Overview
Moving from Wintouch CRM to Monday.com CRM is a platform-class migration — from a Java-based IBM iSeries application to a browser-native SaaS work OS with a built-in CRM layer. Wintouch stores data on AS/400 infrastructure, which means exported records often carry legacy date conventions, non-standard address formats, and inconsistent custom field naming accumulated over years of per-organization customization. Monday.com CRM uses a board-and-column data model rather than traditional CRM objects, so every Wintouch entity (Contacts, Accounts, Deals, Activities) must map to Items and Columns on Monday boards rather than to typed CRM objects. We extract via the available Wintouch UI export path, apply data cleansing and normalization before import, resolve owner assignments against Monday.com workspace members, and load via Monday.com's native board import tools. Wintouch automation triggers, workflow rules, report definitions, and lead-to-contact conversion logic are application-layer configuration and do not export as record data — we document them for the customer's admin to rebuild in Monday.com's automation recipes.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Wintouch CRM object lands in monday CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Wintouch CRM
Contact
monday CRM
Contact Items on a Contacts board
1:1Wintouch Contact records export via the UI export path. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address) map to corresponding Monday.com columns. Custom fields identified during scoping map to custom columns on the Contacts board. Email validation and phone number formatting are normalized before import because Wintouch address data may contain legacy formatting from the AS/400 export. International addresses are flagged — Wintouch's geo-enrichment is North America only, so any non-US/Canada contact records are imported with address columns intact but without latitude/longitude coordinates.
Wintouch CRM
Account
monday CRM
Companies board (Monday CRM native)
1:1Wintouch Account records map to Monday.com's built-in Companies CRM entity, which functions as a shared company record that Items (Contacts and Deals) can link to. B2B and B2C account types map to a custom Account Type column. Multiple contacts per account are preserved by linking each Contact Item to the Company Item via the CRM link column.
Wintouch CRM
Deal
monday CRM
Deals Items on a Deals board
1:1Wintouch Deal records map to Monday.com Deal Items on a Deals board. Deal stage maps to the Board Group that represents the pipeline stage. Pipeline stage names and ordering are defined as Monday.com Groups before migration; each Wintouch dealstage value is mapped to a Group name. Historical stage change records are preserved as a text column (Stage History) rather than a native audit log, since Monday.com does not maintain a structured stage-change timeline.
Wintouch CRM
Activity (Tasks and scheduled work)
monday CRM
Activity Items or subitems on Deal/Contact boards
1:1Wintouch Activities capture completed tasks and scheduled work. These migrate as Items or subitems on the relevant Monday.com board. Activity date formats (Wintouch may use legacy AS/400 date conventions) are normalized to ISO 8601 before import. Owner assignment in Wintouch maps to a Monday.com Team Member column; the customer's admin provisions workspace members before migration so the lookup resolves correctly.
Wintouch CRM
Custom Fields (per-object)
monday CRM
Custom Columns on relevant boards
lossyWintouch allows per-object custom field creation on Contacts, Activities, Accounts, and Leads. Each custom field is identified individually during discovery scoping, typed (text, dropdown, date, number), and mapped to a Monday.com custom column of equivalent type. Fields with no Monday.com equivalent (e.g., legacy AS/400-specific data types) are archived in a reference document rather than silently dropped. The full custom field inventory with mapping decisions is signed off by the customer before data migration begins.
Wintouch CRM
Pipeline Stages
monday CRM
Board Groups
lossyWintouch pipeline stages are customizable per organization. Stage names and ordering are mapped explicitly to Monday.com Board Groups before migration. The probability percentage associated with each stage is stored as a custom Number column on the Deals board for reporting purposes. Historical deal stage history is preserved as a text column on each Deal Item.
Wintouch CRM
Lead (generation and web forms)
monday CRM
Lead Items on a Leads board
1:1Wintouch Lead records map to Items on a dedicated Leads board in Monday.com. Lead-to-contact conversion logic (a workflow trigger in Wintouch) does not migrate as automation — the customer's admin rebuilds this using Monday.com's Recipe automations post-migration. We document the existing conversion rule during scoping so the automation design is informed by the original behavior.
Wintouch CRM
Attachments
monday CRM
File column on Items
1:1File attachments stored within Wintouch are not covered by a documented bulk export endpoint. We extract available attachments via available file paths identified during discovery and map them to the File column on the corresponding Contact or Activity Item in Monday.com. Attachments that cannot be retrieved from the Wintouch file store are flagged in the migration handoff document with the filename and parent record for manual handling.
Wintouch CRM
Owner (user assignment)
monday CRM
Team Member column
1:1Wintouch owners are referenced by ID on Contacts, Accounts, Deals, and Activities. We resolve each owner by email against Monday.com workspace members. Any Wintouch owner without a matching Monday.com user is placed in a reconciliation queue; the customer's admin provisions the missing workspace member before record import continues. This step gates the migration because owner assignment is required on most Monday.com CRM entities.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and extraction path design
We audit the Wintouch instance across all object types (Contacts, Accounts, Deals, Activities, Leads, Custom Fields) and determine the available extraction method for each. Because Wintouch has no bulk API, we design a file-based extraction path: UI exports for contact records, screen exports or available file paths for attachments, and manual export steps for custom field inventories. We also capture the pipeline stage structure, owner list, and any known legacy formatting patterns from the IBM iSeries environment. The discovery output is a written extraction plan with record counts per object and a custom field inventory.
Monday.com board structure design
We design the Monday.com CRM board structure before any data moves. This includes creating a Contacts board with CRM-specific column types (Email, Phone, CRM Link to Companies), a Companies board for the CRM-native company entity, a Deals board with Groups representing pipeline stages, and any additional boards needed for custom field data. We configure the CRM link columns to establish the Contact-Company and Deal-Contact-Company relationships that mirror the Wintouch relational schema. Owner assignment maps to the Monday.com Team Member column, and the customer provisions all necessary workspace members.
Data cleansing and transformation
We run all exported Wintouch data through a transformation layer before Monday.com import. This includes date format normalization (AS/400 date codes to ISO 8601), phone number validation and formatting, address field splitting and standardization (Street, City, State, Postal Code, Country), custom field type mapping (dropdown values to Monday.com Status columns, free text to Text columns), and deduplication checks on Contacts and Accounts. Any records with missing required fields are flagged in a pre-import reconciliation report for the customer's admin to resolve before the import phase begins.
Staging import and reconciliation
We run a full import into a staging copy of the Monday.com workspace using production-like data volumes. The customer reconciles record counts, spot-checks 25-50 random records against the Wintouch source (especially custom field values and activity timestamps), and validates that CRM links between Contacts, Companies, and Deals resolve correctly. Any mapping corrections happen in the staging environment before production import begins. This step is critical because Monday.com's board model means relational integrity (linking Items to Companies) is established during import and is harder to repair post-load than a traditional CRM object model.
Production import in dependency order
We run production import in record-dependency order: Companies first (since Contacts and Deals link to them), then Contacts (with Company CRM links resolved), then Leads, then Deals (with Contact and Company links resolved), then Activities and Tasks. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. Owner assignments are resolved against the provisioned Monday.com workspace members at each phase. Attachments are imported after their parent records are confirmed in Monday.com.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Wintouch write access during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then set Monday.com as the system of record. We deliver the automation inventory document (all documented Wintouch workflow triggers with recommended Monday.com Recipe equivalents) to the customer's admin. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Wintouch automations as Monday.com Recipes inside the migration scope — that is an admin task or a separate Monday.com implementation engagement.
