These are the architectural mismatches and technical hurdles specific to a Teamwork CRM to Close migration.
The term "Lead" means a pre-qualification deal object in Teamwork CRM but means the top-level company container in Close, requiring explicit disambiguation in every field mapping decision to avoid structural import errors.
Close enforces a hard parent-child constraint where Contacts and Opportunities cannot exist without a parent Lead, meaning Companies must be fully imported and Lead IDs resolved before any dependent objects are created.
Close stores monetary values as integers in cents rather than decimal dollar amounts, so a $5,000 Opportunity must be imported as 500000 or pipeline reporting will be silently corrupted by a factor of 100.
Teamwork CRM and Close use different custom field type schemas, requiring a dedicated mapping pass to evaluate type compatibility and manually recreate each custom field in Close before any records referencing them can be imported.
Teamwork CRM CSV exports replace foreign key IDs with plain text names for company-to-contact and deal-to-contact relationships, causing linkage failures during import whenever company names are not unique.
Close's standard import routes do not support historical email threads from a prior CRM, and disconnecting Teamwork CRM email sync before archiving those threads permanently removes them from deal timelines.
Our migration engineer precisely maps every data point from Teamwork CRM to Close, ensuring perfect continuity for your customer support operations.

“Overall a great experience. We had to go back a few times to get everything just right, which was totally expected. The transition was smooth, and there was no data loss.”
“One of the easiest migrations I've ever been through. The team took care of everything — all our data, customer interactions and macros. The process was clear, straightforward and we felt supported all the way. An absolutely seamless experience for our support team and our customers.”
“Fantastic at both guiding us through the process and helping us fix things as they come up and dial them in.”
“The ease of the process and that ClonePartner was informing me what was going on at every step. If you're on the fence, do it. ClonePartner are great!”
“They were SO helpful. We had a few hiccups because our migration was in the middle of the process, but they were really flexible and did multiple delta migrations for us. We were able to map a lot of our old ticket data so it's usable for comparisons in the future.”
