Overview

What this migration involves

Solve 360 uses a single-record data model where Contacts, Companies, and work items live on one entity, while Freshsales separates Leads (unqualified prospects) from Contacts attached to Accounts (qualified buyers). This structural difference requires a split decision during scoping: we classify each Solve 360 Contact as either a Freshsales Lead or a Contact-Account pair based on lifecycle stage or status, and we preserve the original Solve 360 record link in a custom field for audit. Support Requests have no direct Freshsales equivalent, so we either create a custom object or map them to Freshsales Cases if Service Cloud is active. Time records from Solve 360 carry over as custom numeric fields because Freshsales lacks a native time-tracking object. Workflow definitions are exported as configuration JSON and handed off to the customer as a rebuild reference; they do not replay inside Freshsales. Solve 360's assisted-only API and the 4-user minimum billing floor are surfaced during discovery so the migration scope accounts for both.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

What's pushing teams away

  • The feature set lags behind HubSpot, Zoho, and Salesforce as teams scale, prompting upgrades to platforms with broader ecosystem integrations and app marketplaces.
  • Mobile apps are limited to web-responsive or basic native wrappers; users expecting a full-featured native mobile experience outgrow the offering and move to better-supported alternatives.
  • Only 17 verified G2 reviews indicate a small and potentially declining user base, which raises concerns about long-term product investment and support responsiveness.
  • Custom field limits and a comparatively basic API mean growing teams with complex data models eventually migrate to CRMs with more flexible schema design.

Choosing

Freshsales logo

Freshsales

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest barrier to entry among major CRMs — the free tier supports up to 3 users and includes core CRM functionality before committing to per-seat pricing.
  • Built-in chat, email, and phone reduce reliance on third-party integrations for basic sales communication and contact management.
  • Freddy AI contact scoring and deal insights are included on Pro plans at a lower price than comparable HubSpot tiers.
  • Kanban pipeline views across Contacts, Accounts, and Deals provide visual deal management without requiring custom configuration.
  • Integration with the broader Freshworks ecosystem (Freshdesk, Freshchat, Freshservice) reduces tool sprawl for teams already using Freshworks.

Object mapping

How solve 360 objects map to Freshsales

Each row shows how a solve 360 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.

solve 360

Contact

maps to

Freshsales

Lead or Contact (split required)

1:many
Fully supported

Solve 360 Contacts use a single record that encompasses person data, company affiliation, and lifecycle status. Freshsales separates unqualified prospects (Leads) from qualified buyers (Contacts attached to Accounts). We apply a split rule during migration scoping based on the customer's Solve 360 lifecycle stage or status field, routing each record to either Freshsales Lead or Freshsales Contact with a linked Account. The original Solve 360 record identifier is preserved in a custom field (solve360_original_id__c) on both Lead and Contact for cross-reference.

solve 360

Company

maps to

Freshsales

Account

1:1
Fully supported

Solve 360 Companies map directly to Freshsales Accounts. Company name becomes Account Name, domain maps to Website, and address fields map to the standard address compound field. We create Accounts before importing Contacts so that the Account Lookup relationship is satisfied at Contact insert time.

solve 360

Task

maps to

Freshsales

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Solve 360 Tasks migrate to Freshsales Tasks with Status, Priority, Due Date, and Owner preserved. Solve 360 task categories (for example, follow-up, support, internal) map to Freshsales Task categories or custom picklist values defined during schema design. Time tracking data attached to tasks carries as custom fields since Freshsales has no native time-tracking object.

solve 360

Follow-up

maps to

Freshsales

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Follow-ups in Solve 360 are time-stamped activity entries tied to a Contact or Company. We migrate them as Freshsales Tasks with the original Follow-up timestamp preserved as Activity Date. The relationship to the parent Contact or Company resolves through the Contact and Account lookups established in earlier migration phases.

solve 360

Support Request

maps to

Freshsales

Case (custom object if no Service Cloud)

lossy
Fully supported

Support Requests track ongoing issues end-to-end against a Contact or Company. Freshsales does not have a native support case management object unless Service Cloud is active. We either map Support Requests to a Freshsales custom object (Support_Case__c) with status, priority, and description fields, or to the native Case object if the destination Freshsales instance includes Service Cloud. The full request history, status transitions, and linked conversations are preserved as structured records.

solve 360

Time Record

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Fields on Parent Object

lossy
Fully supported

Time records in Solve 360 attach to tasks, calls, and meetings with duration, date, billing flag, and notes. Freshsales has no native time-tracking object. We carry time data as custom fields on the parent object (for example, time_spent_minutes__c, time_billable__c on Task), preserving duration, date, and billing status. The customer can use these custom fields for reporting or integrate a dedicated time-tracking tool post-migration.

solve 360

Owner/User

maps to

Freshsales

User

1:1
Fully supported

Solve 360 Users map to Freshsales Users by email address. We export the full user roster during discovery, match against the destination Freshsales user list, and flag any Solve 360 owner assignments where no matching Freshsales User exists. The customer provisions any missing users before the production migration phase begins.

solve 360

Tag/Label

maps to

Freshsales

Tag

1:1
Fully supported

Tags in Solve 360 label Contacts, Companies, Tasks, and other records. Freshsales has a native Tag feature for Contacts, Accounts, and Deals. We export all Solve 360 tag associations, re-apply them as Freshsales Tags on the corresponding records, and deliver a tag inventory so the customer can consolidate or rename tags post-migration if desired.

solve 360

Attachment

maps to

Freshsales

Attachment

1:1
Fully supported

Attachments on Solve 360 Contacts, Companies, Tasks, and Support Requests are downloaded as files and re-uploaded to Freshsales, re-linked to the parent record (Contact, Account, or Task). File name, type, size, and upload date metadata are preserved. We handle the download-upload cycle per record to avoid timeout failures on large files.

solve 360

Workflow Automation

maps to

Freshsales

Workflow (documentation only)

lossy
Fully supported

Solve 360 workflow definitions encode logic specific to its automation engine and cannot be directly replayed in Freshsales. We export workflow configurations as structured metadata JSON and deliver a written inventory that describes each workflow's trigger, conditions, actions, and the equivalent Freshsales workflow builder steps. The customer's Freshsales admin rebuilds these from scratch in the Freshsales workflow editor post-migration.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Single-record to Lead/Contact split requires a scoping decision

    Solve 360 merges person, company affiliation, and lifecycle status into one Contact record with no separate Lead concept. Freshsales has distinct Lead and Contact objects. We design the split rule during discovery: Contacts with a Solve 360 status indicating a qualified or active business relationship become Freshsales Contacts linked to Accounts; all others become Freshsales Leads. The rule is applied as a transform before import. Migrations that skip this step result in records landing in the wrong object, breaking activity timelines and owner assignments.

  • Support Requests and Time Records have no native Freshsales equivalent

    Solve 360's Support Requests and Time Records are distinct object types that do not map one-to-one to any Freshsales standard object. Support Requests require either a custom object (Support_Case__c) or Case from Service Cloud; Time Records require custom numeric fields on the parent object. We define the target schema during discovery, create the custom fields and objects in Freshsales before import, and deliver a written explanation of what data is preserved and in what form. Customers expecting a direct feature parity for support and time tracking need to know this is a manual rebuild or custom-object scope.

  • Solve 360 has no self-serve bulk export

    Solve 360 does not expose a documented bulk-export endpoint in its public developer portal. For most accounts we read data via the REST API using the customer's credentials. For larger datasets, we request an assisted export from Solve's client engineers, which can add 3-5 business days to the project timeline. We surface this during discovery so the migration schedule accounts for the export phase before any data transformation or load begins.

  • Workflow automations and Follow-up sequences do not migrate as code

    Solve 360 workflow definitions and Follow-up sequences are encoded in Solve's proprietary automation engine and cannot be replayed inside Freshsales. We export workflow definitions as structured metadata for reference and deliver a written inventory describing each automation's trigger, conditions, and actions with Freshsales workflow equivalents. The customer rebuilds these in Freshsales's visual workflow builder post-migration. We do not include workflow rebuild in the standard migration scope.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful solve 360 to Freshsales data migration

  1. Discovery and data audit

    We audit the Solve 360 account across objects in scope: Contact count, Company count, Task volume, Follow-up volume, Support Request history, and time record count. We extract the user roster and tag taxonomy, and we document any active workflow definitions. We also confirm the destination Freshsales plan (Sprout free, Growth at $29/user, or higher) based on the customer's custom field and custom object requirements. This audit produces a written migration scope and a Clean CSV data export request submitted to Solve or executed via API.

  2. Schema design and split rule definition

    We design the destination Freshsales schema before any data moves. This includes creating custom fields (solve360_original_id__c on Lead and Contact, time_spent_minutes__c on Task, and any custom fields needed for Support Request mapping), defining the Lead-Contact split rule based on the customer's Solve 360 lifecycle stage values, and configuring Freshsales pipelines and Sales Processes to match the source pipeline stages. If the customer uses Solve CRM Client Manager with 25 GB/user storage, we also assess storage parity against Freshsales' pooled model.

  3. Sandbox validation migration

    We run a full migration into a Freshsales test account using production-like data volume. The customer reconciles record counts (Contacts/Leads in, Accounts in, Tasks in, Support Cases in), spot-checks 20-30 records field by field against the source Solve 360 records, and approves the mapping and schema before production migration begins. Any field mapping corrections, split rule adjustments, or tag renaming happen in this phase.

  4. Owner reconciliation and user provisioning

    We extract every distinct Solve 360 user referenced as an owner on Contacts, Companies, Tasks, Follow-ups, and Support Requests. We match each by email against the destination Freshsales user list. Solve 360 owners without a matching Freshsales User go to a reconciliation queue; the customer provisions any missing users before record migration resumes. OwnerId references must be resolved before bulk import begins because Freshsales Tasks and Cases require a valid owner.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from Solve 360 Companies), Users (validated), Leads and Contacts (with the split rule applied and AccountId resolved for Contacts), Tasks (with parent record lookups resolved), Follow-ups (as Tasks), Support Cases (as custom object or Case), Time Records (as custom fields on parent), Attachments (downloaded and re-uploaded with re-linking), and Tags (applied per record). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next begins.

  6. Cutover, delta sync, and workflow handoff

    We freeze writes to Solve 360 during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records created or modified after the initial export timestamp, then confirm Freshsales is the system of record. We deliver the workflow automation inventory document to the customer with Freshsales workflow builder equivalents. We offer a one-week hypercare window to resolve any reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Solve 360 automations inside Freshsales; that is a separate engagement or internal admin task.
