Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Wavity CRM to Odoo CRM is a platform consolidation as much as a data migration. Wavity stores Contacts, Accounts, Leads, Opportunities, and Help Desk Tickets in a unified interface with zero-code custom forms built in its application designer; Odoo models the same data across its crm.lead, res.partner, crm.team, and helpdesk modules with a REST and XML-RPC API surface. The primary technical challenge on the Wavity side is the absence of a documented bulk export endpoint, which means migrations must request CSV extracts from Wavity support and normalize them before loading into Odoo. Custom objects built with Wavity's Zero Code Application Designer have no standard schema, so we run a mandatory schema discovery call before writing a single record to Odoo. We migrate Opportunities as crm.lead records in Odoo's sales pipeline, preserve activity history as mail.message records, and map Wavity's ticket conversation threads to helpdesk.ticket messages. We do not migrate wBot RPA workflows or Wavity's pre-built analytics dashboards; we deliver written inventories of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in Odoo's studio and automation tools.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Wavity CRM logo

Wavity CRM

What's pushing teams away

  • Annual billing requirement with a 5-user minimum can lock small teams into costs for seats they do not use.
  • Lack of transparent public API documentation makes third-party integrations and data export challenging for technical teams.
  • Mid-market positioning means it may lack the advanced enterprise features — complex approval hierarchies, granular audit logs — that larger organizations require.
  • Smaller market share compared to major CRMs results in fewer third-party integrations and a less mature ecosystem of plugins.

Choosing

Odoo CRM logo

Odoo CRM

What's pulling them in

  • Teams choose Odoo CRM for its modular architecture — one base install with one-click app additions means they can adopt CRM alone and add accounting, inventory, or sales later as the business grows.
  • Small businesses pick Odoo because the Community edition is free and open-source, with no per-user or contact limits, allowing full evaluation before committing to a paid Enterprise tier.
  • The drag-and-drop Kanban pipeline and AI lead scoring are highlighted across G2 reviews as concrete features that make lead management faster and more visual than spreadsheet-based workflows.
  • Odoo's native integration with email, live chat, SMS, VoIP, and WhatsApp means inbound leads from multiple channels feed into a single pipeline without third-party middleware.
  • Companies in retail, supply chain, and construction value that Odoo's CRM module shares the same PostgreSQL database and UI as its ERP modules, eliminating data silos between sales and operations.

Object mapping

How Wavity CRM objects map to Odoo CRM

Each row shows how a Wavity CRM object lands in Odoo CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

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

Wavity CRM

Contact

maps to

Odoo CRM

res.partner (Contact type)

1:1
Fully supported

Wavity Contact records map directly to Odoo res.partner with partner_type='contact'. Standard fields (name, email, phone, mobile) migrate 1:1. Custom fields on Wavity Contact are identified during schema discovery and created as ir.model.fields in Odoo before import. The Wavity Contact-to-Company relationship (linked via the Company field on Contact) maps to partner_id on res.partner for child contacts. We set type='contact' and parent_id to the mapped Company partner record.

Wavity CRM

Account (Company)

maps to

Odoo CRM

res.partner (Company type)

1:1
Fully supported

Wavity Company/Account records map to Odoo res.partner with partner_type='company'. The company flag is set to True. Website, street, city, country, industry, and revenue fields map to Odoo standard fields. Account is created before Contact import so that the parent_id foreign key is satisfied at Contact insert time. We use the domain or company name as the dedupe key during import to prevent duplicate Account records.

Wavity CRM

Lead

maps to

Odoo CRM

crm.lead

1:1
Fully supported

Wavity Lead records map to Odoo crm.lead with type='lead'. Lead status, source attribution, and scoring values from Wavity custom fields migrate to Odoo stage_id, source_id, and priority. The lead_name field maps to Odoo's contact_name. We flag any Wavity Lead that has a closed-won status to be migrated as a crm.lead that will be manually converted to an Opportunity by the customer's admin post-migration, since automated lead-to-opportunity conversion is an Odoo workflow decision.

Wavity CRM

Opportunity

maps to

Odoo CRM

crm.lead (Opportunity type)

1:1
Fully supported

Wavity Opportunity records map to Odoo crm.lead with type='opportunity'. Deal value migrates to planned_revenue; stage name maps to stage_id by lookup; probability migrates to probability as an override if the customer wants manual probability control rather than stage-based defaults. Owner/assigned user maps via email resolution to Odoo res.users. The linked Account (Company) resolves to the mapped res.partner id before Opportunity insert.

Wavity CRM

Pipeline

maps to

Odoo CRM

crm.stage + crm.team

lossy
Fully supported

Wavity's customizable pipeline stages (name, order, probability) map to Odoo crm.stage records scoped to crm.team via team_id. Each Wavity pipeline becomes an Odoo crm.team with its own stage sequence. We extract the full stage schema during discovery and create stages in order before any Opportunity records are imported. Stage probability percentages transfer as Odoo probability values; the customer chooses at scoping whether to use stage-based or manual probability.

Wavity CRM

Task

maps to

Odoo CRM

project.task

1:1
Fully supported

Wavity Tasks with due dates, assignees, and linked Contacts or Opportunities map to Odoo project.task (type='task'). Linked Opportunities resolve to crm.lead ids. Assignee maps by email to res.users. For tasks without a project association in Wavity, we create a default migration project in Odoo to host them. Completion status, priority, and description migrate as Task fields.

Wavity CRM

Appointment

maps to

Odoo CRM

calendar.event

1:1
Fully supported

Wavity Calendar Appointments map to Odoo calendar.event. Start datetime, end datetime, duration, location, and attendees transfer directly. Attendees resolve by email to res.partner records. For appointments linked to a Wavity Contact or Opportunity, we create calendar.event records with res.partner attendees and link via the event's opportunity_id or partner_id fields. Timezone handling is preserved to avoid scheduling offset errors.

Wavity CRM

Ticket (Help Desk)

maps to

Odoo CRM

helpdesk.ticket

1:1
Fully supported

Wavity Help Desk Tickets migrate to Odoo helpdesk.ticket. Ticket subject, description, priority, status, and assignee map to Odoo standard fields. Wavity's ticket conversation thread (customer and agent messages) migrates as helpdesk.ticket.message_ids (mail.message records linked to the ticket). Attachments from the Wavity ticket attach to Odoo ir.attachment records linked via res_id/res_model to the ticket. Custom ticket fields identified during schema discovery are created in Odoo's helpdesk.ticket model before import.

Wavity CRM

Custom Object (Zero Code Designer)

maps to

Odoo CRM

Custom ir.model model

1:1
Fully supported

Wavity custom objects built with the Zero Code Application Designer have no standard schema and no export format. We schedule a schema discovery session to document every custom object, field type, validation rule, and inter-object relationship before migration. Each custom object is then reimplemented as an Odoo ir.model inheriting from mail.thread, with all custom fields created as ir.model.fields before data import. Relationship fields between custom objects and standard objects (Contact, Account, Opportunity) are mapped as many2one or one2many Odoo fields. This is the highest-risk phase of any Wavity migration and requires customer validation before proceeding.

Wavity CRM

User / Team Member

maps to

Odoo CRM

res.users

1:1
Fully supported

Wavity User records map to Odoo res.users by email match. We extract every distinct user referenced on Contacts, Opportunities, Tasks, and Tickets and reconcile them against the destination Odoo instance's user list. Inactive Wavity users are flagged to the customer's admin for decision (do not provision vs provision as inactive). Login and password are not migrated; Odoo sends a welcome email to each provisioned user at migration cutover. User roles and permissions are documented and handed off as a configuration guide for the customer's Odoo admin.

Wavity CRM

Document / Attachment

maps to

Odoo CRM

ir.attachment

1:1
Fully supported

File attachments stored in Wavity are exported as binary files and re-uploaded to Odoo as ir.attachment records. The attachment-to-record linkage is preserved by storing the original Wavity record type and ID in ir.attachment.res_id and res_model fields so that each document remains associated with the correct Contact, Account, Opportunity, or Ticket. We normalize file names and deduplicate by content hash during ingestion.

Wavity CRM

Lead Scoring

maps to

Odoo CRM

crm.lead (custom fields)

lossy
Fully supported

Wavity's lead scoring values are stored as custom numeric or selection fields on the Lead object. These migrate as custom fields on crm.lead in Odoo. Odoo does not include a native lead scoring engine in the base CRM module, so the scoring values are preserved as data for the customer's admin to use in Odoo Studio reports or to integrate with a third-party scoring tool. We document the original scoring formula and field names for reference.

Wavity CRM

Reports / Dashboards

maps to

Odoo CRM

Not migrated

lossy
Not supported

Wavity's pre-built sales dashboards and custom analytics built in the Zero Code Analytics Designer are not exportable in structured form. We do not migrate them. The underlying data (Contacts, Opportunities, Activities) is migrated so that equivalent reports can be rebuilt in Odoo using the Pivot, Graph, and Kanban views or Odoo Studio. We deliver a written inventory of every Wavity dashboard, its constituent charts, and the underlying data objects it references, so the customer's admin has a rebuild guide.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Wavity has no documented public API or bulk export endpoint

    Wavity does not publish a REST API or bulk data export endpoint in its public developer documentation. This means we cannot pull data programmatically and must coordinate with Wavity's sales and technical contacts to request structured CSV exports from the UI. Not all Wavity modules expose data in exportable CSV format; Help Desk Tickets and custom objects may require manual export workflows or support-assisted extraction. We flag the exportable data scope during discovery and build a normalization pipeline for the extracted CSV files before loading into Odoo. This adds a coordination step not present in migrations from platforms with documented APIs.

  • Zero Code custom objects lack schema documentation and export format

    Wavity's Zero Code Application Designer creates custom objects with schemas that do not map to any standard CRM object model and have no standardized export format. Teams that have built custom objects for industry-specific data (Equipment, Properties, Subscriptions, Projects) face a full schema discovery and reimplementation effort in Odoo. We schedule a mandatory schema review call to document every custom object, field type, validation rule, and inter-object relationship before writing a single record to the destination. This phase can extend the migration timeline by 1-2 weeks depending on the number and complexity of custom objects.

  • Wavity's wBot RPA workflows do not migrate to Odoo automation

    Wavity's built-in RPA (wBots) creates workflow automations that operate at the application level with screen-scraping and bot-like actions not representable in Odoo's ORM-based automation model. We do not migrate wBots as code. We deliver a written inventory of every active Wavity automation with its trigger, conditions, and actions, plus a recommended Odoo equivalent (server action, scheduled action, or Studio workflow). The customer's Odoo admin or an Odoo implementation partner rebuilds these post-migration. Teams relying heavily on wBot automations should factor rebuild effort into their migration timeline.

  • Odoo CRM requires module-level subscription; Community edition lacks support

    Odoo's CRM app requires a paid subscription ($30/user/mo on the Online and.sh hosting plans) to access automatic updates, the Odoo Apps store, and support. The self-hosted Community edition is free but includes no support, no automatic security patches, and no access to Odoo Studio for visual customization. Teams migrating from Wavity's supported Professional tier should confirm their Odoo hosting plan before migration begins. We include the hosting plan decision in the scoping phase and flag that Community edition migrations exclude support-assisted update assistance.

  • Odoo support quality is a known pain point in the community

    Reddit and community discussions consistently cite Odoo's post-sale customer support as a weakness, with long response times and inconsistent quality across partners. Teams coming from Wavity's supported Professional tier should plan for a hybrid support model: Odoo for platform updates and bug tracking, an Odoo partner for implementation and custom development, and potentially FlitStack AI for future migration and integration work. We document the support escalation path during migration handoff and recommend establishing a primary Odoo partner relationship before go-live.

  • Wavity's 5-user minimum and annual billing may obscure true data volume

    Wavity's $30/user/mo annual pricing with a 5-user minimum means small teams often have licenses for users who are not active, and the actual active user count may be lower than the billed count. During discovery we reconcile the user list against actual logins and ticket/activity ownership to determine which Wavity users should be provisioned as Odoo users. Provisioning inactive Wavity users in Odoo inflates the Odoo subscription cost. We flag the active-user gap during scoping so the customer can rightsize their Odoo seat count.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Wavity CRM to Odoo CRM data migration

  1. Discovery and data export coordination with Wavity

    We audit the Wavity portal across all modules: Contacts, Accounts, Leads, Opportunities, Pipelines, Tasks, Appointments, Tickets, and any Zero Code custom objects. Because Wavity lacks a documented API, we coordinate directly with Wavity's sales and technical contacts to request structured CSV exports for each module. We document the exportable scope, identify any modules that require manual or support-assisted extraction, and build a normalization pipeline to convert Wavity CSV output into a clean, typed import format. The discovery output is a written migration scope, data export checklist, and a list of any Wavity modules that require alternative extraction methods.

  2. Schema discovery for custom objects

    For teams using Wavity's Zero Code Application Designer, we schedule a dedicated schema discovery session to document every custom object, field type (text, number, date, picklist, relationship), validation rule, and inter-object relationship. We map each Wavity custom object to an Odoo ir.model with equivalent fields and relationships. Custom objects inheriting from mail.thread gain the full Odoo chatter and messaging capability. This step is mandatory before any data import begins because Odoo's ORM requires the target model to exist before records can be inserted. The customer validates the reconstructed schema in a sandbox environment before we proceed to data migration.

  3. Odoo configuration: teams, stages, and custom fields

    We configure the destination Odoo CRM environment before any data loads. This includes creating crm.team records matching the Wavity pipeline structure, crm.stage records with the correct name, sequence, and probability per team, and any custom fields on crm.lead, res.partner, and helpdesk.ticket that correspond to Wavity custom fields. For the Help Desk module we configure ticket sequences, team assignment rules, and SLA policies if they were used in Wavity. All configuration is validated in an Odoo staging environment before production migration begins. We coordinate with the customer's Odoo admin to ensure the migration user has write access to all target models.

  4. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into an Odoo sandbox or development database using production-like data volume. The customer reconciles record counts across all objects (Contacts in, Accounts in, Leads in, Opportunities in, Tasks in, Tickets in, Custom Objects in), spot-checks 25-50 records against the Wavity source data, and validates that custom field values transferred correctly. Pipeline stage mappings, owner assignments, and attachment linkages are verified during this phase. Any mapping corrections are documented and applied to the production migration script. The customer signs off on the sandbox reconciliation before we schedule the production migration window.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: res.partner (Company type) first as the parent for all Contact and Opportunity records; res.partner (Contact type) second with parent_id resolved; crm.team and crm.stage configuration records; crm.lead (Lead and Opportunity type) with stage_id, partner_id, and user_id resolved; project.task for Tasks; calendar.event for Appointments; helpdesk.ticket with conversation threads migrated as mail.message records; ir.attachment for all linked files. Custom object records are loaded last because they may have foreign-key relationships to standard objects. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use Odoo's XML-RPC API with batch chunking and validation at each phase.

  6. Cutover, validation, and automation handoff

    We freeze writes in Wavity during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration run, then enable Odoo as the system of record. We validate record counts, attachment linkage, and custom field completeness against the Wavity source in a post-migration QA pass. We deliver the wBot automation inventory, the Wavity dashboard-to-Odoo report rebuild guide, and the custom object schema documentation to the customer's Odoo admin. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Wavity wBot automations as Odoo server actions or Studio workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.

Destination

Strengths

  • Modular open-source architecture lets teams start with CRM and add ERP apps as needs grow, all sharing one PostgreSQL database.
  • Free Community edition with no contact limits and full source code access means zero licensing cost for evaluation and small deployments.
  • Drag-and-drop Kanban pipeline with AI lead scoring gives a visual, prioritized view of the sales funnel without requiring custom configuration.
  • Native integrations with email, live chat, SMS, VoIP, WhatsApp, and social media feed all inbound leads into a single unified inbox.
  • Active Odoo Community Association (OCA) maintains dozens of community-maintained modules on GitHub for extended functionality.

Weaknesses

  • Gmail and email integration reliability is a recurring complaint — threads drop and conversations scatter across inboxes, disrupting sales team workflows.
  • Enterprise edition pricing stacks quickly: multiple apps at per-user rates ($25–$50/user/month) plus Odoo.sh hosting costs more than many SMBs anticipate.
  • Setup and configuration complexity increases significantly once custom fields, automation rules, and multiple installed modules are in play.
  • Odoo.sh trial databases run on a version (e.g., 18.3) that is not directly migratable to Odoo.sh, blocking the assisted migration path Odoo advertises.
  • Version upgrades between major Odoo releases (e.g., 17→18) frequently break custom module view definitions and XPath expressions, requiring manual remediation.

Most migrations land between four and six weeks for accounts under 15,000 contacts and 3,000 opportunities with no custom objects built in Wavity's Zero Code Designer. Migrations with multiple custom objects, complex inter-object relationships, large Help Desk ticket histories, or multi-pipeline structures extend to eight to twelve weeks because of the mandatory schema discovery phase for custom objects and the coordination required to extract structured data from Wavity's UI-based export system. The Wavity data export coordination step adds one to two weeks to the discovery phase that is not present in migrations from platforms with documented APIs.
