Migrate your Striven data
All-in-one ERP and business management platform for small businesses, bundling CRM, accounting, inventory, and operations into a single subscription. Built and hosted by Miles IT.
In its favor
Why people choose Striven
The signal that keeps Striven on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Small businesses choose Striven because it consolidates CRM, ERP, and project management into a single subscription rather than managing multiple disconnected tools.
The platform's customer support receives consistent praise across G2 reviews, with 8+ mentions citing helpfulness during implementation and early adoption.
Users repeatedly describe the platform as intuitive and easy to use, appreciating the seamless navigation for day-to-day tasks and processes.
Striven serves small business ERP needs at a lower price point than enterprise competitors like NetSuite or Acumatica, which are primary alternatives cited by reviewers.
The availability of Customer, Vendor, and Career Portals as add-on modules gives small businesses external-facing interfaces without requiring separate software.
Reviewers report that Striven lacks depth in supply chain, inventory, and purchasing management compared to specialized ERP solutions, with one third-party analysis scoring these modules below market average.
Organizations with complex, multi-entity, or international operations find Striven's consolidation and multi-currency capabilities insufficient for their needs.
Some users mention that certain vertical-specific modules — like construction estimating or field service management — feel underdeveloped compared to dedicated tools in those spaces.
The platform's all-in-one breadth means organizations requiring deep specialization in any single area eventually outgrow Striven and migrate to solutions like NetSuite or Odoo.

What gets migrated
Striven object support
Object-by-object support for Striven migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Customers
Fully supportedCustomers are core entities in Striven, importable via CSV/Excel with validation. They link to Sales Orders, Invoices, and Customer Portals. We migrate them 1:1, preserving contact details and associations.
Vendors
Fully supportedVendors map directly and feed into Purchase Orders and Bills. Striven's vendor records support type-level custom fields. We handle the import in the prerequisite phase before financial records.
Employees
Fully supportedEmployee records are required prerequisites for accounting migration. They include time-tracking associations and role-based permissions. We migrate them in the foundational data phase.
Items
Fully supportedItems represent products or services and are required prerequisites before creating Sales Orders or Purchase Orders. We map Items with their pricing, inventory quantities, and custom fields.
Chart of Accounts
Fully supportedThe GL Chart of Accounts is a hard prerequisite for any accounting migration. We sequence its import before open Invoices, Bills, or account balances. Account types and numbers map directly from the source.
Invoices
Mapping requiredOpen Invoices require Customers, Items, and a populated Chart of Accounts to exist first. We migrate invoice headers and line items, but Convenience Fee and Discount configurations tied to payment methods require manual re-setup post-import.
Bills
Mapping requiredOpen Bills follow the same dependency chain as Invoices. We import Bill headers and line items, but tax codes and payment terms that differ between systems may require field-level mapping review.
Sales Orders
Mapping requiredSales Orders link to Customers and Items. We migrate them with status preserved, but order types that drive custom field visibility may require type-level field mapping adjustments.
Purchase Orders
Mapping requiredPurchase Orders require Vendors and Items to exist. We migrate PO headers and line items. Approval workflows attached to POs are not importable and must be rebuilt.
Projects
Mapping requiredProjects exist as a module but their structure (phases, milestones, custom fields) varies. We map project headers and task hierarchies; custom field mapping per project type is required.
Tasks
Mapping requiredTasks under Projects are migrated as child records with assignees preserved. Subtask hierarchies and dependency relationships require explicit mapping work.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredStriven distinguishes global-level and type-level Custom Fields. Global fields appear on all records of a type; type-level fields are scoped to specific entity types. We must audit the custom field schema before migration to set the correct visibility and required-field behavior.
Workflows (Triggers and Actions)
Not in this platformStriven Workflows are trigger/action automation rules tied to internal event listeners and email integrations. They cannot be exported or imported via the API or CSV tools. We do not migrate Workflows; customers must rebuild them in the destination system after cutover.
Assets
Mapping requiredFixed Assets in Striven include depreciation schedules and depreciation methods. We migrate asset records and current book values; the destination system's depreciation engine may differ and requires validation.
Documents
Mapping requiredDocument attachments are linked to entities. We migrate the association metadata but do not migrate the binary files themselves unless the customer's source system exposes a file export. Document metadata is preserved in the mapping file for manual re-attachment.
