Overview
Swivl Tech is a field service management platform built around Jobs, Customers, Service Locations, Invoices, and Technicians — with scheduling, dispatch, and GPS tracking baked into its workflow. HubSpot CRM centers on Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Tickets with a service-hub tier designed for help desk and customer service teams. The data models diverge at their foundations: Swivl structures work around Jobs with a one-to-many relationship to service locations, while HubSpot structures around Deals with associations to Companies and Contacts. FlitStack AI extracts Swivl data via its export and API interfaces, maps Jobs to HubSpot Deals with custom properties for service-type, job-status, and technician assignment, maps Customers to Contacts, maps Service Locations to Companies (or Company properties), and maps Invoices to custom fields on Deals. HubSpot has no native invoice object, so invoice data becomes a structured set of custom properties. Scheduling and appointment data migrate as custom datetime properties on the Deal so report filters can still surface upcoming scheduled jobs. Field service automations — scheduling rules, dispatch triggers, route optimization logic — do not migrate. These require HubSpot workflows or a third-party scheduling integration to be rebuilt. The migration uses HubSpot's native import and API pathways, runs a test migration first with field-level diff, and captures in-flight Swivl changes during a 48-hour delta window before finalizing the cutover.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Swivl Tech object lands in HubSpot, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Swivl Tech
Customer
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Swivl Customer maps directly to HubSpot Contact. First name, last name, email, phone, and address fields migrate as HubSpot native contact properties. Swivl customer type (residential/commercial) maps as a custom pick-list property on Contact. The customer type classification has no HubSpot native equivalent, so it requires a custom property to be created before migration.
Swivl Tech
Service Location
HubSpot
Company
1:1Swivl Service Location maps to HubSpot Company — name, address, and site-type properties migrate as native Company fields. Swivl N-to-N contact-to-location associations require a custom association property or junction approach since HubSpot supports one primary Company per Contact by default. The N-to-N relationship must be reconstructed using secondary association properties.
Swivl Tech
Job / Work Order
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Swivl Job maps to HubSpot Deal. Service type, job status, job description, and technician assignment become custom properties on the Deal. The Swivl Job amount maps to Deal Amount. Scheduling datetime and appointment date migrate as custom datetime properties on the Deal record.
Swivl Tech
Job Status
HubSpot
Deal Stage
1:1Swivl job status values (Scheduled, In Progress, Completed, Cancelled) map value-by-value to HubSpot Deal Stage pick-list values. Each Swivl status term must have a corresponding HubSpot pipeline stage name created or renamed before migration to ensure accurate status translation across the system.
Swivl Tech
Technician
HubSpot
HubSpot User (Owner)
1:1Swivl technician records resolve to HubSpot Users by email match. Each technician assigned to a Swivl job becomes the Deal Owner in HubSpot. Unmatched technicians are flagged before migration so the team can invite them to HubSpot or assign a fallback owner.
Swivl Tech
Invoice
HubSpot
Custom properties on Deal
1:1Swivl Invoice has no HubSpot native equivalent. Invoice number, invoice date, due date, payment status, and total amount migrate as custom properties on the associated Deal. Invoice line items require a custom text field or a separate custom object depending on complexity.
Swivl Tech
Estimate / Quote
HubSpot
Custom properties on Deal
1:1Swivl estimates migrate as a custom property on the HubSpot Deal, since HubSpot Quotes are available only on Enterprise-tier plans and require a connected product catalog to function properly. Estimate status (Pending, Accepted, Rejected) becomes a custom pick-list property on the Deal for status tracking.
Swivl Tech
Asset / Equipment
HubSpot
Custom Object or Company properties
1:1Swivl equipment records associated with a service location become either a HubSpot custom object with a lookup to Company, or custom text fields on the Company record storing asset name, model number, and asset type — the approach depends on the volume of equipment records per location.
Swivl Tech
Customer Note
HubSpot
Engagement (Note)
1:1Swivl customer notes migrate as HubSpot engagements of type Note, attached to the corresponding Contact record. Original timestamps and note authors are preserved throughout the migration. Rich-text formatting is retained where HubSpot's note format allows, maintaining the original note content and context for future reference.
Swivl Tech
Attachment / File
HubSpot
HubSpot Files
1:1Swivl file attachments on jobs, customers, or locations are downloaded and re-uploaded to HubSpot Files, then linked to the corresponding Contact, Company, or Deal record via file associations. HubSpot's 25MB per-file upload limit and storage quotas apply and are checked before migration to prevent oversized file rejections.
Swivl Tech
Swivl Custom Fields
HubSpot
HubSpot Custom Properties
1:1Any custom fields created in Swivl Tech require pre-creation as HubSpot custom properties before migration runs. Field type matching (text, number, date, pick-list) must be validated against HubSpot's supported property types to ensure proper data conversion. Custom field count directly impacts migration complexity and pricing estimates.

Migration approach
Audit Swivl Tech data model and deliver HubSpot property creation plan
We connect to Swivl Tech via export or API and catalog every standard and custom field across Customer, Service Location, Job, Invoice, and Asset objects. We identify pick-list values, date formats, relationship cardinalities (especially N-to-N contact-to-location links), and custom field types. From this audit we produce a HubSpot property creation plan — every Swivl field that needs a custom HubSpot property is listed with the property name, type, and pick-list options, ready for your HubSpot admin to create before migration data arrives.
Clean and deduplicate Swivl records before mapping
Field service data accumulated in Swivl often contains duplicate customer records, outdated service locations, and jobs with missing technician assignments. We run a deduplication pass on Customer and Service Location records, flag records with missing required fields for HubSpot (email on Contact, name on Company), and resolve circular or orphaned relationships. Data is cleaned in Swivl before extraction so the migration loads clean data into HubSpot rather than carrying forward inconsistencies.
Sequence the migration: Service Locations → Customers → Jobs → Invoices
HubSpot requires Companies to exist before Contacts can associate to them via the primaryCompanyId property, and Deals to exist before custom field data can link back to a parent record. We run the migration in the correct dependency order: Service Locations → Companies first, then Customers → Contacts (with company association resolved), then Jobs → Deals with custom property mapping, then Invoices as custom fields on the associated Deals. This sequencing ensures foreign key relationships resolve correctly in HubSpot without orphaned records.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff before the full run
A representative slice of 100–500 Swivl records — spanning customers, service locations, jobs, and invoices — migrates to your HubSpot test portal first. We generate a field-level diff comparing the source Swivl values against the destination HubSpot fields so you can verify service_type mapping, job-status value mapping, technician-to-owner resolution, and invoice field placement before the full run commits. Any mapping errors are corrected and the sample re-run until the diff is clean.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and audit log
The full Swivl dataset migrates to your production HubSpot portal. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any Swivl records created or modified during the cutover — jobs completed, new customers added, invoice statuses updated — so HubSpot reflects Swivl's final state at go-live. Every migration operation is logged to an audit trail. If reconciliation reveals missing or misaligned records, one-click rollback reverts the HubSpot data to the pre-migration state while your team continues working in Swivl.
