Migrate your ServeManager data
Cloud-based process-serving platform with a mobile-first field app, GPS-timestamped attempts, and integrated client billing. Built for solo servers and process-serving companies who serve law firms.
In its favor
Why people choose ServeManager
The signal that keeps ServeManager on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
ServeManager was mobile-first before competitors caught up — process servers can enter jobs and save GPS-verified attempts directly from the field without a desktop, a feature reviewers consistently credit for keeping their operations organized on the road.
GPS-timestamped attempt records satisfy court requirements that other platforms handle only through workarounds, making ServeManager the practical choice for jurisdictions that demand location documentation on proof of service.
Client portal and automated email notifications reduce the back-and-forth phone calls that solo servers and small firms spend on status updates, freeing billable time for serving rather than communicating.
Stripe-powered online payment processing lets law firms and process-serving clients settle invoices digitally, though reviewers note the combined Stripe-plus-ServeManager fee structure adds cost on larger invoices.
Highly responsive customer service team earns repeat praise in reviews, with users citing the support staff as a key reason they stayed through early learning-curve friction.
The affidavit and custom document system produces bland, small-font output that requires manual reformatting before court filing, driving process servers to alternatives that produce more polished proof-of-service forms.
Stripe integration charges a percentage of the invoice amount on top of Stripe's own fees, meaning larger invoices carry disproportionately high processing costs with no added ServeManager effort — reviewers call this paying twice.
Complex software with a steep initial learning curve — G2 reviewers describe it as demanding highly skilled people, though others report that new servers become productive within days once trained.
For process servers working outside the US or in non-English-speaking jurisdictions, the platform's feature set is oriented almost entirely toward US legal process and may not map cleanly to international practice needs.

What gets migrated
ServeManager object support
Object-by-object support for ServeManager migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Jobs
Fully supportedJobs are the central record in ServeManager, carrying service type, due date, address, client reference, and instructions. We export Jobs as CSV from the built-in spreadsheet export and re-map them to the target system's Matters, Cases, or Service Records. The job's status lifecycle (open, in-progress, completed) maps to destination pipeline stages on a value-by-value basis.
Attempts
Fully supportedEvery field attempt is a distinct record holding GPS coordinates, timestamp, service result, photo, and electronic signature. We export Attempts as a related CSV and attach them to their parent Job in the destination, preserving the location data as structured fields rather than text notes so reports remain sortable by location or time.
Companies
Fully supportedCompanies represent the law firms and agencies that hire the process-serving company. We export the Companies list as a flat CSV and upsert them into the destination's Accounts or Organizations object, matching on company name and address to avoid duplicates.
Invoices
Fully supportedServeManager generates invoices tied to Jobs and linked to line items and the originating Company. We export full Invoice records including line-item amounts, tax codes, due dates, and payment status. Historical paid invoices preserve their settled status; open invoices land as open receivables in the destination.
Payments
Fully supportedPayments record every settled invoice, capturing the amount, payment method (Stripe, cash, check), and timestamp. We export the Payments ledger and map it to the destination's Payment or Transaction records, linking each payment to its originating Invoice for a clean audit trail.
Server Payables
Fully supportedServeManager tracks what the process-serving company owes its individual field servers per completed Job. We export the Server Payables records, which include server name, job reference, agreed rate, and payment status. We map these to the destination's Accounts Payable or Expenses object with the server as the vendor.
Attachments
Mapping requiredAttempts carry photo proof and electronic signatures as attachments. The export spreadsheet references attachments by filename but does not bundle binary files in the CSV. We download attachments via the mobile app or web export UI and push them to the destination's document or file attachements, grouping them under their parent Attempt record.
Documents
Mapping requiredServeManager generates affidavit PDFs and supports custom document templates. The platform offers a library of standard forms; custom templates require ServeManager to build them on subscriber request. We export existing generated PDFs and map the document type label so affidavit records land under the correct category in the destination.
