Overview
Berry CRM provides core CRM functionality — contact management, company records, and deal tracking — in a lightweight package designed for smaller teams. HubSpot extends this model with lifecycle stages, multiple deal pipelines, custom objects, and native marketing automation, giving growing teams a broader revenue operations platform. The Berry-to-HubSpot migration carries all standard records (contacts, companies, deals, activities) while surfacing the gaps: Berry's simplified workflow model has no HubSpot automation equivalent, and HubSpot's marketing-contact flag is a billing construct that must be handled separately. FlitStack AI reads Berry's API exports or CSV extracts, transforms each record to match HubSpot's object schema, creates any required custom properties, and loads via HubSpot's import API with owner resolution by email match. A delta-pickup window captures changes made during the cutover so no record is left behind. After migration, your team rebuilds workflows and sequences in HubSpot's workflow builder using FlitStack's exported definitions as a reference guide.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Berry crm object lands in HubSpot, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Berry crm
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Berry CRM contacts map directly to HubSpot contacts. All standard properties such as first name, last name, email address, phone number, physical address, and job title are transferred to the corresponding native HubSpot contact properties. If a contact in Berry CRM does not have an associated company, the contact imports as a standalone HubSpot contact without requiring a placeholder company record, preserving data integrity and avoiding dummy entries.
Berry crm
Company
HubSpot
Company
1:1Berry CRM companies map one-to-one to HubSpot companies. Fields such as company name, domain, industry classification, employee count, and annual revenue are transferred to the matching native HubSpot company properties. In cases where Berry CRM records include parent-child relationships between companies, those hierarchies are recreated in HubSpot using the parent company association field, preserving the organizational structure.
Berry crm
Deal
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Berry CRM deals map to HubSpot deals. Deal name, amount, close date, and owner transfer directly. Berry deal stages map to HubSpot pipeline stages via value mapping — each pipeline in HubSpot requires a corresponding stage set defined before import.
Berry crm
Pipeline
HubSpot
Pipeline + Stage
1:1Berry CRM's single-pipeline model extends to HubSpot's pipeline architecture. If Berry uses multiple deal stages, FlitStack creates a HubSpot pipeline and defines stage values that match Berry's stage names. Stage probability and forecast category re-applied from HubSpot defaults unless specified.
Berry crm
Activity (Call/Email/Meeting)
HubSpot
Engagement (Call/Email/Meeting)
1:1Berry CRM activity logs — including calls, emails, and meetings — map to HubSpot engagements, preserving the original timestamp and owner assignment for each record. Once loaded, these engagements appear in HubSpot's timeline view, attached to the relevant contact and company record, giving users a complete historical view of customer interactions. The mapping also retains engagement direction (inbound/outbound) where applicable.
Berry crm
Note
HubSpot
Note
1:1Berry CRM notes that are attached to contacts, companies, or deals are imported as HubSpot notes. The migration preserves rich-text formatting (such as bold, hyperlinks, and bullet lists) when Berry's export format supports it. Plain-text notes transfer without any transformation, maintaining the original content. The association to the parent record (contact, company, or deal) is retained in HubSpot so that the note appears in the appropriate timeline.
Berry crm
Custom Field
HubSpot
Custom Property
1:1Berry CRM custom fields with no direct HubSpot equivalent require custom property creation in HubSpot before import. FlitStack generates a custom property manifest based on Berry's field definitions, specifying type (text, number, date, dropdown) so properties are created with correct validation rules before data loads.
Berry crm
Owner/User
HubSpot
User
1:1Berry CRM owners resolve to HubSpot users by email match. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — teams either create HubSpot user accounts or assign records to a designated fallback owner. Owner resolution is verified in the sample migration before the full run.
Berry crm
Attachment/File
HubSpot
File
1:1Berry CRM file attachments linked to contacts, companies, or deals are downloaded from Berry and re-uploaded into HubSpot's file management system. Once in HubSpot, each file attaches to the matching HubSpot record, preserving the file name and metadata from Berry's export. HubSpot's file storage limits apply, with a maximum of 25 MB per file; files exceeding this limit are flagged for alternative handling such as linking to a storage URL.
Berry crm
Association (Contact-Company)
HubSpot
Primary Company + Secondary Company
1:1Berry CRM's contact-to-company relationship follows a one-to-many model where each contact links to a single primary company. This primary link is migrated to HubSpot's primary company field on the contact record. When a contact in Berry is associated with multiple companies, those additional associations are imported as secondary company links in HubSpot, preserving the full network of company relationships for each contact.
Berry crm
Workflow/Automation
HubSpot
N/A
1:1Berry CRM workflows and automation logic have no migration path to HubSpot. FlitStack exports Berry workflow definitions as a structured reference document that your HubSpot admin uses to rebuild automations in HubSpot's Workflows tool. This export is included in every engagement.

Migration approach
Extract Berry CRM data via API or CSV export
FlitStack AI connects to Berry CRM using your API credentials or exports data via CSV if the API is unavailable. We extract contacts, companies, deals, activities (calls, emails, meetings, notes), custom fields, and owner records. The extract includes create dates, last-modified dates, and association links between records. We validate record counts and association integrity against Berry's internal references before transformation begins.
Profile data quality and map fields to HubSpot schema
Before any data loads, we profile Berry CRM's custom field values to identify type ambiguity, pick-list inconsistencies, and orphaned records (contacts without companies, deals without owners). We generate a field mapping document that specifies every translation: direct mappings, value mappings for pick-list fields, transformation rules for date formats and numeric fields, and custom property creation requests for fields with no HubSpot equivalent. Your team reviews and approves the mapping before migration runs.
Create HubSpot custom properties and configure pipelines
HubSpot requires custom properties to exist before import — we create them using the type specifications from the profiling step. If your Berry CRM uses multiple deal stage sets, we create the corresponding HubSpot pipelines and define stage values that match Berry's stage names. Owner email addresses are resolved against HubSpot user accounts; unmatched owners are flagged for your team to create accounts or assign to a fallback owner before the import sequence runs.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 100–500 records spanning contacts, companies, deals, and activities — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff showing source values alongside destination values for every mapped field. You verify that Berry deal stages map correctly to HubSpot pipeline stages, owner resolution works for all matched users, and custom property values land as expected. The sample run reveals mapping gaps before the full dataset commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full dataset loads into HubSpot in dependency order: companies first, then contacts with company associations, then deals with owner and contact associations, then activities with parent-record links. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures records created or modified in Berry CRM during the cutover. FlitStack logs every import operation in an audit trail. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails — no record is permanently committed until you sign off.
