Overview
FieldPro organizes field operations around route optimization, field employee tracking, attendance management, and work-order automation. Nutshell organizes around sales contacts, company accounts, lead management, and deal pipelines. These are different mental models: FieldPro is task-centric with field workers as the primary entity; Nutshell is contact-centric with People and Companies as the primary records. FlitStack AI extracts FieldPro's contact records, company associations, task histories, and any deal or invoice data through FieldPro's API, then maps these into Nutshell's standard object graph. Owner resolution happens by email match against Nutshell users. Field service workflows—routing rules, geofencing alerts, mobile route assignments—do not migrate because Nutshell has no equivalent construct. Your team will need to rebuild those manually in Nutshell's task automation tools or accept a simpler model. Activity history (visits, check-ins, completed tasks) migrates as Nutshell Tasks with original timestamps preserved. The migration preserves all original creation dates, owner assignments, and activity timestamps so your sales team inherits a complete record on day one.
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 FieldPro 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.
FieldPro
Field Employee
Nutshell
Nutshell User
1:1FieldPro field workers map to Nutshell Users as the owner of records. Email-based matching is used to resolve each FieldPro user to the corresponding Nutshell user account. Records owned by FieldPro workers who have no Nutshell account are assigned to a fallback owner flagged before migration.
FieldPro
Customer / Contact
Nutshell
Nutshell Person
1:1FieldPro customer records map directly to Nutshell People. A FieldPro customer may have one or more associated contacts; each becomes a separate Nutshell Person record with a link to the parent Company in Nutshell. If a FieldPro customer record contains custom properties, those values transfer to corresponding Nutshell custom fields on the Person record after pre-migration field creation.
FieldPro
Company / Account
Nutshell
Nutshell Company
1:1FieldPro company or account records map to Nutshell Companies. Company addresses, industry classification, and revenue estimates translate to Nutshell Company fields. If FieldPro uses parent-child hierarchies, the top-level company becomes the Nutshell Company and child locations are created as separate Nutshell Companies linked by a custom Parent_Company__c field.
FieldPro
Lead / Prospect
Nutshell
Nutshell Lead
1:1FieldPro leads or prospects that are not yet converted to customers map to Nutshell Leads. Lead status values in FieldPro are mapped to Nutshell Lead status pick-list values through a value-mapping table created during the mapping phase. This mapping ensures that lead qualification stages and source attributions translate correctly into Nutshell's lead management workflow.
FieldPro
Deal / Work Order
Nutshell
Nutshell Deal
1:1FieldPro deals and work orders map to Nutshell Deals, but the semantics differ. FieldPro work-order status (e.g., Assigned, In Progress, Completed) maps to Nutshell Deal stage pick-list values, with Completed mapping to Won and active statuses mapping to pipeline stages. Deal value translates to Nutshell Deal monetary value. FieldPro work-order ID is preserved as Source_Work_Order_ID__c on the Nutshell Deal.
FieldPro
Field Visit / Task Completion
Nutshell
Nutshell Task
1:1FieldPro field visit logs, check-ins, and completed tasks map to Nutshell Tasks. The task subject uses FieldPro's activity type (e.g., 'Site Visit', 'Delivery Completed'). Original timestamps from FieldPro are preserved in Nutshell Task's created date and completion date fields. Owner is set to the FieldPro field worker matched to a Nutshell User by email.
FieldPro
Route / Route Assignment
Nutshell
No equivalent in Nutshell
1:1FieldPro route and route-assignment records have no direct Nutshell equivalent. Nutshell does not support route planning, geofencing, or field-employee scheduling. Route names and assignments are preserved as Nutshell Task records with custom fields (Route_Name__c, Route_Date__c) for reference, but the operational scheduling logic must be rebuilt in a dedicated field-service or routing tool post-migration.
FieldPro
Attendance Record
Nutshell
No equivalent in Nutshell
1:1FieldPro attendance and check-in records (clock-in, clock-out, GPS location at check-in) have no Nutshell equivalent. These records are not migrated. If attendance history is critical for compliance, it should be exported from FieldPro as a separate CSV report and stored outside Nutshell.
FieldPro
Custom Field (per object)
Nutshell
Nutshell Custom Field
1:1FieldPro custom properties on any object (Customer, Company, Work Order) require a pre-migration step to create matching Nutshell custom fields in Settings > Custom Fields. FieldPro stores custom field names and types in its schema export; FlitStack generates a Nutshell custom-field creation plan with field names, types (text, number, date, picklist), and pick-list options where applicable. After creation, data migrates directly into the new Nutshell custom fields.
FieldPro
Invoice / Billing Record
Nutshell
Nutshell Note (or custom field)
1:1FieldPro invoices and billing records do not map to a native Nutshell object. If invoice data contains meaningful context (e.g., linked deal value, payment status), FlitStack creates a Nutshell Note on the associated Deal record containing the invoice summary (number, amount, date, status). Invoice line items are included as note body text. For full invoice accounting, a separate export to accounting software is recommended.

Migration approach
Audit FieldPro data model and export API
FlitStack connects to FieldPro via API using admin credentials and extracts a full schema inventory: all standard and custom objects, field names, field types, and pick-list values. We also pull a record-count summary per object. This inventory drives the mapping plan and surfaces any FieldPro fields that have no Nutshell equivalent and need a custom field or note-based approach. The schema inventory also identifies any required value-mapping tables for pick-list fields that will need alignment during the migration configuration phase.
Design and validate the mapping plan with the customer
FlitStack produces a detailed mapping document: object-level mappings, field-level transformations, value-mapping tables for pick-lists, and a list of Nutshell custom fields to pre-create. The customer reviews and approves the mapping plan, with specific attention to work-order status → Deal stage alignment and owner resolution rules. This session also identifies any FieldPro records (e.g., attendance logs, route assignments) that will not migrate and sets expectations accordingly.
Create Nutshell custom fields and resolve owners
The customer (or FlitStack acting as an admin) creates all Nutshell custom fields identified in the mapping plan. FlitStack simultaneously audits the Nutshell user list and attempts email-based matching against FieldPro owners. Any unmatched owners are flagged with the customer, who either creates Nutshell accounts for them or designates a fallback owner before migration runs. No records migrate without a resolved owner or a designated fallback.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative sample (typically 200–500 records across People, Companies, Deals, and Tasks) migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source FieldPro values against destination Nutshell values. The customer reviews the diff, confirms that work-order status → Deal stage mapping is correct, and approves or requests adjustments before the full run proceeds. The sample validation also confirms that custom field data transfers correctly and that any transformed values (such as status mappings) display as expected in the Nutshell interface.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
Full migration runs in phases keyed by foreign-key dependencies: Companies first (to resolve company_id for contacts), then People and Leads, then Deals linked to the migrated companies and contacts, then Tasks linked to owners and parent records. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) runs after the initial load to capture any FieldPro records modified during the cutover period. FlitStack produces an audit log of every record written, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation identifies unexpected gaps.
