Overview
Service Toolz is a field-service management platform built around work orders, technician scheduling, and job-site documentation. FreshSales CRM is a sales-focused system organized around Leads, Contacts, Accounts, and Deals. The data models diverge significantly: Service Toolz stores customers as contacts with work-order histories, while FreshSales separates Leads and Contacts with Account lookup relationships. We map Service Toolz contacts to FreshSales Contacts (for active customers) and Leads (for prospects), companies to Accounts, and quotes to Deals with amount and stage. Work orders have no native FreshSales equivalent — we migrate them as custom records linked to the parent Contact or Account so your job history travels intact. Scheduling, dispatch, and inventory data require manual rebuild in FreshSales workflows. All custom fields on contacts, quotes, and work orders are recreated as FreshSales custom properties, preserving pick‑list values and data types. The migration uses FreshSales REST API with rate‑limit awareness (1,000–5,000 requests/hour by plan tier) and includes a 24–48 hour delta‑pickup window for records modified during cutover. A pre‑migration audit flags duplicate records, missing email addresses, and unresolved technician owners, ensuring a clean, consistent dataset in FreshSales from day one.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Service Toolz object lands in Freshsales, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Service Toolz
Contact
Freshsales
Contact
1:1Service Toolz contact records map 1:1 to FreshSales Contacts when the record represents an active customer or ongoing relationship. Email, phone, name, and address fields transfer directly. Records without email addresses route to a holding state for manual review before migration commits.
Service Toolz
Contact (prospect)
Freshsales
Lead
1:manyService Toolz contacts flagged as prospective customers (no quote accepted, no work order completed) route to FreshSales Leads. Lead status pick-list values map from Service Toolz contact stage. Conversion to Contact occurs in FreshSales after the deal closes and the customer relationship matures.
Service Toolz
Company
Freshsales
Account
1:1Service Toolz company records map to FreshSales Accounts. Account name, domain, industry, employee count, and annual revenue transfer directly. Multiple contacts under one company in Service Toolz link to a single FreshSales Account via AccountId lookup. Parent-company hierarchies map to FreshSales Account hierarchy.
Service Toolz
Quote
Freshsales
Deal (Opportunity)
1:1Service Toolz quotes with accepted status become FreshSales Deals with amount, close date, and stage derived from quote status. Quote line items map to FreshSales Deal Products. Rejected or draft quotes become FreshSales Leads or closed-lost Deals depending on stage — your team decides the routing rule before migration runs.
Service Toolz
Work Order
Freshsales
Custom Object: Service_Job__c
1:1FreshSales has no native work-order object. We create a Service_Job__c custom object in FreshSales (Enterprise plan) or use linked notes on the Contact record (Growth/Pro) to preserve work-order number, status, description, and technician assignment. Status values (Scheduled, In Progress, Completed, Cancelled) map to FreshSales custom pick-list values.
Service Toolz
Work Order Checklist Item
Freshsales
Service_Job__c checklist custom field
1:1Work order checklist items from Service Toolz migrate as a multi-select text field on the Service_Job__c record. Completed items and notes attach as custom note records linked to the parent work order. Large checklist volumes (50+ items) are summarized rather than fully enumerated.
Service Toolz
Product
Freshsales
Product (FreshSales Catalog)
1:1Service Toolz products with pricing migrate to FreshSales Product Catalog entries. Unit price, description, and SKU transfer directly. Bundle or package products in Service Toolz decompose into FreshSales product bundles. Inventory quantities are informational only — FreshSales does not track real-time inventory.
Service Toolz
Invoice
Freshsales
No equivalent
1:1Service Toolz invoices do not map to FreshSales. FreshSales lacks native invoicing — invoice records migrate as custom fields on the Service_Job__c object (invoice number, amount, status) for reference. For ongoing invoicing, FreshSales CPQ add-on or a third-party accounting integration (QuickBooks, Xero) must be configured post-migration.
Service Toolz
Technician / User
Freshsales
User
1:1Service Toolz technician accounts resolve to FreshSales Users by email match. Unmatched technicians flag before migration — your team either invites them to FreshSales or assigns their work orders to a fallback owner. Service Toolz role or certification data migrates to FreshSales User custom fields.
Service Toolz
Attachment / File
Freshsales
FreshSales Files
1:1Service Toolz file attachments (photos, signed documents, PDFs) re-upload to FreshSales Files linked to the parent Contact, Account, or Service_Job__c record. File size limits apply (25MB per file in FreshSales). Inline images in work-order notes are extracted and rehosted as separate attachments.
Service Toolz
Scheduler Integration
Freshsales
No equivalent
1:1Service Toolz scheduling data (calendar blocks, route assignments, technician availability) does not map to FreshSales. Scheduling must be rebuilt using FreshSales integration with Google Calendar or external scheduling tools. We export the scheduling data as a CSV for reference during FreshSales workflow setup.
Service Toolz
Inventory
Freshsales
No equivalent
1:1Service Toolz inventory tracking (parts, stock levels, warehouse locations) has no native FreshSales equivalent. We migrate static inventory data as custom fields on the Product record (e.g., Stock_Level__c, Warehouse__c) for reference, but these fields will not update automatically. Ongoing inventory management must be handled by linking FreshSales to a dedicated inventory or ERP system after migration, ensuring real‑time stock visibility for service jobs.

Migration approach
Audit Service Toolz data and design FreshSales schema
We extract a full data export from Service Toolz covering contacts, companies, quotes, work orders, products, invoices, and attachments. We audit field completeness, identify duplicate records, and flag contacts without email addresses. Simultaneously, your FreshSales admin (or our team) creates the Service_Job__c custom object, custom fields, and Deal stage pipeline matching your quote statuses. We deliver a schema setup checklist before data moves so FreshSales is ready on day one of migration.
Resolve technician-to-User mapping and invoice reference setup
Service Toolz technician accounts are matched to FreshSales Users by email. We generate an owner‑resolution report that lists each matched user and flags any technicians without a corresponding FreshSales account. Your team either invites the unmatched technicians to FreshSales before migration or assigns their records to a designated fallback user. For invoice data, we confirm that the Service_Job__c custom fields (Invoice_Number__c, Invoice_Amount__c, Invoice_Status__c) are present in the FreshSales schema before moving invoice records, ensuring no field‑missing errors during the load.
Migrate Accounts, Contacts, and Leads before Deals and Work Orders
FreshSales requires Account records to exist before Contacts (via AccountId lookup) and requires Contacts before Deals (via Deal Products). We sequence the migration: Companies → Accounts first, then Contacts/Leads split by quote status, then Quotes → Deals with product line items, then Work Orders → Service_Job__c records linked to the parent Contact. This ordering ensures foreign keys resolve correctly and prevents orphaned records.
Run sample migration with field-level diff before full commit
A representative sample (typically 100–500 records spanning contacts, accounts, deals, and work orders) migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values to FreshSales field values so you can verify mapping accuracy — especially for lifecycle stage routing, quote-to-deal stage mapping, and work-order status translation. You approve the sample before the full run commits. Any mapping adjustments are made before the production migration starts.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup cutover and rollback plan
The full migration runs with FreshSales API rate-limit throttling. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures records created or modified in Service Toolz during the cutover so FreshSales reflects the final state at go-live. We apply owner resolution for any new records. An audit log records every insert and update operation. If reconciliation fails — record counts do not match, required fields are missing, or Deal amounts are incorrect — one-click rollback reverts FreshSales to its pre-migration state. Your team then reviews the issue, and we re-run the corrected migration.
