Overview
Moving from Sqanit to HubSpot Service Hub is a structural migration for post-sale service operations that previously ran on a QR-code-first digital twin model. Sqanit operates without a publicly documented bulk export API, so migration requires identifying accessible data through customer configuration during discovery. We extract Devices/Assets, Organizations, Service Tickets, End Users, Technicians, Compliance Records, and Service History, then map Sqanit's modular object set to HubSpot's standard and custom objects. Device records (Sqanit's digital twins) become a HubSpot custom object with device metadata fields. Service history migrates through HubSpot's Bulk API with parent-record resolution. Sqanit's AI-assisted triage workflows and guided self-service flows do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of active configurations for the customer's admin to rebuild in HubSpot. Knowledge base articles migrate but inline images, ticket CC lists, and group structures do not transfer per HubSpot's import limitations.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Sqanit 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.
Sqanit
Devices / Assets (Digital Twins)
HubSpot Service Hub
Custom Object (Asset or Device)
1:1Sqanit's Device/Asset records carry model, serial number, install date, owner metadata, and a full service history. These map to a HubSpot custom object (Asset__c or Device__c) created during schema setup, with custom fields for serialnumber, model, install_date, and owner_contact. The device-to-ticket link preserves by migrating Tickets after Assets and populating the device lookup field. EU Digital Product Passport compliance fields map to custom Asset__c fields per industry requirements. This object is unique to Sqanit and requires custom schema creation in HubSpot before migration.
Sqanit
Organizations
HubSpot Service Hub
Company
1:1Sqanit Organization records represent the manufacturer or enterprise account and map cleanly to HubSpot Company. The Organization name becomes Company Name, and the domain or primary contact email becomes a dedupe key. Standard address and industry fields map from Organization address properties where present.
Sqanit
Service Tickets / Cases
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket
1:1Sqanit Service Tickets are the core transactional object carrying status, priority, assignee, timestamps, and device context. Status and priority values require a value map during migration (Sqanit statuses differ from HubSpot's default New, Open, Pending, Solved, Closed). We create HubSpot ticket pipelines matching Sqanit active stages and configure priority mapping from Sqanit priority levels (Low, Medium, High, Critical) to HubSpot priority (Low, Medium, High, Urgent).
Sqanit
End Users
HubSpot Service Hub
Contact
1:1Sqanit End Users are consumers who scan the QR code on a product. They may have minimal profile data (language preference, device ownership links). We migrate End User records to HubSpot Contact with language preference preserved in a custom property. The device-ownership link migrates by resolving the associated Device__c lookup at migration time. End Users who also appear as Organization contacts receive deduplication by email.
Sqanit
Technicians / Service Staff
HubSpot Service Hub
User or Contact
lossySqanit Technicians are internal service team members assigned to tickets. We map these to HubSpot User if they are active HubSpot seat users, or to Contact if they are external technicians tracked in Sqanit but not provisioned as HubSpot users. Role and team assignment from Sqanit map to HubSpot User role and team fields where those properties exist in the source export.
Sqanit
Compliance Records
HubSpot Service Hub
Custom Object or Note
lossySqanit tracks device compliance status (inspections, certifications, regulatory records) as a linked object often custom-structured per industry. These migrate to a HubSpot custom object (Compliance_Record__c) with lookup to the Device__c custom object. For Sqanit configurations where compliance records are stored as unstructured data, we attach them as HubSpot Notes linked to the Device record. Industry-specific fields (medical device inspections, EU DPP fields) require custom schema mapping per account during discovery.
Sqanit
Service History / Interactions
HubSpot Service Hub
Timeline Activities (Tasks, Events, EmailMessages)
1:1Every scan, AI-assisted resolution, or ticket update in Sqanit creates an interaction record timestamped, device-linked, and sometimes multilingual. We extract the full interaction log as chronological entries. AI triage interactions become HubSpot Task records with a custom interaction_type field; technician resolutions become Task records with status Completed; device scans become Event records with location metadata. The original timestamp preserves on ActivityDate for timeline ordering.
Sqanit
Multilingual Content / KB Articles
HubSpot Service Hub
Knowledge Base Article
1:1Sqanit supports 524+ languages for self-service content with KB articles and guided workflow text per locale. We extract article content and locale tags, then map them to HubSpot Knowledge Base articles using HubSpot's pre-built Knowledge Base importer. Note that inline images embedded in articles do not migrate per HubSpot's import limitation; we flag these during scoping and the customer replaces them manually post-migration. Knowledge base groups from Sqanit do not transfer to HubSpot groups.
Sqanit
Product Registrations
HubSpot Service Hub
Product
1:1Sqanit tracks product registration records linked to devices and end users. These map to HubSpot Product2 records with a custom registration_date field and lookup to the Device__c custom object. Product registration ownership links to the associated Contact record in HubSpot.
Sqanit
QR Code Configuration
HubSpot Service Hub
Not Migrated (Documentation)
lossySqanit's QR code routing configuration (which QR codes trigger which triage flows, self-service paths, or technician assignments) has no direct HubSpot equivalent. We document the QR code routing logic as a written configuration inventory for the customer's admin to implement in HubSpot using help desk routing rules, canned snippets, and conversation automation. This is not migrated as code.
Sqanit
AI Triage Configurations
HubSpot Service Hub
Not Migrated (Documentation)
lossySqanit's AI-assisted triage rules and guided workflows evaluate device type, symptom description, and user language at the first QR scan. These do not migrate to HubSpot. We deliver a written inventory of active triage rules with their trigger conditions and recommended HubSpot equivalents (Breeze AI Customer Agent on Professional+, or manual routing rules on Starter). The customer's admin rebuilds these in HubSpot post-migration.
Sqanit
Module Configuration State
HubSpot Service Hub
Not Migrated (Documentation)
lossySqanit's modular deployment means each account activates a different combination of Service Management, Asset Management, and CX Management. We document which modules are active, which objects are populated, and which custom fields exist per module configuration as part of the discovery output. This configuration audit serves as the schema scope definition for the HubSpot migration and is handed off as documentation, not as migratable data.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and data availability assessment
We audit the Sqanit account across all active modules (Service Management, Asset Management, CX Management), custom field configurations, and record volumes. We simultaneously assess data export options: whether Sqanit GmbH can provide a structured database export, whether a direct database connection is available, or whether custom scripting against undocumented endpoints is required. The discovery output is a data availability report, a record count estimate per object, and a confirmed migration scope with provisional field mappings. No migration begins before data availability is confirmed.
HubSpot schema design and custom object creation
We design the HubSpot destination schema including the Device__c custom object (or equivalent), all custom fields typed to HubSpot property types, ticket pipelines matching Sqanit active stages, and knowledge base category structure. Schema deploys to a HubSpot Sandbox for validation before any production migration. Sqanit's compliance record structures receive a custom Compliance_Record__c object with Device__c lookup. The customer's HubSpot admin reviews and approves the schema before the export phase begins.
Sqanit data extraction and staging
We work with the customer and Sqanit GmbH to extract data from Sqanit in the most structured format available (CSV, JSON, or direct database export depending on what Sqanit can provide). Data lands in a secure staging environment where we clean records, deduplicate End Users by email, normalize status and priority values against the HubSpot target schema, and validate required lookup references. Any records with missing required fields receive a data quality flag for customer review before import.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into HubSpot Sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer's service operations lead reconciles record counts (Devices in, Organizations in, Tickets in, End Users in, Interactions in), spot-checks 25-50 records per object against the Sqanit source, and validates ticket pipeline and priority mapping. Any mapping corrections happen in Sandbox before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Companies (from Sqanit Organizations), Device__c custom object (from Sqanit Assets), Products, Contacts (End Users with device lookup resolved), Users (Technicians), Tickets (with pipeline and priority mapping applied), Knowledge Base articles (via HubSpot's pre-built importer), Compliance Records (as custom object or Note attachments), and Service History (via HubSpot Bulk API with parent-record resolution). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and configuration rebuild handoff
We freeze Sqanit writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records created or modified during the migration window, then enable HubSpot Service Hub as the system of record. We deliver the QR code routing inventory, AI triage configuration inventory, and workflow documentation to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Sqanit configurations as HubSpot workflows or routing rules inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement.
