Overview
Road Runner is a field-service management platform built for container rental operations — its data model centers on Customers, Jobs, Containers, Invoices, and Drivers with GPS and route-optimization features tied to QB accounting integration. Twenty CRM is a modern open-source CRM with a standard People, Companies, Opportunities, Tasks, and Notes object model plus unlimited custom objects and fields. The migration requires translating Road Runner's job-centric schema into Twenty's contact-centric model: customers become People linked to Companies, active jobs become Opportunities with stage mapping, containers migrate as custom objects, and invoices move to custom fields or a dedicated custom object if your team needs line-item history accessible inside Twenty. FlitStack uses Road Runner's API and CSV export endpoints to extract records, applies type-aware field transformations, and loads into Twenty via CSV import and GraphQL API. Workflows, automations, QB integrations, GPS route data, and driver apps do not migrate and must be rebuilt or reconfigured on the Twenty side. We sequence the migration so company records land first, then people with their companyId links, then opportunities with person and company associations, then any container or custom objects. A 24–48 hour delta window captures jobs created or modified during the cutover window before you decommission Road Runner.
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 Road Runner object lands in Twenty CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Road Runner
Customer
Twenty CRM
People
1:1Road Runner customers map directly to Twenty People. Each customer record's name, email, phone, and address fields map to the corresponding Twenty fields. Customer records without an email receive a placeholder domain (e.g., customer-{id}@placeholder.local) flagged for admin review. Phone numbers are normalized to a standard format during import.
Road Runner
Customer Company
Twenty CRM
Companies
1:1When a Road Runner customer represents a business entity rather than an individual, their company name and domain map to Twenty Companies. The companyId relationship links the People record to the Companies record, preserving the account hierarchy that Twenty uses for pipeline reporting.
Road Runner
Job
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:1Road Runner jobs are the primary work unit. Each job maps to a Twenty Opportunity with the job name as the Opportunity name, job amount as the Amount, and the Road Runner status (Scheduled, In Progress, Completed, Invoiced) mapped to a Twenty Opportunity stage pick-list. Job priority maps to a custom Priority field on the Opportunity.
Road Runner
Job Status
Twenty CRM
Opportunity Stage
1:1Road Runner's job status field has discrete values that must map to Twenty's Opportunity Stage values. 'Scheduled' maps to a Prospecting or Qualification stage; 'In Progress' maps to an active stage; 'Completed' maps to Closed Won; 'Invoiced' maps to Closed Won with invoice data attached; 'Cancelled' maps to Closed Lost.
Road Runner
Container
Twenty CRM
Custom Object: Container
1:1Road Runner's container tracking has no direct Twenty CRM equivalent. We create a Container custom object in Twenty with fields for Container ID, Type/Size, Status (On Rent, Available, In Service), and Current Location. Each container links to its associated Company via a relation field.
Road Runner
Invoice / Billing Record
Twenty CRM
Custom Object: Invoice
1:1Road Runner's QB-synced invoices require a custom Invoice object in Twenty if line-item history is needed inside the CRM. We map Invoice ID, date, total amount, and status. If only summary invoice data is required, these fields attach to the parent Opportunity record instead.
Road Runner
Job Activity (call, note, email)
Twenty CRM
Task / Note
1:1Road Runner job notes and communication logs attached to a job record migrate as Twenty Notes linked to the corresponding Opportunity. Timestamps and author attribution are preserved. Call disposition records map to Tasks with the disposition captured in the Task subject or a custom field.
Road Runner
Driver
Twenty CRM
WorkspaceMember / Custom Object: Driver
1:1Road Runner driver records map to Twenty Workspace Members by email match if drivers are also CRM users. If drivers are not CRM users, their records migrate as a custom Driver object with name, phone, and status fields, linked to job assignments via a relation field on the Opportunity.
Road Runner
Attachment / File
Twenty CRM
Note / External Storage
1:1Road Runner attachments (photos, delivery confirmations, container condition reports) download from Road Runner storage and re-upload to Twenty's attached Notes. If the files are large or numerous, we surface them in Twenty as a custom URL field pointing to a shared storage location rather than migrating binary blobs directly.
Road Runner
Custom Properties (container type, rental tier, service agreement)
Twenty CRM
Custom Fields on relevant objects
1:1Any Road Runner custom fields on customer, job, or container records migrate as custom fields on the corresponding Twenty object. Multi-select pick-lists in Road Runner (e.g., service types applied to a job) map to Twenty multi-select fields or a series of boolean fields depending on filterability needs.
Road Runner
Owner / Assigned Rep
Twenty CRM
WorkspaceMember (OwnerId)
1:1Road Runner owner or assigned rep on a job record is resolved by email match against Twenty Workspace Members. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration. You either invite them to Twenty first or assign their records to a fallback owner — no record lands without an owner reference in Twenty.
Road Runner
QB Integration Records
Twenty CRM
Not Migrated
1:1QuickBooks sync state, QB-specific invoice IDs, and payment reconciliation links do not have an equivalent in Twenty CRM. Invoice header data migrates to the custom Invoice object; QB-level transaction references are stored as a text field for reconcilliation after you connect your accounting tool to Twenty.

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.
Road Runner gotchas
No public REST API for FSM record export
v1-to-v2 API rewrite requires complete config migration
Per-installation KV namespace schema varies
Bulk export not supported — we read incrementally
Attachment and media files are external to RoadRunner
Twenty CRM gotchas
Import order is enforced and critical
Export limited to 20,000 records and visible columns only
Soft-deleted records count toward uniqueness and trigger restores
API rate limits cap at 200 req/min on Organization tier
No native email sequences — follow-up cadences require external tools
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Road Runner data and build the field mapping document
FlitStack extracts a full export from Road Runner via API and CSV, covering customers, jobs, containers, invoices, and driver records. We produce a mapping document that specifies for each field: the source Road Runner field name, the destination Twenty field or custom object, the transformation type (direct, value-map, custom field required), and any business rules for multi-value or multi-record fields like container assignments. This document is the contract for the migration — you review and approve it before any data moves.
Create Twenty workspace structure and custom objects
Before records land, we create the Container and Invoice custom objects in Twenty along with any custom fields referenced in the mapping document (Opportunity_Priority__c, Opportunity_Type__c, and others). Twenty requires fields to exist before import, so this step runs before the CSV upload. We also invite all team members to Twenty at this stage so owner and assigned-rep email matching can resolve at migration time rather than leaving records orphaned.
Import records in dependency order
Twenty's import system requires parent records before children: Companies first, then People linked to Companies, then Opportunities linked to People and Companies. Containers and Invoices import after their parent records exist. FlitStack sequences the load so foreign-key references resolve correctly on the first pass. Any Road Runner record with a missing parent (e.g., a job with a deleted customer) is flagged, de-duplicated against existing records, and surfaced in a remediation report for your team to resolve before the full run.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 200–500 records covering a range of job statuses, container types, and customer types — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff showing exactly what landed in Twenty for each record compared to the source. You verify that job-status to stage mapping produced the expected Opportunity stages, that container links attached to the right Opportunities, and that owner matching resolved correctly. The diff is the gating artifact before the full production migration commits.
Execute full migration with delta pickup window
The full record set migrates into Twenty. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours after initial load captures any Road Runner records created or modified during the cutover. All operations are logged in an audit trail. If reconciliation reveals a data issue — a missing container link, an incorrect stage assignment — FlitStack provides a targeted re-migration of the affected records. One-click rollback is available if the full reconciliation check fails.
