages extracted from Pro-Sales CRM, setting up tags in crm.tag, and deciding on the Lead versus Contact split rule confirmed with the customer. The Odoo configuration is applied to a staging environment first for validation, and the customer signs off before production migration begins.

  3. Data extraction and transform

    We extract all records from Pro-Sales CRM via CSV export and normalise the data for Odoo's XML-RPC API. This includes date format standardisation (Pro-Sales CRM timestamps to ISO 8601), owner email resolution to Odoo User IDs, lifecycle stage mapping to the split rule, and custom field type conversion. Tags are deduplicated and written to crm.tag first so that many2many relationships can be established during the import phase. We produce a transform manifest listing every field, its source value, and the destination mapping applied.

  4. Staging migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into an Odoo staging environment using the same dependency order planned for production: Companies (res.partner), Contacts/Leads (with split applied), Opportunities (with pipeline and stage resolved), Activities and tasks, and tags. The customer reconciles record counts, spot-checks 20-30 records against the Pro-Sales CRM source, and confirms the pipeline stage mapping and custom field values. Any mapping corrections are made in the transform scripts and validated in staging before production migration begins.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Companies first (as parent records), then Leads and Contacts with the lifecycle-stage split applied and Company lookup resolved, then Opportunities with pipeline, stage, probability, and Owner resolved, then activity history and tasks, then tags. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. The Pro-Sales CRM account is placed in read-only mode during cutover to prevent new records from being created during the final delta migration.

  6. Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff

    We freeze Pro-Sales CRM writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Odoo as the system of record. We deliver the Pro-Sales CRM automation inventory document to the customer's admin team for Odoo Studio rebuild. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild automations or workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.

Destination

Strengths

  • Modular open-source architecture lets teams start with CRM and add ERP apps as needs grow, all sharing one PostgreSQL database.
  • Free Community edition with no contact limits and full source code access means zero licensing cost for evaluation and small deployments.
  • Drag-and-drop Kanban pipeline with AI lead scoring gives a visual, prioritized view of the sales funnel without requiring custom configuration.
  • Native integrations with email, live chat, SMS, VoIP, WhatsApp, and social media feed all inbound leads into a single unified inbox.
  • Active Odoo Community Association (OCA) maintains dozens of community-maintained modules on GitHub for extended functionality.

Weaknesses

  • Gmail and email integration reliability is a recurring complaint — threads drop and conversations scatter across inboxes, disrupting sales team workflows.
  • Enterprise edition pricing stacks quickly: multiple apps at per-user rates ($25–$50/user/month) plus Odoo.sh hosting costs more than many SMBs anticipate.
  • Setup and configuration complexity increases significantly once custom fields, automation rules, and multiple installed modules are in play.
  • Odoo.sh trial databases run on a version (e.g., 18.3) that is not directly migratable to Odoo.sh, blocking the assisted migration path Odoo advertises.
  • Version upgrades between major Odoo releases (e.g., 17→18) frequently break custom module view definitions and XPath expressions, requiring manual remediation.

Most migrations land between three and five weeks for accounts under 15,000 Contacts and 3,000 Deals with no complex custom objects or multi-pipeline structures. Migrations with large activity histories (over 200,000 records), many custom fields, or data quality issues requiring cleansing before import move to eight to twelve weeks. The Pro-Sales CRM export completeness assessment during discovery is the primary timeline variable because any gaps requiring manual export or support requests extend the preparation phase.
