Overview

What this migration involves

Evatic is a service management platform built around service agreements, work orders, equipment records, and contract lifecycle management — its data model prioritizes technician dispatch, SLA tracking, and asset maintenance over sales pipeline tracking. Nutshell is a sales CRM that organizes data around People (leads and contacts), Companies, and Deals with pipeline stages and activity tracking. The migration from Evatic to Nutshell requires translating service-oriented records into sales-oriented records: Evatic customers and service contacts map to Nutshell People and Companies, service agreement values and contract amounts map to Nutshell Deal records, and custom properties on Evatic service records migrate to Nutshell custom fields on the equivalent objects. Field service-specific objects — work orders, service visits, technician assignments, SLA metrics — have no direct Nutshell equivalents and require custom field storage or manual reconstruction as Nutshell Activities. FlitStack AI accesses Evatic via its API and export tools, sequences the migration so foreign-key relationships resolve correctly (Companies before People, People before Deals), and delivers a field-level diff before the full run commits. Workflows, automations, dispatch rules, and SLA configurations do not migrate and must be rebuilt in Nutshell using Nutshell's built-in automation tools.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Evatic

What's pushing teams away

  • Public review footprint is thin — Capterra lists only 2 reviews and SoftwareWorld coverage is shallow, making independent vendor evaluation difficult.
  • API documentation is gated behind partner portal access (docs.asolvi.com), slowing integration projects and self-service evaluation.
  • Pricing is sales-led with only a vague starting point of $175/month per SoftwareFinder; teams cannot model TCO without a vendor call.
  • DATEV-tight accounting flows lock Nordic/German-market customers into regional fiscal tooling that does not export cleanly when migrating to non-DATEV destinations.
  • Narrow industry focus — Evatic's MPS-centric object model is a strength for print but a liability for service organizations outside the office equipment vertical.

Choosing

Nutshell

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest cost entry point among mid-market CRMs—Foundation plan starts at $13/user/month, making it accessible for teams validating CRM fit before committing.
  • Integrated sales automation and email sequencing on Pro plans without requiring a separate email marketing platform, per verified Capterra reviews.
  • Consistently praised for intuitive interface and fast onboarding, with case studies reporting 100% team adoption rates within initial deployment periods.
  • Strong customer support responsiveness cited across G2 reviews, with dedicated support tiers available on Enterprise plans.
  • Native integrations with WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and Slack reduce reliance on third-party middleware for common communication channels.

Object mapping

How Evatic objects map to Nutshell

Each row shows how a Evatic 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.

Evatic

Customer / Service Contact

maps to

Nutshell

Person (People)

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic stores customer contact records for service recipients. These map directly to Nutshell People records. Email, phone, name, and address fields transfer directly without transformation. Nutshell automatically flags duplicate email addresses during import, allowing your team to review and merge any potential duplicates before finalizing the migration.

Evatic

Customer Organization

maps to

Nutshell

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic's customer organizations map to Nutshell Companies. Company name, domain, address, and industry fields transfer directly. Parent-child organizational hierarchies in Evatic map to Nutshell's parent Company field if your Nutshell plan supports hierarchical company relationships. We verify plan capabilities during discovery.

Evatic

Service Agreement / Contract

maps to

Nutshell

Deal

1:1
Fully supported

Service agreement records carry contract value, start/end dates, and SLA terms. The contract monetary value maps to the Nutshell Deal amount field. The agreement status (active, expired, cancelled) maps to a custom pick-list field since Nutshell Deals use stage-based statuses.

Evatic

Work Order / Service Visit

maps to

Nutshell

Activity (Task)

1:1
Fully supported

Work orders represent discrete service events with technician assignment, date, and outcome. These translate to Nutshell Tasks: the service description becomes the task subject, the scheduled date becomes the due date, and the assigned technician maps to the Nutshell user owner by email match. Outcomes and notes migrate as task descriptions.

Evatic

Equipment / Asset Record

maps to

Nutshell

Custom Field on Company or Person

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic tracks equipment under contract as asset records with model numbers, serial numbers, and service history. These have no direct Nutshell equivalent. We migrate key equipment identifiers and service intervals as custom fields on the linked Company or Person record for reference.

Evatic

Contract Line Item / Service Line

maps to

Nutshell

Custom Field on Deal

1:1
Fully supported

Service agreements in Evatic typically contain multiple line items covering different service types, frequencies, and pricing tiers. We preserve this granular detail by migrating line item specifics as custom fields on the corresponding Nutshell Deal record, ensuring the full scope of contracted services remains visible without requiring a separate object structure in Nutshell.

Evatic

SLA Metric / Service Level Record

maps to

Nutshell

Custom Field on Deal

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic tracks SLA compliance (response time, resolution time, first-contact resolution) per service agreement. These metrics have no Nutshell equivalent. We preserve SLA values as custom number fields on the linked Deal record so the service quality history is accessible post-migration.

Evatic

Technician / Field Engineer

maps to

Nutshell

Nutshell User

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic technician records include names, certifications, and service areas. We resolve Evatic technician emails to Nutshell user accounts. If a technician does not have an email in Evatic, we flag that record for your admin to assign a fallback Nutshell user owner before migration.

Evatic

Attachment / Document on Work Order

maps to

Nutshell

Activity Attachment or Note

1:1
Fully supported

Documents attached to Evatic work orders — including service reports, customer signatures, equipment photos, and completion certificates — re-upload as attachments on the corresponding Nutshell Activity. Nutshell natively supports file attachments on activities, so we re-upload and relink each document to preserve the complete audit trail and service history.

Evatic

Dispatch Rule / Routing Logic

maps to

Nutshell

Not Migrated

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic's automated dispatch rules and service area routing logic are configuration settings that have no Nutshell equivalent. These must be documented manually during a pre-migration audit and rebuilt as Nutshell assignment rules or workflow automations by your Nutshell admin following the migration. FlitStack exports workflow definitions as a reference document to accelerate the rebuild process.

Evatic

SLA Breach History / Escalation Record

maps to

Nutshell

Custom Field on Deal or Note

1:1
Fully supported

Historical SLA breach events and escalation records in Evatic carry service quality history. We migrate the most recent breach date and escalation count as custom fields on the linked Nutshell Deal for reference, but the full escalation audit trail is preserved as a Note attachment.

Evatic

Billing / Invoice Record (from Evatic)

maps to

Nutshell

Not Migrated

1:1
Fully supported

Evatic generates invoices linked to service agreements. Nutshell does not have an invoicing object at the CRM level. Billing records and invoice history must be retained in Evatic or exported to a dedicated accounting tool — we do not migrate financial transaction records to Nutshell.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Service agreement status does not map to Nutshell deal stage by default

    Evatic service agreements carry explicit status values (Active, Expired, Cancelled, On Hold) that are independent of any pipeline stage concept. Nutshell Deals use stage-based statuses (Lead, Qualified, Proposal, Negotiation, Closed Won, Closed Lost) with no native status field. We map Evatic agreement status to Nutshell stage via a value-mapping table, but the mapping is a judgment call: does an 'On Hold' Evatic agreement become a 'Closed Lost' Nutshell Deal or stay in 'Proposal'? Your team must decide the mapping logic before migration runs — FlitStack surfaces this decision point and implements your chosen value mapping.

  • SLA metrics and service level data require Nutshell Pro plan custom fields on Deals

    Nutshell only allows custom fields on Deals if you are on the Pro plan or higher. The Foundation and Starter plans restrict Deal records to the standard set of fields. If your Evatic migration plan requires custom fields to preserve SLA response hours, resolution hours, or breach history on Deals, you must confirm your Nutshell plan supports Deal custom fields before migration begins. FlitStack validates plan eligibility during the discovery call and flags the requirement if your plan limits Deal custom fields.

  • Work orders to Activities loses Evatic's dispatch and routing context

    Evatic work orders are tightly coupled to dispatch logic — which technician is assigned based on service area, skill set, and workload. When work orders migrate to Nutshell Activities, that dispatch context is stripped away. The Activity carries the technician name (mapped to Assigned User) but not the reason for assignment. If your team relies on Evatic's automatic routing rules to understand why a particular technician was sent to a job, that history is lost in the migration. We recommend documenting your routing rules separately for manual recreation in Nutshell assignment rules.

  • Equipment and asset records have no standalone Nutshell object

    Evatic's equipment registry tracks assets under contract with model numbers, serial numbers, service intervals, and maintenance history. Nutshell has no equipment or asset object — these records must be decomposed. Key equipment identifiers (serial number, model) migrate as custom fields on the linked Company record. Maintenance history and service intervals do not have a Nutshell equivalent and are preserved as notes on the Company record. If you need to track equipment-specific service history post-migration, Nutshell's reporting capabilities on Company custom fields will not provide the same depth as Evatic's asset management module.

  • Nutshell does not have an invoicing object — billing records cannot migrate

    Evatic generates invoices linked to service agreements and tracks payment status, invoice amounts, and billing history. Nutshell is a CRM, not an accounting or billing system, and has no invoicing object. Billing records and invoice history must remain in Evatic or be exported to a dedicated accounting tool such as QuickBooks, Xero, or DATEV. We do not migrate invoice records to Nutshell. Your team should retain Evatic read access or export a billing archive before decommissioning.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Evatic to Nutshell data migration

  1. Audit Evatic data export and validate record counts

    FlitStack connects to Evatic via API or export tools to pull a full data extract. We inventory record counts for customers, organizations, service agreements, work orders, equipment, and SLA metrics. This inventory drives the migration scope estimate and identifies which Evatic objects have no Nutshell equivalent, triggering the custom field and transformation planning phase. We also validate that Evatic's API rate limits will not throttle the migration window.

  2. Map Evatic objects to Nutshell objects and resolve owners by email

    We apply the object mapping plan (Companies → Companies, Customers → People, Service Agreements → Deals, Work Orders → Activities, Equipment → Company custom fields). Evatic technician records and customer contact owners are resolved against Nutshell user accounts by email match. Unmatched owners are flagged in a pre-migration report so your team can either invite them to Nutshell or assign their records to a fallback user before data lands.

  3. Set up Nutshell custom fields and value mappings

    Before data moves, FlitStack creates the required custom fields on Nutshell People, Companies, and Deals objects via Nutshell's API. We configure fields such as SLA_Response_Hours__c, SLA_Resolution_Hours__c, Equipment_ID__c, Model_Number__c, Serial_Number__c, Last_SLA_Breach_Date__c, and SLA_Breach_Type__c based on your specific mapping plan. We also create value-mapping tables for agreement status, work order status, industry fields, and SLA breach types so Evatic pick-list values land in the correct Nutshell pick-list options. All field configurations are validated against Nutshell's field type constraints before the migration run begins.

  4. Run a sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice of records — typically 100 to 500 across all object types — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff report showing every source field, its destination value, any transformations applied, and any fields that could not map. You review the diff to confirm SLA status mapping, owner resolution, and custom field population before the full migration run commits.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and rollback plan

    The full migration runs against Nutshell. A delta-pickup window of 24 to 48 hours captures any records created or modified in Evatic during the cutover so Nutshell reflects the final state at go-live. FlitStack maintains an audit log of every record migrated, the transformation applied, and the timestamp. If reconciliation fails — record counts do not match, or critical data is missing — one-click rollback reverts the Nutshell instance to its pre-migration state so you can re-run with corrected mappings.

Strengths

  • Industry-specific MPS data model (Asset / Unit / Meter Read / Contract / Work Order) maps directly to print dealer workflows.
  • Telemetry integration via device collection agents enables proactive preventive maintenance scheduling.
  • Integrated contract entitlement enforcement at the dispatch and service report stages.
  • Documented integrations with Salesforce (CRM), DATEV (accounting), Princity (ITSM), and ServiceNow.
  • Owned by Asolvi, a 30+ year specialist in the office print and equipment service vertical.

Weaknesses

  • Public review corpus is very small — Capterra lists only 2 reviews, limiting independent validation.
  • API documentation is gated behind partner credentials at docs.asolvi.com.
  • Pricing is sales-led with only a $175/month starting reference and no detailed tier breakdown.
  • DATEV accounting integration creates regional lock-in that complicates non-European migrations.
  • Industry narrowness — outside MPS/equipment service the data model is overkill or misaligned.

Strengths

  • Simple, intuitive interface with minimal learning curve for sales teams new to CRM
  • Per-seat pricing is transparent and predictable, with annual billing reducing monthly cost
  • Full data export tool available for all account data including backups
  • Open JSON-RPC API allows programmatic access to all core objects
  • Native multichannel engagement (email, SMS, WhatsApp) without third-party add-ons for communication

Weaknesses

  • Reporting and analytics are considered weak, requiring manual Excel exports for detailed analysis
  • No bulk API endpoint—migration requires paginated API reads that must be rate-limited carefully
  • JSON-RPC API is less common than REST, requiring custom integration code compared to standard REST CRMs
  • Add-on costs (Forms, Nutshell IQ, Email Marketing) are per-company charges that stack on top of per-seat pricing
  • Feature restrictions on entry-level plans mean teams often need mid-tier to get basic automation
