Overview
Moving from Berry CRM to Salesforce Sales Cloud is a migration from a lightweight, small-team platform with minimal public documentation to the enterprise standard CRM with a mature API and extensive ecosystem. Berry CRM's core data model (Contacts, Companies, Deals, Sales Quotes, Products, Projects, Tasks, Invoices) maps to Salesforce standard objects, but the undocumented schema on the source side means we begin every migration with a discovery export to map the actual field names and types before building the pipeline. We handle custom fields as an explicit mapping step during scoping, resolve the Company-to-Account and Deal-to-Opportunity parent references in the correct import order, and migrate activity history through the Bulk API 2.0 with batch chunking. Berry CRM's automations, invoicing workflows, and project management logic do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild in Salesforce Flow or a project management tool.
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 Salesforce Sales Cloud, 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
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead or Contact (split required)
1:manyBerry CRM Contacts map to either Salesforce Lead or Contact based on a lifecycle/status property we discover during the scoping export. If Berry CRM stores a status or type field that distinguishes qualified from unqualified contacts, we apply that as the split rule during migration. If no such field exists, all contacts migrate as Salesforce Leads for the customer's admin to convert post-migration. We preserve any email, phone, address, title, and custom field data from Berry CRM on the destination record.
Berry crm
Company
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1Berry CRM Company records map directly to Salesforce Account. The company name becomes Account.Name and is used as the dedupe key during import. Any domain or website field in Berry CRM maps to Account.Website. We import Account before any Contact so that the AccountId Lookup relationship is satisfied at Contact insert time.
Berry crm
Deal
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity
1:1Berry CRM Deals map to Salesforce Opportunity. Deal name, amount, close date, and stage name transfer directly. We map the deal stage name to a Salesforce StageName value that matches or is configured in the destination org before migration. If Berry CRM stores a deal owner, we resolve that to the Salesforce OwnerId via the User mapping.

Deal Stage
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity Stage
lossyBerry CRM deal stage names become Salesforce StageName values in the Opportunity Sales Process. We configure the stage values in Salesforce before migration and map stage probability percentages to StageProbability. The customer chooses whether to use a single Sales Process or create separate Record Types per deal type during scoping.
Berry crm
Sales Quote
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Quote
1:1Berry CRM Sales Quotes map to Salesforce Quote (available from Professional tier onward). Quote line items migrate to QuoteLineItem with PricebookEntry resolved at migration time. Quote status (draft, sent, accepted, rejected) maps to Salesforce QuoteStatus. Quote PDFs or attachments migrate as ContentDocument records linked to the Quote.
Berry crm
Product
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Product2
1:1Berry CRM Product catalog entries (name, description, SKU, pricing) map to Salesforce Product2 records. We create Standard Price Book entries during the product import phase. Archived or inactive products in Berry CRM are flagged in the migration scope for the customer to decide whether to import or skip.
Berry crm
Price Book
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Pricebook2
1:1Berry CRM Price Books define price lists associated with products. We map them to Salesforce Pricebook2 records and create PricebookEntry records linking each Pricebook2 to the relevant Product2 with the specified unit price. The Standard Pricebook is set as default if no specific price book applies.
Berry crm
Project
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Object (Project__c)
1:1Berry CRM Projects have no direct Salesforce standard object equivalent. We migrate Projects to a custom Project__c object that we pre-create in the destination org during schema design, including fields for project name, status, start date, end date, associated company (Account lookup), and associated contact (Contact lookup). Project-to-task relationships become Task records with WhatId pointing to Project__c.
Berry crm
Task
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task
1:1Berry CRM Tasks map to Salesforce Task with Subject, Status, Priority, ActivityDate, and Description preserved. Task assignment migrates by resolving any Berry CRM owner reference to Salesforce OwnerId via the User mapping. Tasks with a Contact association map WhoId to the migrated Contact record; tasks with a Deal association map WhatId to the migrated Opportunity.
Berry crm
Invoice
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Object (Invoice__c) or Opportunity
1:1Berry CRM Invoices (line items, totals, payment status, billing contact) have no direct Salesforce standard object equivalent. We migrate Invoices to a custom Invoice__c object pre-created during schema design, with fields for invoice number, date, total amount, status, and lookup relationships to Account and Contact. If the customer uses Opportunities for billing, we alternatively map Invoice data to the Opportunity record and its line items.
Berry crm
Owner
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1Berry CRM Owner references on Contact, Company, Deal, Quote, Project, Task, and Invoice migrate by resolving the owner email against the Salesforce User table in the destination org. Any Berry CRM owner without a matching Salesforce User enters a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision the User before record import resumes.
Berry crm
Custom Fields
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Fields
lossyBerry CRM allows custom fields on primary objects but the mechanism is not publicly documented. We detect all custom fields during the discovery export, capture their data types and values, then create explicit mapping rules and corresponding custom fields in Salesforce before any data import. Each custom field is logged in the mapping document with its source name, destination API name, and any transformation logic applied.

Migration approach
Discovery and scoping export
We begin every Berry CRM migration with a discovery export. Because Berry CRM has no documented API or public schema, we run a full data extraction against the most complete export path available to map the actual field names, data types, custom field names, and object relationships. We inventory all objects (Contacts, Companies, Deals, Quotes, Products, Price Books, Projects, Tasks, Invoices), count records per object, and identify any custom fields or non-standard properties. This phase produces a written discovery report and a draft field mapping document for the customer's review.
Schema design and custom field provisioning
We design the destination Salesforce schema in Sandbox. This includes creating the Project__c and Invoice__c custom objects (since neither exists as a standard object in Salesforce), provisioning all discovered Berry CRM custom fields as Salesforce custom fields with type-matched field types, configuring Opportunity stages and Record Types, and setting up the Lead-Contact split rule if applicable. Schema is deployed to Sandbox first for validation, corrected based on any type mismatches, then promoted to Production before data migration begins.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Salesforce Sandbox (Full Copy or Partial Copy) using production-like data volume. The customer's admin reviews record counts, spot-checks 25-50 records against the Berry CRM source, and signs off the schema and mapping before production migration begins. Any field type corrections, dropped fields, or mapping changes happen in Sandbox, not in production. This step validates that the Bulk API pipeline handles the full volume without timeout or referential integrity failures.
Owner reconciliation and User provisioning
We extract every distinct Berry CRM owner referenced on Contacts, Companies, Deals, Quotes, Projects, Tasks, and Invoices and match by email against the Salesforce User table. Owners without a matching Salesforce User enter a reconciliation queue. The customer's Salesforce admin provisions any missing Users and confirms active/inactive status. Migration cannot proceed past this step because OwnerId references are required on most standard objects.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in strict record-dependency order: Accounts (from Companies), Contacts (with AccountId resolved and Lead-Contact split applied), Opportunities (with AccountId, OwnerId, and RecordTypeId resolved), Products and Pricebook2 entries, PricebookEntry records, Quotes and QuoteLineItems, Project__c custom object, Invoice__c custom object, then Tasks and engagement history via Bulk API 2.0. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and automation handoff
We freeze Berry CRM writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Salesforce as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of Berry CRM automations, invoicing workflows, project management rules, and any scheduling logic for the customer's admin to rebuild in Salesforce Flow or a project management tool. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team.
