Overview
SortScape organizes field-service work around Clients, Jobs, and Schedule Visits within a garden-maintenance-specific data model. Monday CRM replaces that vertical structure with a flat entity model (People, Organizations, Deals) and a board-based Item architecture where every record lives on a board with customizable columns. The migration challenge is twofold: SortScape has no documented public API — data exits via CSV export only — so FlitStack must parse and restructure nested CSV rows into Monday's entity types. Second, SortScape job-run sequences and route-optimization data have no native Monday CRM equivalent and must be surfaced as custom columns or board Groups so your team can rebuild scheduling logic post-migration. We preserve all client contact fields, job properties, visit timestamps, and pricing tiers. Automations, route sequences, and Xero integration rules must be rebuilt in Monday's automation engine using our export-as-reference package. During the preprocessing phase, FlitStack normalizes multi-file CSV exports, deduplicates client records, and resolves cross-references between job runs and client IDs. Custom columns in Monday CRM are provisioned to match SortScape property types before import, ensuring that no data is truncated or mis‑typed. After the migration, FlitStack provides a reference package with automation recipes and a rollback guide for ongoing tuning.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a SortScape object lands in monday CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
SortScape
Client
monday CRM
People
1:1SortScape clients map directly to Monday CRM People entities. Contact name, email, phone, and address fields transfer as standard People fields. The primary company link in SortScape becomes a link to a Monday CRM Organization record. Additional attributes such as client notes and preferred contact times are transferred to build a complete profile in Monday CRM, preserving all available data for immediate use.
SortScape
Client Company Name
monday CRM
Organizations
1:1SortScape stores the business name on the client record. This extracts into a Monday CRM Organization with the client name as the Organization Name, preserving billing address and notes as Organization fields. If multiple contacts share the same company, each contact's primary organization link points to this shared Organization, ensuring consistent reporting across team members.
SortScape
Job
monday CRM
Deal
1:1Each SortScape Job becomes a Monday CRM Deal. Job name, property address, quoted price, and status map to Deal fields. Deal value pulls from the job's estimated or invoiced amount field in SortScape. Any custom job attributes, such as equipment notes or site access details, are also transferred as custom Deal columns, ensuring field crews have all relevant information on the Monday CRM Item.
SortScape
Job Run (Scheduled Visit)
monday CRM
Item (on Job Board)
1:1SortScape job runs with specific dates become Items on a Monday CRM Job Board. The board Groups by client or pipeline stage. Visit date, assigned team member, and visit status (scheduled, completed, cancelled) map to Item columns. If a job run includes a special instruction or equipment requirement, these are stored in a custom column on the Item for crew reference.
SortScape
Schedule (Visit Sequence)
monday CRM
Group By on Job Board
1:1SortScape visit sequences within a schedule day have no Monday CRM equivalent. We map them as Items within a board Group ordered by scheduled time. Route-optimization data is preserved as a custom column (Optimized_Order) for reference during rebuild. The group ordering reflects the original route order, allowing supervisors to quickly verify whether the optimized sequence was followed during field execution.
SortScape
Client Custom Properties
monday CRM
Custom Columns (People)
1:1SortScape allows custom properties per client (e.g., lawn size, grass type, preferred visit time). Each property becomes a custom column on the Monday CRM People board. We create the column type matching the data (text, number, date, dropdown) before import.
SortScape
Job Custom Properties
monday CRM
Custom Columns (Deal)
1:1SortScape stores per-job properties such as site access notes, dog on property, or special instructions. These map to custom columns on the Monday CRM Deal board so field crews see them on the Item record in mobile view. This ensures that critical site information is accessible to crew members without requiring them to reference separate documents.
SortScape
Invoice (Xero link)
monday CRM
Deal Status / Custom Column
1:1SortScape invoices live in Xero via native integration. Monday CRM has no accounting module. We preserve the Xero invoice ID as a custom column on the Deal for reference. Xero reconnection to Monday CRM must be built via Zapier or Make after migration.
SortScape
Team Member / Staff
monday CRM
Person Column / Assignee
1:1SortScape team members map to Monday CRM board assignees. When a job run is assigned to a staff member in SortScape, that assignment transfers to the Person column on the Monday CRM Item so the same crew is responsible post-migration.
SortScape
Attachment / Photo
monday CRM
File Column
1:1SortScape photos attached to jobs or clients re-upload into Monday CRM File columns. Monday's file storage limits apply (25MB per file on Standard, 100GB storage on Pro). We flag oversized files before migration for manual handling. Any photo that exceeds the limit is noted in the migration report, and the client is advised to compress or host it externally before linking back into Monday CRM.

Migration approach
Extract SortScape data via CSV export
FlitStack provides a step‑by‑step walkthrough for your SortScape administrator to generate the CSV files from the desktop UI, covering clients, jobs, and schedule/visit data. If the account uses multiple export files—perhaps monthly or per‑route archives—we first consolidate them into a single, well‑structured dataset. This pre‑processing ensures that cross‑file references (client IDs embedded in job rows) are resolved before any field mapping starts, reducing downstream errors.
Normalize CSV data and resolve cross-references
SortScape exports nest client IDs within job rows but store client details in a separate file. FlitStack's pre-processor joins these files by client ID, resolves orphaned records (jobs with no matching client), and flags duplicate client entries. We also parse custom property columns, which SortScape exports as dynamic columns that differ per account — this normalization step is specific to SortScape and is not part of standard CRM-to-CRM migrations.
Create Monday CRM schema: boards, columns, and entities
Before any data lands, FlitStack creates the Monday CRM People board, Organizations board, and a Jobs Deals board. Custom columns are created to match SortScape custom properties by data type (text, number, date, dropdown). Board Groups are configured to match SortScape's schedule grouping logic (by client, by day, or by team member) so the migrated Items land in an intuitive structure from day one.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative sample of 100–500 records migrates first — spanning clients, jobs, job runs, and records with custom properties. FlitStack generates a field-level diff report comparing SortScape source values against Monday CRM destination values so you can verify client name formatting, job pricing, and visit status mapping before the full run commits. The sample includes records covering all custom field types—text, numeric, dropdown—to verify column creation and data type handling. This stage also confirms board Groups, column visibility, and linking are correctly set before the full dataset loads.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full dataset loads into Monday CRM. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window captures any new jobs or client updates created in SortScape during the cutover. FlitStack's audit log records every record written. If reconciliation finds missing or duplicate records, one-click rollback reverts the Monday CRM state to the pre-migration snapshot so you can re-run without data corruption. The load respects Monday CRM API rate limits, flagging oversized files for manual handling. After the delta window, a final validation report summarizes record counts, error rates, and any outstanding items before go‑live.
