Overview

What this migration involves

Fieldproxy organizes field service operations around jobs, tasks, and technician dispatch, while Nutshell models sales relationships around People, Companies, and Deals. The two platforms share a record-based architecture — organizations, contacts, and time-stamped activities migrate directly — but Fieldproxy's job lifecycle (scheduled, in-progress, completed, invoiced) has no native Nutshell equivalent and must be translated into Nutshell's Deal stages or stored as a custom field. We map Fieldproxy's Organizations to Nutshell Companies, People to Nutshell People, active jobs to Nutshell Deals (with a custom job_status field to preserve the original lifecycle state), tasks to Activities, and attachments to Nutshell Files. Workflows, dispatch rules, and automation logic in Fieldproxy cannot migrate and must be rebuilt using Nutshell's automation tools or exported as a rebuild reference. Our migration engine uses Fieldproxy's REST API and Nutshell's JSON-RPC API, sequences records to resolve foreign-key dependencies, and runs a delta-pickup window at cutover to capture any in-flight job updates.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Fieldproxy

What's pushing teams away

  • G2 reviewers report intermittent technical issues and errors during ticket management, with support response times occasionally delaying urgent resolutions.
  • Documentation coverage is thin — users and migration teams have limited self-service reference material when troubleshooting or scoping data exports.
  • Support responsiveness varies; some reviewers experienced delays when raising non-critical but blocking issues during operational hours.
  • Custom workflow complexity can outpace the platform's ability to surface them clearly, making it harder to audit what automations exist before migrating away.

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 Fieldproxy objects map to Nutshell

Each row shows how a Fieldproxy 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.

Fieldproxy

Organization

maps to

Nutshell

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Fieldproxy Organizations map directly to Nutshell Companies. Organization name maps to Company name, domain maps to the website field, and address fields (street, city, state, postal_code, country) map to the corresponding Nutshell Company address fields. If an Organization has multiple locations, each location is evaluated for whether it warrants a separate Nutshell Company record based on your specification.

Fieldproxy

Person

maps to

Nutshell

Person

1:1
Fully supported

Fieldproxy People map to Nutshell People on a 1:1 basis. The Person's name, email, phone, title, and address fields map directly. Nutshell People are linked to a primary Company via the Company field on the Person record. For Fieldproxy People associated with multiple Organizations, the primary association maps to the Nutshell Company field; secondary associations are captured as notes or a custom field.

Fieldproxy

Job

maps to

Nutshell

Deal

1:1
Fully supported

Fieldproxy Jobs map to Nutshell Deals. The Job name maps to Deal name, the estimated or final job amount maps to Deal amount, and the assigned technician's email resolves to the Nutshell user as Deal owner. Job status (Scheduled, In Progress, Completed, Invoiced) maps to a custom field on the Deal so the original service lifecycle is preserved. Active jobs map to open Deal stages; invoiced jobs map to Won.

Fieldproxy

Job Status

maps to

Nutshell

Custom field: Job_Status__c (on Deal)

1:1
Fully supported

Nutshell has no native equivalent to Fieldproxy's job status lifecycle. We create a custom pick-list field (Job_Status__c) on Nutshell Deals populated with Fieldproxy's exact status values (Scheduled, In Progress, Completed, Invoiced, Cancelled). This preserves the full service lifecycle in Nutshell without altering the standard Deal object behavior.

Fieldproxy

Task

maps to

Nutshell

Activity (Note)

1:1
Fully supported

Fieldproxy Tasks (work order line items or checklist items) migrate as Nutshell Notes attached to the corresponding Deal or Person. Each Note captures the task description, completion status, and timestamp. If a Task has a technician assignment, the Note records the technician name and completion time for audit continuity.

Fieldproxy

Attachment / File

maps to

Nutshell

File

1:1
Fully supported

Fieldproxy file attachments on Jobs or People are downloaded and re-uploaded to Nutshell Files, linked to the corresponding Person, Company, or Deal record. File size limits on the destination apply (Nutshell's file handling follows standard web upload limits). We preserve original file names and timestamps to maintain audit continuity.

Fieldproxy

Technician / User

maps to

Nutshell

User

1:1
Fully supported

Fieldproxy technician records map to Nutshell Users by email address match. A technician who is also a sales contact in Fieldproxy becomes both a Nutshell User (if they log in) and a Nutshell Person. Unmatched technicians are flagged before migration — you either invite them to Nutshell or assign their records to a fallback owner.

Fieldproxy

Organization custom fields

maps to

Nutshell

Company custom fields

1:1
Fully supported

Fieldproxy Organization custom fields (e.g., service_tier, contract_type, SLA_level) migrate as Nutshell Company custom fields. We create the equivalent field type in Nutshell (text, number, pick-list, date, or checkbox) before data migration so the mapping resolves cleanly. If a custom field uses a pick‑list, we replicate the exact options to ensure data consistency in reports and filters.

Fieldproxy

Person custom fields

maps to

Nutshell

Person custom fields

1:1
Fully supported

Fieldproxy Person custom fields (e.g., certification_expiry, fleet_vehicle_id) migrate as Nutshell Person custom fields. Field types are matched or the closest Nutshell equivalent is used, with notes in the migration plan for your review before the full run. If a field contains date information, we map it to a Nutshell date field to enable time‑based triggers and reporting.

Fieldproxy

Job line items / parts

maps to

Nutshell

Custom field on Deal (parts list)

1:1
Fully supported

Fieldproxy job line items and parts used do not have a native Nutshell equivalent. We store the parts list as a custom text or JSON field on the Deal for reference, or surface it as a Note attachment listing each line item with quantity and price.

Fieldproxy

Workflow / Automation

maps to

Nutshell

N/A — rebuild required

1:1
Fully supported

Fieldproxy workflows, dispatch rules, and AI scheduling automations do not migrate. They must be rebuilt in Nutshell using Nutshell's personal email sequences and basic automation triggers, or documented via our workflow export for your Nutshell admin to reference. Our export includes trigger conditions, action steps, and field dependencies to guide the rebuild process.

Fieldproxy

Integration connections

maps to

Nutshell

N/A — rebuild required

1:1
Fully supported

Fieldproxy integrations with QuickBooks, Stripe, Calendar, WhatsApp, and Gmail are platform-specific connections that must be re-established in Nutshell. Nutshell's marketplace lists 200+ native integrations including QuickBooks, Stripe, and Google Workspace — your admin can reconnect these post-migration. We also provide a connection checklist and configuration notes for each integration to speed up the re‑setup.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Job status lifecycle has no native Nutshell equivalent — custom field mapping is required

    Fieldproxy's job model includes a status lifecycle (Scheduled, In Progress, Completed, Invoiced) that governs dispatch and billing. Nutshell Deals have a pipeline-stage pick-list for sales progression but no native field for service-job status. FlitStack AI creates a custom pick-list field (Job_Status__c) on Nutshell Deals populated with Fieldproxy's exact status values and maps active jobs to open Nutshell stages while Invoiced jobs route to Won. This preserves the full lifecycle in a custom field without breaking Nutshell's standard Deal behavior.

  • Job line items and parts cannot map to a native Nutshell construct

    Fieldproxy Jobs contain line items and parts used during service visits. Nutshell Deals have no native line-items or product-inventory model — Deals store a single value amount and a stage. We store the parts list as a custom text field on the Deal or attach it as a Note listing each line item with quantity and unit price. If your team needs line-item detail in Nutshell, a separate inventory or product management integration must be added post-migration; the migration plan will flag this gap explicitly.

  • Multi-organization Person associations collapse to a single primary Company link

    Fieldproxy allows a single Person record to be associated with multiple Organizations — for example, a technician who is also a contact at a customer organization. Nutshell People have a single primary Company field. We migrate the primary association by your specified rule (most-recently-modified or most-active) and append secondary Organization names to a custom text field (Other_Organizations__c) on the Person record. Your admin can review and re-link secondary associations manually after migration.

  • Fieldproxy workflows and dispatch automations have no Nutshell equivalent and must be rebuilt

    Fieldproxy's AI-powered scheduling engine, dispatch rules, and customer notification workflows are built on Fieldproxy's proprietary automation layer and do not expose transferable logic via API. Nutshell's automation is limited to personal email sequences and stage-entry triggers. We export your Fieldproxy workflow definitions as a structured document so your Nutshell admin can reference them when rebuilding equivalent automations in Nutshell or a complementary tool. This is always a manual rebuild step — no automated translation is possible.

  • Nutshell contact-tier pricing creates a cap that Fieldproxy's unlimited-user model does not

    Nutshell pricing tiers include contact-count limits ranging from 100 (Foundation) to 900,000+ contacts. Fieldproxy uses unlimited-user pricing. If your Fieldproxy dataset exceeds your target Nutshell plan's contact cap, you will either need to upgrade the Nutshell plan or scope the migration to exclude stale or inactive contacts. We report the contact count against your Nutshell plan tier before the migration runs so you can decide on scope or plan upgrade.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Fieldproxy to Nutshell data migration

  1. Audit Fieldproxy data and design Nutshell schema

    FlitStack AI extracts a full export of your Fieldproxy Organizations, People, Jobs, Tasks, and custom fields via the Fieldproxy REST API. We analyze record counts, custom field types, job status distributions, and technician counts. We then design the Nutshell custom fields and map the job-status lifecycle to Nutshell Deal stages and a custom Job_Status__c pick-list. This schema plan is delivered for your Nutshell admin to create before data lands.

  2. Resolve technician-to-Nutshell-user mapping by email

    Fieldproxy technician records are matched to Nutshell Users by email address. We generate a pre-migration owner report that lists every technician, their matched Nutshell User (or 'Unmatched — action required'), and the count of Jobs they own. Your team resolves unmatched technicians by inviting them to Nutshell or assigning their Jobs to a fallback owner before the migration window opens.

  3. Migrate Organizations and People before Jobs

    Nutshell requires a Company record to exist before a Person can link to it, and a Person record to exist before a Deal can reference the customer. We sequence the migration: Organizations → Companies, then People → Persons (linked to Companies), then Jobs → Deals (with Job_Status__c and owner mapping resolved). This ordering ensures all foreign-key references resolve correctly on the first pass.

  4. Run a sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice — typically 100–500 records spanning Organizations, People, Jobs, and Tasks — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff between the Fieldproxy source values and the Nutshell destination values so you can verify job-status mapping, technician-to-owner resolution, and custom field population before the full run commits. Sample validation typically runs within a few hours of schema approval. The diff report highlights any missing or mismatched values, allowing your team to adjust field mappings before committing the full dataset.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup cutover window

    The full migration runs against Nutshell's JSON-RPC API, using rate-limiting and retry logic to stay within Nutshell's API throughput limits. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) at cutover captures any Fieldproxy records modified during the migration run — open Jobs, new Person records, or updated Organization data. Audit logs capture every operation. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation identifies a mapping error.

Strengths

  • 24-hour deployment with dedicated Solution Consultant — workspace is live and wired to QuickBooks, Stripe, Calendar, and WhatsApp by day one.
  • Unlimited-users pricing model — no per-seat cost escalation as teams grow.
  • YC-backed with 400+ customers, 50K+ technicians, and 99.9% uptime SLA.
  • AI-powered scheduling, task routing, and spare-parts replenishment are built into the platform rather than add-ons.
  • Mobile apps for iOS and Android with offline-first sync for field technicians in low-connectivity areas.

Weaknesses

  • API documentation is not publicly indexed — rate limits, bulk endpoints, and schema details are not available for pre-migration assessment.
  • Custom workflow automations are not exportable and must be manually rebuilt on the destination platform.
  • Documentation quality is a known complaint — limited self-service reference material for technical users and migration teams.

Destination

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

Most Fieldproxy-to-Nutshell migrations complete in 24–48 hours for under 10,000 records. The longest planning step is designing the job-to-deal translation and creating Nutshell custom fields — those are done before data moves. Larger setups with 100,000+ records or complex multi-location Organizations extend to 5–7 days. Nutshell's JSON-RPC API rate limits also pace bulk ingestion, which can extend timelines for high-volume datasets.
