Overview
Moving from Wice CRM to Salesforce Sales Cloud requires working around Wice's lack of a public REST API, which means all migration paths depend on CSV exports from the application UI or direct database access for on-premise installations. Wice structures data around Contacts linked to Organizations, Deals with custom pipeline stages, Projects with task hierarchies, Campaigns, and Tickets — each requiring explicit field mapping and relationship resolution before insertion into Salesforce. We export parent objects first (Organizations, then Contacts), resolve the Contact-to-Organization relationship using Wice's foreign-key linkage, and map Deals with their custom stage names to Salesforce Opportunity stages that we configure during schema design. Hold files (attachments) require a manual download step flagged separately in scoping because Wice provides no bulk binary export. Workflows, saved reports, and dashboard configurations do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of every Wice workflow and report requiring rebuild in Salesforce. Projects, tasks, and campaign history migrate as structured data with the caveat that campaign sent/open/click data depends on whether Wice's advanced campaign tracking was active.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Wice CRM object lands in Salesforce Sales Cloud, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Wice CRM
Contact
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1Wice Contacts map 1:1 to Salesforce Contacts. We export Wice contact fields (name, email, phone, address, custom properties) as a flat row and import into Salesforce Contact using the Bulk API for large sets. The link to the parent Organization is preserved by resolving the Wice organization ID to the newly inserted Salesforce Account ID. Any picklist-style custom fields require value translation against the Wice installation's picklist options.
Wice CRM
Organization
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1Wice Organizations map directly to Salesforce Account. Wice enforces a relationship between Contacts and Organizations, so we export Organizations first, insert them into Salesforce as Accounts, capture the new Salesforce Account IDs, then use those IDs as the AccountId on each Contact during import. The Wice organization name becomes Account Name; the Wice industry field maps to Industry picklist if present.
Wice CRM
Deal
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity
1:1Wice Deals map to Salesforce Opportunity. Each Deal carries pipeline stage, deal value, expected close date, and owner assignment. We capture the customer's actual Wice stage names during discovery and configure corresponding Salesforce Opportunity stages and a Sales Process before import. Closed-Lost and Closed-Won transitions are mapped to the configured StageName values.
Wice CRM
Deal Stage
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity Stage
lossyWice allows full customization of pipeline stages per installation. We configure Salesforce Opportunity Stages with names matching the customer's Wice stage names, set probability percentages matching Wice's deal-stage probabilities, and configure the stage order within a Salesforce Sales Process. Stage mapping errors are the most common cause of deal-value misrepresentations post-migration; we generate a stage-mapping table during discovery and validate it against a sample import before the full run.
Wice CRM
Project
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity (Project custom fields) or Custom Object
1:1Wice Projects contain tasks, assignees, and status fields with a project-to-task hierarchy. We map Projects to Salesforce either as Opportunities with a Project record type and custom fields (if the customer uses Salesforce for project tracking) or as a Salesforce Custom Object (Project__c) if the destination org has no pre-existing project structure. The hierarchy between Projects and Tasks must be reconstructed during import.
Wice CRM
Task (standalone and project-linked)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task
1:1Wice Tasks exist both inside Projects and standalone linked to contacts or deals. We export both contexts and reconstruct the hierarchy in Salesforce by resolving the parent reference at migration time. Standalone tasks linked to contacts or deals map directly to Salesforce Task with WhoId and WhatId resolved to the migrated Salesforce IDs. Tasks without a resolvable parent are flagged for customer review in a reconciliation report.
Wice CRM
Campaign
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Campaign
1:1Wice differentiates basic and advanced campaigns. Basic campaigns migrate as Salesforce Campaign with Name, Status, and Type. Advanced campaigns with additional targeting and tracking properties migrate to Salesforce Campaign with those properties mapped to custom Campaign fields. Campaign history (sent/open/click data) may not exist in Wice's standard export if the campaign tracking was implemented via external tools; we note this limitation during scoping and migrate whatever data is present.
Wice CRM
Ticket
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Case
1:1Wice Tickets are support tickets linked to contacts or organizations. We map ticket status, priority, and custom fields to Salesforce Case fields. If the destination Salesforce org includes Service Cloud, we map directly to Case; if not, we map to a custom Ticket__c object to preserve the record structure. Ticket numbering sequences in Wice do not carry over; Salesforce assigns its own case numbers on insert.
Wice CRM
Note
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Note
1:1Wice free-text notes attached to contacts, organizations, deals, and projects migrate to Salesforce Note records linked via ContentDocumentLink to the parent Contact, Account, Opportunity, or custom Project object. Note body migrates as plain text; any formatting (bold, lists) may be simplified depending on the destination's Note rendering. We preserve the source-object linkage in a custom field source_object__c for audit.
Wice CRM
Custom Property
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Field
1:1Wice custom fields on contacts, organizations, deals, and projects map to Salesforce custom fields. We pre-create the destination Salesforce fields (with appropriate field types: text, picklist, number, date, checkbox) via the metadata API before migration. Picklist-style custom fields require value translation if the Wice picklist values differ from any pre-existing Salesforce picklist. Standard field length limits (e.g., 255 characters for text fields) apply and we flag truncation before import.
Wice CRM
Category
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Picklist Field or Topic
lossyWice uses a category system for deduplication and classification that does not map 1:1 to tags in most destination CRMs. We export category assignments as a comma-separated custom text field on the Contact or Account, or map to a Salesforce multi-select picklist if the customer's Salesforce admin prefers that structure. The customer chooses the target strategy during scoping.
Wice CRM
Owner
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1Wice owner assignments on contacts, organizations, deals, and projects map to Salesforce User records by email match. We extract every distinct owner referenced in the Wice export, match by email against the destination Salesforce org's User table, and resolve OwnerId during import. Any Wice owner without a matching Salesforce User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. On-premise installations may require additional mapping work if owner records are not consistently tied to email addresses.

Migration approach
Discovery and migration method selection
We audit the source Wice installation across deployment type (cloud SaaS or on-premise), record counts for each object, custom field inventory, pipeline stage names, active workflow configurations, and attachment volume. For cloud deployments, we guide the customer through the built-in CSV export for contacts, organizations, and deals. For on-premise installations with database access, we inspect the database schema directly to map relationship IDs and extract binary attachments. The discovery output is a written migration scope specifying the export method, record counts, field mapping draft, and a Salesforce edition recommendation based on the customer's size and feature requirements.
CSV export coordination or database schema extraction
For cloud Wice installations, we coordinate the CSV export with the customer's Wice admin, specifying the exact fields to include in each export file to ensure relationship fields are present. For on-premise installations, we write and execute a SQL extraction script that pulls contacts, organizations, deals, projects, tasks, campaigns, tickets, and notes in dependency order. We capture the Wice internal IDs alongside the data so that parent-child relationships can be resolved during import. The export is validated against a row-count reconciliation report from the Wice admin before we proceed.
Sandbox schema design and stage mapping
We design the destination schema in a Salesforce Sandbox (Full Copy or Partial Copy). This includes creating any custom fields needed for Wice custom properties, configuring Opportunity Stages matching the customer's Wice stage names, setting stage probabilities, and creating a Sales Process if the customer uses multiple pipelines. We map Wice Organization IDs to the Account IDs we will create, and Wice owner emails to Salesforce User IDs. The schema design is validated in Sandbox with a small sample import before the full production run.
Data transformation and relationship resolution
We transform Wice CSV or SQL exports into Salesforce-compatible CSV format for Bulk API insertion. The key transformation steps are: resolving Wice Organization IDs to new Salesforce Account IDs for Contact.AccountId, resolving Wice owner emails to Salesforce OwnerId, mapping Wice deal stages to Salesforce Opportunity StageName using the stage-mapping table, mapping Wice ticket status to Salesforce Case Status, and flattening any multi-value custom properties. For multi-value category fields, we either concatenate into a text field or expand into a Salesforce multi-select picklist depending on the customer's chosen strategy.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from Wice Organizations), Contacts (with AccountId resolved), Opportunities (with AccountId, OwnerId, and stage resolved), Projects and Tasks, Campaigns, Cases, and Notes. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Attachments are uploaded to Salesforce as ContentVersion records in parallel with record migration, then linked via ContentDocumentLink to the parent record. We use the Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 with batch chunking and exponential backoff on API limit responses.
Cutover, validation, and workflow rebuild handoff
We freeze Wice writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Salesforce as the system of record. We validate record counts in Salesforce against the original Wice export totals and spot-check 25-50 records for field-level accuracy. We deliver the Wice workflow and report inventory document to the customer's admin team for rebuild in Salesforce as Reports and Flows. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Wice workflows as Salesforce Flow inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
