Overview
Badger Maps stores accounts with geolocation, custom text and numeric fields, route assignments, and check-in activity — primarily a field-rep productivity layer sitting atop CRM data. Nutshell operates as a standalone CRM with People (contacts), Companies (accounts), Leads, and Deals organized into customizable pipelines. The migration carries Badger's account records, custom field values, and check-in notes into Nutshell's corresponding objects, preserving original timestamps, owner assignments, and any geocoordinate data as Nutshell custom fields. Route groupings do not have a direct Nutshell equivalent — FlitStack surfaces them as a tagged group field so admins can recreate routing logic in Nutshell's list views. The API export runs against Badger's token-authenticated v2 API, and imports use Nutshell's JSON-RPC API with impersonation if available. Custom fields are migrated as Nutshell custom fields on the Company object, and all check-in notes land as Nutshell Activities linked to the parent Company record. Additionally, FlitStack preserves any category labels as Nutshell tags, migrates file attachments as Activity attachments, and ensures all owner assignments are resolved via email lookup, delivering a fully populated Nutshell instance ready for immediate use.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Badger Maps object lands in Nutshell, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Badger Maps
Account
Nutshell
Company
1:1Badger Accounts map 1:1 to Nutshell Companies. The account name becomes Company.name. If the Badger account has a primary contact person, that person is created as a Nutshell Person and linked to the Company via Nutshell's person-company relationship. Multi-contact accounts require one primary person link; additional contacts are added as secondary Person records.
Badger Maps
Account > Custom Fields
Nutshell
Company > Custom Fields
1:1Badger's custom Text and Numeric fields on accounts migrate as Nutshell Company custom fields. Nutshell requires fields to be pre-created per object before import. FlitStack generates the Nutshell field setup plan from the Badger field inventory so custom fields are created before the migration run commits records.
Badger Maps
Account > Address / Location
Nutshell
Company > Address Fields
1:1Badger stores account address components (street, city, state, zip, country). These map to Nutshell Company's address1, address2, city, state, postal_code, and country fields. Latitude and longitude from Badger are preserved as Numeric custom fields since Nutshell has no native geo-coordinate fields.
Badger Maps
Check-in / Visit Record
Nutshell
Activity
1:1Badger check-ins export with account link, timestamp, notes, and GPS coordinates. Each check-in becomes a Nutshell Activity record linked to the parent Company. The original check-in timestamp is preserved as the Activity date, and the notes field maps to the Activity description. GPS coordinates are stored as Numeric custom fields on the Activity.
Badger Maps
Route
Nutshell
Tag / Custom Field on Company
1:1Badger Routes group accounts into named daily or weekly driving sequences. Nutshell has no native route or territory model. FlitStack maps route names to a Tag applied to each Company in the route, allowing Nutshell admins to filter by route group. Route stop order is preserved as a Numeric custom field (Route_Stop_Order__c) on the Company so the sequence can be reconstructed in Nutshell list views.
Badger Maps
User / Owner
Nutshell
User
1:1Badger user accounts map to Nutshell Users by email address. FlitStack performs a pre-flight email match against Nutshell Users before migration. Unmatched Badger owners are flagged and assigned to a fallback Nutshell user so no record lands without an owner. Impersonation-capable Nutshell API keys carry the correct user attribution for each migrated record.
Badger Maps
Lead (via Badger CRM integration)
Nutshell
Lead
1:1Teams using Badger's Advanced CRM integration may have Leads synced alongside Accounts. These map to Nutshell Leads with name, email, phone, company, and status fields preserved. Badger lead status values are mapped to Nutshell's lead status pick-list via value mapping, and custom lead fields migrate as Nutshell Lead custom fields.
Badger Maps
Account > Notes
Nutshell
Activity (type: Note)
1:1Account-level notes in Badger become Nutshell Activities with type='Note'. The note body maps to the Activity description field. Original create timestamps are preserved in a custom datetime field so note chronology is retained in Nutshell's activity feed. If the note includes any file attachments, those are migrated as Nutshell Activity attachments linked to the same record, preserving the original file names and timestamps.
Badger Maps
Category / Tag
Nutshell
Tag
1:1Badger's category labels applied to accounts (e.g., industry verticals, account types) migrate as Tags in Nutshell. Nutshell Tags are applied directly to Companies, allowing the same filter logic used in Badger's Visualize feature to be replicated in Nutshell's list and board views.
Badger Maps
File / Attachment
Nutshell
Activity Attachment
1:1Files attached to Badger account records are downloaded and re-uploaded as Nutshell Activity attachments linked to the corresponding Company. File size limits from Badger's export and Nutshell's attachment model are respected during transfer. Images embedded in check-in notes are extracted and attached separately.
Badger Maps
Lead Routing / Territory Assignment
Nutshell
Tag / Custom Field on Lead
1:1Badger's territory alignment feature assigns reps to geographic regions. Nutshell has no native territory object — territory assignments are migrated as Tags on the Lead record. FlitStack also creates a custom pick-list field (Territory__c) on Lead if the number of distinct territories exceeds the practical tag limit.
Badger Maps
Workflows / Follow-up Rules
Nutshell
Not Migrated
1:1Badger's follow-up reminders and any workflow-like rules set in the app (e.g., auto-flag accounts for revisit) do not have a Nutshell equivalent and are not migrated. FlitStack exports the follow-up logic as a reference spreadsheet so Nutshell admins can recreate reminders using Nutshell Tasks and the activity scheduler.

Migration approach
Audit Badger account and field inventory via API
FlitStack connects to Badger Maps using the token-authenticated v2 API to pull a complete export of all Accounts, custom field definitions, check-in records, route groupings, and user accounts. The export includes field types (text, numeric, date), current values, and relationship links. For teams using the Advanced CRM integration, FlitStack also exports synced Lead and Contact records from the CRM side of Badger. The raw export is parsed into a structured mapping plan that lists every source field, its Badger data type, and the proposed Nutshell destination object and field.
Create Nutshell custom fields before data migration
Using Nutshell's API (POST to the custom fields endpoint per object), FlitStack pre-creates all required custom fields identified in the Badger audit — custom Text fields on Company, custom Numeric fields for coordinates and route stop order, custom fields on Lead for territory assignments, and a Source_System_ID__c field on Company to store Badger record IDs. This phase uses the JSON-RPC API with the account's API token. Custom field creation is sequenced to avoid Nutshell's field-naming conflicts (duplicate field names across objects are permitted but must be created individually per object).
Resolve Badger owners to Nutshell users by email
Badger user records are matched against Nutshell Users by email address. For each Badger account, check-in, and lead, the resolved Nutshell User ID is assigned as the owner. Any Badger owner without a matching Nutshell account is flagged in the pre-flight report — the customer either invites that person to Nutshell first or designates a fallback owner before the migration run. Owner resolution must complete before records are written, because Nutshell Activities and Companies require an owner_id field to be set at creation time.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 100–500 records — spanning accounts with custom fields, check-ins with GPS coordinates, route-tagged accounts, and a handful of Badger Leads — is migrated to Nutshell first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing each Badger source field value against the corresponding Nutshell destination field value. The diff report is shared with the customer for verification: custom field mapping accuracy, check-in timestamp preservation, route-tag and territory-tag application, and owner resolution are all confirmed before the full migration commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full dataset is migrated to Nutshell: Accounts → Companies with route tags and stop order, check-ins → Activities linked to Companies, Leads → Leads with territory tags, custom fields populated. During the cutover window (typically 24–48 hours), any new Badger records created or modified by reps in the field are captured by FlitStack's delta pickup. A final reconciliation report confirms record counts match between Badger's pre-migration export and Nutshell's post-migration state. An audit log is delivered with every operation logged, and one-click rollback is available if the reconciliation report shows discrepancies exceeding the agreed tolerance threshold.
