Overview
Berry CRM and Monday.com CRM serve different positions in the market, and that difference shapes every migration. Berry CRM is a lightweight all-in-one from Raspberry IT Services aimed at small teams; it has minimal public documentation, no published API reference, and a data model centered on Contacts, Companies, Deals, Sales Quotes, Products, Price Books, Projects, Tasks, and Invoices. Monday.com CRM is a configurable Work OS ranked #4 in the CRM category on G2 with a 4.5/5 rating and 98% recommendation rate, offering unlimited contacts, customizable pipelines, and a board-based data model where Items represent records and Groups represent object types. The migration requires a discovery export from Berry CRM to map the actual schema before any transform runs, because no public field reference exists. We map Berry CRM primary records to Monday.com Items within CRM boards, preserve deal-to-contact associations, and flag any Price Book, Project, and Invoice structures that require custom board reconstruction in Monday.com. Workflows, automations, and custom integrations do not migrate as code; we deliver a written map for the customer's admin to rebuild.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Berry crm object lands in monday CRM, 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
monday CRM
Contact (or Item within Contacts board)
1:1Berry CRM Contact records map to Monday.com Items in a Contacts board or directly to Monday.com's native Contacts feature. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address) map to Monday.com's Name, Email, Phone, and Location column types. We extract what Berry CRM exposes in the export and map to typed Monday.com columns. Any custom fields on Contact in Berry CRM are flagged during discovery and created as additional column types in the destination board before import.
Berry crm
Company
monday CRM
Organization (or Item within Companies board)
1:1Berry CRM Company records map to Monday.com Organizations or Items in a Companies board. The company-contact relationship in Berry CRM maps to Monday.com's native person-to-organization link. Company-level custom fields migrate as additional columns in the destination board. If the customer uses Monday.com Organizations feature, we map Companies directly to Organizations; otherwise we use a board with a Contact link column.
Berry crm
Deal
monday CRM
Item within Deals board
1:1Berry CRM Deals map to Monday.com Items within a CRM Deals board. Deal amount, close date, stage name, and associated contact all migrate as typed columns (Numbers, Date, Status, Connect boards or Person columns). Pipeline stages in Berry CRM map to Monday.com Status column values which we configure during board setup before migration. Deal-to-Contact associations are preserved through Monday.com's Connect boards column or Person column linkage.
Berry crm
Sales Quote
monday CRM
Item within Quotes board
1:1Berry CRM Sales Quotes map to Items in a dedicated Quotes board. Quote line items, total amounts, status (Draft, Sent, Accepted, Rejected), and quote-to-deal association all migrate. We reconstruct quote line items as subitems or as a structured text column depending on the customer's Monday.com plan tier. Quote PDFs and attachments from Berry CRM migrate as file attachments on the corresponding Items.
Berry crm
Product
monday CRM
Item within Products board
1:1Berry CRM Products map to Items in a Products board with columns for product name, description, unit price, and SKU. We extract the product catalog during discovery and pre-create the Products board in Monday.com before any Quote import begins so that the quote-to-product link resolves at migration time. Inactive or archived products are flagged for optional import.
Berry crm
Price Book
monday CRM
Price List columns on Products board
lossyBerry CRM Price Books define price lists associated with products. Monday.com does not have a native Price Book object, so we reconstruct price lists as additional Number columns on the Products board (one column per Price Book). This preserves the price list-to-product relationship while mapping to Monday.com's column-based data model. Customers with multiple Price Books receive a separate column for each list.
Berry crm
Project
monday CRM
Board or Items within Operations board
1:manyBerry CRM Projects contain tasks and metadata that do not map directly to Monday.com's CRM boards. We assess whether Projects represent work tracking (mapped to a Monday.com work management Board) or client-facing project records (mapped to Items in a CRM Projects board with subitems for tasks). The customer's intended use determines the board structure. Project metadata (status, dates, budget) maps to typed columns; tasks map as subitems or as Items in a linked board.
Berry crm
Task
monday CRM
Subitem or Item in Tasks board
1:1Berry CRM Task records (activity-level tasks tied to contacts, companies, or deals) map to Monday.com Subitems on the parent record or Items in a separate Tasks board. Task title, due date, assignee, and completion status map to Monday.com Text, Date, Person, and Status columns. If Tasks are tied to a specific Deal in Berry CRM, we link them via a Connect boards column in Monday.com to preserve the relationship. Standalone Tasks without a parent record are migrated as Items in a Tasks board.
Berry crm
Invoice
monday CRM
Item within Invoices board
1:1Berry CRM Invoices map to Items in an Invoices board with columns for invoice number, date, line items, total, payment status, and linked contact. Invoice line items are reconstructed as subitems or structured text columns. Payment status (Paid, Unpaid, Overdue) maps to a Monday.com Status column. If Berry CRM generates invoice PDFs, we attach them to the corresponding Items. Invoice-to-contact association is preserved through the Person or Connect boards column.
Berry crm
Custom Field
monday CRM
Additional columns on destination board
lossyBerry CRM custom fields are not publicly documented, which means we cannot pre-define mapping rules without a discovery export. During scoping we run a data extraction that identifies all non-standard fields on Contact, Company, Deal, Quote, and Invoice objects. Each discovered custom field is then created as a typed column in the corresponding Monday.com board before import. This discovery-heavy approach is required for Berry CRM specifically because the platform has no published schema reference.

Migration approach
Discovery and URL verification
We verify the correct Berry CRM instance URL with the customer and run a discovery export to map the actual data structure. This export identifies all populated objects (Contacts, Companies, Deals, Quotes, Products, Price Books, Projects, Tasks, Invoices), all field names, all custom field definitions, and record counts per object. Because Berry CRM has no public API documentation, this discovery step is mandatory and cannot be replaced with pre-existing schema references. The discovery output is a written schema map with field-to-type assignments for Monday.com column creation.
Monday.com board design
We design the destination Monday.com workspace including Contacts board (or use Monday.com's native Contacts feature), Companies board (or Organizations), Deals pipeline board, Quotes board, Products board with Price Book columns, Tasks board or subitems, Invoices board, and any custom boards required for Projects. We configure Status columns, Person columns, Connect boards columns, Date columns, and number columns during this phase. Board design is validated against the Berry CRM schema map to ensure every source field has a destination column before import begins.
Sandbox migration and mapping validation
We run a full migration into a test Monday.com workspace using the discovered Berry CRM data. The customer reviews the imported Items for field accuracy, relationship integrity (Deal-to-Contact links, Quote-to-Product links), and overall board structure. Any mapping corrections, missing columns, or structural changes happen in this phase. We do not proceed to production migration until the customer signs off on the sandbox result.
Owner and contact resolution
We extract all assignees and contacts from Berry CRM tasks and deals and match them by name or email against Monday.com Users. Any assignees without a matching Monday.com User go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision. This step ensures that Person columns resolve correctly during the production import and no assignments are orphaned.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Products (first because Quotes and Price Books reference products), Price Books as additional columns on Products, Contacts and Companies (in parallel), Deals (with contact link resolution), Quotes (with deal and product link resolution), Tasks (as subitems or linked Items), Projects (as separate boards or CRM items), Invoices (with contact and product links). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. Any unmapped custom fields discovered during production are added to the destination board and the affected phase is re-run.
Cutover, validation, and workflow handoff
We freeze Berry CRM writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the window, then enable Monday.com as the system of record. We deliver a written board structure guide and a list of any automations, filters, or views that the customer's admin should configure in Monday.com to complete the setup. We support a three-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild automations or workflows inside the migration scope; these are documented separately for the customer's admin to configure using Monday.com's automation builder.
