Overview
Claritysoft and Nutshell both target SMB sales teams but differ in data model depth and pricing tier structure. Claritysoft separates Accounts, Contacts, Leads, and Opportunities with role-based Profile Layouts and a three-tier per-user model starting at $49; Nutshell unifies People (contacts) and Companies (accounts) under a simpler per-user model starting at $13 with no storage limits. The migration is a data consolidation from a multi-module schema into a flatter structure: Claritysoft's separate Accounts and Contacts map to Nutshell's Companies and People, Opportunities map to Nutshell's Deals, and Activities map to Nutshell's Activity timeline. Custom Modules and Custom Fields require field-by-field mapping since Claritysoft's calculated-field logic has no direct Nutshell equivalent. Workflows and date-trigger automations do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild post-migration.
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 Claritysoft 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.
Claritysoft
Contact
Nutshell
Person
1:1Claritysoft Contacts map directly to Nutshell People. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address, company association) transfer directly. The Claritysoft contact-to-account link resolves to the Nutshell Company lookup. We flag any Contacts without an associated Account since Nutshell People can exist without a Company link, but the customer should decide whether to require company association post-migration.
Claritysoft
Account
Nutshell
Company
1:1Claritysoft Accounts map to Nutshell Companies 1:1. Company name, website, address, industry, and revenue fields transfer directly. Nutshell Companies do not have a separate type field; we map Claritysoft's Account Type to a Nutshell custom field or leave blank if the customer prefers a flat structure.
Claritysoft
Lead
Nutshell
Lead
1:1Claritysoft Leads transfer to Nutshell Leads with lifecycle stage preserved. Claritysoft's New, Contacted, Qualified stages map to Nutshell's Lead status values, with the original stage stored in a custom field for audit. Any lead scoring values transfer as a numeric custom field.
Claritysoft
Opportunity
Nutshell
Deal
1:1Claritysoft Opportunities map to Nutshell Deals. Deal amount, stage, probability, expected close date, and owner transfer directly. Claritysoft pipeline stage names map to Nutshell pipeline stage names; if the names differ significantly, we document the mapping and the customer configures the pipeline stages in Nutshell before migration begins.
Claritysoft
Activity (Call, Meeting, Task)
Nutshell
Activity (Call, Meeting, Task)
1:1Claritysoft Activities (Calls, Meetings, Tasks) map to Nutshell's activity timeline entries. Timestamps, owners, linked record associations, and disposition data transfer directly. Note that Nutshell's activity model is simpler than Claritysoft's; detailed call disposition codes without a Nutshell equivalent become custom fields.
Claritysoft
Document and Attachment
Nutshell
Attachment
1:1Documents attached to Claritysoft records (Contacts, Accounts, Opportunities) are extracted and re-attached to the corresponding Nutshell People, Companies, or Deal records. Attachment storage conventions differ between platforms; we flag the count and total size of attachments during discovery and warn if the total exceeds typical Nutshell attachment limits.
Claritysoft
Custom Field
Nutshell
Custom Field
1:1Claritysoft Custom Fields on Contacts, Accounts, Leads, and Opportunities map to Nutshell customFields. Nutshell stores custom fields in a dedicated customFields dictionary per record, so we reformat the field schema during transform. Calculated Custom Fields from Claritysoft Accelerator or Enterprise have no Nutshell equivalent; we migrate the calculated values as static data and document the calculated-field logic for manual rebuild.
Claritysoft
Custom Module
Nutshell
Custom Field or External Object
1:1Claritysoft Custom Modules (available on Accelerator and Enterprise tiers) have no direct Nutshell equivalent. We migrate the module data as a set of custom fields on the nearest standard object (typically People or Companies) or as a separate entity documented for the customer to review. If the Custom Module has lookup relationships to standard objects, we map those to Nutshell custom field lookups where the data model supports it.
Claritysoft
Workflow
Nutshell
Workflow (documented, not migrated)
lossyClaritysoft Workflows do not migrate as automation code. We export the full workflow definition including triggers, conditions, actions, and date-based logic during discovery. Nutshell's Workflow Management feature (available on Sales Growth and above) handles task automation and lead routing differently; we deliver a written workflow inventory with recommended Nutshell equivalents and the customer rebuilds manually post-migration.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Claritysoft gotchas
API access gated behind tier — Professional users cannot export via API
1 million record limit on Enterprise tier is migration-critical for large datasets
API key inherits owner's permission scope — limited-user keys miss records
Workflow Date Triggers require Enterprise tier and do not migrate cleanly
Importing bad data is a known failure mode Claritysoft warns against
Nutshell gotchas
Contact tier limits enforced on import
No bulk API endpoint requires paginated extraction
Email sequences not exportable via API
Foundation plan disables key sales features
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and plan verification
We audit the source Claritysoft account across plan tier (Professional/Accelerator/Enterprise), record counts per object (Contacts, Accounts, Leads, Opportunities, Activities), Custom Module definitions, Custom Field schemas, active Workflow definitions, and any API key scope restrictions. We confirm the plan tier because Professional accounts lack API access and require manual extraction. The discovery output is a written migration scope, a data volume summary, and a confirmed migration path (API-based or manual-export-assisted).
Data profiling and source cleanup
We run a data profiling pass on the extracted Claritysoft data: duplicate detection on email and company name, required-field completeness checks (Contacts without email, Accounts without name), date format normalization, and orphaned record identification. We deliver a data quality report to the customer and scope a cleanup sprint before migration begins. Source data quality is the single most important predictor of post-migration cleanliness in Nutshell.
Nutshell pipeline and field configuration
Before any data import, we configure the Nutshell destination: pipeline stage names mapped from Claritysoft's pipeline stages, custom fields created to receive Claritysoft custom field data, and any required picklist values populated. If Nutshell's default pipeline structure differs from Claritysoft's, we map each Claritysoft stage to the closest Nutshell equivalent. This step requires the customer to confirm the pipeline configuration before we proceed to data load.
Record import in dependency order
We import records into Nutshell in dependency order: Companies (from Claritysoft Accounts) first, then People (from Claritysoft Contacts with Company lookup resolved), then Leads, then Deals (with owner and stage resolved), then Activities (Tasks, Calls, Meetings), and finally custom field data. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. We use the Nutshell API (Enterprise tier) or Import2 CSV import (non-Enterprise) depending on the source plan tier. Attachments are imported last after the parent record links are established.
Workflow inventory and admin handoff
We deliver a written inventory of every active Claritysoft Workflow with its trigger conditions, actions, and date-based logic, mapped to a recommended Nutshell Workflow Management equivalent. The customer's admin rebuilds the automation logic in Nutshell post-migration using this document. We do not migrate Workflows as code because Claritysoft and Nutshell use fundamentally different automation models. Custom Module restructuring recommendations are delivered as a separate schema-change document for the customer to implement.
