Overview
Verenia CPQ is no longer a live system, which fundamentally shapes this migration: there is no API to query, no active login, and no incremental sync possible. All work depends on whatever export artifacts the customer retained before the Oracle shutdown in 2025. We extract Quotes, Orders, Products, Contacts, and Companies from archived CSV files, CSV bundles, or integration logs, normalize them into Freshsales-compatible format, and load via Freshsales CSV import or API. The critical distinction is that Verenia was a Configure-Price-Quote system and Freshsales is a standard CRM. Quotes map to Deals (Opportunities) or the Freshsales Quotes object if the Pro plan is active. Product configurations and guided-selling logic cannot transfer as executable rules; we extract them as structured metadata and deliver a written inventory for manual rebuild. Quote numbering, order numbering, and configuration IDs do not carry over to Freshsales, which assigns its own auto-increment identifiers. We flag all of these explicitly during scoping and deliver a cross-reference table mapping old identifiers to new ones for audit purposes.
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 Verenia object lands in Freshsales, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Verenia
Contact
Freshsales
Contact
1:1Verenia Contact records map directly to Freshsales Contact. Standard fields (first_name, last_name, email, phone, company) map to Freshsales Contact equivalents. Custom contact properties are handled via field-level mapping against Freshsales custom fields. The Freshsales Contact object serves as the primary person record; we create Contacts before Deals to satisfy lookup dependencies.
Verenia
Company / Account
Freshsales
Account
1:1Verenia Company records map to Freshsales Account. Company name, address, industry, and website fields map directly. The company-to-contact relationship is preserved via Freshsales Account-Contact lookup so that viewing an Account shows associated Contacts. If the Verenia export contains a company domain, it populates the Freshsales Website field.
Verenia
Quote
Freshsales
Deal or Quote
1:manyVerenia Quotes map to Freshsales Deals on Growth plan ($9/user) because the Quotes object is only available on Pro ($39/user) and Enterprise. If the customer is on Pro or Enterprise, we use Freshsales Quotes directly. On Growth, Quote fields (line items, totals, status, customer association) map to Deal custom fields or Notes, and we deliver a written mapping table for the customer to configure the Deal form as a quote proxy. Original Verenia Quote numbers are preserved in a custom field verenia_quote_number__c for audit cross-reference.
Verenia
Order
Freshsales
Deal
1:1Verenia Orders map to Freshsales Deals with Closed Won stage where applicable. Order totals, dates, and line items map to Deal fields or related Product records. Pending Orders map to Deals in the appropriate pipeline stage. The original Verenia Order number is preserved in a custom field verenia_order_number__c. Configuration data nested within Orders is extracted as structured metadata and attached to the Deal as Notes or a custom field, since Freshsales does not natively support CPQ configuration records.
Verenia
Product Configuration
Freshsales
Product + Custom Fields
lossyVerenia guided-selling rules and product configuration logic do not transfer as executable rules to Freshsales, which has no native CPQ configuration engine. We extract configuration metadata as structured records (bundle components, compatibility constraints, pricing tiers) and load them as Notes attached to the relevant Product records or as custom fields on Products. The customer receives a written configuration inventory documenting which rules require manual rebuild in Freshsales Product or a third-party CPQ app if the Pro/Enterprise plan's CPQ add-on is activated.
Verenia
Product
Freshsales
Product2
1:1Verenia Product catalog items map to Freshsales Product2 records. Product name, SKU (hs_sku equivalent), unit price, and description map directly. Pricing rules, discount tiers, and bundle pricing from Verenia are not preserved as executable rules in Freshsales; we document them as structured metadata on the Product2 record so they can be re-implemented manually. Price Book entries are created in Freshsales to support the Product-to-Deal pricing model.
Verenia
User
Freshsales
User
1:1Verenia User records map to Freshsales User for Owner assignment purposes. We match by email address. Any Verenia User without a matching Freshsales User is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before Deal and Contact import. Inactive Verenia users are mapped to inactive Freshsales Users to preserve historical assignment.
Verenia
Attachment
Freshsales
Attachment / File
1:1Quote PDFs, order confirmations, and configuration screenshots extracted from Verenia archived exports are loaded into Freshsales as File attachments linked to the parent record (Contact, Account, or Deal). File naming conventions vary across Verenia export artifacts; we normalize file paths and attach each document to the correct parent record using the document metadata from the export.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Export artifact inventory and scoping
We work with the customer to locate and inventory all available Verenia export artifacts: CSV files, archived zip bundles, NetSuite integration logs, or any browser-cached reports from before the 2025 shutdown. We assess artifact completeness (which objects are present, record counts, date ranges, formatting consistency) and confirm scope before issuing a written migration proposal. If no export artifacts are available, we provide a data entry template scoped to the customer's re-entry requirements rather than a data migration engagement.
Data cleansing and field mapping design
We stage all export artifacts and assess data quality: duplicate records, missing required fields, inconsistent date formats, and orphaned relationships. We design a field mapping document mapping each Verenia object and field to its Freshsales equivalent, including custom fields created in Freshsales to accommodate Verenia-specific data (verenia_quote_number__c, verenia_order_number__c, configuration_metadata__c). We present the mapping document for customer review and sign-off before any load begins.
Freshsales account setup and custom field provisioning
We configure Freshsales custom fields to match the Verenia field mapping, create Product2 records from the Verenia product catalog, and set up Price Book entries for the product-to-deal pricing model. If the customer is on Pro or Enterprise and activating the CPQ add-on, we configure the Quotes object and any required price book structures. We do not configure workflow automations or Freshsales Flows as part of the standard migration scope.
Sandbox load and reconciliation
We run a test migration into a Freshsales sandbox or a fresh account using a representative subset of Verenia export data. The customer reconciles record counts (Contacts in, Accounts in, Deals in, Products in) against the source export and spot-checks 15-25 records field by field. We correct any mapping errors identified during reconciliation before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We load production data in record-dependency order: Accounts (from Verenia Companies), Contacts (with Account lookup resolved), Products and Price Books, Deals (with Owner assignment resolved by email match), Attachments (linked to parent records), and configuration metadata (as Notes or custom fields on Products). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We flag any records that fail validation and deliver a failure log for customer review.
Cutover, validation, and CPQ rebuild handoff
We deliver the production migration report with record counts, failure logs, and the old-identifier-to-new-identifier cross-reference table. We deliver the written configuration inventory documenting all Verenia guided-selling rules and product configuration logic for manual rebuild. We do not rebuild automations, workflows, or CPQ logic as part of the standard migration scope. We offer a one-week post-migration support window for reconciliation issues and can scope a separate CPQ rebuild engagement if the customer requires guided-selling logic re-implementation.
