Anyone using FieldPulse alongside another system? How do you manage the overlap?

Devon Marsh

We're in that awkward middle ground where FieldPulse handles most of our field operations, but we still have a legacy CRM that sales refuses to give up (and honestly, it's got 10 years of customer history that would be painful to migrate). Right now we're doing a lot of manual CSV exports and it's... not great.

Curious how others are handling this. Are you:

  • Running dual systems with some kind of sync?
  • Using FieldPulse as the source of truth for some data and the other system for others?
  • Just living with the redundancy?

YMMV obviously, but I'd love to hear what's actually working in practice vs. what sounds good in theory. Any gotchas worth sharing?

  • We're in a similar spot — FieldPulse for dispatch and field ops, HubSpot for marketing and sales nurture. What we landed on: FieldPulse owns the job lifecycle, HubSpot owns the prospect lifecycle. The handoff is a single integration point when a lead becomes a booked job.

    Pro tip: resist the urge to sync everything. We tried bidirectional contact sync initially and it was a mess. Now we only push job status TO HubSpot for closed-won reporting, and that's it. Way cleaner.

    Side note: make sure your sales team knows FieldPulse doesn't automatically update HubSpot deal stages. We had to build a Zap for that specifically.
