Migrate your Birdview data
PSA platform with per-user pricing and tiered permission models for professional services teams that need project, resource, and financial management in one place.
In its favor
Why people choose Birdview
The signal that keeps Birdview on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Generous per-user plan starting at $9/month with unlimited projects, tasks, custom fields, and multiple view types, making it affordable for small teams to adopt a full-featured PSA
Strong time and expense tracking with clear visibility into task status and flexible assignment options, helping professional services teams align work and meet billing deadlines
AI-assisted features on the Team tier, including message assistant and project plan assistant, give growing teams automation without requiring manual workflow configuration
Zapier (5000+ connectors) and Workato (500+ connectors) integrations on higher tiers allow Birdview to fit into existing tool stacks without custom API development
Clear user-type permission model (Full User, Collaborator, Executive) makes it straightforward to scope what each team member can see and do, reducing accidental data exposure
The platform rewards organizational discipline at setup — teams that do not maintain clean Spaces and structured workflows early report friction that compounds as projects scale
Cannot remove hours from a project entirely; the system enforces a minimum 0:01 hour entry, forcing teams to either leave phantom time or adjust billing in the destination system
Some users report the methods and configuration options are more complicated to learn than expected, particularly around workflow automation and custom field setup
Per-user pricing can become expensive for large teams with many stakeholders who only need read-only access, since every named user counts toward the license regardless of activity level

What gets migrated
Birdview object support
Object-by-object support for Birdview migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Spaces
Fully supportedSpaces are the top-level organizational container in Birdview, functioning as workspaces or folders. We migrate Spaces as-is and preserve the hierarchical relationship between Spaces and their child Projects during transfer.
Projects
Fully supportedProjects carry status, dates, budget, and owner assignment. All standard project fields are stable and map directly to the destination PM tool's equivalent Project object without transformation.
Tasks (Activities)
Fully supportedBirdview uses 'Activities' as the umbrella term for Tasks, Issues, and Requests. These are distinguished by Activity type. We preserve the type label as a custom property in the destination to maintain the distinction.
Issues
Mapping requiredIssues are a specific Activity subtype with priority and resolution fields. Where the destination does not have a native Issue object, we merge Issues into Tasks and preserve issue-specific fields as custom properties.
Requests
Mapping requiredRequests are intake-style Activities used for intake forms. Their custom form data must be mapped field-by-field since form schema is tenant-defined. We extract the form definition first before mapping records.
Portfolios
Fully supportedPortfolios group Projects for executive-level oversight. On Enterprise, Portfolio hierarchy is available. We preserve Portfolio membership and hierarchy in the destination as Project groupings or folders.
Time Entries
Mapping requiredTime entries are linked to Activities and Users. The minimum 0:01 hour enforcement is a Birdview behavior we flag upfront so clients can decide whether to strip zero-value entries in the destination. Billable vs non-billable flags require explicit mapping.
Expenses
Mapping requiredExpenses are tied to Activities and Projects. Activity-level expenses and expense approval workflows exist on Enterprise. We extract expense records and map cost center and approval status separately from the expense line itself.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom fields are tenant-defined and can be applied to Projects, Tasks, and other objects. We enumerate all custom field definitions during discovery and map them field-by-field to the destination schema.
Workflows
Mapping requiredBirdview supports custom workflows that govern task routing and approvals. Workflow definitions are migrated as configuration where the destination supports workflow import; otherwise we document the workflow logic for manual recreation.
User Types
Mapping requiredBirdview's Full User, Collaborator, Executive, and Viewer roles govern access scope. We map these to the destination's role model, noting that permission granularity may differ and access gaps may require post-migration configuration.
Approvals
Mapping requiredApproval records are tied to expense and time workflows. Approval history is migrated as a log object; open approvals at migration time must be resolved or re-opened in the destination system.
Rate Cards
Mapping requiredRate cards define billing rates per user or role. We export rate card definitions and map them to the destination's billing rate or project budget configuration. Role-based rate cards require user-to-role mapping in the destination.
