Overview
STEL Order is a field service management platform built for home-service SMBs — it combines CRM, scheduling, work orders, invoicing, and equipment tracking in one subscription starting at $28 per user per month. Monday CRM is a visual board-based CRM targeting sales teams and SMBs, priced at $12–$28 per seat per month, with pipelines for deals and optional invoice and product modules. The migration carries contacts, companies, deals, work orders, products, quotes, invoices, and custom fields from STEL Order into Monday CRM boards and columns. The primary structural challenge is mapping STEL Order's flat work-order hierarchy — which includes client, technician, job type, address, equipment, signature, and photo fields — into Monday's board-and-item architecture. Monday CRM has no native work-order or equipment object; FlitStack designs a custom Work Orders board and Assets board before any data moves. STEL Order has no documented public API; FlitStack extracts via STEL Order's export tools and direct database access. Workflows, automations, and third-party integrations in STEL Order do not migrate and must be rebuilt in Monday's automation framework. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window captures in-flight work orders during cutover. Sample migration with field-level diff runs first; FlitStack delivers an audit log and one-click rollback if reconciliation fails.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a STEL Order 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.
STEL Order
Client
monday CRM
Contacts board
1:1STEL Order clients (people) map to Monday CRM Contacts board items. Phone, email, job title, address, and tags map to native or custom columns. The client's associated STEL Order company is resolved first and linked via a people or text column.
STEL Order
Company / Business
monday CRM
Contacts board (company field)
1:1STEL Order business entities map as company name stored in a custom text column on the Contacts board. Industry, employee count, and annual revenue are stored as custom columns. Monday CRM does not have a separate Companies board in the base CRM plan.
STEL Order
Work Order
monday CRM
Work Orders board (custom)
1:1STEL Order work orders become Monday items in a dedicated Work Orders board. Columns include work order number, client (people link), technician (people link), status, job type, scheduled date, address, deal link, and description. Status maps value-by-value to Monday status column options.
STEL Order
Work Note / Job File
monday CRM
Work Orders board (files column)
1:1STEL Order work notes with photos, signatures, and attached documents become files attached to Work Orders items in Monday. Client signatures are preserved as image files; inline photos upload to Monday's file column on the same Work Order item. Additionally, any additional comments or annotations originally attached to the work note are stored in a text column to keep context alongside the files.
STEL Order
Equipment / Asset
monday CRM
Assets board (custom)
1:1Monday CRM has no native equipment object. STEL Order equipment linked to clients — with serial number, warranty expiry, and maintenance history — migrates to a custom Assets board. A client link column connects each asset to the corresponding Contact item.
STEL Order
Product / Catalog Item
monday CRM
Products board
1:1STEL Order products and service catalog items map to Monday Products board items. Name, SKU, description, category, unit price, and cost map directly. Stock quantity and preferred supplier become custom columns since Monday Products lacks native inventory tracking. These custom columns also enable filtering by supplier and stock status, supporting basic inventory oversight within Monday.
STEL Order
Quote / Estimate
monday CRM
Deals board (Quotes pipeline)
1:1STEL Order quotes map to Monday Deals items in a dedicated Quotes pipeline. Custom columns capture the STEL Order quote number, quote validity end date, and terms. Deal stage represents quote status (Draft, Sent, Accepted, Rejected). The quote amount is stored in the standard Amount column, and a custom date column tracks the expiration deadline for each quote.
STEL Order
Order
monday CRM
Orders board (custom)
1:1STEL Order sales orders become items in a custom Orders board. Columns include order number, client, associated quote or work order, order date, status, and amount. A link to the related Deals item preserves the quote-to-order relationship. The order status column uses the same status options as the Work Orders board, ensuring consistency across the workflow from quote to fulfillment.
STEL Order
Invoice
monday CRM
Invoices board (custom) or Monday Invoice module
1:1STEL Order invoices map to Monday's optional Invoice module if enabled, or to a custom Invoices board. Fields include invoice number, date, due date, client, status (Paid, Unpaid, Overdue), subtotal, tax, total, and associated order or work order link. If the Invoice module is not available, the custom board replicates all fields, and a link column ties each invoice to its originating order for audit trails.
STEL Order
Expense / Supplier
monday CRM
Expenses board (custom)
1:1STEL Order expense records and supplier information map to a custom Expenses board. Supplier name, expense category, amount, date, and related work order are stored as columns. Monday has no native expense or AP module. This board also includes a payment status column to indicate whether the expense has been reimbursed, and a notes column for additional context.
STEL Order
Schedule / Technician Assignment
monday CRM
Work Orders board (date + people columns)
1:1STEL Order scheduling and technician assignments are embedded in the Work Order record. The scheduled date and assigned technician migrate as columns on the Work Orders board. Monday's Timeline column can combine date range and technician assignment on the same Work Order item.
STEL Order
Custom Field (any STEL Order object)
monday CRM
Custom column on destination board
1:1Any STEL Order custom field on clients, work orders, products, or orders becomes a custom column in Monday on the corresponding board. Column type is chosen by FlitStack based on the source field's data type (text, number, date, dropdown). For multi-select fields, FlitStack converts the values into Monday's tag format, preserving each selected option as a separate tag.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery, data extraction, and Monday schema design
FlitStack audits your STEL Order account — object count, field inventory, custom field types, work order and equipment volumes, and integration list. We extract data via STEL Order's export tools and direct database access where available. In parallel, we design the Monday CRM schema: the Work Orders board, Assets board, Orders board, Invoices board, and any required custom columns. We deliver a board-and-column setup plan so your Monday admin can pre-create the structure before data lands.
Resolve users, contacts, and cross-board relationships
Monday users are matched against STEL Order owner and technician records by email. Unmatched technicians are flagged before migration — your team either invites them to Monday first or assigns their work orders to a fallback owner. Cross-board relationships (work orders to contacts, orders to deals, assets to contacts) are assigned IDs before migration runs so linking columns resolve on first pass rather than requiring a second pass to backfill.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice migrates first — typically 100–500 records spanning contacts, work orders, products, and invoices. We generate a field-level diff between STEL Order source values and Monday destination values so you can verify work order status mapping, equipment serial number preservation, deal stage mapping, and technician assignment before the full run commits. Monday API rate limit behaviour is also profiled during this step to calibrate batch sizing for the full migration.
Execute full migration with batched API runs and delta pickup
The full migration runs against Monday CRM in batches sized to respect your plan's daily call limit. Work order records, equipment records, products, orders, and invoices load in dependency order — contacts first, then deals and work orders — so linking columns resolve correctly. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any work orders created or modified in STEL Order during the cutover so Monday reflects the final operational state at go-live.
Validation, audit log, and rollback
FlitStack runs a post-migration validation against STEL Order record counts, field values, and cross-board relationship integrity. We deliver a full audit log of every Monday API operation and a one-click rollback script if reconciliation reveals data discrepancies beyond an agreed threshold. Your Monday admin receives a migration summary document and the JSON export of STEL Order workflow definitions for the Monday Automation Center rebuild.
