Overview

What this migration involves

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.

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Pegasus Systems

What's pushing teams away

  • Reporting is widely cited as inefficient and difficult to configure, making it hard to generate meaningful insights on team effectiveness and project hour allocation.
  • Limited public API documentation means agencies with custom integration needs hit a wall when trying to automate data extraction or sync with other systems.
  • Some users report the platform feels less suited to larger teams as agency headcount scales, with performance and feature gaps emerging on higher tiers.
  • The learning curve for non-finance staff on invoicing and billing modules creates friction during onboarding of new team members.

Choosing

monday Work Management logo

monday Work Management

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest onboarding friction of any mid-market PM tool — drag-and-drop boards and colorful UI mean non-technical team members contribute from day one without training.
  • Highly customizable board structure lets teams model their actual workflow rather than forcing a predefined template onto their process.
  • Generous free forever plan with two seats lets small teams or solo users validate the platform before committing budget or migrating data from elsewhere.
  • Integrations with Slack, Zoom, Google Drive, and CRM tools keep monday.com as a coordination hub rather than requiring teams to switch context constantly.
  • Multiple view modes — Kanban, Calendar, Gantt, Map, Chart — give different team members the visualization they prefer without switching tools.

Object mapping

How Pegasus Systems objects map to monday Work Management

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

maps to

monday Work Management

Board (Client-level) or Contact column group

1:1
Fully supported

Pegasus 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

maps to

monday Work Management

Board or Item within Board

1:1
Fully supported

Pegasus 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

maps to

monday Work Management

Item with Time Tracking column or Worklog entries

1:many
Fully supported

Pegasus 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

maps to

monday Work Management

Item within Expenses Board

1:1
Fully supported

Pegasus 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

maps to

monday Work Management

Item within Invoices Board or linked sub-board

1:1
Fully supported

Pegasus 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

maps to

monday Work Management

Board with Item metrics

1:1
Fully supported

Pegasus 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)

maps to

monday Work Management

No direct equivalent

lossy
Fully supported

Pegasus 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

maps to

monday Work Management

Team Member

1:1
Fully supported

Pegasus 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

maps to

monday Work Management

Columns

lossy
Mapping required

Pegasus 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

maps to

monday Work Management

File column or URL column

1:1
Fully supported

Documents 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

maps to

monday Work Management

Automation rules (rebuild required)

lossy
Fully supported

Pegasus 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

maps to

monday Work Management

Dashboard widgets (rebuild required)

lossy
Fully supported

Pegasus 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

  • Pegasus has no documented public API for bulk extraction

    Pegasus Systems does not publish a public REST or GraphQL API with documented rate limits and bulk export endpoints. The platform supports Excel import templates for timesheets, expenses, and forecasts, but programmatic read access for migration purposes is not guaranteed. We handle this by coordinating directly with Pegasus's change management team to obtain data extracts in their native format, then parsing those exports in our migration pipeline. Any customer claiming they can pull an API during scoping should be corrected early. We agree on the export method and format before migration begins; timelines extend by 1-2 weeks if Pegasus change management requires additional coordination rounds.

  • Financial period locking requires manual reconciliation

    Pegasus locks closed accounting periods to prevent retroactive edits. When migrating invoices, expenses, and financial records, we identify which records belong to locked periods. monday.com has no native financial module and does not enforce period locking. Records migrated from locked periods appear as active data in monday.com, creating a risk that users accidentally post to closed periods after cutover. We flag locked-period records during scoping, preserve the period identifier as a custom column value, and recommend the customer and their accountant confirm period mapping and any required manual journal entries before go-live.

  • monday.com automation builder is not a direct equivalent

    Pegasus Standard tier includes workflow automation for routine tasks. monday.com's automation builder uses trigger-action recipes with different logic models. Automations that trigger in Pegasus may not map 1:1 to monday.com recipes. We document every Pegasus automation in a written inventory with the trigger, conditions, and actions, and we recommend monday.com equivalents for the customer's admin to rebuild. Migrations that skip this step arrive in monday.com with no automation coverage and manual processes resume.

  • monday.com Chart view requires Pro plan upgrade

    monday.com's Chart view, used for workload scheduling and resource allocation visualization, is gated behind the Pro plan at $33 per seat per month. Pegasus provides reporting and analytics across all tiers. If the customer's migration scope includes team workload visibility and the destination account is on Basic ($20/seat) or Standard ($20/seat), the customer must upgrade to Pro before the migration or accept that Chart view will not be available post-migration. We flag this during scoping if the source instance uses resource allocation reporting.

  • Media Campaign live metrics transfer as static snapshots

    Pegasus Media Campaigns aggregate real-time metrics for client meetings and project tracking. monday.com boards store column values as static data; there is no equivalent to live campaign metric connectors. We snapshot the current metrics state during extraction and import as read-only column values. Any live integrations (Google Analytics, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads) that feed Pegasus Media Campaigns require separate reconfiguration as monday.com integrations post-migration. We document the existing connector list during discovery so the customer's team can plan the rebuild.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Pegasus Systems to monday Work Management data migration

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

Source

Strengths

  • 100% cloud-based platform with no on-premise installations required across all tiers.
  • Per-minute time tracking across multiple projects with billable and non-billable flags for finance visibility.
  • AI-powered invoice and receipt scanning reduces Accounts Payable manual data entry overhead.
  • Unified interface across Job Management, Finance Management, and Media modules from a single browser.
  • Dedicated change management and staff training support available during migration and go-live.

Weaknesses

  • Reporting module is consistently flagged as inefficient and difficult to configure for team effectiveness analysis.
  • No publicly documented public API for programmatic data extraction or bulk export operations.
  • Limited published pricing information makes tier comparison and budget forecasting difficult for prospects.
  • Custom field handling requires manual field-level mapping for each migration, increasing scoping effort.

Destination

Strengths

  • Drag-and-drop board UI with near-zero learning curve for non-technical users entering project data for the first time.
  • 20+ column types and unlimited custom columns let teams model arbitrarily complex data structures without developer help.
  • Multi-view support — Kanban, Gantt, Calendar, Timeline, Chart, Map — satisfies different team members without forcing a single layout.
  • Automations cover common trigger-action patterns for teams without dedicated developers to write custom scripts.
  • Free plan for 2 seats and a 14-day trial on all paid tiers make evaluation risk-free before committing to migration scope.

Weaknesses

  • Per-seat pricing with no enterprise flat-rate option means costs scale linearly with headcount, making it expensive at 50+ seats.
  • Subitems lack bulk API access, making them problematic for CRM-style use cases where contact records live as subitems under a company board.
  • Automations and advanced views are gated behind Pro and Enterprise tiers, creating feature deserts on entry-level plans.
  • Dependency column is visually limited — no critical path, no auto-rescheduling, and cross-board dependencies require manual link management.
  • No native document management; docs, wikis, and knowledge bases require a separate integration or third-party workaround.

Most migrations land between four and six weeks for accounts with fewer than 10,000 Jobs, 2,000 Clients, and no complex financial history. Migrations with large timesheet histories (over 50,000 entries), locked financial period records requiring reconciliation, multiple custom field sets, or Media Campaign metric snapshots requiring separate integration rebuilds move to ten to sixteen weeks because of extraction coordination with Pegasus change management, transformation logic for financial records, and sandbox validation rounds.
