Overview
Uptick organizes fire protection companies around field-service objects: Assets, Work Orders, Locations, Quotes, and Invoices tied to compliance schedules and technician dispatch. Pipedrive is built for sales-pipeline management — Persons, Organizations, Deals, Activities, Products. The migration carries over Contacts (mapped to Pipedrive Persons), Companies (mapped to Organizations), and standard address fields directly. The harder problems are Uptick's asset-register and work-order history — these have no native Pipedrive equivalent and require custom fields or custom objects to preserve compliance data, service dates, and asset-condition history. We surface these as part of the migration plan so your Pipedrive admin can pre-create the schema before data lands. Activity history (notes, completed tasks, email logs) migrates as Pipedrive Activities. Automations, compliance alerts, and dispatch rules do not migrate — they must be rebuilt using Pipedrive's Workflow Automations.
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 Uptick object lands in Pipedrive, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Uptick
Contact (Person)
Pipedrive
Person
1:1Uptick contacts map directly to Pipedrive Persons. The mapping carries over name, email, phone, mobile, job title, and address fields. Uptick contacts without a company association land in Pipedrive as standalone Persons.
Uptick
Company
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1Uptick companies map to Pipedrive Organizations. Company name, domain/website, industry, employee-count range, and address fields transfer directly. Parent-company hierarchies in Uptick map to Organization's parent-org link if the destination schema supports it.
Uptick
Asset
Pipedrive
Custom Object (Asset__c)
1:1Uptick assets (fire extinguishers, suppression systems, emergency lighting) have no Pipedrive native equivalent. We migrate them as a custom object — Asset__c — with fields for asset_name, asset_type, serial_number, location_id (linked to Organization), last_service_date, next_inspection_due, and status. Asset-type hierarchies become a custom pick-list on the custom object.
Uptick
Work Order
Pipedrive
Custom Object (WorkOrder__c)
1:1Work orders capture job type, assigned technician (linked to Person), job status, parts used, labor time in minutes, and completion timestamps. These become WorkOrder__c with a lookup to Organization (the site/location) and Person (the assigned technician). Job type values are mapped via value_mapping to a custom pick-list.
Uptick
Location
Pipedrive
Organization (Address Fields)
1:1Uptick locations store site address, property type, and building-floor details. These map to Organization address fields in Pipedrive. Multi-building or multi-floor sites where each floor is a separate location in Uptick create multiple Organization records — one per site — with the floor/location detail stored in a custom field.
Uptick
Quote
Pipedrive
Deal (with custom fields)
1:1Uptick quotes with line items (product, supplier, cost, labor time, sell price) map to Pipedrive Deals. Line items are stored as Deal custom fields or a linked Products reference. Quote status (draft, sent, accepted) becomes a Deal stage or custom pick-list value.
Uptick
Product / Service Item
Pipedrive
Product
1:1Uptick products (materials, labor types, subcontracted services) with name, unit cost, sell price, and unit of measure map directly to Pipedrive Products. Products flagged as labour or subcontracted get a custom field in Pipedrive to preserve the cost-structure detail.
Uptick
Activity / Completed Task
Pipedrive
Activity
1:1Uptick completed work-order tasks and site-visit logs migrate as Pipedrive Activities (Type: Task or Call). Original completion timestamps and assigned technician are preserved as Activity owner and due-date fields. Bulk note entries migrate as Pipedrive Notes attached to the relevant Person or Organization.
Uptick
Attachment / Photo
Pipedrive
Files (on Person/Organization/Deal)
1:1Uptick photo attachments on work orders and assets are downloaded and re-uploaded to Pipedrive Files attached to the relevant Person, Organization, or Deal record. File size limits (Pipedrive default 100MB per file) are respected during re-upload.
Uptick
Technician / Employee
Pipedrive
Person
1:1Uptick technicians appear as internal users and are also linked to work orders. Their contact details (name, email, phone) migrate as Pipedrive Persons flagged with a technician_role__c custom field. User access and Pipedrive seat assignments are handled separately from data migration.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Uptick gotchas
CSV importer is the only documented bulk migration path
Products use type codes (M/R/E/S/X) that require mapping
Telemetry location data requires explicit consent and is not migrated
Asset Type and Variant hierarchy must be replicated in destination
Photo attachments in defect quotes and reports export as file references
Pipedrive gotchas
Custom field hash keys differ per account
Export access gated by visibility groups
Token-based API rate limits since December 2024
Sequences and Automations not exposed via REST API
Cost escalates via workflow caps and add-ons
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Uptick data export and structure
We extract Uptick data via API or CSV export — whichever your Uptick plan supports — and catalogue the full object inventory: contacts, companies, assets, work orders, quotes, products, locations, and any custom fields in use. We flag orphaned records (assets without locations, contacts without companies), identify multi-level location hierarchies, and assess data quality issues before building the field-mapping plan.
Design Pipedrive custom object schema
Based on the Uptick data audit, we deliver a Pipedrive schema setup plan: custom object definitions for Asset__c and WorkOrder__c, custom field names and types, pick-list values for asset_type__c and job_type__c, and lookup relationships to Organization and Person. Your Pipedrive admin creates these before migration runs. We also map your existing Pipedrive pipelines and stages so Quote status value_mapping aligns correctly.
Resolve technician contacts and owner mapping
Uptick technicians are exported as Person records with a technician_role__c flag. We match each technician's email against existing Pipedrive users — matched users get Activity owner assignment during migration. Unmatched technicians land as read-only Person records. Unresolved contacts are flagged in the pre-migration report for manual assignment before the full run.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice migrates first — typically 100-300 records covering a sample of Persons, Organizations, Asset__c records, WorkOrder__c records, and a few Deals. We generate a field-level diff between source and destination so you can verify asset serial-number mapping, work-order technician resolution, and Quote-to-Deal value mapping before the full run commits. Issues are caught here, not after go-live.
Full migration with delta-pickup window
The full migration runs against your live Pipedrive account. A delta-pickup window (typically 24-48 hours) captures any Uptick records modified during the cutover — new work orders logged by technicians, updated asset statuses, or newly completed quotes. Audit log records every operation, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails.
