Overview
Q Dispatch targets field-service teams that need day-to-day dispatching, job scheduling, and technician mobility — but its data model stops at the work order. HubSpot provides the CRM object graph (contacts, companies, deals, tickets) plus marketing and service hubs that Q Dispatch doesn't offer. The migration carries Q Dispatch customers, jobs, work orders, line items, technician profiles, and any custom dispatch fields into HubSpot's objects. We map work orders to Deals with service-type deal pipelines, job statuses to custom pick-list fields, and technician profiles to HubSpot users where emails match. Dispatch-specific data like routing sequences, geo-tags, and capacity windows have no HubSpot equivalent — we preserve those in custom properties and note which ones need manual rebuild as HubSpot workflows. HubSpot's API supports bulk record creation and property import, so the migration runs as a staged bulk load with delta-pickup covering in-flight jobs during cutover. Workflows, automations, and routing rules do not migrate — they must be rebuilt in HubSpot's workflow builder.
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 Q Dispatch 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.
Q Dispatch
Customer
HubSpot
Contact + Company
1:1Q Dispatch stores customer name, phone, email, and address on a single customer record. HubSpot splits these into Contact (name, email, phone, title) and Company (name, domain, industry). We create both and link them via the primary company association on the contact.
Q Dispatch
Job / Work Order
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Q Dispatch work orders map directly to HubSpot Deals. Job name becomes deal name, job amount becomes deal amount, and job status maps via value-mapping to a HubSpot deal stage pick-list. Original job create date is preserved as a custom property.
Q Dispatch
Job Status
HubSpot
Deal Stage + Custom Property
1:1Q Dispatch job statuses (Scheduled, In Progress, Completed, Cancelled) map to HubSpot deal stages by value. If Q Dispatch uses custom status labels, we map them to the closest HubSpot stage or a custom pick-list property and document the mapping before migration.
Q Dispatch
Line Items / Job Line Items
HubSpot
Deal Line Items
1:1Each line item on a Q Dispatch job transfers to a HubSpot deal line item, preserving the product name, quantity, unit price, and total amount. If Q Dispatch includes a product ID or SKU, we map it to the HubSpot product-record field for linking. The line-item-to-deal association is recreated using HubSpot's line-item relationship endpoint, ensuring that every line item appears under the correct deal in the CRM.
Q Dispatch
Technician / User
HubSpot
HubSpot User
1:1Q Dispatch technician profiles (name, email, certifications, capacity flags) map to HubSpot users by email match. Certification fields become custom user properties in HubSpot. If a technician email doesn't match an existing HubSpot user, the record is flagged for your admin to invite or reassign.
Q Dispatch
Job Notes / Attachments
HubSpot
Deal Notes + Attachments
1:1All notes attached to Q Dispatch jobs are migrated as HubSpot deal notes, preserving the original note body, creation timestamp, and author information. File attachments such as images, PDFs, or diagrams are re-uploaded to HubSpot Files and linked to the corresponding deal via the attachment API. After migration, the deal timeline displays the full note history, allowing service teams to review context without switching platforms.
Q Dispatch
Custom Dispatch Fields on Jobs
HubSpot
Custom Properties on Deal
1:1Q Dispatch custom fields on jobs (routing tags, certification requirements, service-type codes) become HubSpot custom properties on the Deal object. We create each custom property in HubSpot before migration and map values field-by-field. Data types are matched: text fields to single-line text, pick-lists to single-select, numbers to number properties.
Q Dispatch
Scheduling Windows / Route Data
HubSpot
Custom Properties + Notes
1:1Q Dispatch stores scheduling windows, preferred time slots, and routing data that has no native HubSpot equivalent. We preserve the raw scheduling data as custom properties on the deal and as a note attachment. Your team decides which scheduling logic to rebuild as HubSpot workflows or a third-party scheduling integration.
Q Dispatch
Service Request / Lead
HubSpot
Contact + Deal
many:1Q Dispatch incoming service requests without an assigned job map to HubSpot contacts with an associated deal in an early pipeline stage. The contact holds customer details; the deal holds the estimated job scope. This prevents orphaned records and keeps the service funnel visible in HubSpot.
Q Dispatch
Historical Job Reports
HubSpot
Custom Properties on Deal
1:1Q Dispatch job history reports (jobs completed per technician, average job duration) can be summarized as custom properties on the technician's user record in HubSpot or stored as deal-level fields for reporting continuity. We discuss the preferred approach during scoping.

Migration approach
Audit Q Dispatch data model and generate custom property checklist
FlitStack AI extracts a full schema export from Q Dispatch covering all standard objects (customers, jobs, technicians) and custom fields. We compare this against HubSpot's standard properties and generate a HubSpot custom-property creation checklist with property names, types, and pick-list values. Your HubSpot admin creates these properties before the migration date. We validate the property set matches the checklist before moving to the next step.
Match Q Dispatch technicians to HubSpot users by email
We pull the Q Dispatch technician list and match each record against HubSpot users by email. Unmatched technicians are listed in a resolution report — your admin either invites them to HubSpot or provides a fallback owner for their job records. No job migrates without an owner resolution. Certification and capacity data on each technician maps to custom user properties identified in the custom property checklist.
Migrate customers to contacts and companies first
HubSpot requires companies to exist before contacts can link to them via associatedcompanyid. We migrate Q Dispatch company records first, then contacts with the company link resolved. Customer name splits into firstname and lastname during this step. Any Q Dispatch customer without an email is flagged — your team decides whether to import as-is or suppress those records from the initial migration.
Migrate jobs to deals with status and custom field mapping
Q Dispatch jobs map to HubSpot deals. Job status maps to deal stage via the value-mapping table built during scoping. Custom Q Dispatch fields on jobs populate HubSpot custom properties on the deal. Scheduling window data and routing tags migrate as custom text properties. Line items migrate as deal line items; if a product library does not exist, line items attach as deal-level notes with a flag to build a product library post-migration. Owner assignment uses the technician-to-user crosswalk from step 2.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 200–500 records spanning customers, contacts, deals, and line items — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff showing source value, mapped destination field, and destination value for every property. Your team reviews the diff to confirm status mapping, custom field rendering, and owner resolution. No full migration runs until the sample is signed off. FlitStack can re-run the sample as many times as needed to validate mapping changes before the full commit.
Cut over with delta-pickup and audit log
The full migration runs against HubSpot in a staged bulk load. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any Q Dispatch records modified or created during cutover. Every migration operation is logged to an audit report showing record count, field mappings applied, and any errors encountered. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails. After rollback, your team can re-clean Q Dispatch data and restart the full migration. Scheduling data (time windows, routing logic) is preserved as custom properties but flagged for HubSpot workflow rebuild.
