Overview
Pegasus Systems organizes agency work around Clients, Jobs, Timesheets, Expenses, Invoices, and Media Campaigns with a finance layer that holds locked accounting periods. monday.com uses a board-and-item model where each board represents a workflow and each item represents a unit of work, with columns replacing custom fields. The structural difference is significant: Pegasus Jobs have per-minute time tracking with billable flags tied to job cost centres; monday.com tracks time via Time Tracking columns and Workload views that require configuration post-migration. We extract data through Pegasus's change-management channel rather than any documented API, parse their native export formats, chunk records into monday.com board structure, and deliver a written automation inventory so the customer's team rebuilds automations in monday.com's automation builder. We do not migrate workflows, sequences, reports, or dashboards as code.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Pegasus Systems object lands in monday Work Management, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Pegasus Systems
Client
monday Work Management
Board (Client-level) or Contact column group
1:1Pegasus Client records store contact information, campaign history, and performance analytics. We extract primary contact fields and client-level custom properties, then map them to a monday.com Board where each client gets a dedicated board, or to a Clients board with Items representing individual clients. The mapping type depends on whether the customer's workflow is client-centric (board per client) or project-centric (single board with client as a connected board or Team column). We preserve any historical campaign performance data as static column values.
Pegasus Systems
Job
monday Work Management
Board or Item within Board
1:1Pegasus Jobs are the project-level container holding timelines, task lists, and resource allocation data. We extract all job fields including status, start and end dates, custom fields, and resource assignments. In monday.com this maps to either a dedicated Board per Job or Items grouped within a Board by client. Custom fields on Pegasus Jobs map to typed monday.com columns. The customer's workflow determines whether Jobs become boards or items; we confirm the structure during discovery.
Pegasus Systems
Timesheet
monday Work Management
Item with Time Tracking column or Worklog entries
1:manyPegasus timesheet entries track time by the minute across multiple projects with billable and non-billable flags. We extract entries with project association, user assignment, date, duration, and billable flag. In monday.com we map each timesheet entry to an Item with a Time Tracking column capturing duration, or to a separate Worklog board linked via Connect Boards column. The billable flag maps to a Status or Label column. Where Pegasus stores aggregated weekly timesheets, we split them into daily entries to preserve granularity.
Pegasus Systems
Expense
monday Work Management
Item within Expenses Board
1:1Pegasus Expense records capture AP data tied to Jobs or Clients with vendor, amount, date, and job association. We extract all expense fields and map them to Items in a dedicated Expenses Board with columns for Vendor, Amount, Date, Status, and Job (via Connect Boards or Team column). monday.com has no native AP module, so expense status workflow (Pending, Approved, Paid) requires configuration in the automation builder post-migration.
Pegasus Systems
Invoice
monday Work Management
Item within Invoices Board or linked sub-board
1:1Pegasus Invoices are generated from job costs and timesheet data with headers, line items, amounts, and payment status. We extract invoice records and map them to Items in an Invoices Board with columns for Invoice Number, Client, Amount, Status (Draft, Sent, Paid, Overdue), and due date. Closed or locked financial periods in Pegasus require manual reconciliation during scoping; we flag records belonging to locked periods and recommend the customer and accountant confirm period mapping before cutover.
Pegasus Systems
Media Campaign
monday Work Management
Board with Item metrics
1:1Pegasus Media Campaigns aggregate real-time metrics, client meetings, and new projects. We extract campaign metadata and snapshot the current metrics state as static column values in a monday.com Board. Live data connectors do not transfer; metric values are point-in-time snapshots at migration. The customer recreates any live metric integrations (Google Analytics, Meta Ads, etc.) as monday.com integrations post-migration.
Pegasus Systems
Financial Records (Accounts structure)
monday Work Management
No direct equivalent
lossyPegasus holds assets, cash flow statements, and chart-of-accounts data at the finance layer. monday.com has no native financial module. We extract the accounts structure and balances, then present options to the customer: (a) import as read-only Items in a Finance Board, (b) export to a spreadsheet for accountant reference, or (c) integrate with a dedicated accounting tool post-migration. Historical transaction history within locked periods may require manual reconciliation; we flag this during scoping.
Pegasus Systems
User / Owner
monday Work Management
Team Member
1:1Pegasus user accounts with role information map to monday.com Team Members. We extract user records and map them by email match to the monday.com workspace. Active vs inactive status in Pegasus maps to Active vs Deactivated status in monday.com. Owner assignments on Jobs, Expenses, and Invoices migrate as Assignee column values on the corresponding Items.
Pegasus Systems
Custom Fields
monday Work Management
Columns
lossyPegasus supports custom fields on Jobs, Clients, and other objects. We document all custom field names and data types during discovery. Each custom field requires explicit field-level mapping to a typed monday.com column (Text, Number, Date, Status, Dropdown, Checkbox, etc.). Custom field mapping is validated in the sandbox migration phase before production.
Pegasus Systems
Attachment
monday Work Management
File column or URL column
1:1Documents and files attached to Jobs, Clients, or Invoices in Pegasus are extracted as binary blobs or URLs. We preserve attachment associations by mapping them to monday.com File columns on the corresponding Items, or to URL columns if the attachment is stored externally. Large binary files may require separate file storage coordination if the migration pipeline has size constraints.
Pegasus Systems
Workflow / Automation
monday Work Management
Automation rules (rebuild required)
lossyPegasus Standard and Enterprise tiers include workflow automation for routine tasks. monday.com's automation builder operates on different trigger-action logic. We do not migrate workflows as code. We extract and document every Pegasus automation rule (trigger, conditions, actions) as a written inventory with recommended monday.com automation equivalents. The customer's team rebuilds these in monday.com's automation builder post-migration.
Pegasus Systems
Reports / Dashboards
monday Work Management
Dashboard widgets (rebuild required)
lossyPegasus reporting module is consistently flagged as difficult to configure and inefficient on G2 reviews. monday.com dashboards with configurable widgets and chart views serve as the replacement. We do not migrate reports as code. We document every named report and dashboard configuration in Pegasus and deliver a written guide mapping them to monday.com dashboard equivalents. Chart view requires Pro tier at $33/seat per month.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and export method agreement
We audit the source Pegasus instance across all tiers (Edge, Standard, Enterprise), identifying Clients, Jobs, Timesheets, Expenses, Invoices, Media Campaigns, custom field sets, locked financial periods, user accounts, and any automation rules. Because Pegasus has no public API, we coordinate with Pegasus's change management team to agree on the export format (Excel templates, CSV, or direct database extract). We confirm whether the customer has an active change management support contract, as this affects export timeline and data completeness. The discovery output is a written migration scope and an agreed export schedule.
Destination workspace design
We design the monday.com workspace structure in partnership with the customer's team. This includes provisioning Boards for each workflow (Clients, Jobs, Time Tracking, Expenses, Invoices, Media Campaigns), configuring column types to match extracted Pegasus field types, setting up Team members to receive the Owner mappings, and deciding on board architecture (board per client vs board per project). We confirm whether the account is on Basic, Standard, or Pro tier because column type availability and automation limits differ. Schema is validated in a monday.com test workspace before production migration begins.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the monday.com test workspace using production-like data volume. The customer reconciles record counts against the Pegasus source (Clients in, Jobs in, Timesheet entries in, Expenses in, Invoices in), spot-checks 25-50 records for field-level accuracy, and validates custom field mapping. Any column type corrections, mapping adjustments, or board structure changes happen here. We also validate that locked-period financial records are flagged correctly. The customer signs off on the sandbox migration before production cutover begins.
Data extraction and transformation
We receive the Pegasus data export through the agreed change-management channel, parse the native format (Excel or CSV), and apply transformation logic. This includes splitting aggregated timesheet records into daily entries, mapping Pegasus custom field values to monday.com column types, resolving Owner assignments to monday.com Team Members by email match, flagging records from locked financial periods with a period-identifier column, and converting Media Campaign metrics to static snapshot values. Any export records that cannot be parsed due to format inconsistencies are logged and escalated to the customer for Pegasus-side clarification.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Team Members first (to receive Owner assignments), then Clients or Jobs depending on the agreed board architecture, then Time Tracking entries, Expenses, Invoices, Media Campaigns, and attachments. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Financial records from locked periods are loaded last after the customer and accountant confirm the period mapping. We use monday.com's bulk import API where available, with batch chunking to handle large volumes of timesheet entries without timeout.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Pegasus access during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable monday.com as the system of record. We deliver the automation inventory document listing every Pegasus workflow rule with a recommended monday.com automation equivalent. We do not rebuild Pegasus automations as monday.com automation rules inside the migration scope; that is a separate configuration task for the customer's admin or a monday.com partner. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team during initial monday.com use.
