Overview
Swivl Tech is a field-service-management platform built for small-to-mid-size service businesses. Its data model centers on customers (with nested contacts), work orders (jobs), line items, assets, and invoices. Pricing is flat-rate per active user, which becomes a constraint as teams scale beyond 20–50 technicians. Salesforce Sales Cloud uses a fundamentally different architecture. Accounts replace customers; Contacts sit beneath Accounts via an AccountId lookup. Work orders map to Salesforce Cases — but Swivl's dispatch-board and real-time scheduling have no native Salesforce equivalent; those require Service Cloud or a custom build. Line items map to Opportunity Product objects when invoices represent billable opportunities. Assets migrate as Salesforce Assets or custom objects depending on the target org's industry settings. FlitStack AI sequences the migration so foreign keys resolve correctly: Accounts first, then Contacts, then Cases with their parent AccountIds, then custom objects. We use Salesforce Bulk API for high-volume record loads. Automation logic (job routing rules, scheduling automations) does not migrate — we export Swivl's workflow definitions as a reference document for your Salesforce admin to rebuild in Flow.
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 Salesforce Sales Cloud, 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
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1Swivl Tech customers are company-level records containing company name, address, phone, and billing contact. FlitStack maps these to Salesforce Accounts. Company-level address fields on the Swivl customer record become Account.Address fields. Billing contact details migrate as a related Contact record under the Account.
Swivl Tech
Contact (under Customer)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1Swivl Tech contact sub-objects (first name, last name, email, phone, role) map 1:1 to Salesforce Contact fields. The Contact's AccountId is set by resolving the parent Swivl customer to its migrated Salesforce Account. If no parent customer exists, the Contact attaches to a default 'Unassigned Accounts' record.
Swivl Tech
Work Order
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Case (or custom Work_Order__c)
1:1Swivl Tech work orders are the central service record — they contain job status, scheduled date, assigned technician, line items, and asset linkage. FlitStack maps these to Salesforce Cases in the first instance. For orgs requiring richer schema, we create a custom Work_Order__c object with Status__c, Scheduled_Date__c, Technician__c (lookup to User), and Asset__c fields that mirror Swivl's structure.
Swivl Tech
Work Order Status
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Case Status / Work_Order__c.Status__c
1:1Swivl Tech work order statuses (Scheduled, In Progress, On Hold, Completed, Cancelled) map value-by-value to Salesforce Case Status pick-list values (New, Working, On Hold, Closed, Cancelled). Custom statuses require Salesforce admin to pre-create the pick-list values in the target org before the migration runs.
Swivl Tech
Technician / Assignee
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1Swivl Tech technicians are user records with name, email, phone, and service-territory fields. FlitStack resolves each Swivl technician by email match against existing Salesforce Users. Unmatched technicians are flagged before migration; the team either creates Salesforce users or assigns work orders to a fallback owner. Technician service territories in Swivl map to Salesforce Territories if the org has Territory Management enabled.
Swivl Tech
Line Item (on Work Order)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity Product / Custom Invoice_Line_Item__c
many:1Swivl Tech work orders contain line items (service description, quantity, unit price, total). If invoices represent billable service opportunities, line items merge into Salesforce Opportunity Products linked to the parent Case-as-Opportunity. If invoices are historical financial records, they migrate as a custom Invoice_Line_Item__c object with a lookup to the migrated Account.
Swivl Tech
Asset
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Asset (standard object) or custom Asset__c
1:1Swivl Tech assets (equipment name, serial number, location, linked customer) map to Salesforce's standard Asset object when the target org has Asset tracking enabled. Asset fields include Name, AccountId (linked to migrated customer), SerialNumber, InstallDate, and Status. If Salesforce Asset is disabled, FlitStack creates a custom Asset__c object preserving the full Swivl asset schema.
Swivl Tech
Invoice
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Invoice__c or Opportunity Product bundle
1:1Swivl Tech invoices carry invoice number, issue date, due date, total amount, payment status, and line items. Sales Cloud has no native invoice object. FlitStack migrates invoices as a custom Invoice__c record (Invoice_Number__c, Invoice_Date__c, Due_Date__c, Total_Amount__c, Payment_Status__c) linked to the Account. Line items are migrated as related Invoice_Line_Item__c records.
Swivl Tech
Custom Properties (Customer/Work Order/Asset)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Fields (__c) on Account/Case/Asset
1:1Swivl Tech custom properties on any object map to Salesforce custom fields with the __c suffix. Before migration, FlitStack generates a schema setup plan specifying the field label, data type, pick-list values, and field-level security for each custom property. The Salesforce admin creates these fields before the data load phase begins.
Swivl Tech
Attachments / Photos (on Work Order or Asset)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Salesforce Files / ContentDocument
1:1Swivl Tech attachments and photos on work orders or assets are downloaded and re-uploaded to Salesforce Files, linked to the migrated record (Case or Asset). File size limits apply — Salesforce default is 25MB per file. Inline images in notes are extracted and re-hosted as Salesforce Files with the original ContentDocumentLink preserved.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Extract Swivl Tech data with API-rate-limited pagination
FlitStack AI connects to Swivl Tech via its API using scoped read access. We paginate through all customers, contacts, work orders, assets, and invoices, respecting Swivl's rate limits by pacing requests. The extraction runs in read-only mode — your team continues working in Swivl uninterrupted. We generate a record-count manifest by object and flag any records that return errors during extraction for manual review before mapping begins.
Stand up Salesforce schema: custom objects, fields, and pick-list values
Before data loads, FlitStack delivers a Salesforce schema setup plan specifying every custom object and custom field required — Invoice__c, Work_Order__c, Invoice_Line_Item__c, Source_System_ID__c, Original_Create_Date__c, and others. For every pick-list field (Case Status, Invoice Payment Status, Priority), we list the exact values to pre-create in the target org. Your Salesforce admin creates these before the migration load phase. This step prevents validation-rule failures that would halt data loading midway through.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 100–500 records — spanning customers, contacts, work orders, assets, and invoices — migrates first into a Salesforce sandbox or scratch org. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against destination values, verifying that AccountId lookups resolve correctly, pick-list values map, date fields preserve original timestamps, and custom fields land in the right __c fields. Your team reviews the diff and signs off before the full run commits.
Full migration with delta-pickup cutover window
The full migration runs using Salesforce Bulk API for high-volume record loads. Accounts load first (no dependencies), then Contacts (resolving AccountId), then Cases or Work_Order__c (resolving AccountId and OwnerId), then Assets, then Invoices and Line Items. During the cutover window, FlitStack opens a 24–48 hour delta pickup: any records created or modified in Swivl Tech during the migration run are captured and loaded into Salesforce before final sign-off. An audit log records every operation; one-click rollback is available if reconciliation reveals gaps.
