CRM migration
Field-level mapping, validation, and rollback between Simplicity Enterprise CRM and Freshsales. We move data and schema; workflows are rebuilt natively in Freshsales.

Overview
Moving from Simplicity Enterprise CRM to Freshsales requires careful handling of Simplicity's configurable relational data model, which varies per client instance and may include custom fields, picklist values, loyalty associations, and segment memberships that have no direct Freshsales equivalent. We begin every migration with a schema discovery step that enumerates all active fields for that specific Simplicity environment before building the field mapping spreadsheet. Contacts and Companies map 1:1 to Freshsales Contacts and Accounts; Deals map to Freshsales Deals with explicit stage translation; Activities require parent-record lookup resolution to avoid orphaning call, email, and meeting history. Loyalty program data, social media integration records, and campaign-response associations are not standard Freshsales objects and are archived or translated to tagged activity records. Workflows, campaign automations, and loyalty program rules do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory for your admin to rebuild.
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 Simplicity Enterprise CRM 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.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Contact
Freshsales
Contact
1:1Simplicity Contact records (name, email, phone, address, custom fields) map directly to Freshsales Contact. The email address is used as the dedupe key. We resolve any custom picklist values from Simplicity against Freshsales's picklist configuration during schema setup. If the Simplicity instance uses a loyalty or segment module, associated data links are preserved via custom fields on the Contact record.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Company
Freshsales
Account
1:1Simplicity Company records map to Freshsales Account with a 1:1 field mapping for standard fields (name, domain, address). Company records are created before Contact import so that the Account-Contact lookup relationship is satisfied at the moment of Contact insert. Custom fields on the Company object migrate to Freshsales Account custom fields pre-created during schema setup.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Deal
Freshsales
Deal
1:1Simplicity Deal records map to Freshsales Deal with stage name translation from Simplicity pipeline stages to Freshsales deal stages. Deal value, expected close date, and owner assignment migrate directly. Custom fields on Deals are mapped to Freshsales Deal custom fields. Stage order and status logic require explicit mapping per the customer's specific Simplicity pipeline configuration.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Activity (Emails, Calls, Meetings, Notes)
Freshsales
Task, Event, Note
1:1Simplicity Activities (emails, calls, meetings, notes) are relational records linked to Contact and Company parents. We traverse and export the linked activity table explicitly rather than relying on a flat contact export. Activities are sequenced after Contact and Company imports so that parent-record lookups resolve correctly. Emails map to Freshsales Email records; calls map to Task with TaskSubtype=Call; meetings map to Event; notes map to Note records linked via ContentDocumentLink.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Segment
Freshsales
Tag or Static List
lossySimplicity Segmentation defines which contacts belong to which behavioural or demographic groups. Freshsales does not have a native segment object. We map segment membership to Freshsales Tags on Contact records, allowing sales reps to filter by tag for segment-based outreach. Customers choosing static list behavior use Freshsales Contact Lists as an alternative.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Campaign
Freshsales
Campaign
1:1Simplicity Campaign records (campaign name, type, start/end dates, channel) map to Freshsales Campaign. Campaign-to-contact response associations in Simplicity do not have a direct Freshsales equivalent. We map campaign response records to tagged Task or Note records on the associated Contact to preserve the behavioural signal without leaving response data orphaned.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Loyalty Program
Freshsales
Custom Object or Archive
1:1Simplicity Loyalty module stores program rules, reward tiers, and member point balances as distinct relational records. Freshsales has no native loyalty module. If the destination Freshsales instance includes custom objects, we archive loyalty data as a Loyalty_Program custom object with a lookup to Contact. If no custom object is available, we export loyalty data as a structured JSON attachment or CSV archive linked to the Contact record.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Custom Fields
Freshsales
Custom Fields
lossySimplicity's configurable data structure means nearly every object can have client-defined custom fields with custom picklist values. We map each custom field explicitly during schema discovery, pre-create the corresponding Freshsales custom field (Admin settings > Custom fields), and map picklist values individually. Custom field mapping is the primary scope driver for Simplicity-to-Freshsales migrations and requires per-instance scoping before any data moves.

Migration approach
Schema discovery and scoping
We audit the specific Simplicity CRM instance to enumerate all active objects, custom fields, picklist values, active campaigns, loyalty program records, and segment definitions. Because Simplicity's schema adapts per client, this discovery step is required for every migration and cannot use a generic mapping template. The output is a written migration scope and a field mapping spreadsheet covering every source field to its destination Freshsales equivalent.
Freshsales schema pre-creation
We pre-create all required Freshsales custom fields (Contacts, Accounts, Deals, Leads) in the destination Freshsales instance via Admin settings before any data import begins. Picklist values are added individually to match the Simplicity source. If the customer has a Freshsales custom object available, we provision a Loyalty custom object to receive the loyalty program data. Schema is validated in a Freshsales trial or sandbox environment before production.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Freshsales trial or sandbox environment using production-like data volume. The customer's admin reconciles record counts (Contacts in, Accounts in, Deals in, Activities in), spot-checks 20-40 records against the Simplicity source, and approves the mapping before production migration begins. Any corrections to field mapping, picklist values, or object assignment happen in sandbox, not in production.
Owner reconciliation
We extract every distinct Simplicity Owner referenced on Contact, Company, Deal, and Activity records and match by email against the Freshsales destination User list. Owners without a matching Freshsales User go to a reconciliation queue. The customer's admin provisions any missing Users before record import resumes because OwnerId references are required on most standard objects.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from Simplicity Companies), Contacts (with AccountId resolved), Deals (with OwnerId and stage resolved), Activity history (Tasks, Events, Notes via Freshsales API with batch chunking), Campaigns (with campaign-response data translated to tagged activities), Loyalty data (as custom object records or structured archive). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and automation inventory handoff
We freeze Simplicity writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Freshsales as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of every Simplicity workflow, campaign automation, and loyalty program rule for the customer's admin to rebuild in Freshsales. We do not rebuild automations as code inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement.
