Overview
ServeManager stores a vertical-specific data model built around the service-of-process workflow: Jobs hold the serve instructions and due dates, Attempts capture GPS-verified timestamps and photos, Companies represent the law firms and agencies that hire servers, and Invoices track billing against those clients. Salesforce Sales Cloud has no native service-of-process object — Jobs map to Cases when you want field-level service tracking, Attempts map to Tasks or Events with original timestamps and owners preserved, Companies map to Accounts, and Invoices map to a custom Invoice__c object or Opportunity Products depending on your billing workflow. The migration runs via ServeManager's CSV export against Salesforce's Bulk API 2.0, with GPS coordinates stored as a custom geolocation field on the Case record. The harder problems are translating ServeManager's multi-status attempt lifecycle (None → Attempted → Served / Noticed) into Salesforce's Case Status pick-list, preserving photo attachments as Salesforce Files with parent-case links, and mapping ServeManager's flat per-job structure into a Salesforce org where Contacts must resolve through AccountId lookups before Cases can attach. We surface everything that cannot auto-migrate — workflow rules, notification templates, Stripe integration settings — so your team has a rebuild checklist before go-live.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a ServeManager 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.
ServeManager
Company
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1ServeManager Companies represent the law firms and agencies that hire process servers. They map directly to Salesforce Accounts with a one-to-one relationship. Billing address, phone, and primary contact email transfer as standard Account fields. Multi-contact law firms maintain one Account record with multiple Contact records linked beneath it for attorney, paralegal, and ops contacts.
ServeManager
Contact (on Company)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1ServeManager stores contacts on Companies — attorneys, paralegals, and ops contacts who request service. They map to Salesforce Contacts with an AccountId lookup back to the mapped Account. Primary flag on ServeManager maps to the first Contact in the Salesforce related list.
ServeManager
Job
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Case
1:1ServeManager Jobs hold serve instructions, due date, address, and job type. Salesforce has no native Job object, so we map Jobs to Cases with a custom Job_Number__c field holding the original ServeManager Job ID. Case Origin is set to 'Process Service' to distinguish from other case types.
ServeManager
Job.status
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Case.Status
1:1ServeManager Job statuses (Open, Assigned, Completed, Cancelled) map to Salesforce Case Status pick-list values. Open maps to 'New', Assigned maps to 'In Progress', Completed maps to 'Resolved', and Cancelled maps to 'Closed Lost. You configure the Salesforce pick-list labels before migration to match your existing workflow states.
ServeManager
Attempt
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task
1:1Each ServeManager Attempt record — with attempt date, time, result (Served, Not Served, Refused), and officer notes — maps to a Salesforce Task under the Case. Task.Subject follows the pattern 'Serve Attempt #N', Task.ActivityDate holds the attempt date, and Task.Status defaults to 'Completed'.
ServeManager
Attempt.GPS_Latitude / GPS_Longitude
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task.Attempt_Latitude__c / Attempt_Longitude__c
1:1ServeManager captures GPS coordinates on each attempt via its mobile app. Salesforce Tasks have no native geolocation field, so we create two custom decimal fields (Attempt_Latitude__c, Attempt_Longitude__c) on the Task object. Each child Task under the Case receives the GPS coordinates from its parent Attempt, preserving the spatial record for reporting and court-evidence purposes.
ServeManager
Attempt.Photo_Proof
Salesforce Sales Cloud
ContentDocumentLink (File)
1:1ServeManager photos attached to Attempts re-upload as Salesforce Files (ContentDocument). Each File gets a ContentDocumentLink to the child Task so photos appear in the Attempt's related list on the Case. Photos download from ServeManager export, then bulk-upload to Salesforce with the TaskId as the parentId.
ServeManager
Invoice
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Invoice__c (Custom Object)
1:1ServeManager Invoices have invoice number, amount, status, and line items tied to Jobs. Salesforce has no standard Invoice object below Revenue Cloud. We create a custom Invoice__c object with an AccountId lookup, Job_Number__c reference, Invoice_Number__c, Amount__c, Status__c, and Invoice_Date__c fields.
ServeManager
Payment
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Payment__c (Custom Object)
1:1ServeManager Payments record transaction details against an Invoice with payment date, amount, and Stripe reference. A custom Payment__c object links to the Invoice__c record via a lookup field, storing Payment_Date__c, Amount__c, Stripe_Transaction_ID__c, and Payment_Method__c fields to maintain full payment history within Salesforce.
ServeManager
Server Payable
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Server_Payable__c (Custom Object)
1:1ServeManager tracks what each server is owed per job — the payable amount, status, and server contact. We create a custom Server_Payable__c object linked to the Job's Case and to the server's Contact record, with fields for Payable_Amount__c, Status__c, and Paid_Date__c.
ServeManager
Job.custom_field_*
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Case.Custom_*__c
1:1ServeManager allows custom fields per Job. Each custom field creates a corresponding custom field on the Case object in Salesforce (Custom__c naming convention). We document the full list during discovery, create the fields in your Salesforce org before migration, then map values during the load.
ServeManager
Job.hs_object_id (internal ID)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Case.Source_Job_ID__c
1:1The original ServeManager Job ID is stored as a custom text field on the Case for traceability and delta-run de-duplication. This custom Source_Job_ID__c field allows FlitStack to identify which records were already migrated if a second migration run is needed after go-live.

Migration approach
Export ServeManager data and map to Salesforce custom schema
FlitStack extracts all exportable objects from ServeManager: Jobs, Attempts, Companies, Contacts, Invoices, Payments, and Server Payables via the built-in CSV export. We review the export for encoding issues, missing parent references, and null fields, then create the Invoice__c, Payment__c, and Server_Payable__c custom object schema in your Salesforce org with all required custom fields before the load. GPS fields, original create dates, and Stripe references are pre-configured as __c fields at this stage.
Create Salesforce Accounts and Contacts before loading Cases
Salesforce requires Accounts to exist before Contacts can resolve their AccountId lookups, and Cases require either an AccountId or ContactId to attach to a page layout. FlitStack sequences the migration so Companies load as Accounts first, then Contacts resolve to AccountId by company name match, then Jobs load as Cases with the AccountId and ContactId populated from the prior step. Any Job with no parent Company receives a placeholder Account so no Case is orphaned.
Load Attempts as child Tasks under each Case
Once Cases exist in Salesforce, FlitStack loads Attempts as Tasks linked via the WhatId field pointing to the parent Case. Each Task receives Subject (Serve Attempt #N), ActivityDate (attempt date), Attempt_Latitude__c and Attempt_Longitude__c (GPS), and Description (officer notes and result). Photo files are downloaded from ServeManager's attachment system, then bulk-uploaded as Salesforce Files with a ContentDocumentLink to each corresponding Task.
Run sample migration with field-level diff on 50–100 records
A representative slice of data — spanning a mix of Jobs with multiple Attempts, Jobs with photos, Jobs that generated Invoices, and Jobs with no parent Company — migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source CSV values against Salesforce field values post-load. You verify GPS coordinate accuracy, attempt count under each Case, invoice amount matching, and AccountId resolution before committing to the full run.
Full migration with delta-pickup window and rollback plan
The full dataset loads via Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 with batch sizes tuned to avoid rate-limit throttling. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) runs after the full load captures any ServeManager records modified during the migration window. FlitStack provides a pre-configured rollback script that deletes all migrated Case, Task, Account, Contact, and custom object records if post-load reconciliation fails, so go/no-go is a documented decision, not a leap.
