Overview
Timefold and Monday CRM occupy fundamentally different positions in the software stack. Timefold is a specialized PlanningAI platform built around constraint-satisfaction solvers: it stores planning data as models, planning entities, and problem facts inside a tenant/member hierarchy, and it exposes optimization outputs (shift assignments, route sequences, scores) rather than a traditional object graph of contacts and deals. Monday CRM is a board-and-item Work OS that models everything as boards containing items organized in groups, with CRM-native entities (contacts, deals, companies) added on top. Migrating from Timefold to Monday CRM therefore requires translating a solver-driven data model into a visual, column-driven one — workers become items in a team board, shifts and visits become items with status and date columns, locations map to location column types, and planning scores land as read-only reference fields. FlitStack AI accesses Timefold via its REST API (with optional JSON export for bulk datasets) and writes into Monday CRM using the monday.com GraphQL API. Automations, solver recipes, and integration connections that exist in Timefold do not have equivalents in Monday CRM and must be rebuilt; we export Timefold workflow and recipe definitions as a rebuild reference for your Monday admin. The migration sequences tenant and member resolution first, then planning-model entities in dependency order, with a delta-pickup window capturing any changes made in Timefold during the cutover window.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Timefold object lands in monday CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Timefold
Tenant
monday CRM
Account / Workspace
1:1Timefold tenants map directly to the monday CRM account at a 1:1 ratio. All members associated with the source tenant are migrated as monday CRM users invited to the same account. Email addresses serve as the join key for identity preservation, ensuring that owner resolution in item assignments references the correct monday user identities that originated from the Timefold member records.
Timefold
Member
monday CRM
User
1:1Timefold members migrate as monday CRM users using email as the primary join key for resolving worker and owner assignments across boards. Members whose Timefold records contain email addresses not yet registered in monday CRM are flagged as provisioning-required before migration execution to prevent orphaned references on shift and visit items.
Timefold
Model (field-service-routing)
monday CRM
Board
1:1Each Timefold planning model—such as field-service-routing, employee-shift-scheduling, or pick-up-and-delivery—becomes a separate monday CRM board. The board name derives directly from the model name. The board's default group receives the initial migration batch of items; subsequent groups map to Timefold subgroups, sub-models, or solver-generated partitions within the original model structure.
Timefold
Worker / Employee
monday CRM
Item (in Team Board)
1:1Timefold workers and employees migrate as items within a dedicated monday CRM team-operations board. Worker attributes such as skills, certifications, and availability windows map to corresponding monday column types including multi-select for skills, date columns for availability, and timeline columns for working hours. The original Timefold worker ID is preserved as a read-only text column for traceability and cross-reference during validation.
Timefold
Skill / Certification
monday CRM
Multi-select Column
1:1Timefold skill definitions become a monday CRM multi-select column on the worker board. Each distinct skill value in Timefold creates a corresponding option in the column. Skill requirements on visits or jobs map to matching multi-select columns on those boards, with option values aligned across boards to enable filtering and matching functionality.
Timefold
Location / Depot
monday CRM
Item (in Locations Board) + Location Column
1:1Timefold locations with geographic coordinates migrate as items in a monday CRM locations board and simultaneously as Location column values on visit or job items. Address fields from Timefold parse into monday's structured address sub-fields including city, street, state, and zip code, enabling both human-readable address display and geospatial functionality through the Location column's coordinate data.
Timefold
Shift
monday CRM
Item (in Shifts Board)
1:1Timefold shift records become items in a monday CRM shifts board. Start and end times map to monday date and timeline columns. The assigned worker reference resolves to the corresponding monday item via email-based owner matching. Shift status values (published, draft, cancelled) map to a monday status column with matching option labels.
Timefold
Visit / Job
monday CRM
Item (in Visits Board)
1:1Timefold visits and jobs—the core planning entities in field-service-routing models—migrate as items in a monday CRM visits board. Priority, time window, required skills, and travel-time requirements map to corresponding monday column types. The planning entity's planning-variable assignments (which worker, which route) store as person and location column references that link back to the migrated worker items and location items.
Timefold
Route / Route Plan
monday CRM
Group (in Visits Board)
1:1Timefold route plans—the optimized sequence of visits assigned by the solver—map to monday CRM groups within the visits board. Each group represents a single route. The group's items (visits) are ordered by the solver's visit sequence number stored as a numeric column. Route-level metadata such as total distance and total time becomes group-level columns on the monday group header.
Timefold
Planning Solution / Score
monday CRM
Number Column + Text Column
1:1Timefold solver scores (hard, medium, soft constraint scores) have no monday CRM equivalent. FlitStack stores the final solver score as read-only number and text columns on the affected board items for audit and reference. Solver scores do not trigger any automation in monday CRM and will not recalculate if monday users manually modify assigned values.
Timefold
File / Attachment
monday CRM
monday CRM Files
1:1Files attached to Timefold records—including planning documents, constraint definition exports, route maps, and reference PDFs—are downloaded from Timefold storage and re-uploaded to the corresponding monday CRM items using monday's native file storage. File size limits and supported formats (PDF, images, spreadsheets) follow monday's upload constraints as documented for your specific monday plan tier.
Timefold
Solver Recipe / Constraint Definition
monday CRM
No Equivalent — Manual Rebuild Required
1:1Timefold constraint definitions and solver recipes are solver-engine configurations expressed in DRL rules or Constraint Streams with no monday CRM counterpart. FlitStack exports these recipe definitions as JSON documents and constraint-rule plain-text files for your Monday admin to use as a functional specification when rebuilding equivalent automation rules or conditional logic in monday's recipe syntax.
Timefold
Integration / Webhook Connection
monday CRM
No Equivalent — Rebuilt Separately
1:1Timefold API integrations with external ERPs, telephony platforms, or routing systems have no monday CRM equivalent and cannot be migrated directly. FlitStack documents each active integration endpoint identified during discovery—including webhook URLs, authentication methods, payload structures, and data flow direction—as a configuration reference document for your team to use when rebuilding connections as monday integrations or native API calls post-migration.

Migration approach
Audit Timefold model structure and export planning data
FlitStack AI connects to Timefold via API using an API key scoped to the source tenant. We enumerate all planning models (field-service-routing, employee-shift-scheduling, pick-up-and-delivery) and extract the full entity set per model: workers, skills, locations, shifts, visits, routes, and the most recent planning solution with its constraint scores. We also export solver recipe definitions as JSON for the rebuild reference package. The audit produces a data inventory count used to size the migration scope and validate the board structure plan.
Design monday CRM board architecture and pre-create schema
Before writing any records, FlitStack AI creates the monday CRM boards, groups, and custom columns required to receive Timefold data. This includes: a Team Operations board for workers (with skills multi-select and capacity number columns), a Locations board with address and location columns, a Shifts board with date, status, and person columns, and a Visits board with timeline, priority, location, and required-skills columns. Multi-select column options (skill names, status values) are created during this phase so item data can populate them in the next step. Custom reference fields (Source_System_ID__c, Original_Create_Date__c) are also created now.
Resolve owners and workers by email match
Timefold members (identified by email) are matched against monday CRM users by email address. Where a Timefold member has no corresponding monday user, FlitStack flags the record before migration and either provisions a placeholder monday user or assigns a fallback owner per the migration plan. This step ensures every shift and visit item in monday CRM has a valid person-column reference rather than an orphaned ID.
Migrate entities in dependency order with a sample diff first
FlitStack AI migrates Timefold entities into monday CRM in the correct dependency sequence: tenants → members → locations → workers → shifts → visits → routes. The route plan entity (which defines visit groupings) is applied after visits are written by updating each visit item's group assignment. A representative sample (typically 50–100 items across boards) migrates first, and we generate a field-level diff between the Timefold source fields and the monday CRM destination columns so you can verify skill mapping, location column population, person-column resolution, and route-sequence ordering before the full run commits.
Cut over with delta-pickup window and rollback audit
After sample validation, the full migration runs against monday CRM. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any changes made in Timefold during the cutover — new shifts created, visits re-assigned, or workers added. FlitStack AI logs every write operation in an audit table. If reconciliation identifies missing or mismatched records, one-click rollback reverts monday CRM to its pre-migration state while the Timefold export remains available for a corrected re-run. After rollback confirmation, the solver recipe export package is delivered to your Monday admin for the automation rebuild phase.
