Migrate from Successware to Salesforce Sales Cloud

Successware Customers map directly to Salesforce Accounts. Customer name becomes Account Name; primary contact email and phone migrate as Account phone and website. For customers with multiple Properties, the primary property address becomes the Account shipping address; additional properties map to Service_Location__c records.

Successware Properties have address, building type, and square footage that do not fit standard Salesforce Address fields without a custom object. We create a Service_Location__c custom object with Address__c, Building_Type__c, Square_Footage__c, and a lookup to Account. N:1 from Property to Customer is preserved as AccountId on the custom object.

Successware Relations (decision-makers, billing contacts, on-site contacts) map to Salesforce Contacts. Each Contact gets a primary AccountId from the related Customer. Role__c on Contact captures the relation type (Primary Contact, Billing Contact, Site Manager). Multiple contacts per Customer are standard in Salesforce.

Successware Jobs are the core transactional record with no Salesforce native equivalent. We create a Job__c custom object with fields for Job_Number__c, Job_Status__c (value map), Job_Type__c, Priority__c, Scheduled_Date__c, Technician__c (lookup to Contact), and Service_Location__c (lookup). Job__c links to the Account (Customer) and the Service_Location__c (Property).

Successware job line items (parts, labor, miscellaneous) map to a Job_Line_Item__c custom object linked to Job__c. Each line has Quantity__c, Unit_Price__c, Cost__c, Description__c, and PriceBook_Code__c. Margin tracking from Successware's cost-plus model is preserved as Margin_Pct__c for reporting continuity. The line item structure allows your team to analyze profitability by service type, technician, or time period directly within Salesforce reports.

Successware AR Invoices map to a custom Invoice__c object with Invoice_Number__c, Invoice_Date__c, Total_Amount__c, Balance_Due__c, and Status__c. Paid invoices link to Payment__c records. For companies using Salesforce Orders, unpaid invoices can map to Orders with a pending status — your team chooses based on downstream accounting integration needs.

Successware equipment records (model, serial, install date, warranty expiry) map to Salesforce Asset. Asset Name becomes the equipment description; SerialNumber, InstallDate, Status, and ContactId are direct maps. The AccountId on Asset links equipment to the Customer/Account; the Service_Location__c lookup links it to the specific Property.

Successware Employees who are technicians map to Salesforce Contacts with Role__c = 'Technician'. If the technician needs Salesforce login access, a corresponding Salesforce User is created and the Contact is matched by email. Owner resolution during migration maps the Job__c.Technician__c lookup to the resolved UserId.

Successware office staff (dispatchers, office managers) map to Salesforce Users by email match. Unmatched staff are flagged before migration — your admin either creates the User first or assigns records to a fallback owner. No record lands in Salesforce without a resolved OwnerId.

Successware custom fields on Customers, Properties, and Jobs require custom field creation in Salesforce before migration. Field type is mapped: text → Text(255), number → Number, date → Date, picklist → Picklist. Custom field API names follow Salesforce __c suffix convention. We deliver a field creation checklist before the migration run.

File attachments on Successware Jobs are downloaded and re-uploaded to Salesforce Files linked to the corresponding Job__c record. Inline images in notes are rehosted. Salesforce's 25MB per-file limit applies; files exceeding this are flagged for manual handling. We preserve the original file names and timestamps where possible, and store a reference to the original Successware file path for audit purposes.

Successware dispatch rules, routing logic, and scheduling automations do not migrate. They must be rebuilt in Salesforce Flow or a Field Service Lightning / Jobber integration. We export your Successware dispatch configuration as a reference document for your Salesforce admin or implementation partner.
