Overview
Logicalware dissolved in April 2023 and was absorbed into Puzzel Scotland Ltd, leaving no active vendor, API, or documentation. Customers still accessing Logicalware are operating on orphaned infrastructure with no SLAs and a shrinking window to recover export artifacts before they become unrecoverable. We migrate Tickets, Contacts, Companies, Conversation threads, and Agent assignments into HubSpot Service Hub using whatever export files the customer still possesses. We flag every gap, orphaned reference, and missing custom field rather than silently dropping records. Channel metadata from Logicalware's omnichannel threads migrates as ticket properties, though HubSpot's channel-separated structure may separate what was previously a single conversational view. Tags, priorities, and ticket status migrate as label and picklist values. HubSpot Service Hub automations and knowledge base articles do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of Logicalware automations and recommend HubSpot's native knowledge base import tool as the article migration path. Admin training and workflow rebuild sit outside standard migration scope.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Logicalware object lands in HubSpot Service Hub, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Logicalware
Ticket
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket
1:1Logicalware Tickets map to HubSpot Service Hub Tickets with ticket ID preserved as a custom property for traceability. Subject, body, status, priority, and timestamps (created, updated, closed) transfer directly. Ticket owner resolves via agent email match against HubSpot Users. Multi-channel tickets carry their original channel type as a ticket property. We flag any @logicalware.com agent emails as stale and map them to a designated replacement owner before import.
Logicalware
Customer (Contact Record)
HubSpot Service Hub
Contact
1:1Logicalware customer contact records map to HubSpot Contacts. Email address serves as the primary identifier and deduplication key. Phone number, name, and any exported custom fields transfer as HubSpot Contact properties. Where a Logicalware customer has no email but has a phone number, we create a Contact with phone as primary identifier and flag it for email enrichment post-migration. Customers with no contact information are flagged as incomplete records and noted for manual review.
Logicalware
Company
HubSpot Service Hub
Company
1:1Logicalware Company records map to HubSpot Companies. Company name becomes the primary display property. Domain extracted from email addresses on linked contacts populates the Website field for deduplication. Where a Logicalware company has no contacts in the export, we create the Company record and flag it as a potential orphaned account for customer review. Company notes or description fields map to the HubSpot Company description property.
Logicalware
Conversation (Message Thread)
HubSpot Service Hub
Conversation
1:1Logicalware conversation threads map to HubSpot Conversations, preserving chronological message order per ticket. Each message event carries sender, timestamp, body text, and channel type. Channel metadata from Logicalware's omnichannel model (email, chat, SMS, WhatsApp, social) migrates as conversation properties. We document the thread-splitting behavior: HubSpot's channel model may separate what was a single mixed-channel conversation in Logicalware into disconnected thread segments in the destination, which we flag explicitly during scoping.
Logicalware
Agent
HubSpot Service Hub
User
1:1Logicalware Agent records map to HubSpot Service Hub Users by email match. Every @logicalware.com email address is flagged as deactivated and requires mapping to an active HubSpot User before migration proceeds. We extract agent name and role from the Logicalware export and populate HubSpot User properties accordingly. Agents without any exported email are noted as anonymous and mapped to a system migration owner for customer admin assignment post-migration.
Logicalware
Channel
HubSpot Service Hub
Channel Property
lossyLogicalware channel type (email, live chat, SMS, WhatsApp, social media) migrates as a read-only ticket or conversation property in HubSpot. HubSpot does not expose a standalone Channel object, so we use a custom ticket property (original_channel__c) to preserve channel attribution. Channel routing rules from Logicalware are documented but not migratable; we recommend rebuilding routing as HubSpot Teams and inbox assignment rules post-migration.
Logicalware
Attachment
HubSpot Service Hub
File Attachment
1:1Ticket attachments migrate as HubSpot file attachments linked to the parent Ticket or Conversation record. We validate URL accessibility before migration; any attachment referencing a URL hosted on Logicalware infrastructure (logicalware.com domain) post-2023 is flagged as inaccessible and excluded from migration with a written inventory entry rather than a broken link landing in HubSpot. We advise customers to download all accessible Logicalware-hosted attachments before migration scoping begins.
Logicalware
Tag
HubSpot Service Hub
Label
1:1Logicalware Tags applied to tickets migrate as HubSpot Ticket Labels. Tags used for categorization or routing logic transfer directly with no value transformation. We do not consolidate synonymous tags unless explicitly instructed; vocabulary differences between Logicalware and HubSpot label conventions are documented for the customer admin to reconcile post-migration. Tags used for content classification rather than ticket management are noted separately as a potential knowledge base tagging rebuild item.
Logicalware
Custom Field
HubSpot Service Hub
Custom Property
lossyLogicalware custom fields present in the export artifact migrate as HubSpot custom contact, company, or ticket properties. Field type mapping follows: string fields to single-line text, boolean fields to checkbox, date fields to date picker, numeric fields to number, and picklist-style fields to dropdown. Custom fields absent from the export (a common gap due to inconsistent Logicalware export behavior) are documented as unmapped rather than created as null-value placeholders. We recommend the customer admin reviews all unmapped fields against their Logicalware configuration during scoping.
Logicalware
Ticket Status
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket Status
lossyLogicalware ticket status values (e.g., Open, Pending, Resolved, Closed) map to HubSpot Ticket status pipeline values. We configure the HubSpot ticket pipeline to match the Logicalware status vocabulary during schema design. Status values without a HubSpot equivalent are mapped to the nearest status and flagged. If Logicalware used custom status names, we create custom ticket status options in HubSpot rather than forcing a value-mapping that loses semantic meaning.
Logicalware
Ticket Priority
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket Priority
lossyLogicalware priority values (e.g., Low, Medium, High, Urgent) map to HubSpot Ticket priority property values. Where Logicalware used numeric priority scores (1-5), we map to HubSpot's Low/Normal/High/Urgent scale and preserve the original numeric score in a custom field (original_priority_score__c) for reporting continuity.
Logicalware
Historical Timestamps
HubSpot Service Hub
Created Date / Updated Date / Closed Date
1:1Ticket created_date, updated_date, and closed_date from Logicalware export files migrate to HubSpot Ticket creation and last modified timestamps. Conversation message timestamps preserve the original chronological sequence. We do not override HubSpot's native createdate and lastmodified fields with current migration timestamps; historical dates are critical for support SLA reporting and customer satisfaction trend analysis.

Migration approach
Export artifact discovery and integrity assessment
We work with the customer to locate and validate whatever Logicalware export files remain from the live period. We assess export format (CSV, XML, JSON), record completeness, and structural integrity. We flag any corrupted dumps, missing object types, and fields that appear in the Logicalware admin but not in the export. If no export exists, we document alternative reconstruction paths (email server logs, CRM linkage records) and their limitations. The discovery output is a written inventory of all migratable records, all identified gaps, and a migration feasibility assessment.
Schema design and field mapping specification
We design the HubSpot Service Hub destination schema based on the validated export structure. This includes configuring ticket pipelines and status values to match Logicalware vocabulary, mapping custom fields from the export to HubSpot custom properties with correct field types, and resolving agent email references to active HubSpot Users. We document every unmapped field and every channel-splitting action for customer review. The schema design is validated in HubSpot's sandbox or trial environment before record import begins.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the customer's HubSpot Service Hub portal using the validated export and schema mapping. The customer reviews a random sample of migrated tickets, contacts, companies, and conversations against the Logicalware export. Any field mapping corrections, thread-split discrepancies, or missing records are documented and the mapping is updated before production migration. We do not run production migration until the customer provides written sign-off on the sandbox results.
Production migration with dependency ordering
We run the production migration in record-dependency order: Companies (first, as the root org unit), Contacts (with company association resolved), Tickets (with contact and owner references resolved), Conversations (linked to parent tickets), Labels (applied to tickets), and Attachments (last, after parent ticket IDs are established). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We handle @logicalware.com email resolution as a pre-flight check before the agent-to-user mapping phase.
Cutover, delta sync, and automation handoff
We freeze Logicalware writes at cutover, run a final delta migration of records modified during the migration window, and confirm HubSpot as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of all Logicalware automations (message routing rules, keyword triggers, templated responses) with recommended HubSpot equivalents. We note that HubSpot Service Hub automations require manual rebuild by the customer admin. Knowledge base and self-service portal content does not migrate through our standard process; we recommend HubSpot's native knowledge base importer as the article migration path and note any content requiring manual recreation.
