Sugester to HubSpot
Sugester combines CRM, helpdesk, live chat, VoIP, tasks and email in one app, and has been available since 2010.
Sugester data can move into HubSpot, landing mainly in Sales Hub. 1 of 4 mapped objects move directly (Clients/contacts); 3 items need manual work and 1 do not move. Plan roughly 2-4 weeks for a small move and 8-14 weeks for a large one.

No price list: cost follows volume, custom objects and how much logic must be rebuilt. Answer four quick questions for a planning range.
The three scenarios
Small migration
<10k contacts
CSV-based move.
Mid migration
10k-100k
Includes API extraction of deals and activities.
Large migration
>100k
Includes custom API scripts and helpdesk history.
What moves the number
Timeline ranges are planning estimates, not a quote. A partner confirms scope after discovery.
Access, mapping and limits
Start with how data leaves Sugester: what you need to get in, what lands in HubSpot, and what will not.
Open API (XML endpoints seen in the docs)
Choose your route
How will you move the data?
No native connector was found.
- You need: To confirm
- Permission: To confirm
Native imports often bring over only some data, so check coverage per object in the mapping below.
Export each object, clean it, then import it into HubSpot.
- Client/contact list export to XLS via Settings > Import/Export
- Timesheet export to XLS from Reports
- API extraction (the docs show users/me.xml and users/team.xml; other endpoints not verified)
Limits: To confirm
Migration and sync tools can move more than a plain import. Confirm which objects each one supports before you choose.
Best when volume is high, custom objects are many or automation is heavy. That is the Large scenario: 8-14 weeks, usually phased.

Hover or tap anything on the left to see where it lands.
| Source object | In HubSpot | Moves | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clients/contacts | Contacts | yes | The XLS export is documented for clients; import to HubSpot via CSV. |
| Clients (companies) | Companies | partial | Whether clients are split into people and companies in the export is not verified; check the export columns. |
| Deals (including custom fields) | Deals | partial | Deals and deal custom fields exist in the CRM; no documented deal export was found, so confirm whether it comes via API or a report. |
| Tasks, emails, VoIP recordings, helpdesk cases | Tasks | manual | Activity export coverage is undocumented; audit it. Helpdesk cases could map to Tickets, and calls to Calls. |
What to expect
They are configuration, not exportable data, so they must be rebuilt as HubSpot workflows.
No config export is documented.
Coverage is unverified.
No documented export of user or pipeline config beyond the user list API.
Test the API for activity endpoints, or ask Sugester support for a full dump.
Ask support for API details before planning.
Test the export on a large dataset and split files if needed.
Data governance and compliance
Decide what is allowed to move before anything is exported. Tick each gate once it is agreed.
How we researched this page
How much to trust each section, and where it comes from.
Vendor pages confirm the product, XLS/CSV export, an open API and EU hosting. I found no HubSpot connector docs, no API auth or rate-limit details, and no confirmation of which objects export or how they associate, so object mapping rests on category-level knowledge.
