Overview
Resco – Mobility & Productivity is not a standalone CRM — it is an offline-first mobile extension layer wrapping an underlying Microsoft Dynamics 365, Dataverse, or Salesforce instance. All master data (Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities) lives in the parent CRM; Resco adds mobile form capture, inspection questionnaires, work orders, route plans, and GPS location tracking. A migration to Pipedrive requires pulling the full data layer from the underlying CRM, remapping Resco-specific entities (work orders, inspections, custom Woodford objects) into Pipedrive's Organization-Person-Deal-Activity schema, and deciding what field service artifacts to archive versus rebuild as Pipedrive deals with custom fields. Pipedrive has no native work order, route optimization, or digital inspection form object — these require configuration remapping or process redesign. Pipedrive's API enforces 80 requests per two seconds and 80,000 requests per day at all paid tiers; we apply batch chunking and exponential backoff during migration. We do not migrate Resco Guides (discontinued, no path), Woodford workflows, route plans as configuration, or reports and dashboards as code — these are inventoried and handed off for rebuild.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Resco – Mobility & Productivity 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.
Resco – Mobility & Productivity
Account / Company
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1Resco mirrors the parent CRM's Account entity directly. We extract Account records from the underlying Dynamics 365, Dataverse, or Salesforce instance and map them to Pipedrive Organization records 1:1. The Organization's address, phone, domain, and industry fields carry over from the corresponding Account fields. We use the organization's primary email domain as a deduplication key during import to flag duplicates in the Pipedrive destination.
Resco – Mobility & Productivity
Contact
Pipedrive
Person
1:1Resco Contact records sync through the standard parent CRM channel and map to Pipedrive Person records with a 1:1 relationship. Contact ownership, email, phone, title, and the link to the parent Account (which becomes the Person's linked Organization) are preserved. We resolve the Organization lookup at migration time so that Persons are linked to Organizations on insert rather than requiring a post-migration linkage pass.
Resco – Mobility & Productivity
Work Order
Pipedrive
Deal (with custom fields)
1:1Resco Work Orders (from the Field Service+ layer) have no direct Pipedrive equivalent — Pipedrive has no work order or field service object. We map Work Order records to Pipedrive Deals and use custom Deal fields to carry work order attributes: work_order_number becomes a text custom field, status maps to a deal stage or custom picklist, assigned technician maps to the Deal owner, and work order line items become Deal Product entries or Activity-linked notes. Customers choose during scoping whether to use Deals as work order proxies or to archive closed work orders as historical records.
Resco – Mobility & Productivity
Work Order Line Item
Pipedrive
Deal Product
1:1Resco Work Order Line Items map to Pipedrive Deal Products attached to the corresponding Deal (sourced from the parent Work Order). Product name, quantity, unit price, and line item status transfer to the Deal's product entries. If a Resco work order has no associated product catalog (service-only work orders), we create the line items as Activity notes instead.
Resco – Mobility & Productivity
Inspection Questionnaire Template
Pipedrive
Custom fields + Note
lossyInspection questionnaire definitions configured in Woodford are Resco-specific artifacts with conditional branching logic that has no Pipedrive equivalent. We export the questionnaire schema separately from response data and deliver it as a structured document for the customer's admin to rebuild using Pipedrive's custom fields and activity notes. Completed inspection responses (the data) migrate as Activity records linked to the parent Deal or Organization with a structured note body capturing the response tree.
Resco – Mobility & Productivity
Mobile Auditing (Location Tracking Records)
Pipedrive
Activity (with custom fields)
1:1Resco Mobile Auditing records store location history as entity entries where the Owner field is the tracking user, not the asset or work order. These records are audit artifacts rather than sales CRM data. We preserve location records as Activity entries on the corresponding User's timeline or as a linked Note on the relevant Work Order/Deal, with GPS coordinates, timestamp, and user identity captured in custom Activity fields. Customers who do not need audit-trail location history can elect to exclude these records to reduce migration volume.
Resco – Mobility & Productivity
Route Plan
Pipedrive
Not migratable
lossyRoute plans are optimized sequences of work orders and inspections generated by Resco's routing engine. These are configuration data produced by a proprietary optimization algorithm and have no equivalent in Pipedrive. We document every route plan as a written inventory (route name, stop sequence, associated work orders, geographic waypoints) and recommend rebuilding using a routing optimization tool or manually reconstructing in Pipedrive's Activity sequence. Route plan data itself does not transfer as executable configuration.
Resco – Mobility & Productivity
Custom Entity (Woodford-configured)
Pipedrive
Custom fields or custom Objects
lossyCustom entities created in Woodford that are mirrored in the underlying CRM migrate as Pipedrive custom fields on the matching standard object. Any custom entity not mirrored in the destination CRM requires explicit schema re-creation: we pre-create Pipedrive custom fields with the correct data type (text, number, date, picklist, person, organization) before data import, and the customer's admin validates the field structure against the original Woodford entity definition delivered in the discovery export.
Resco – Mobility & Productivity
Document / Attachment
Pipedrive
File
1:1Resco routes documents and photos to external storage (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint) or stores them on the CRM server. We migrate CRM-linked attachments as Pipedrive Files attached to the corresponding Person, Organization, or Deal. Files stored externally in Resco's connected cloud services are inventoried with their source URLs; if the customer uses the same external storage provider, we preserve the link. Files stored only locally in Resco require explicit export before the migration window closes.
Resco – Mobility & Productivity
Activity / Calendar Event
Pipedrive
Activity
1:1Activities (calls, emails, meetings, tasks) sync through the standard CRM integration channel and map 1:1 to Pipedrive Activities. Meeting location, start and end time, assigned user, and linked Organization or Person transfer directly. Call disposition, duration, and outcome map to custom Activity fields or to the standard outcome picklist. Activity timestamps are preserved to maintain the historical timeline.
Resco – Mobility & Productivity
User / Owner
Pipedrive
User
1:1Resco user records reference the underlying CRM user identity. We resolve users by email match against the Pipedrive destination User table. Any Resco user without a matching Pipedrive User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Active/inactive status and role assignments are preserved as documented in the discovery export.
Resco – Mobility & Productivity
Product (if synced to Resco from parent CRM)
Pipedrive
Product
1:1Products synced from the underlying CRM to Resco map to Pipedrive Product records. We preserve product name, SKU (product_code), unit price, and any product description. If the parent CRM was Salesforce, the Pricebook2 structure maps to Pipedrive's product pricing model, with the customer choosing whether to use standard pricing or multi-tier pricing.

Migration approach
Source CRM audit and Resco artifact inventory
We audit the underlying CRM (Dynamics 365, Dataverse, or Salesforce) connected to Resco: Account, Contact, Work Order, custom entity, and Activity record volumes; Woodford project export including custom entity schemas and form definitions; active sync filters in Woodford; any Resco Guides configurations; and external storage connections for document routing. We identify every entity with data to migrate, flag entities with no Pipedrive equivalent (work orders, inspections, route plans, location tracking), and produce a written artifact inventory with disposition recommendations (migrate, archive, exclude) before any data moves.
Destination Pipedrive configuration and custom field provisioning
We configure the Pipedrive destination org before migration begins. This includes provisioning custom fields on Organization, Person, and Deal objects to accommodate Resco work order attributes, inspection response data, and any custom entity attributes that do not map to standard fields. We set up Pipedrive pipelines and stages to reflect the work order lifecycle if the customer elects to use Deals as work order proxies. We also configure the Pipedrive User roster to match the active user set from the source CRM, flagging any missing users for the customer to provision.
Sandbox migration and record reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Pipedrive trial or sandbox environment using representative data volume. The customer's admin reviews record counts (Organizations, Persons, Deals, Activities), spot-checks 25-50 records against the source CRM for field-level accuracy, and validates that custom field data arrived in the correct Pipedrive fields. Any mapping corrections — wrong field assignments, missing custom fields, stage naming mismatches — happen here before production migration begins. This step also surfaces whether the Pipedrive plan's custom field limit accommodates the migrated schema.
User reconciliation and Owner provisioning
We extract every distinct Owner referenced on Account, Contact, Work Order, and Activity records from the source CRM and match by email against the Pipedrive User table. Owners without a matching Pipedrive User go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision. Pipedrive requires a User to own each Person, Organization, and Deal — migration cannot proceed past this step if ownership references cannot be resolved.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Organizations (from Accounts), Persons (from Contacts with OrganizationId resolved), Deals (from Work Orders with OwnerId and linked Organization resolved, work order attributes in custom fields), Products (if present in source), Deal Products (from Work Order Line Items), Activities (Tasks, Meetings, Calls from the parent CRM's activity history via Pipedrive's REST API with batch chunking and rate-limit-aware throttling), Custom entity data (mapped to custom fields or Notes), and Documents (as Pipedrive Files attached to the parent record). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, delta sync, and documentation handoff
We freeze writes to the source CRM during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration, then enable Pipedrive as the system of record. We deliver the artifact inventory document listing every work order, inspection template, route plan, and Guides configuration with disposition notes and rebuild recommendations. We support a five-business-day hypercare window to resolve reconciliation issues raised by the team. We do not rebuild Resco workflows, Woodford automations, route plans, or inspection templates as Pipedrive automation; those are separate configuration work for the customer's admin post-migration.
