Overview
Moving from Prospect CRM to Salesforce Sales Cloud is a data-model migration for B2B distributors who have outgrown the Start-Up tier's fixed 4-user ceiling or the platform's reporting limitations. Prospect CRM stores RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary) segmentation as a platform-specific contact property and Problem Pipelines as a non-standard object for tracking delivery issues and returns. We export RFM assignments as a custom Contact field in Salesforce and map Problem Pipeline records to Salesforce Cases with the original status and outcome preserved. Stock-aware quote flags do not carry live inventory context; we document the active integration setup so that your team can reconnect the back-office link (Unleashed, DEAR, TradeGecko, or Xero) in Salesforce. Annual contract exit timing and the 90-day notice window are factored into the migration schedule to avoid paying for two platforms simultaneously.
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 Prospect CRM object lands in Salesforce Sales Cloud, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Prospect CRM
Contact
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1Prospect CRM Contact records map directly to Salesforce Contact. Standard fields (FirstName, LastName, Email, Phone, MailingAddress) migrate cleanly to Contact fields of equivalent type. We preserve any custom Contact properties as typed Salesforce custom fields (Text, Number, Date, or Picklist) using the __c suffix per Salesforce convention. RFM segmentation values (Recency, Frequency, Monetary tiers) migrate as a multi-select picklist custom field rfm_segment__c to maintain the customer classification without a custom object.
Prospect CRM
Company
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1Prospect CRM Company records map to Salesforce Account. The company name becomes Account Name, billing and shipping addresses map to the corresponding Account address fields, and any custom Company properties migrate as custom fields on Account. Account is created before Contact import so that the AccountId lookup on Contact is satisfied at insert time, maintaining the parent-child relationship.
Prospect CRM
Deal
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity
1:1Prospect CRM Deals map to Salesforce Opportunity. Deal name becomes Opportunity Name, Deal value maps to Amount, and the pipeline stage assignment maps to StageName using an explicit stage mapping table we capture during scoping. OwnerId resolves via email match against the destination Salesforce User table. Closed-Lost and Closed-Won outcomes from Prospect CRM map to Salesforce Opportunity Stage values.
Prospect CRM
Pipeline Stage
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity Stage
lossyProspect CRM pipeline stages (e.g., 'Quoted', 'Awaiting Stock', 'Negotiation') require explicit mapping to Salesforce Stage values. We capture stage name, stage order, and probability percentage during discovery and configure the Salesforce Sales Process to whitelist only the relevant stages for the migrated pipeline. Stage probabilities round to the nearest Salesforce-allowed integer.
Prospect CRM
Product
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Product2
1:1Product catalog data including SKU, product name, description, and list price migrates from Prospect CRM to Salesforce Product2 records. Standard Pricebook entries are created during import. The stock-aware flag and live inventory linkage from Prospect CRM do not have a direct Salesforce equivalent; we map these to custom Boolean and text fields on Product2 and document the back-office reconnection requirement.
Prospect CRM
Stock-Aware Quote
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity with custom fields
lossyProspect CRM's stock-aware quoting feature pulls live inventory from back-office systems into the quote view. This is a connection-level integration, not a data field, and cannot be migrated as data. We export the last-known stock status, available quantity, and stock flag values as custom Opportunity fields (pcs_stock_available__c, pcs_last_stock_check__c) and deliver a reconnection checklist for Unleashed, DEAR, or TradeGecko with required credentials and webhook URLs.
Prospect CRM
Activity (calls, emails, meetings, tasks)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task and Event
1:1Prospect CRM activity history (calls, emails, meetings, tasks, notes) migrates as Salesforce Task and Event records. Call engagements map to Task with TaskSubtype = Call; meeting engagements map to Event with StartDateTime and EndDateTime preserved; emails map to Task with body content in Description; task engagements map to Task with Status and Priority preserved. ActivityDate timestamps are preserved to maintain the chronological timeline. We use the Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 for large activity volumes (100,000+ records) with parent-record lookup resolution on WhoId and WhatId.
Prospect CRM
Problem Pipeline
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Case
lossyProspect CRM's Problem Pipelines object (used for tracking delivery issues, returns, and complaints) does not map to a standard Salesforce object by default. We migrate Problem records as Salesforce Cases with the original Status, Outcome, and linked Customer fields preserved. Problem type (delivery, return, complaint) maps to a custom Case Type picklist. If the destination org does not include Service Cloud, Cases are migrated as a custom object (Problem__c) with equivalent fields to preserve the data.
Prospect CRM
Custom Fields
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Fields
lossyCustom fields on Prospect CRM Contacts, Companies, and Deals migrate as Salesforce custom fields. We capture field type (dropdown, date, number, text, checkbox) during discovery and map to the equivalent Salesforce field type. Dropdown fields in Prospect CRM become Picklist or Multi-Select Picklist in Salesforce; date fields become Date; numeric fields become Number with appropriate precision and scale. Validation rule requirements are documented for post-migration configuration by the customer's admin.
Prospect CRM
User / Team Member
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1Prospect CRM User records (names, email addresses, and role assignments) map to Salesforce User records. We resolve each Prospect CRM user by email against the destination Salesforce org's User table. Any Prospect CRM user without a matching Salesforce User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Role assignments map to Salesforce Role hierarchy if applicable.
Prospect CRM
Attachment
Salesforce Sales Cloud
ContentDocument
1:1File attachments on Deals, Contacts, and Problems migrate via URL reference where Prospect CRM exposes a download URL, or the file bytes are uploaded to Salesforce Files (ContentDocument) and linked via ContentDocumentLink to the parent record. We flag any attachment size limits in the target platform and advise splitting large files during re-upload if necessary.
Prospect CRM
Native Integrations (Unleashed, DEAR, TradeGecko, Xero)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Not migrated
1:1Prospect CRM's deep native integrations with back-office systems (Unleashed, DEAR, TradeGecko, QuickBooks, Xero) are connection-level configuration, not data. These integration links do not migrate. We document every active integration during scoping, capture the required credentials and API endpoints, and deliver a reconnection checklist for re-establishing each connection in Salesforce. This is a manual admin task post-migration.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and contract timing audit
We audit the source Prospect CRM account across active users, contract tier, contract end date, and 90-day notice window. We inventory all active integrations (Unleashed, DEAR, TradeGecko, Xero, QuickBooks) with connection details, capture the pipeline stage definitions, Problem Pipeline record count, RFM segment definitions, custom field schemas on Contacts, Companies, and Deals, and the total record volume for each object. The discovery output is a written migration scope that includes the contract exit timing recommendation and an integration reconnection checklist.
Schema design and custom field provisioning
We design the destination Salesforce schema in a Sandbox org. This includes provisioning custom fields (rfm_segment__c on Contact, pcs_stock_available__c on Opportunity, and others identified during discovery), configuring the Sales Process with stage values mapped from Prospect CRM pipeline stages, and confirming Service Cloud availability for Case-based Problem Pipeline migration. If the destination org does not have Service Cloud, we design the Problem__c custom object schema. All schema elements deploy via metadata API into Sandbox before any data moves.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Salesforce Sandbox using production-like record volume. The customer's admin reconciles record counts across all objects (Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, Cases or Problem__c records, Tasks, Events), spot-checks 25-50 records against Prospect CRM for field accuracy, and validates the stage mapping. Any field mapping corrections, stage name adjustments, or custom field type changes happen in Sandbox. No production data is touched until the sandbox migration is signed off.
User reconciliation and Salesforce User provisioning
We extract every distinct Prospect CRM user referenced on Contacts, Deals, Activities, and Problems and match by email against the destination Salesforce org's User table. Users without a matching Salesforce User go to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Salesforce admin provisions any missing Users and confirms role assignments. OwnerId references on Opportunities and Cases require valid User IDs, so this step gates the production migration. We flag whether any Prospect CRM users were deactivated before migration to ensure no records are orphaned to inactive owners.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from Companies, first to satisfy parent lookups), Contacts (with AccountId resolved and RFM segments as custom field values), Opportunities (with StageName mapped from Prospect CRM pipeline, OwnerId resolved), Products and Pricebook entries, Activity history (Tasks and Events via Bulk API 2.0 with WhoId and WhatId lookup resolution), Problem Pipelines (as Cases or Problem__c records), and custom fields. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Integration reconnection handoff and cutover
We freeze writes in Prospect CRM during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration, then enable Salesforce as the system of record. We deliver the integration reconnection checklist (with credentials and endpoint documentation for Unleashed, DEAR, TradeGecko, Xero, and QuickBooks) to the customer's admin. We deliver the Problem Pipeline mapping documentation and the RFM segment field definition. We do not rebuild automations or re-establish integrations as part of the standard migration scope; those are separate admin tasks. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues.
