Overview
Workiz is a field-service management platform built around jobs, clients, leads, estimates, and invoices. Freshsales CRM is built around leads, contacts, accounts, opportunities, and products. The migration requires translating Workiz's job-centric data model into Freshsales's contact-account-opportunity hierarchy. Workiz clients with service addresses map to Freshsales accounts (with address data) and contacts (with phone and email). Workiz jobs — with status, scheduled time, assigned technician, job type, and service address — have no native equivalent in Freshsales; we migrate them as a custom Job module or map job data into Freshsales deals with custom fields. Workiz leads map 1:1 to Freshsales leads. Estimates and invoices migrate as custom documents or line items under Freshsales deals. Workiz automations, GPS tracking rules, and dispatch configurations cannot migrate and must be rebuilt in Freshsales using Freshsales's workflow builder. FlitStack uses the Freshsales REST API and bulk import endpoints to move data, sequencing the load so foreign keys resolve in the correct order: accounts first, then contacts, then leads, then deals with custom job data attached.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Workiz 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.
Workiz
Client
Freshsales
Contact
1:1Workiz clients map directly to Freshsales contacts. Email, phone, mobile phone, and address fields carry over as standard Freshsales contact fields. Clients without a company association land as standalone contacts — if the client represents a business entity, the company name should map to the Freshsales Account Name and the contact linked via AccountId.
Workiz
Client
Freshsales
Account
1:1Workiz clients that represent companies (with business address, domain, and multiple service locations) map to Freshsales accounts. Business name maps to Account Name, business address maps to Account Address fields, and domain maps to Website. The client's primary contact becomes a Freshsales Contact linked to the Account via AccountId lookup.
Workiz
Lead
Freshsales
Lead
1:1Workiz leads map 1:1 to Freshsales leads — all lead fields including name, email, phone, source, and custom lead fields transfer directly. Freshsales lead status pick-list values (New, Contacted, Qualified, Unqualified) map from Workiz lead status. Lead scoring from Workiz Genius Leads (if applicable) migrates as a custom numeric field in Freshsales.
Workiz
Job
Freshsales
Custom Job Module (Freshsales)
1:1Workiz jobs have no native equivalent in Freshsales CRM. FlitStack creates a custom Job module in Freshsales with fields for job status, job type, scheduled start and end time, assigned technician (user lookup), service address, client link, and description. This custom module is linked to the Freshsales Contact representing the Workiz client. Jobs can also be mapped into Opportunities as deals with custom job-type fields for teams that prefer a single-object view.
Workiz
Job Status
Freshsales
Custom Field: Job_Status__c (on Job module)
1:1Workiz job status values (Scheduled, En Route, In Progress, Completed, Cancelled) migrate as a pick-list custom field on the custom Job module in Freshsales. These are preserved exactly as written in Workiz with no value transformation — the pick-list is created to match the source values.
Workiz
Job Type / Service Category
Freshsales
Custom Field: Job_Type__c (on Job module)
1:1Workiz job type (the service performed — e.g., HVAC repair, plumbing, electrical) maps as a text or pick-list custom field on the custom Job module. If Workiz uses a controlled vocabulary for job types, those values are reproduced as pick-list options in Freshsales. If job types are free-form, they migrate as text fields.
Workiz
Technician / Assigned User
Freshsales
User lookup on Job module
1:1Workiz technicians are mapped to Freshsales users by email match. The technician's name in Workiz becomes a User lookup field on the custom Job module. Unmatched technicians are flagged during pre-migration validation — your Freshsales admin either creates matching user accounts first or assigns those jobs to a fallback user.
Workiz
Estimate
Freshsales
Opportunity Line Items / Custom Estimate Module
1:manyWorkiz estimates contain a client link, job details, line items (service + product), and a total. In Freshsales, the estimate can become a custom Estimate module or be split: the client and high-level scope map to an Opportunity (with amount = estimate total), and line items map to Product records linked as Opportunity Line Items. We recommend the custom Estimate module approach for audit continuity.
Workiz
Invoice
Freshsales
Opportunity (with Amount) + Custom Invoice Module
1:1Workiz invoices (issued after job completion) map to Freshsales as a custom Invoice module linked to the Job and Contact, with invoice number, issue date, due date, line items, and total amount preserved. The invoice total can also update the linked Opportunity amount. Paid invoices carry a 'Paid' status custom field; unpaid invoices carry 'Open' or 'Overdue' status migrated from Workiz.
Workiz
Item / Product
Freshsales
Product
1:1Workiz line items and products (parts, labor rates, service packages) map to Freshsales Products with Name, Unit Price, and Description. Products are then linked to Opportunity Line Items during estimate and invoice migration. Product inventory data from Workiz (if tracked) migrates as a custom numeric field on the Product record.
Workiz
Workiz Automations
Freshsales
Freshsales Workflows (manual rebuild)
1:1Workiz automations (job-triggered alerts, client reminders, tech assignment rules) have no migration path to Freshsales. We export your Workiz automation definitions as a structured reference document that your Freshsales admin or FlitStack consultant uses to rebuild equivalent rules in Freshsales Workflows (available on Growth and above). This is a manual rebuild step outside the data migration scope.
Workiz
GPS / Location Tracking
Freshsales
Not migrated (Freshsales has no native GPS tracking)
1:1Workiz GPS tracking data (technician locations, route history) is not applicable to Freshsales CRM. Freshsales does not have a field-service dispatch or GPS module. If GPS history is business-critical, it should be exported from Workiz as a separate report before the migration cutover and archived independently.

Migration approach
Audit Workiz data export and plan Freshsales custom module schema
FlitStack exports all Workiz data using a combination of Workiz's native CSV export and API-based reads where available. We catalog every Workiz object — clients, jobs, leads, estimates, invoices, and items — and count custom fields on each. We then design the Freshsales custom Job module and custom Estimate/Invoice modules based on your specific Workiz field configuration. This schema plan is delivered for your Freshsales admin to pre-create before the migration run, ensuring field limits and module availability are confirmed against your Freshsales plan tier.
Pre-create Freshsales users and resolve technician-to-user mappings
Workiz technicians and admin users are mapped to Freshsales users by email match. Before migration, FlitStack validates every Workiz user email against your Freshsales user list and flags any unmatched technicians. Your admin either creates Freshsales user accounts for those technicians or designates a fallback user for job assignments. Owner resolution for Freshsales leads, contacts, and deals follows the same email-match process. This step prevents records from landing with null owner assignments.
Migrate accounts and contacts before jobs and leads
Freshsales requires Account records to exist before Contacts can be linked via AccountId, and it requires Contacts to exist before Opportunities can reference them via Opportunity Contact Roles. FlitStack sequences the migration in dependency order: Accounts first, then Contacts, then Leads, then the custom Job module, then Estimates and Invoices. This ensures that every lookup relationship resolves correctly in Freshsales without orphaned records. The custom Job module is loaded after contacts so that every job record can reference its client contact.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff and verify job module linkage
A representative slice of Workiz records — typically 100–500 spanning clients, jobs, leads, estimates, and invoices — migrates first into your Freshsales sandbox or trial account. FlitStack generates a field-level diff showing every source value and its destination equivalent, including the custom Job module fields, the contact linkage on each job, and the estimate/invoice totals. You verify that job status values, technician assignments, and service addresses land correctly in Freshsales before the full migration commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and audit log
The full Workiz dataset migrates to your production Freshsales account using the sequenced object load (Accounts → Contacts → Leads → Job Module → Estimates → Invoices → Products). A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours runs concurrently with your final Workiz operations, capturing any new jobs, updated invoices, or new leads created during the cutover window. FlitStack produces an audit log of every record migrated, its source ID, destination ID, and timestamp. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation reveals data integrity issues after go-live.
