Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Solve 360 to Odoo CRM is a model transformation, not a simple record copy. Solve 360 uses a single unified record where Contacts, Companies, Tasks, and Support Requests are views of the same entity with relationship linking handled at the platform level. Odoo CRM uses a standard res.partner-based model where Contacts (people) and Companies (contacts with company_type=company) are separate records linked by a parent relationship. We break the Solve 360 relationship graph at migration time, create Company records first, then link Contact records to their parent Company via partner_id on the res.partner model. Tasks map to Odoo's project.task object, Follow-ups to crm.phonecall or CRM activities, and Support Requests to crm.helpdesk tickets or CRM leads depending on the customer's use case. Solve 360's category Tags migrate as Odoo tags; custom fields migrate as custom res.partner, crm.lead, or project.task fields as appropriate. Solve 360 Workflow automations export as configuration JSON but cannot be replayed in Odoo; we deliver a written automation inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild in Odoo Studio or via Python modules. Odoo's community-driven ecosystem and per-app pricing model attract teams leaving Solve 360 for a platform with broader ERP depth, a larger user base, and more frequent release cycles.

Leaving

solve 360

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

Odoo CRM logo

Odoo CRM

What's pulling them in

  • Teams choose Odoo CRM for its modular architecture — one base install with one-click app additions means they can adopt CRM alone and add accounting, inventory, or sales later as the business grows.
  • Small businesses pick Odoo because the Community edition is free and open-source, with no per-user or contact limits, allowing full evaluation before committing to a paid Enterprise tier.
  • The drag-and-drop Kanban pipeline and AI lead scoring are highlighted across G2 reviews as concrete features that make lead management faster and more visual than spreadsheet-based workflows.
  • Odoo's native integration with email, live chat, SMS, VoIP, and WhatsApp means inbound leads from multiple channels feed into a single pipeline without third-party middleware.
  • Companies in retail, supply chain, and construction value that Odoo's CRM module shares the same PostgreSQL database and UI as its ERP modules, eliminating data silos between sales and operations.

Object mapping

How solve 360 objects map to Odoo CRM

Each row shows how a solve 360 object lands in Odoo CRM, 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

Odoo CRM

res.partner (Contact)

1:1
Fully supported

Solve 360 Contacts map to Odoo res.partner records with partner_type=contact. We extract name, email, phone, mobile, street, city, state, zip, country, and lifecycle properties. Solve 360's relationship linking to a Company record becomes the parent_id field on res.partner. Any user-defined custom fields on Contact migrate as custom res.partner fields of the corresponding type (char, float, date, selection). The migration user must have Odoo admin rights to create custom fields via Settings > Technical > Custom Fields.

solve 360

Company

maps to

Odoo CRM

res.partner (Company)

1:1
Fully supported

Solve 360 Companies map to Odoo res.partner records with company_type=company. The company domain becomes the Website field and is used as a dedupe key during import. Company records are created before Contact records to satisfy the parent_id foreign key. Custom fields on Companies migrate as custom res.partner fields. Address fields (street, city, state, zip, country) migrate directly to Odoo's address format using the public API address fields.

solve 360

Support Requests

maps to

Odoo CRM

crm.helpdesk.ticket or crm.lead

lossy
Fully supported

Solve 360 Support Requests do not have a direct Odoo equivalent without the Helpdesk app. If the customer has the Odoo Helpdesk app installed, Support Requests map to crm.helpdesk.ticket with subject, description, priority, and status migrated. If Helpdesk is not installed, we map to crm.lead with the lead source set to 'Support Request Migration' and the original request description stored in the description field. The customer selects the strategy during scoping based on their Odoo edition and whether they plan to use Helpdesk post-migration.

solve 360

Tasks

maps to

Odoo CRM

project.task

1:1
Fully supported

Solve 360 Tasks map to Odoo project.task. The task name becomes project.task name, status maps to Odoo stage_id (New, In Progress, Done, Canceled), priority maps to priority (0-4, where Solve 360 high=4, normal=3, low=2), and the assignee maps to user_id via email resolution against Odoo Users. Due dates, time tracking (hours logged), and billable flags migrate as custom fields or standard Odoo fields depending on whether the Project app is installed. If Project is not installed, Tasks migrate to CRM activities instead.

solve 360

Follow-ups

maps to

Odoo CRM

crm.phonecall or mail.activity

1:1
Fully supported

Solve 360 Follow-ups are time-stamped activity records tied to a Contact or Company. If Odoo VoIP or CRM phonecall app is installed, they map to crm.phonecall with subject, date, duration, and notes. Otherwise, they map to mail.activity with activity_type_id set to the nearest Odoo standard type (call, meeting, email). The related partner_id is resolved from the Contact or Company mapping. Follow-ups without a linked Contact or Company are flagged in the reconciliation report for the customer to assign.

solve 360

Tags/Labels

maps to

Odoo CRM

crm.tag or project.tags

lossy
Fully supported

Solve 360 category tags are exported as a tag list per record and re-applied as Odoo native tags. Odoo CRM tags live on crm.lead and are stored in crm.tag. Project tags live on project.task. We map tags by object: Contact/Company tags become crm.tag records; Task tags become project.tags. Solve 360's tag-triggered form field behavior (where selecting a tag reveals additional fields) has no Odoo native equivalent and requires a custom Python module or Odoo Studio configuration to approximate.

solve 360

Users/Owners

maps to

Odoo CRM

res.users

1:1
Mapping required

Solve 360 Users are both system actors and assignment targets. We extract the user list and map owner_id references to res.users via email match. Any Solve 360 Owner without a matching Odoo User is held in a reconciliation queue; the customer provisions the Odoo User before record import resumes. Active/inactive status maps from Solve 360 to the Odoo active flag.

solve 360

Custom Fields

maps to

Odoo CRM

Custom res.partner, crm.lead, or project.task fields

lossy
Mapping required

Solve 360 supports user-defined custom fields on Contacts, Companies, Tasks, Follow-ups, and Support Requests with types including text, number, date, and selection. We export field definitions (name, type, selection options) and create matching custom fields in Odoo via Settings > Technical > Custom Fields before data import. Selection fields map to Odoo selection fields with matching key-value pairs. Date fields map to Odoo date fields. Number fields map to Odoo float or integer depending on the field content.

solve 360

Pipeline Stages

maps to

Odoo CRM

crm.stage

lossy
Mapping required

Solve 360 pipeline stages map to crm.stage records within the customer's Odoo Sales pipeline. Stage names, sequence order, and probability percentages migrate to name, sequence, and probability on crm.stage. The customer configures the pipeline (sales team assignment, team stages) in Odoo before migration if they require multiple pipelines; otherwise all deals migrate into the default Sales pipeline.

solve 360

Attachments

maps to

Odoo CRM

ir.attachment

1:1
Mapping required

Attachments on Contacts, Companies, Tasks, and Support Requests are downloaded as files and re-uploaded to Odoo via the ir.attachment API. Each attachment is linked to its parent record (res.partner, project.task, crm.helpdesk.ticket) via res_model and res_id. File metadata (name, mimetype, create_date) is preserved. Attachments exceeding 25 MB are flagged for the customer to store separately if Odoo file storage limits are a concern.

solve 360

Workflow Automations

maps to

Odoo CRM

No direct migration

lossy
Mapping required

Solve 360 Workflow definitions encode logic specific to its automation engine (task sequences, intelligent scheduling, assignee notifications). We export all active workflow definitions as structured JSON including trigger conditions, step sequences, delays, and action types. This JSON is delivered as a migration artifact. Workflows cannot be replayed in Odoo because Odoo Automated Actions and Studio workflows use a different trigger and action model. The customer's Odoo admin rebuilds workflows using Odoo Studio or server actions; we provide the JSON as a reference specification.

solve 360

Custom Record Type (third record type)

maps to

Odoo CRM

crm.lead or custom project model

lossy
Fully supported

Solve 360 allows a third custom record type (Work Orders, Cases, Sites, Properties, Projects) with its own fields and tags. Odoo has no native equivalent without custom module development. We map this record type to crm.lead with a custom type field (x_solve_type) to preserve the original record type designation, or to project.project if the custom type is project-oriented. The customer selects the target during scoping. Custom fields specific to the third record type migrate as custom fields on the target model.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Solve CRM vs Client Manager determines storage model

    Norada ships two products under the Solve 360 brand with different storage allocations: Solve CRM uses 150 GB pooled storage while Solve Client Manager uses 25 GB per user. Customers migrating from Client Manager to Odoo CRM must reconcile the per-user storage cap because Odoo Standard and Custom plans have pooled storage limits that differ from the 25 GB/user model. We audit the customer's current storage usage during discovery and flag any migration where historical attachment volume exceeds the target Odoo plan's storage allocation. Large file attachments may need to be archived off-platform or stored in an external document management system before migration.

  • Solve 360's category tag behavior has no Odoo native equivalent

    Solve 360's Category Tags include a behavior where selecting a tag automatically reveals additional form fields specific to that tag. This tag-field association is a Solve 360-specific feature with no Odoo native equivalent. We export the tag-field associations as metadata and document them as a configuration specification. Rebuilding this behavior in Odoo requires either a custom Python module (defining ir.rule or onchange methods tied to tag selection) or accepting that tag selection in Odoo will not trigger field visibility changes. We flag this as a gap during scoping and document the workaround options.

  • No self-serve bulk export from Solve 360

    Solve 360 does not expose a documented bulk-export endpoint in its public developer portal. For migrations, we read data via the REST API using the customer's credentials, which requires coordination with Solve's client engineers for large dataset access. This can add 3-5 business days to the project timeline compared to platforms with self-serve API access. We request API credentials during the discovery phase and begin data extraction immediately so that the assisted-access delay does not block the project schedule. Customers should confirm API access is available before signing a migration contract.

  • Custom record type field mapping requires Odoo module work

    Solve 360's custom third record type (e.g., Work Orders, Cases, Sites) carries fields and tags unique to that type. Odoo does not have a native equivalent concept; custom record types require either mapping to crm.lead with a type discriminator field or a custom Odoo Python module that defines the third model. If the customer has more than three custom field groups on their third record type, we recommend scoping a post-migration Odoo custom module engagement to properly model the data rather than forcing it into crm.lead. We include the third record type field export in the migration artifact regardless of which strategy is chosen.

  • Workflow automations do not migrate as functional code

    Solve 360 Workflow definitions (automated task sequences, intelligent scheduling, assignee notifications) encode logic specific to Solve's automation engine. We export workflow definitions as structured JSON configuration for reference, but they cannot be replayed in Odoo. The Odoo Automated Actions model uses different triggers (on_create, on_write, on_cron, on_button) and different action types from Solve 360's workflow steps. We advise customers to treat automation migration as a redesign exercise, allocate separate scoping time for it, and expect the rebuild to take 1-3 weeks depending on workflow complexity. We do not include workflow rebuild in the standard migration scope.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful solve 360 to Odoo CRM data migration

  1. Discovery and credential procurement

    We audit the source Solve 360 portal across product variant (CRM vs Client Manager), user count, record volumes (Contacts, Companies, Tasks, Follow-ups, Support Requests), custom field definitions, pipeline stages, and active category tags. We also confirm whether a custom third record type is in use and whether the customer uses Solve Client Manager, Solve CRM, or the bundle. We request API credentials from Solve's client engineers during this phase because access is assisted rather than self-serve. The discovery output is a written migration scope, object inventory, and a note flagging any customer on Client Manager with storage usage above Odoo's target plan limit.

  2. Dialect selection and custom field schema creation

    We select the Odoo migration strategy for Support Requests (crm.helpdesk.ticket vs crm.lead) and for the third custom record type (crm.lead with type discriminator vs custom Python model). We create custom fields in Odoo via Settings > Technical > Custom Fields for all user-defined Solve 360 fields, matching field types and selection option values. We configure crm.tag entries for all Solve 360 category tags and crm.stage entries for all pipeline stages with sequence and probability. CRM team members and pipeline assignments are configured in Odoo before any data import begins.

  3. Parent record creation and relationship mapping

    We extract all Solve 360 Companies and create res.partner records with company_type=company first, using the domain as the dedupe key. We then extract Contacts, linking each to its parent Company via parent_id on res.partner using the company relationship data from Solve 360's relationship linking. Any Contacts without a linked Company are created as standalone contacts. Owner assignments are resolved by matching Solve 360 owner email to Odoo res.users login. Owners without a match enter the reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision.

  4. Task, Follow-up, and Support Request migration

    We migrate Tasks to project.task (or CRM activities if the Project app is not installed) with status, priority, due date, user_id, and time tracking preserved. Follow-ups migrate as crm.phonecall or mail.activity records linked to the Contact or Company via partner_id resolution. Support Requests migrate using the customer-selected strategy (helpdesk ticket or crm.lead) with status, description, priority, and conversation history preserved as message records or ticket descriptions. All three object types resolve parent_id and user_id via the lookup tables created in earlier steps.

  5. Attachment migration and tag re-association

    We download all file attachments from Solve 360 (Contacts, Companies, Tasks, Support Requests), re-upload them to Odoo via ir.attachment with res_model and res_id pointing to the correct parent record, and preserve create_date and filename metadata. After attachment re-association, we apply the exported category tag list to each record, creating crm.tag entries for CRM objects and project.tags for task objects. We run a reconciliation report comparing record counts by object and tag count per object against the source export.

  6. Cutover, validation, and automation handoff

    We freeze writes in Solve 360 during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, and enable Odoo CRM as the system of record. We deliver the Workflow JSON inventory document to the customer's admin with a mapping table identifying the Odoo Studio or server action equivalent for each Solve 360 workflow step. We support a five-business-day hypercare window to resolve data quality issues raised by the customer's team. Workflow rebuild, Odoo custom module development for the third record type, and training are outside the standard migration scope and are quoted separately.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

Source

Strengths

  • Per-user flat pricing with no usage-based surprises or hidden overage charges
  • Google Calendar and Gmail integration centralizes scheduling and communication context directly in the CRM record
  • Single-record data model eliminates duplicates by design, keeping people, companies, and work linked on one entity
  • Workflow automation handles multi-step task sequences with intelligent scheduling and assignment
  • Self-organizing dashboard surfaces team priorities in real time without manual status updates

Weaknesses

  • Only 17 verified G2 reviews suggests a small, niche user base with limited community resources and peer support
  • Feature set is narrower than HubSpot, Zoho, or Salesforce, limiting growth potential for teams that need advanced automation or marketplace integrations
  • API documentation is not prominently exposed; bulk data export may require assisted access rather than self-serve developer tooling
  • Minimum 4-user requirement locks out solo users and very small teams from the base plan
  • Native mobile apps are limited compared to competitors with full-featured iOS and Android clients

Strengths

  • Modular open-source architecture lets teams start with CRM and add ERP apps as needs grow, all sharing one PostgreSQL database.
  • Free Community edition with no contact limits and full source code access means zero licensing cost for evaluation and small deployments.
  • Drag-and-drop Kanban pipeline with AI lead scoring gives a visual, prioritized view of the sales funnel without requiring custom configuration.
  • Native integrations with email, live chat, SMS, VoIP, WhatsApp, and social media feed all inbound leads into a single unified inbox.
  • Active Odoo Community Association (OCA) maintains dozens of community-maintained modules on GitHub for extended functionality.

Weaknesses

  • Gmail and email integration reliability is a recurring complaint — threads drop and conversations scatter across inboxes, disrupting sales team workflows.
  • Enterprise edition pricing stacks quickly: multiple apps at per-user rates ($25–$50/user/month) plus Odoo.sh hosting costs more than many SMBs anticipate.
  • Setup and configuration complexity increases significantly once custom fields, automation rules, and multiple installed modules are in play.
  • Odoo.sh trial databases run on a version (e.g., 18.3) that is not directly migratable to Odoo.sh, blocking the assisted migration path Odoo advertises.
  • Version upgrades between major Odoo releases (e.g., 17→18) frequently break custom module view definitions and XPath expressions, requiring manual remediation.

Most migrations land between three and five weeks for accounts under 15,000 Contacts and 3,000 Companies with no custom third record type and clean custom field definitions. Migrations with a custom record type (Work Orders, Cases, Sites), more than 20 custom fields, large task histories (over 100,000 records), or Support Request histories requiring helpdesk module configuration extend to eight to twelve weeks. The primary variable is schema design: Odoo requires explicit parent-company relationship configuration that Solve 360 handles automatically, and the custom record type strategy requires customer sign-off before migration begins.
