Migrate your Daffodil CRM data
A custom-built CRM from an Indian software consultancy, designed for small teams needing coordinated sales, marketing, and service workflows. Market presence is minimal with fewer than 20 documented customers.
In its favor
Why people choose Daffodil CRM
The signal that keeps Daffodil CRM on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Coordination across sales, marketing, and service teams appeals to small businesses that want a single view of the customer without managing multiple disconnected tools.
Custom development capability means Daffodil Software can tailor the CRM to industry-specific workflows rather than forcing generic process adoption.
Ease of dashboard use is cited positively in G2 reviews, with users noting that reporting views are accessible without advanced technical knowledge.
Integration with other Daffodil-built tools or custom applications is smoother when the entire stack comes from the same software house.
Limited integration ecosystem frustrates teams that rely on third-party tools like Zapier, Outlook, or Google Workspace, as the platform lacks broad connector support.
Steep learning curve for advanced features — G2 reviewers note that certain features like proof growth tracking are difficult to understand without dedicated onboarding.
Small customer base and minimal market visibility make it risky for growing teams concerned about long-term vendor stability and support availability.
Users report the platform needs more work on seamless integrations, indicating gaps in API connectivity and data sync with external systems.

What gets migrated
Daffodil CRM object support
Object-by-object support for Daffodil CRM migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Contacts
Mapping requiredContact records are the primary entity in Daffodil CRM migrations. We extract contact name, email, phone, company association, lifecycle stage, and custom fields via CSV export or direct database access. Field naming may differ from standard CRM conventions depending on the customer's configuration.
Companies/Accounts
Mapping requiredCompany records can be exported separately or alongside contacts. We preserve the contact-to-company relationship by matching on company name or external ID during import into the destination CRM. Parent-child company hierarchies, if present, require manual mapping to the target schema.
Deals/Opportunities
Mapping requiredPipeline deals in Daffodil CRM map to Opportunities or Deals in destination platforms. We capture deal name, amount, stage, expected close date, owner assignment, and associated contacts. Custom pipeline stages must be remapped to the target CRM's stage names and order.
Activities/Tasks
Mapping requiredActivity records (calls, emails, meetings, tasks) export as flat rows. We map activity type, date, duration, outcome, and related contact or deal. Activity logs may need to be linked back to contacts and deals by matching identifiers or timestamps if relationships are not explicitly stored.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom fields are supported on contacts, companies, and deals. We export field names, types, and values. Multi-select picklist fields and date fields may require reformatting to match destination validation rules. Deprecated or stale custom fields are flagged for archival rather than migration.
Users/Owners
Mapping requiredUser records (sales reps, managers, admins) are migrated as owner assignments on records. We map user name, email, role, and team membership. Active status is preserved; inactive users are archived in the destination unless reactivation is requested.
Attachments
Not in this platformFile attachments stored within Daffodil CRM (documents, images, uploaded files) are not reliably exportable via standard CSV. We do not migrate attachments directly; instead, we export attachment metadata and provide a file path manifest so the customer can relocate files manually.
Tags/Labels
Mapping requiredTags applied to contacts, companies, or deals export as comma-separated values or individual rows. We flatten multi-value tag fields during mapping and reassemble them in the destination CRM using that platform's native tagging mechanism.
