Overview

What this migration involves

Total Control Pro is a manufacturing operations platform (MRP/MES) built for discrete manufacturers, while GoHighLevel is an all-in-one CRM and marketing automation platform designed for agencies, consultants, and service-based businesses. These platforms share almost no overlapping object types. The only migratable records are Customer accounts and Contact records, which we map to GoHighLevel Contacts and Opportunities. All manufacturing data including Work Orders, Bills of Materials, production schedules, inventory movements, and the Manufacturing Intelligence Module KPIs (OEE, cycle time, scrap rates) have no GoHighLevel equivalent and are exported as structured CSV deliverables for your team to import into a BI tool or a dedicated manufacturing platform. We do not migrate automation rules or integration configurations as code; we produce a written inventory for your admin to rebuild in GoHighLevel or a replacement manufacturing system.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Total Control Pro logo

Total Control Pro

What's pushing teams away

  • No publicly documented REST or bulk API for third-party integration; data movement depends on CSV exports or direct cooperation from the vendor, which limits the integration ceiling for growing operations.
  • Reviewers report bugs during implementation, particularly when requesting newly built or custom features, and describe slow turnaround on feature development requests (Capterra UK).
  • TotalControlPro is a small company (~14 employees per ZoomInfo); support bandwidth is finite, and customers needing guaranteed enterprise SLAs may outgrow the vendor's coverage.
  • Pricing is not transparently published beyond a £15–£25/user/month starting point; full quotes depend on services, integrations, and onboarding, making procurement comparisons harder against listed competitors.
  • Heavily regulated manufacturing (medical device, aerospace primes beyond engine-tier suppliers) often requires formal audit-trail compliance documentation that the platform does not pitch as a core capability.

Choosing

HighLevel logo

HighLevel

What's pulling them in

  • Agencies choose HighLevel to consolidate CRM, email, SMS, scheduling, and funnels into one subscription, eliminating monthly bills for five to ten separate SaaS tools they previously stitched together.
  • The flat-rate pricing model bills per sub-account rather than per contact, so growing a contact database from 1,000 to 100,000 records does not trigger a billing surprise—a common pain point avoided by migrating customers.
  • White-label and sub-account capabilities let agencies resell HighLevel access to their own clients, turning a software cost center into a recurring revenue stream that justifies the subscription.
  • The platform ships a 14-day free trial with no credit card required, giving teams a low-friction entry point to validate fit before committing to the $97/month Starter tier.
  • Marketing agencies managing multiple client accounts use sub-accounts to maintain data isolation per client while operating under a single agency billing relationship with HighLevel.

Object mapping

How Total Control Pro objects map to HighLevel

Each row shows how a Total Control Pro object lands in HighLevel, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

Total Control Pro

Customer

maps to

HighLevel

Contact + Account

1:many
Fully supported

Total Control Pro Customer records (name, contact details, billing address, shipping address, account terms, associated sales orders) map to GoHighLevel Contacts. The company or business name from the TCP Customer record also creates a corresponding GoHighLevel Account so that Opportunities can be linked to the Account and Contacts can be associated for multi-contact accounts. We use the TCP customer record's primary contact fields to set the primary Contact on the Account.

Total Control Pro

Supplier

maps to

HighLevel

Contact (tagged as Vendor)

1:1
Fully supported

Total Control Pro Supplier records map to GoHighLevel Contacts tagged with a custom 'Vendor' label. Supplier part supply links and lead times are stored as custom text fields on the Contact record since GoHighLevel does not have a native vendor management object. If the customer requires full purchase order tracking, that workflow is best handled outside GoHighLevel in a dedicated purchasing or ERP tool.

Total Control Pro

Product

maps to

HighLevel

Opportunity Line Item or Custom Field on Contact

lossy
Fully supported

Total Control Pro Product definitions (part numbers, descriptions, unit of measure) that represent service offerings or billable items map to GoHighLevel Products or custom fields on Opportunity. Physical manufactured parts and BOM-linked products have no natural GoHighLevel equivalent and are exported as part of the structured manufacturing data deliverable rather than loaded into the CRM.

Total Control Pro

Work Order

maps to

HighLevel

No equivalent (structured CSV export)

1:1
Fully supported

Work Orders carry production status, assigned operations, timestamps, and shop-floor capture data. GoHighLevel has no production, manufacturing, or Work Order object. We extract Work Order records as a structured CSV export with status, dates, operations, and linking fields preserved, delivered alongside the migration for import into a BI tool, a dedicated manufacturing platform, or for reference by the customer's team.

Total Control Pro

Bill of Materials

maps to

HighLevel

No equivalent (structured CSV export)

1:1
Fully supported

Bills of Materials in Total Control Pro carry multi-level component structures, revision numbers, and active-approvals. GoHighLevel does not support BOM or recipe management. We export BOMs as structured CSV with part-number, quantity-per, operation-sequence, and revision-number fields. The active BOM revision is identified as of migration cutoff date. Multi-level BOMs are flattened in the export with a path column indicating parent-child hierarchy.

Total Control Pro

Production Schedule

maps to

HighLevel

No equivalent (structured CSV export)

1:1
Fully supported

Production scheduling data (operation sequences, due dates, constraint flags, priority overrides) has no GoHighLevel equivalent. We export this as a structured CSV with scheduling fields mapped to standard date, priority, and text columns. If the customer uses GoHighLevel Opportunities to track project-based work, the production schedule dates can be mapped to Opportunity custom date fields as a partial workaround, but this requires a manual configuration step by the customer's admin.

Total Control Pro

Inventory

maps to

HighLevel

No equivalent (structured CSV export)

1:1
Mapping required

Current stock levels, bin locations, and lot numbers migrate as a snapshot CSV at migration cutoff. Live inventory movements during the migration window are queued and exported as a delta CSV rather than loaded into GoHighLevel, which has no inventory management object. Customers requiring live inventory tracking post-migration need a dedicated inventory or ERP platform.

Total Control Pro

Manufacturing Intelligence KPIs (MIM)

maps to

HighLevel

No equivalent (structured CSV export)

1:1
Fully supported

The MIM stores OEE, cycle time, scrap rates, and related operational KPIs in a proprietary time-series format. We extract these as date-bounded CSV exports with metric name, value, timestamp, and associated Work Order or product reference. These exports are delivered for import into the customer's BI platform or a dedicated OEE monitoring tool like the Evocon or similar platforms listed as Total Control Pro alternatives on SourceForge.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Manufacturing data has no GoHighLevel home

    Total Control Pro is an MRP/MES platform and GoHighLevel is a CRM and marketing automation tool. Work Orders, Bills of Materials, production schedules, inventory, and MIM KPIs have no equivalent object in GoHighLevel. These records cannot be forced into Contacts, Opportunities, or custom CRM objects without creating a misleading data model. We export them as structured CSV deliverables and flag them as requiring a separate manufacturing platform post-migration. Customers who proceed expecting GoHighLevel to replace their ERP will be disappointed.

  • No public API on Total Control Pro requires vendor cooperation

    Total Control Pro does not publish a public REST or bulk API. All data export must be performed through manual CSV exports from the UI or through direct database queries that require vendor credentials. We request a vendor cooperation letter at scoping. If the vendor does not provide timely access to exports, migration timelines extend significantly. Customers should initiate vendor contact early in the scoping process.

  • CRM automation does not replace manufacturing process logic

    GoHighLevel's visual workflow builder is designed for CRM and marketing automation (lead follow-up, appointment reminders, pipeline stage changes, SMS campaigns). It is not a manufacturing execution system and cannot replicate production routing, BOM explosion, capacity planning, or shop-floor dispatch logic. Any manufacturing process automation configured in Total Control Pro must be rebuilt in a replacement manufacturing platform, not in GoHighLevel. We document the existing automation rules as a handoff for the customer's engineering team.

  • BOM revision history requires explicit scoping before export

    Bills of Materials in Total Control Pro carry revision numbers and historical variants. The platform does not automatically mark which BOM revision was active on any given past date unless that metadata was explicitly logged during implementation. We identify the active BOM revision at migration cutoff by querying the most recent approved revision per product and confirm it with the customer team before mapping. If no approval-date metadata exists, we export all revisions and flag them for manual resolution.

  • MIM KPI time-series stored in opaque format

    The Manufacturing Intelligence Module stores calculated KPIs (OEE, cycle time, scrap rates) in a proprietary time-series format not exposed in standard exports. We extract these through a targeted export scoped to the MIM module, normalise the rows into standard date-metric-value CSV format, and deliver them alongside the migration. If the customer's destination BI tool is not yet configured, the MIM exports are stored for later import.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Total Control Pro to HighLevel data migration

  1. Discovery and vendor cooperation letter

    We audit the Total Control Pro instance for customer record count, supplier count, product count, work order volume, BOM complexity, and any custom fields added during implementation. We simultaneously assess the GoHighLevel destination: plan tier (Starter $97, Unlimited $297, or SaaS Pro $497), existing pipeline structure, custom field configuration, and contact duplicate rules. We issue a vendor cooperation letter requesting CSV export access or database credentials from Total Control Pro's vendor, with the customer copied. If vendor cooperation is not granted within ten business days, we scope a full UI-based CSV extraction for each module and adjust the timeline accordingly.

  2. Customer and Contact mapping design

    We design the GoHighLevel schema for imported contacts: standard Contact fields (name, email, phone, address) map from Total Control Pro Customer fields; custom fields from TCP (account terms, customer-specific specifications, delivery references) map to GoHighLevel custom Contact fields. We create a GoHighLevel Account for each TCP Customer so that the Contact-Account relationship is established before Opportunity linking. We configure Opportunity custom fields to carry any manufacturing-relevant metadata (product category, estimated project value) that is relevant to the sales CRM layer.

  3. Manufacturing data structured export

    We perform structured CSV exports of all Total Control Pro manufacturing objects: Work Orders (status, dates, operations), Bills of Materials (multi-level flattened, with revision number), Production Schedules (constraint flags, priority overrides), Inventory snapshots (stock levels, bin locations, lot numbers), and MIM KPI time-series (OEE, cycle time, scrap rate by date and product). Each export is date-bounded to the migration cutoff and delivered as a named CSV with a data dictionary documenting field mappings. We do not load manufacturing data into GoHighLevel.

  4. Contact and Account migration into GoHighLevel

    We import Customer and Supplier records into GoHighLevel using the GoHighLevel Contacts API. We create Accounts first, then Contacts linked to Accounts, then any Opportunities derived from TCP Sales Orders. Owner resolution matches TCP customer owner by name or email to a GoHighLevel User. Any TCP custom fields are mapped to GoHighLevel custom Contact or Opportunity fields. We run a reconciliation report comparing GoHighLevel record counts against TCP source record counts before cutover.

  5. Cutover, delta export, and handoff package

    We freeze writes to Total Control Pro at cutover, perform a final delta export of any records created or modified during the migration window, apply those deltas to GoHighLevel, and deliver the complete manufacturing CSV package. We provide a written manufacturing data inventory document listing all exported Work Orders, BOMs, production schedules, inventory snapshots, and MIM KPIs with file locations, record counts, and data dictionaries. This package is handed off to the customer's team for import into a BI tool or a replacement manufacturing platform.

  6. Automation rebuild inventory

    We do not migrate Total Control Pro automation rules or integration configurations to GoHighLevel. We produce a written inventory of every automation rule in TCP: its trigger, conditions, actions, and the manufacturing process it supports. For each rule, we note whether a GoHighLevel workflow replacement is relevant (unlikely for production logic) or whether the rule should be reviewed for a replacement manufacturing platform. This document is delivered alongside the manufacturing data package.

HighLevel logo

HighLevel

Destination

Strengths

  • Consolidates CRM, marketing automation, email, SMS, scheduling, and funnels into one platform at a predictable flat monthly rate.
  • Supports unlimited contacts and unlimited users on all paid tiers, removing per-record billing anxiety as databases grow.
  • Offers white-label and sub-account capabilities that let agencies resell access and manage multiple client environments under one billing relationship.
  • Includes built-in review management, reputation monitoring, and AI agents as native features rather than third-party add-ons.
  • Exports Contacts and Companies via a scalable async bulk CSV system that handles multi-million-row datasets without blocking the UI.

Weaknesses

  • The breadth of features creates a steep learning curve; advanced automations and Workflow configuration require significant time investment that smaller teams may not recover.
  • The platform charges usage-based fees for telecommunications and AI features that are not included in the base subscription, leading to bill surprises.
  • Recurring user reports on Reddit and G2 describe bugs, errors, and slow support response times that disrupt live marketing and sales operations.
  • Sub-account architecture, while powerful for agencies, adds migration complexity when identifying which client data lives in which isolated environment.
  • The platform is designed for agencies and SMBs; larger enterprises requiring deep reporting, custom objects at scale, or complex role-based access may outgrow its capabilities.

No. GoHighLevel is a CRM and marketing automation platform and has no Work Order, Bill of Materials, production schedule, or inventory management object. Manufacturing data from Total Control Pro is exported as a structured CSV package (Work Orders, BOMs, production schedules, inventory snapshots, MIM KPIs) and delivered alongside the CRM migration for your team to import into a dedicated manufacturing or BI platform. We recommend evaluating platforms like MRPeasy, Epicor, or the Evocon OEE tool if manufacturing operations continue post-migration.
