Overview

What this migration involves

Trade Service Pro was a field-service management platform covering CRM, scheduling, estimates, proposals, invoices, and timesheets. Since TSP has closed its doors, customers with historical data need a structured path to extract and relocate that information. HubSpot's CRM becomes the destination — storing customer and company data as Contacts and Companies, estimates and proposals as Deals, and field-service-specific records as HubSpot custom objects. We map TSP customers to HubSpot Contacts and Companies, TSP estimates and proposals to HubSpot Deals with a configured pipeline matching TSP's estimate statuses, and TSP work orders, service records, and schedules to custom objects that preserve technician assignments, service addresses, and line-item detail. TSP's custom fields (service_category, work_order_type, technician_id) map to HubSpot custom properties, which you configure in HubSpot's Property Settings under your account. TSP's automations and workflow rules do not migrate — they must be rebuilt in HubSpot's Automation or Breeze tools. TSP's custom forms and intake records migrate as structured custom-object data. Migration runs against TSP's export files or backup data, since live API access is no longer available. We sequence the migration so custom objects resolve foreign-key relationships correctly, run a sample migration first to verify field-level accuracy, and apply a delta-pickup window for any records created during the cutover before your team goes live in HubSpot.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Trade Service Pro

What's pushing teams away

  • No public API means third-party integrations or automated data pipelines are not possible, pushing growing companies toward platforms like ServiceTitan or Jobber that offer developer access.
  • Support is ticket-based with no clear SLA, and several reviews of similar FSM platforms cite slow response times as a reason for switching.
  • Limited scalability beyond 11–50 employees means companies that grow past that range often need a more robust platform with advanced dispatch and reporting.
  • Sync issues and reliability bugs, reported across comparable FSM tools, cause field teams to lose confidence in the system during active jobs.

HubSpot

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest barrier to entry of any major CRM — the free tier with unlimited contacts lets teams validate fit before committing to a paid plan, according to G2 and Capterra reviewers.
  • Native integration between the CRM and sales engagement tools (sequences, email tracking, dialer) means no separate sync configuration, a theme across G2 Sales Hub reviews.
  • Pipeline visualization, deal tracking, and automated workflows are consistently praised as intuitive and easy to set up without developer involvement.
  • Strong onboarding for new team members — reviewers on Capterra and G2 highlight how quickly new reps become productive without formal training.
  • The HubSpot platform ecosystem (Marketing, Sales, Service, CMS hubs) allows growing companies to consolidate tools without building new integrations.

Object mapping

How Trade Service Pro objects map to HubSpot

Each row shows how a Trade Service Pro object lands in HubSpot, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

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

Trade Service Pro

TSP Customer

maps to

HubSpot

HubSpot Contact + Company

1:1
Fully supported

TSP customers map directly to HubSpot Contacts (person-level records) and HubSpot Companies (business-level records). When a TSP customer record has an associated business name, we create both a Contact and a Company and link them via the Company Association. TSP customer notes and custom fields migrate as HubSpot contact properties and custom properties respectively.

Trade Service Pro

TSP Estimate / Proposal

maps to

HubSpot

HubSpot Deal

1:1
Fully supported

TSP estimates and proposals map to HubSpot Deals. The estimate name becomes the Deal name, the estimated value becomes Deal Amount, and the TSP status (Pending, Sent, Accepted, Declined) maps to a configured HubSpot pipeline stage. We preserve the original estimate create date and TSP estimate ID for traceability.

Trade Service Pro

TSP Work Order

maps to

HubSpot

HubSpot Work_Order__c (Custom Object)

1:1
Fully supported

TSP work orders have no HubSpot native equivalent — they migrate as a custom object named Work_Order__c under HubSpot Enterprise or Service Hub Starter. The custom object stores work order number, status, type, service address, assigned technician, scheduled date, and line items for materials and labor. The TSP customer and contact link as lookup associations in HubSpot.

Trade Service Pro

TSP Schedule / Dispatch Record

maps to

HubSpot

HubSpot Schedule__c (Custom Object)

1:1
Fully supported

TSP scheduling records track technician, job date and time, duration, job type, and job address. We create a Schedule__c custom object in HubSpot to hold these records with the same field structure. The schedule links to the associated Work_Order__c custom object and the Contact record for the customer being served.

Trade Service Pro

TSP Estimate Line Item

maps to

HubSpot

HubSpot Deal Line Item

1:1
Fully supported

TSP line items on estimates — service descriptions, quantities, unit prices, and tax — migrate as HubSpot Deal Line Items attached to the corresponding Deal. The line-item name, quantity, and unit price map directly. HubSpot supports line items on Deals at all Sales Hub tiers.

Trade Service Pro

TSP Invoice

maps to

HubSpot

HubSpot Invoice__c (Custom Object)

1:1
Fully supported

TSP invoices carry invoice number, total amount, payment status, and payment method. Since HubSpot has no native invoice object in the CRM layer, we create an Invoice__c custom object preserving invoice number, contact association, line items, total, status, and payment date. Payment status migrates as a pick-list custom property.

Trade Service Pro

TSP Custom Form / Intake Record

maps to

HubSpot

HubSpot Intake__c (Custom Object)

1:1
Fully supported

TSP intake forms captured lead source, service type, job size, and urgency. We create an Intake__c custom object in HubSpot that stores the form name, submission date, associated contact, and key intake field values as custom properties. The intake record links to the contact created from the lead record.

Trade Service Pro

TSP Activity (Call, Note, Message)

maps to

HubSpot

HubSpot Engagement (Call, Note, Meeting)

1:1
Fully supported

TSP activity records — phone calls, notes, and messages attached to customers or work orders — map to HubSpot Engagements. Calls become HubSpot Calls with subject, body, and duration. Notes become HubSpot Notes attached to the relevant Contact or Deal. Original timestamps and the technician or user who logged the activity are preserved.

Trade Service Pro

TSP User / Technician

maps to

HubSpot

HubSpot User

1:1
Fully supported

TSP user and technician accounts map to HubSpot Users by email address. TSP user names become HubSpot user full names. TSP user roles and permissions do not migrate — HubSpot roles and permissions are configured separately in HubSpot Settings under Users & Teams.

Trade Service Pro

TSP Pricebook / Service Catalog

maps to

HubSpot

HubSpot Deal Line Item Product

1:1
Fully supported

TSP service catalog entries — service name, description, and standard rate — migrate as HubSpot Products. When TSP line items reference a pricebook entry, we link the HubSpot Deal Line Item to the corresponding HubSpot Product by name match. Unit prices and quantities map directly from the pricebook entry to the line item.

Trade Service Pro

TSP Timesheet Record

maps to

HubSpot

HubSpot Timesheet__c (Custom Object)

1:1
Fully supported

TSP timesheet entries track clock-in, clock-out, break duration, and total hours per technician per day. We create a Timesheet__c custom object in HubSpot linked to the TSP technician's HubSpot User record and the associated Work_Order__c or Schedule__c custom object. Total labor cost and labor rate fields preserve the financial context.

Trade Service Pro

TSP Workflow / Automation

maps to

HubSpot

None — documented for rebuild

1:1
Fully supported

TSP automations (dispatch triggers, payment reminders, status-change notifications) do not migrate to HubSpot. We export a structured reference document listing each TSP workflow's trigger, condition, and action so your HubSpot admin can rebuild equivalent automations in HubSpot's Automation or Breeze tools. This is manual work outside the data migration scope.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Trade Service Pro shutdown eliminates live API access

    Trade Service Pro has closed its doors. There is no active TSP API to connect to for a live migration pull. All migration work runs against your TSP data exports, backup files, or any structured data your team was able to extract before the shutdown. If no export exists, recovery options are limited to any local backups your organization retained. We begin every TSP engagement by reviewing what export files are available and assessing their format, completeness, and field structure before mapping begins. This assessment step may add 1–3 days to the project timeline compared to a live-API migration.

  • HubSpot has no native work order or dispatch object

    Trade Service Pro's core objects — work orders, technician schedules, and job timers — have no direct HubSpot native equivalent. HubSpot's standard objects (Contact, Company, Deal, Ticket) handle sales and service tickets but not field-dispatch records. These records migrate as HubSpot custom objects (Work_Order__c, Schedule__c, Timesheet__c), which you configure in HubSpot's Settings under Objects. Custom object creation is available on HubSpot Enterprise or Service Hub Starter plans. The migration plan includes a custom-object schema document listing every field to create, its type, and its source TSP field so your HubSpot admin can pre-build the schema before data lands.

  • TSP workflows do not migrate and must be rebuilt manually

    Trade Service Pro automations — dispatch triggers, payment reminder sequences, status-change notifications, and technician assignment rules — do not transfer to HubSpot. HubSpot's automation engine uses a completely different trigger-action model with no compatibility layer for TSP workflow definitions. We export a structured workflow reference document listing each TSP automation's trigger event, conditions, and actions in plain language. Your HubSpot admin uses that document to rebuild equivalent automations in HubSpot's Automation or Breeze tools. This manual rebuild step is outside the data migration scope and is the most common source of post-migration process gaps if not planned explicitly.

  • HubSpot's default pipeline stages do not match TSP estimate statuses

    HubSpot ships with a default seven-stage sales pipeline (Appointment Scheduled, Qualified to Buy, etc.) that does not match Trade Service Pro's estimate lifecycle (Pending, Sent, Accepted, Declined, Converted to Work Order). If your TSP estimate statuses carry reporting significance, they require a custom pipeline in HubSpot with stages that correspond to your TSP statuses. Each custom pipeline stage needs a probability value and a forecast category. We deliver a pipeline configuration plan mapping each TSP estimate status to a HubSpot stage name and probability. If multiple TSP pipelines exist with different status sets, each maps to its own HubSpot pipeline.

  • HubSpot custom property limits affect high-field-count TSP accounts

    HubSpot allows a maximum of 1000 custom properties per portal. TSP accounts with more than 50 custom fields on customers, companies, or estimates may approach or exceed this limit when mapped to HubSpot properties — especially if each TSP custom field becomes a separate HubSpot custom property rather than being consolidated. During the mapping phase, we audit the full list of TSP custom fields and identify consolidation candidates (fields with low fill rates or unclear purpose that can be archived rather than migrated). Fields flagged for archival are stored in a reference export file rather than created as live HubSpot properties, keeping your portal within the property limit and avoiding clutter that undermines CRM hygiene.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Trade Service Pro to HubSpot data migration

  1. Audit available TSP data and define the export scope

    We begin every Trade Service Pro migration by reviewing the available TSP data exports — CSV files, database backups, or structured dumps your team retained. We assess record counts per object (customers, companies, estimates, work orders, invoices, schedules, timesheets), field completeness, and any formatting issues in the export files. If multiple export formats exist, we identify the most complete and structurally consistent source. We then produce a data inventory document listing every object, record count, and field count, plus any gaps we identify. This step confirms what can migrate and what requires alternative preservation (archival export for records with no HubSpot destination).

  2. Configure HubSpot custom objects and property mappings

    Before migrating data, your HubSpot admin (or our team working in your HubSpot portal) creates the custom objects needed for TSP field-service records: Work_Order__c, Schedule__c, Timesheet__c, and Invoice__c. We deliver a detailed schema setup document listing every custom object, its fields, field types (text, number, datetime, pick-list), and whether each field is required or optional. We also produce a custom property mapping sheet for TSP customer, company, and estimate custom fields that will become HubSpot contact, company, and deal properties. HubSpot's Settings interface is used for all property and custom object creation — no API calls are needed for schema setup.

  3. Run a sample migration with field-level verification

    We migrate a representative sample of 50–200 TSP records covering customers, companies, estimates, work orders, and activities before running the full migration. The sample validates every field mapping, confirms custom object associations resolve correctly (e.g., work orders link to the right contacts and schedules), and checks that TSP timestamps appear as expected in HubSpot. We generate a field-level diff report comparing source values against the migrated HubSpot records so you can verify accuracy before committing to the full run. Sample findings are incorporated into the final mapping before the production migration proceeds.

  4. Execute full migration with delta-pickup window

    The full migration runs against the confirmed export files and HubSpot API. We migrate all customers, companies, estimates, work orders, schedules, timesheets, invoices, and activities in the sequence that resolves foreign-key dependencies — companies first, then contacts linked to companies, then estimates linked to contacts, then custom objects linked to the appropriate contacts and deals. After the primary migration completes, a delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any records that were exported or modified after the initial extraction. All operations are logged in a migration audit file for reconciliation. If reconciliation reveals missing records, we run a targeted re-migration of the affected object types before go-live.

  5. Deliver workflow rebuild reference and go-live support

    After migration, we deliver the workflow reference document listing every TSP automation in plain-language format (trigger event, conditions, actions). Your HubSpot admin uses this document to rebuild equivalent automations in HubSpot's Automation or Breeze tools. We also deliver a post-migration data summary showing record counts per object, any fields that were archived rather than migrated due to HubSpot property limits, and a list of any TSP records that could not be matched to a HubSpot destination. FlitStack AI remains available for a 48-hour post-go-live window to address any data discrepancies identified after your team begins working in HubSpot.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

Source

Strengths

  • All-in-one FSM bundle covering CRM, proposals, invoicing, and scheduling for trade contractors.
  • Month-to-month subscription with no annual contract commitment.
  • 30-day free trial with no credit card required for sign-up.
  • Integrated payment processing marketed as accelerating collections for field service businesses.
  • User permission controls differentiate back-office and field technician access levels.

Weaknesses

  • No public API documented, preventing automated integrations or programmatic data exports.
  • No published pricing tiers on the website; cost transparency requires a sales conversation.
  • Small company footprint (11–50 employees, <$5M revenue) suggests limited enterprise-scale features.
  • Support is ticket-based with no documented SLA, leading to unpredictable response times.
  • Schema is undocumented; custom fields and object relationships are not publicly described.

Strengths

  • Genuinely useful free CRM tier with no seat limit on contact records.
  • All-in-one sales engagement layer (sequences, email tracking, calling, dialer) embedded natively in the CRM, eliminating a separate integration.
  • Intuitive interface and fast onboarding for individual reps, per G2 and Capterra reviews.
  • Workflow automation triggers across contacts, deals, and tickets with a visual builder.
  • API coverage for all standard objects including custom objects at Enterprise tier.

Weaknesses

  • Pricing model is contact-based at the marketing layer — importing all records as marketing contacts can multiply the monthly bill by 4×.
  • Feature tier cliffs are frequent surprises: sequences, calling, advanced reporting, and quoting are all gated, often requiring plan upgrades mid-implementation.
  • Mandatory onboarding fees at Professional ($1,500) and Enterprise ($3,500) are not prominently disclosed on the pricing page.
  • API rate limits are restrictive for bulk migration — burst limits of 100-200 req/10sec and search endpoint limits of 4 req/sec require careful job queuing.
  • Custom objects, additional pipelines, and advanced forecasting are Enterprise-only, making cost projections difficult for growing teams.

Most Trade Service Pro to HubSpot migrations complete in 5–10 business days for accounts with under 10,000 total records (customers, estimates, work orders, schedules). Accounts with more than 50,000 records or multiple custom objects for work orders, timesheets, and invoices extend to 3–4 weeks. The TSP shutdown context can add 1–3 days for data format assessment if your export files need restructuring before mapping begins. HubSpot custom object setup and a sample migration validation run add roughly 2–3 days before the full data migration starts.
