Overview
Moving from Wice CRM to Pipedrive is a migration that requires workaround for Wice's undocumented public API. Wice has no published REST API, so we extract data via the built-in CSV export function for cloud installations or direct database queries for on-premise deployments. We migrate Organizations first (resolving the parent-company linkage that Wice enforces), then Contacts with OrganizationId references resolved at import time, then Deals with explicit pipeline-stage mapping for each custom Wice stage. Projects and Tasks migrate with their hierarchical structure preserved. Pipedrive's visual sales pipeline, mobile app, and integration ecosystem (Zapier, Make, and 5,000+ apps) then replace Wice's modular but search-constrained interface. We do not migrate Workflows, Campaigns, Automations, or Reports as code; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in Pipedrive or a complementary tool.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Wice CRM 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.
Wice CRM
Organization
Pipedrive
Organization (Company)
1:1Wice Organization records map directly to Pipedrive Organization. The Wice Orga name becomes the Organization name, and Wice's address, phone, and custom properties map to their Pipedrive equivalents. We export Organizations first so that the Pipedrive Organization ID is available for Contact linkage resolution during the Contact import phase.
Wice CRM
Contact
Pipedrive
Person
1:1Wice Contact records map to Pipedrive Person. We resolve the Organization link (Wice's OrgaId) against the imported Organization to populate the Person's Org ID in Pipedrive. Email, phone, address, and custom fields migrate 1:1. Any Wice Contact without a valid Organization link is imported as a standalone Person with a reconciliation flag for the customer to review.
Wice CRM
Deal (Pipeline)
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1Wice Deal records map to Pipedrive Deal. Each Deal carries the Wice pipeline stage name (e.g., 'Proposal Sent', 'Negotiation'), which we explicitly map to a Pipedrive Stage within the customer's target Pipeline. Stage mapping is captured during discovery using the customer's actual Wice stage names and Pipedrive stage names as a two-column table before any Deals are written.
Wice CRM
Pipeline Stage
Pipedrive
Stage
lossyWice allows fully custom pipeline stages per installation, and these are stored as free-form values on Deal records. We capture every distinct Wice stage name present in the data during discovery and generate a Pipedrive stage-mapping table. The customer selects or creates matching Pipedrive stages in their pipeline before migration. Stage probability percentages are set on Pipedrive stages post-creation.
Wice CRM
Project
Pipedrive
Project (Activity or custom object)
lossyWice Projects contain tasks, assignees, and status fields. Pipedrive does not have a native Project object in its standard tier. We assess whether to migrate Projects as a custom object (requires Pipedrive Advanced tier or above for full custom object support) or as a set of linked Activities and Notes with a project identifier tag. The customer selects the strategy during scoping.
Wice CRM
Task (standalone and inside Project)
Pipedrive
Activity (Task)
1:1Wice Tasks linked to contacts or deals migrate as Pipedrive Activities. Tasks nested inside Projects are exported with their parent Project context preserved (as a custom field or activity note) so the hierarchy can be reconstructed in Pipedrive if the customer opts for the custom object Project migration strategy. Orphaned tasks (no contact, deal, or project link) are flagged for customer review before import.
Wice CRM
Campaign (basic and advanced)
Pipedrive
Activity (Note) or external tool
lossyWice differentiates basic and advanced campaigns with targeting and tracking properties. Pipedrive does not have a native campaign object. Basic campaign metadata (name, start/end date, type) migrates as a Note on the relevant Deals or Organizations with a 'Campaign' label. Campaign targeting lists do not map to Pipedrive lists because Pipedrive lists are contact-segmentation tools for email sequences, not campaign audience repositories. We document the campaign structure for rebuild in an email marketing tool.
Wice CRM
Ticket
Pipedrive
Activity (Note) or Helpdesk tool
lossyWice Tickets (support tickets linked to contacts or organizations) have no direct Pipedrive equivalent in the sales CRM. We migrate ticket metadata (subject, status, priority, description) as a Note on the relevant Organization or Person, or we flag the ticket count for migration to a dedicated helpdesk tool (Zendesk, Freshdesk) if the customer chooses to split support and sales tools. Ticket numbering sequences will reset in Pipedrive.
Wice CRM
Note
Pipedrive
Note
1:1Wice free-text Notes attached to contacts, organizations, deals, or projects migrate to Pipedrive Notes. The note body transfers as plain text with the original Wice attachment date preserved. Formatting (bold, lists, inline images) may be simplified depending on the destination field; we flag any notes with complex formatting for manual review post-migration.
Wice CRM
Custom Properties (Fields)
Pipedrive
Custom Fields
1:1Wice Gold-tier custom fields on contacts, organizations, deals, and projects map to Pipedrive custom fields. We create each custom field in Pipedrive (with matching type: text, number, date, dropdown, checkbox) before importing any records. Any picklist-style custom fields require a value-translation step if the Wice picklist values differ from the Pipedrive field options. We document every picklist value with its mapping during discovery.
Wice CRM
Category
Pipedrive
Label or Tag
lossyWice uses a category system for deduplication and record classification. Categories do not map 1:1 to Pipedrive Labels because Pipedrive Labels are free-form per-record tags rather than structured classification tiers. We export Wice category assignments as a custom field (comma-separated or multi-select if Pipedrive supports it for the target field type) so the customer retains the classification data and can reclassify as Labels post-migration if desired.
Wice CRM
Owner (User)
Pipedrive
User
1:1Wice Owner references on Contact, Organization, Deal, and Project records resolve by email match against the Pipedrive User table. Owners without a matching Pipedrive User go to a reconciliation queue. The customer provisions any missing Users in Pipedrive before the record import phase begins. Inactive Wice users are migrated as inactive Pipedrive Users with a note indicating the original Wice status.

Migration approach
Discovery and data extraction planning
We audit the source Wice CRM installation: cloud or on-premise deployment, Wice tier (Bronze/Silver/Gold) to identify custom field availability, record counts per object (Contacts, Organizations, Deals, Projects, Tasks, Notes, Campaigns, Tickets), and any attachment inventory. For cloud installations, we coordinate with the customer to generate CSV exports for each object. For on-premise installations, we request database read access and run a schema-discovery query to map actual table and column names. We also capture the current pipeline stage names and any custom field definitions. Discovery output is a written migration scope, extraction plan, and data-quality assessment.
Pipedrive setup and stage mapping
We create the Pipedrive account structure before any data is imported: the Organization name, pipeline(s) matching the customer's Wice pipeline count, and stage names within each pipeline. We generate a stage-mapping table using the Wice stage names from discovery and the customer's chosen Pipedrive stage names, then confirm it in writing before Deals are written. Custom fields from Wice Gold tier are pre-created in Pipedrive with matching field types. Users are provisioned in Pipedrive and matched to Wice Owner emails for resolution during import.
Data extraction, transformation, and deduplication
We process the Wice CSV exports (cloud) or database query results (on-premise) through a transformation pipeline: resolving Organization IDs for Contact linkage, splitting multi-value category fields into comma-separated strings or pipelined multi-select values, translating Wice picklist values to Pipedrive field options, and flagging orphaned records (Contacts without an Organization, Deals without an Owner) for customer review. We run deduplication on email addresses for Contacts and Organization names, flagging duplicates for the customer to resolve before import rather than importing duplicates and cleaning up post-migration.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into Pipedrive using production-like data volume. The customer's lead reconciles record counts (Organizations in, Persons in, Deals in, Activities in), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the Wice source data, and confirms the stage mapping is accurate before production migration begins. Pipedrive's native CSV import tool and the customer's Import2 subscription (if applicable) are both valid import paths; we use the path that best matches the customer's data complexity and Pipedrive plan tier.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Organizations first (establishing the parent records), then Persons with OrganizationId resolved, then Deals with StageId and OrganizationId resolved, then Activities and Notes linked to the imported records. Custom fields are imported after the base record types. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report showing records imported, skipped, and rejected with error reasons. We resolve any rejection causes before advancing to the next phase.
Cutover, validation, and handoff
We freeze Wice CRM writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Pipedrive as the system of record. We deliver the campaign, ticket, and attachment handoff inventory to the customer's admin. We do not rebuild Wice Workflows, automations, or reports in Pipedrive as part of the migration scope; that work is a separate engagement. We support a one-week post-migration window where we resolve data quality issues identified by the customer's sales team.
