Overview
Teams migrate from YetiForce CRM to HubSpot to escape the administrative overhead of a self-hosted system — server maintenance, manual security patches, version upgrades, and a sprawling 80-module ecosystem that grows harder to govern as the team scales. YetiForce stores records across deeply customizable modules including Companies, Contacts, Leads, Potentials (deals), Trouble Tickets, Projects, and Products, all linked by a flexible multi-object relationship system. HubSpot models the same business entities in a flatter object graph: Companies, Contacts, Deals, and custom objects with a fixed association model. The core migration challenge is mapping YetiForce's breadth into HubSpot's narrower object vocabulary. Projects and Trouble Tickets have no native HubSpot equivalent — they require either HubSpot Service Hub (for tickets) or custom objects created in advance by your admin. YetiForce instances typically accumulate 30–80+ custom fields per object; each one maps to a HubSpot custom property, and pick-list fields require value-by-value translation since the options rarely match. We sequence the migration so parent objects migrate before child objects, owner resolution happens via email matching against HubSpot users, and original timestamps are preserved as custom datetime properties since HubSpot sets CreatedDate at import time. We migrate via HubSpot's Contacts API v3 and batch-import endpoints, with file attachments re-uploaded to HubSpot's file manager. The data migrates cleanly; the business logic — YetiForce's PHP-based workflows, field-level validation rules, and approval chains — does not and must be rebuilt in HubSpot's automation tools after go-live.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a YetiForce CRM object lands in HubSpot, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
YetiForce CRM
Company
HubSpot
Company
1:1YetiForce Companies map 1:1 to HubSpot Companies. Company name, domain, industry, employee count, and annual revenue transfer as HubSpot default properties. Parent-child company hierarchies in YetiForce map to HubSpot's parent company field. Multi-company associations that YetiForce supports require HubSpot to use a primary company with additional associations stored as custom properties.
YetiForce CRM
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1YetiForce Contacts map directly to HubSpot Contacts. First name, last name, email, phone, mobile phone, job title, and address fields transfer as HubSpot default properties. The owner's email resolves to a HubSpot user ID for assignment. Original YetiForce create dates preserve as a custom datetime property since HubSpot sets CreatedDate at import time.
YetiForce CRM
Lead
HubSpot
Contact / Lead
1:manyYetiForce Leads split by lifecycle intent. Leads with active engagement history and sales touchpoints become HubSpot Contacts with a custom lifecycle-stage property set to reflect YetiForce lead status. Cold, unqualified leads that have received no outreach become HubSpot Leads, which the sales team qualifies and converts manually post-migration. The split rule is configurable per migration plan.
YetiForce CRM
Potential (Deal)
HubSpot
Deal
1:1YetiForce Potentials map to HubSpot Deals. Deal name, amount, close date, and owner transfer directly. YetiForce pipeline and stage names map value-by-value to HubSpot pipeline stage names. Pipeline-to-pipeline mapping is configured per the client's HubSpot pipeline count. HubSpot Sales Hub Starter includes one pipeline; additional pipelines require Sales Pro or Enterprise.
YetiForce CRM
Product Catalogue
HubSpot
Product
1:1YetiForce Product Catalogue items map to HubSpot Products. Product name, unit price, cost price, vendor, and description fields transfer as HubSpot product properties. YetiForce product images and attachments re-upload to HubSpot's file manager and link to the product record. Products must exist in HubSpot before they can be associated with Deals, so product migration runs before or concurrent with Deal migration to preserve line item associations.
YetiForce CRM
Trouble Ticket (Help Desk)
HubSpot
Ticket / Custom Property
1:1YetiForce Trouble Tickets have no direct HubSpot equivalent in the Sales CRM alone. If the client has HubSpot Service Hub, tickets migrate as native HubSpot Tickets linked to Contacts and Companies. Without Service Hub, tickets migrate as a custom Ticket object or custom properties on the related Contact/Company. Ticket status, priority, category, and resolution notes map to custom fields.
YetiForce CRM
Project
HubSpot
Custom Object / Deal
1:1YetiForce Projects span multiple CRM and PM use cases. Project records that represent pre-sale opportunities map to HubSpot Deals with a project-type custom property. Operational projects with deliverables and milestones map to a HubSpot custom object created by the admin before migration. Project-task sub-records require either a custom sub-object or an attachment with the task list exported as a formatted file.
YetiForce CRM
Call List / Email List (Activity History)
HubSpot
Task
1:1YetiForce Call List and Email List entries map to HubSpot Tasks with Task Type set to 'Call' or 'Email'. Original call duration, outcome, and timestamp transfer as custom properties on the Task. Activities are attached to the parent Contact or Company record by YetiForce's record ID preserved on the HubSpot task for traceability. Email subject lines and body text transfer to the Task description field for complete activity context.
YetiForce CRM
Meeting (Calendar)
HubSpot
Meeting / Event
1:1YetiForce Calendar meetings map to HubSpot Meetings (Events) with original start and end times, location, and description preserved. Meeting attendees link to HubSpot Contact records by email. YetiForce recurring meeting series are flattened into individual meeting records, with a custom property flagging the recurrence pattern for manual rebuilding in HubSpot's meeting scheduling tools.
YetiForce CRM
Documents and Attachments
HubSpot
Files
1:1YetiForce document attachments on records re-upload to HubSpot Files. File size limits apply (HubSpot default 25MB per file, with batch upload support for larger datasets). Inline images embedded in YetiForce notes are extracted, downloaded as image files, and re-uploaded to HubSpot before note text is migrated, ensuring images display correctly in the destination system.

Custom Properties / Association Notes
1:1YetiForce allows any record to link to any other record type via a flexible Related To relationship. HubSpot's association model is fixed per object type. We store the full set of YetiForce relationship IDs as a custom text property on each record, enabling your admin to rebuild the associations manually in HubSpot using a reference list.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery audit and HubSpot schema pre-setup
We audit every YetiForce module in scope — Companies, Contacts, Leads, Potentials, Products, Trouble Tickets, Projects, and activity logs — to produce a field-level mapping document. We identify custom fields per module, pick-list values requiring value-by-value translation, and any YetiForce objects without a native HubSpot equivalent (projects, tickets). Your HubSpot admin creates all required custom properties, deal pipelines, and custom objects before the migration. We deliver a setup checklist so the schema is ready before any data loads.
Owner resolution and user email matching
YetiForce user accounts are matched to HubSpot users by email address. We generate a pre-migration owner resolution report listing every YetiForce user, their email, the number of records they own, and whether a corresponding HubSpot user exists. Unmatched owners are flagged in the report with instructions: invite the user to HubSpot, reassign their records to an active user, or designate a fallback owner. No record migrates without a resolved HubSpot owner ID.
Sequence the migration by object dependency
We migrate in the order required by HubSpot's foreign-key model: Companies first (since HubSpot Contacts require a primary Company), then Contacts and Leads, then Potentials (deals) with their product line items, then Products, then Trouble Tickets, then activity history attached to all migrated records. This ordering ensures that lookup relationships resolve correctly in HubSpot and that contact-to-company associations land with the correct primary company assigned.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of records — typically 100–500 spanning contacts, companies, deals, and activities — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values in YetiForce against destination values in HubSpot so you can verify pick-list value mapping, owner assignment, pipeline mapping, and date preservation. Any mapping errors surface here before the full dataset commits. You sign off on the sample before the full run begins.
Full migration with delta-pickup and audit log
The full dataset loads into HubSpot via batch import and Contacts API v3. During the cutover window, we maintain scoped read access to YetiForce so your team can keep working. A delta-pickup (typically 24–48 hours) captures any records created or modified after the initial extraction. Every operation is logged in an audit trail. One-click rollback reverts all migrated records if reconciliation fails. After go-live, we validate record counts, relationship integrity, and field completeness against the pre-migration baseline.
