Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Total Control Pro to Salesforce Sales Cloud is a cross-domain migration: Total Control Pro is a manufacturing operations platform built around Work Orders, BOMs, shop-floor scheduling, and the Manufacturing Intelligence Module, while Salesforce is a CRM that natively models Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, and Cases. There is no direct object correspondence, so we design a custom manufacturing schema in Salesforce using custom objects for Work Orders, BOMs, and MIM KPIs before any data moves. Total Control Pro publishes no public API, so we extract data through vendor cooperation letters and scoped CSV exports from each module, sequencing records by creation date to preserve the production timeline. We do not migrate attachment files, automation rules, or integration configurations; we deliver an inventory document for your admin team to rebuild these in Salesforce Flow or through AppExchange apps.

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

Salesforce Sales Cloud logo

Salesforce Sales Cloud

What's pulling them in

  • The AppExchange marketplace with 5,000+ prebuilt apps gives enterprises integrations for nearly every business workflow without custom development.
  • Native Einstein AI for lead scoring, opportunity insights, and predictive forecasting adds intelligence without a separate platform purchase.
  • Territory management, multi-currency support, and advanced forecasting satisfy the needs of complex B2B sales organizations with structured revenue teams.
  • Slack, Tableau, and CPQ are deeply integrated into the core platform, keeping the sales stack unified for teams already in the Salesforce ecosystem.
  • Organizations with a large, established Salesforce implementation choose it because switching costs — integrations, custom code, trained admins — are prohibitive.

Object mapping

How Total Control Pro objects map to Salesforce Sales Cloud

Each row shows how a Total Control Pro 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.

Total Control Pro

Work Orders

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Custom Work Order object (Work_Order__c)

lossy
Fully supported

Total Control Pro Work Orders carry status, assigned operations, and timestamps with a full operational history including manual overrides logged by shop-floor staff. Salesforce has no standard Work Order object in Sales Cloud; we pre-create a custom Work_Order__c object with fields for wo_number (External ID), status, operation_sequence, assigned_workstation, start_date, completion_date, quantity_ordered, quantity_completed, and customer_reference. We resolve the parent Work Order lookup on child Operation_History__c records during import.

Total Control Pro

Bills of Materials

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Custom BOM object (Bill_of_Materials__c + BOM_Line__c)

1:many
Mapping required

Total Control Pro BOMs are multi-level structures with revision numbers. Salesforce has no standard BOM object, so we create a parent Bill_of_Materials__c record with fields for bom_number, revision, product_name, status, and effective_date, and a child BOM_Line__c object with lookup to the parent BOM, component_part_number, quantity_per, operation_sequence, and workstation. We identify the active revision as of migration cutoff by querying the most recent approved revision per product and confirm it with your team before mapping.

Total Control Pro

Products

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Product2

1:1
Fully supported

Total Control Pro Product definitions (part numbers, descriptions, unit of measure) map to Salesforce Product2. The part number becomes ProductCode. We validate against the destination Product2 list and flag duplicates for resolution. If your Salesforce org uses a Pricebook for work-order costing, we create StandardPricebook entries during migration.

Total Control Pro

Inventory

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Custom Inventory_Snapshot__c object

lossy
Mapping required

Total Control Pro inventory stores current stock levels, bin locations, and lot numbers. Since inventory is a live-moving target during migration, we extract it as a snapshot at cutoff. We create a custom Inventory_Snapshot__c object with fields for product (Product2 lookup), quantity_on_hand, bin_location, lot_number, last_updated, and warehouse. We do not migrate live inventory movements during migration; we queue and replay those post-cutover to avoid discrepancy.

Total Control Pro

Customers

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Account + Contact

1:many
Fully supported

Total Control Pro customer records with contact details, account terms, and associated sales orders map to Salesforce Account (company-level) and Contact (individual contact-level). The Total Control Pro customer address and payment terms map to Account fields. We flag any customer-specific design specifications stored on the customer record for migration to a custom field on Account or Contact.

Total Control Pro

Suppliers

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Account (with Supplier record type)

lossy
Mapping required

Total Control Pro supplier records include part supply links and lead times. We map these to Salesforce Account records using a Supplier Record Type to distinguish them from customer Accounts. Purchase item assignments migrate to a custom Supplier_Item__c junction object linking the Account to the relevant Product2. Lead time data maps to a custom lead_time_days__c field on the junction object.

Total Control Pro

Production Schedules

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Custom Production_Schedule__c object

lossy
Mapping required

Total Control Pro production schedules include operation sequences and due dates. We map these to a custom Production_Schedule__c object with fields for schedule_reference, work_order (lookup to Work_Order__c), operation_sequence, scheduled_start, scheduled_end, priority_flag, and constraint_notes. Priority overrides and constraint flags are preserved as custom fields.

Total Control Pro

Manufacturing Intelligence KPIs (MIM)

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Custom MIM_KPI__c object (Big Objects if >1M rows)

lossy
Fully supported

The MIM stores OEE, cycle time, scrap rate, and other operational KPIs as time-series data in a proprietary format. We extract these through a targeted MIM module export, normalise rows into structured records, and map them to a custom MIM_KPI__c object with fields for kpi_type, metric_value, recorded_date, shift, workstation, and related_work_order. For histories exceeding one million rows, we use Salesforce Big Objects to maintain performance.

Total Control Pro

Custom Fields

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Custom fields on destination objects

lossy
Mapping required

Total Control Pro supports user-defined fields added during implementation. We enumerate all custom fields during discovery, classify their data type, and pre-create matching custom fields on the relevant Salesforce object before migration. Custom field values then migrate as standard field data rather than requiring a separate custom object.

Total Control Pro

Quality Checks

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Custom Quality_Check__c object

lossy
Mapping required

Total Control Pro inspection results and non-conformance records are migrated as child records under their parent Work Order or Production Run. We create a custom Quality_Check__c object with fields for check_type, result (pass/fail), non_conformance_description, detected_date, and related_work_order lookup. Non-conformance flags map to a custom non_conformance_flag__c checkbox on Work_Order__c.

Total Control Pro

Attachments

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Not migrated (manual transfer required)

1:1
Not supported

Total Control Pro document attachments (drawings, SOPs, inspection images) are stored in the platform's own file store and do not expose a documented export endpoint. We flag these for manual transfer using the platform's built-in export utility if available, or document the file inventory so your team can transfer them post-migration. Salesforce ContentDocument and ContentVersion objects are available to host the transferred files once migration is complete.

Total Control Pro

Integrations and Automation Rules

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Not migrated (documented for rebuild)

1:1
Not supported

Total Control Pro workflow automation rules and third-party integration configurations are not exposed via a documented API. We cannot extract them programmatically. We deliver a written inventory of each integration (Xero, Dynamics 365 Business Central, HubSpot Sales Hub, Celonis) and automation rule with its trigger conditions, actions, and connected systems, so your admin rebuilds them in Salesforce Flow or through AppExchange integration apps post-migration.

Pair-specific challenges

  • No documented public API for data export

    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 credentials obtained from the vendor directly. We request vendor cooperation letters at scoping and, where cooperation is not granted, we fall back to CSV extraction scoped to each module. If the vendor does not provide timely access to exports, migration timelines extend significantly. This is the highest-severity constraint on this migration pair and must be resolved before discovery concludes.

  • BOM revision history requires explicit scoping

    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 by the implementation team. We identify the active BOM revision at migration cutoff by querying the most recent approved revision per product and confirm it with your team before mapping to the destination Bill_of_Materials__c. Multi-level BOM expansion (where a component is itself a sub-assembly with its own BOM) must be scoped for either flattening or recursive nesting depending on what your target reporting requires.

  • MIM time-series KPIs stored in proprietary format

    The Manufacturing Intelligence Module stores calculated KPIs (OEE, cycle time, scrap rates) in a proprietary time-series format that is not exposed in standard exports. We extract these through a targeted export scoped to the MIM module, then normalise the rows into a format compatible with Salesforce custom objects or Big Objects. If your target system does not support time-series analytics natively (Salesforce Reports, Tableau, or an external BI tool), we deliver the data as a structured CSV alongside the transactional migration.

  • Cross-domain mapping: manufacturing to CRM with no native object correspondence

    Total Control Pro's data model (Work Orders, BOMs, MIM KPIs, shop-floor schedules) has no direct Salesforce standard object equivalent. Salesforce Sales Cloud natively models Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Opportunities, and Cases. We must design and pre-deploy a custom manufacturing schema (Work_Order__c, Bill_of_Materials__c, MIM_KPI__c, Production_Schedule__c) before any data moves. This schema design step adds one to two weeks to the timeline compared to a CRM-to-CRM migration of equivalent volume.

  • Attachment and document files cannot be extracted via API

    Total Control Pro document attachments (drawings, SOPs, inspection images, work order traveler documents) are stored in the platform's own file store and do not expose a documented export endpoint. We flag these for manual transfer. Without a vendor-provided export, documents remain in Total Control Pro after cutover. We document the full file inventory and recommend your team uses the platform's UI export for document types it supports, and we configure Salesforce ContentDocument and ContentVersion objects in advance so the transferred files can be linked to the correct records post-migration.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Total Control Pro to Salesforce Sales Cloud data migration

  1. Vendor cooperation letter and export scoping

    We initiate a vendor cooperation request to Total Control Pro requesting a vendor cooperation letter and access to data exports. We scope the export requirements per module: Work Orders, BOMs, Products, Inventory snapshot, Production Schedules, Customers, Suppliers, MIM KPIs, Quality Checks, and custom fields. If the vendor provides direct database access, we extract via SQL queries in dependency order; if not, we scope CSV exports per module and validate row counts before proceeding. This step gates the entire migration and typically takes one to two weeks.

  2. Discovery and custom manufacturing schema design

    We audit the Total Control Pro data export to enumerate all objects, custom fields, BOM levels, MIM KPI types, and supplier/customer record volumes. Simultaneously, we design the destination Salesforce schema: custom objects (Work_Order__c, Bill_of_Materials__c, BOM_Line__c, MIM_KPI__c, Production_Schedule__c, Inventory_Snapshot__c, Quality_Check__c), custom fields with Salesforce-typed equivalents, Record Types for supplier Accounts, and Page Layouts. Schema is deployed to a Salesforce Sandbox via metadata API for validation before production migration begins.

  3. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into a Salesforce Sandbox (Full Copy or Partial Copy) using production-equivalent data volumes. Your manufacturing operations lead reconciles record counts against the Total Control Pro source exports, spot-checks twenty to fifty records for field-level accuracy, and confirms the BOM revision mapping is correct. Any schema corrections or field mapping gaps are resolved in the Sandbox. This step validates that the custom manufacturing schema accepts all Total Control Pro data without validation rule failures.

  4. Customer and supplier account provisioning

    Total Control Pro customer and supplier records are extracted and deduplicated by email or company name. Customers map to Salesforce Account (standard) and Contact objects. Suppliers map to Salesforce Account records with a Supplier Record Type and a custom Supplier_Item__c junction object for purchase item assignments. We resolve any duplicate Account names by appending a suffix and flag for your admin to review.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in dependency order: Accounts and Contacts first (because Work Orders carry customer references), Products (Product2), BOMs (Bill_of_Materials__c and BOM_Line__c with BOM revision confirmed), Work Orders (Work_Order__c), Production Schedules, Inventory Snapshot at cutoff, Quality Checks, MIM KPIs (MIM_KPI__c using Bulk API for large time-series sets), and custom field data on all objects. We freeze Total Control Pro writes during the final cutover window and run a delta migration of any records modified during the migration window.

  6. Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff

    We enable Salesforce as the system of record post-cutover, deliver a full reconciliation report (source record counts vs destination record counts per object), and run a sample validation against ten to twenty Total Control Pro records to confirm field-level accuracy. We deliver the integration and automation inventory document to your admin team. We do not rebuild Total Control Pro integrations (Xero, HubSpot, Dynamics 365 Business Central, Celonis) or workflow rules as Salesforce Flow inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues.
