Overview
Teleos is a veterinary practice-management platform organized around patients, clients, appointments, and clinical notes. Salesforce Sales Cloud is a general-purpose CRM organized around Accounts, Contacts, Leads, and Opportunities — with no native concept of patient records, clinical notes, or treatment plans. The migration therefore requires two parallel efforts: translating Teleos's standard objects into Salesforce equivalents (client → Account, patient → Contact with a custom Patient__c flag), and rebuilding Teleos's clinical data model as Salesforce custom objects (Treatment_Plan__c, Prescription__c, Appointment__c, Invoice__c). We extract Teleos data via its export API, validate field-level completeness, map to Salesforce's AccountId/Contact lookups, create all required __c fields in Salesforce before data arrives, and run a sample migration with field-level diff before committing the full load. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window captures any Teleos records modified during cutover. Workflows, automations, and reminder sequences in Teleos do not migrate — we export definitions as a rebuild reference for Salesforce 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 Teleos 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.
Teleos
Client
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1Teleos client (the pet owner) maps directly to Salesforce Account. The client's billing address, contact email, and phone number migrate to the corresponding Account fields. If Teleos stores multiple contacts per client such as a spouse or emergency contact, these secondary contacts are migrated as Account Contact Relations to preserve all contact information under the same Account.
Teleos
Client Contact Email
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1The primary contact for each Teleos client becomes a Salesforce Contact record linked via AccountId. The Contact's email, phone, and mailing address populate from Teleos client fields. Additional client family members or emergency contacts are migrated as additional Contact records under the same Account parent.
Teleos
Patient
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1Teleos patients (pets) map to Salesforce Contacts with a custom Pet__c boolean flag set to true and Patient_Type__c set to 'Animal'. The Contact's AccountId links to the owning Client Account. Species, breed, date of birth, weight, and microchip ID become custom fields on the Contact record. Original Teleos patient ID is stored in Source_System_ID__c for traceability.
Teleos
Appointment
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Event
1:1Teleos appointments become Salesforce Events. StartTime and EndTime map directly; Subject is constructed from appointment type concatenated with patient name. The Event's WhatId links to the patient Contact record; WhoId links to the client Contact. Staff owner maps to Salesforce User via email resolution. If the staff member has no Salesforce User, the Event is assigned to a fallback owner.
Teleos
Treatment_Plan
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Object: Treatment_Plan__c
1:1Teleos treatment plans have no Salesforce equivalent and become a custom object named Treatment_Plan__c. A lookup field (Patient__c) links each plan to the patient Contact record. Plan name, status (Active, Completed, Cancelled), procedure codes, estimated cost, and created date migrate as custom fields. Original Teleos plan ID is preserved in Source_System_ID__c.
Teleos
Clinical_Note
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Object: Clinical_Note__c
1:1Clinical notes migrate as a custom object named Clinical_Note__c with a Patient__c lookup to the Contact record. Original note text, author (staff User), and timestamp are preserved as custom fields. Attachments such as imaging files or lab results are downloaded from Teleos and re-uploaded to Salesforce Files, then linked to the Clinical_Note__c record.
Teleos
Prescription
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Object: Prescription__c
1:1Teleos prescription records become a custom object named Prescription__c linked via Patient__c lookup to the patient Contact. Drug name, dosage, frequency, start and end dates, and prescribing staff migrate as custom fields. Active versus archived status is captured as a Prescription_Status__c pick-list with values including Active, Expired, and Cancelled.
Teleos
Invoice
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Object: Invoice__c + Invoice_Line_Item__c
1:1Teleos invoices have no Salesforce native equivalent and become a custom Invoice__c object linked to the Account. Invoice total, status (Paid, Outstanding, Overdue, Voided), and due date migrate as custom fields. Line items are migrated as a junction custom object (Invoice_Line_Item__c) with a lookup to Invoice__c plus description, quantity, unit price, and line total.
Teleos
Vaccination_Record
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Object: Vaccination__c
1:1Vaccination records become a custom object named Vaccination__c with a Patient__c lookup to the patient Contact. Vaccine name, lot number, administered date, next due date, and administering staff migrate as custom fields. This object is kept separate from Clinical_Note__c to allow filtering and reporting by vaccination status independently of general clinical notes.
Teleos
Staff / User
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1Teleos staff records are resolved by email match to existing Salesforce Users. If a Teleos staff member has no corresponding Salesforce User account, all their owned records are assigned to a designated fallback Salesforce User and flagged in the migration report for admin review before go-live. The original Teleos staff ID is preserved in a custom Source_System_Staff_ID__c field.
Teleos
Reminder / Sequence
Salesforce Sales Cloud
No Equivalent
1:1Teleos appointment reminder sequences and client follow-up automations have no Salesforce equivalent and do not migrate. We export the complete Teleos automation definitions including trigger logic, delay rules, conditions, and message templates as a structured reference document. This document serves as the blueprint for rebuilding automations in Salesforce Flow.

Migration approach
Discover Teleos schema and audit data quality
We connect to Teleos via scoped read access and enumerate all standard and custom objects, field names, and record counts. We identify orphaned records (patients with no client, appointments with no patient), duplicate clients, and records with missing required fields. A data-quality report is delivered before mapping begins so your team can decide whether to cleanse first or proceed with flagged records.
Design Salesforce custom object schema and field mapping plan
We produce a comprehensive Salesforce schema plan that documents every custom object required, including Treatment_Plan__c, Clinical_Note__c, Prescription__c, Invoice__c, Invoice_Line_Item__c, and Vaccination__c. For each custom object, we define all custom fields with their data types, pick-list values, and default settings. Object relationships (lookups and master-detail) are specified, including which fields serve as foreign keys linking clinical records to patient Contacts. This schema plan is reviewed and approved by your Salesforce admin before any objects are created in the target org. Standard Account and Contact field mappings are finalized at the same time to ensure the full data model is complete before migration execution begins.
Resolve Teleos staff to Salesforce Users by email
Teleos staff IDs are matched against Salesforce User email addresses using an exact-match lookup in the target Salesforce org. For each Teleos staff member found in Salesforce, all records they own in Teleos are assigned the corresponding Salesforce User as OwnerId during migration. For Teleos staff members who have no corresponding Salesforce User account, all their owned records are assigned to a designated fallback Salesforce User and flagged in the migration report. Your team reviews the report and either creates the missing Salesforce User accounts before go-live or confirms the fallback assignment. This step ensures every migrated record has a valid OwnerId and no records are left ownerless.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 100–500 records — covering clients, patients, appointments, a clinical note, a prescription, and an invoice — migrates into a Salesforce sandbox environment first. This sample run validates that the field mappings, custom object structure, and relationship lookups work correctly with real Teleos data. We generate a field-level diff report comparing Teleos source values against Salesforce destination values so you can verify pet-flag settings on patient Contacts, custom field population for clinical records, and appointment-patient linking via WhatId lookups. Any mapping errors or data anomalies discovered in the sample run are corrected before the full migration batch executes.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The complete data set loads into Salesforce production via Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 in batched transactions sized to your org's API entitlement. Records are inserted in dependency order: Accounts first, then Contacts, then custom objects, then Events. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window opens immediately after the initial load completes, capturing any Teleos records created or modified during the cutover period when your team may still be working in Teleos. An audit log records every insert and update with timestamps and record counts. If reconciliation fails or critical mapping errors are discovered, a one-click rollback reverts all migrated records. A final reconciliation report detailing record counts, error logs, and delta records applied is delivered within 24 hours of cutover completion.
