Overview

What this migration involves

Husky Intelligence is a field service management platform built around jobs, schedules, service agreements, and customisable forms. Nutshell is a sales CRM built around People, Companies, Leads, Deals, and Tasks. The two data models overlap on contacts, companies, and activity history, but Husky's scheduling, timecard, and field-operations data requires custom fields and relationship mapping in Nutshell. We extract Husky data via the platform's export and API interfaces, map each object against Nutshell's standard schema, create destination custom fields for scheduling dates, job statuses, and custom form data, then load via Nutshell's JSON-RPC API. Workflows, automations, and service-agreement renewal rules do not migrate — we export definition exports so your Nutshell admin can rebuild them. A delta-pickup window captures in-flight jobs and schedule changes during cutover, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation identifies mismatches. The migration preserves original create dates, modification timestamps, and owner assignments so your Nutshell instance reflects the full historical context of your service operations from day one.

Object mapping

How Husky Intelligence objects map to Nutshell

Each row shows how a Husky Intelligence 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.

Husky Intelligence

Lead

maps to

Nutshell

Lead

1:1
Fully supported

Husky leads map directly to Nutshell's Lead object. Lead status, source information, and rating fields carry over. Custom form fields attached to Husky leads migrate to Nutshell custom fields on the Lead object. Owner assignment resolves via email match against Nutshell users.

Husky Intelligence

Customer

maps to

Nutshell

Person

1:1
Fully supported

Husky customers map to Nutshell People. Names, phone numbers, email addresses, and job titles transfer directly. Each customer's associated company record in Husky links to a corresponding Nutshell Company record via the Person-Company relationship. Original create dates and modification timestamps are preserved as custom datetime fields.

Husky Intelligence

Company

maps to

Nutshell

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Husky company records map to Nutshell Company objects. Company name, domain, address, industry, and employee count fields transfer directly. Parent-child company hierarchies in Husky map to Nutshell's parent-company relationship field. Multi-location companies split into individual Nutshell Company records if they are tracked as separate entities in Husky.

Husky Intelligence

Job

maps to

Nutshell

Deal

1:1
Fully supported

Husky jobs are the primary non-equivalent object. Each job migrates as a Nutshell Deal with the job name as the Deal name, estimated value mapped to Deal amount, and job status mapped to Nutshell's pipeline stage pick-list. Scheduling dates and assigned technician data migrate as custom fields on the Deal since Nutshell Deals lack native scheduling fields.

Husky Intelligence

Schedule

maps to

Nutshell

Task / Activity

1:1
Fully supported

Husky schedule records — which link a job to a technician and a time slot — translate to Nutshell Tasks or Activities attached to the corresponding Deal. Start time, end time, and assigned resource map to Task fields. Multiple schedule entries for a single job produce multiple Nutshell Tasks so the full dispatch history is preserved.

Husky Intelligence

Timecard

maps to

Nutshell

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Husky timecard entries recording hours worked by field staff attach to the corresponding Job-Deal record in Nutshell. Billable hours, start/end timestamps, and technician identifier map to custom fields on the Task. Non-billable time entries are stored as separate Tasks with a timecard type flag for reporting separation.

Husky Intelligence

Service Agreement

maps to

Nutshell

Deal + Custom Field

1:1
Fully supported

Husky service agreements contain contract terms, renewal dates, and coverage scope. These fields migrate as custom fields on the associated Deal or Company in Nutshell. Recurring contract value maps to a custom currency field. Renewal date is preserved as a custom date field to trigger Nutshell workflow rebuilds post-migration.

Husky Intelligence

Invoice

maps to

Nutshell

Custom Field on Deal

1:1
Fully supported

Husky invoices are preserved as read-only reference data in Nutshell. Invoice ID, total amount, status, and issue date migrate as custom fields on the associated Deal. Line-item invoice details are stored as a JSON-formatted custom long-text field on the Deal for reference. Nutshell's built-in billing is not automatically linked — QB Online integration is configured separately.

Husky Intelligence

Custom Form

maps to

Nutshell

Custom Fields on Person / Lead / Deal

1:1
Fully supported

Husky custom forms attached to customers or leads create destination custom fields in Nutshell. Field types (text, number, date, pick-list, checkbox) are mapped to the nearest Nutshell custom field type. Multi-step form data is flattened into individual custom fields on the target object. Form definitions are exported as a reference document for Nutshell admin rebuild if needed.

Husky Intelligence

Note

maps to

Nutshell

Note

1:1
Fully supported

Notes attached to any Husky record (customer, company, job) migrate to Nutshell Notes attached to the corresponding destination record. Original author, timestamp, and note body are preserved. Rich-text formatting in Husky notes is converted to plain text or preserved where Nutshell's note format allows.

Husky Intelligence

Attachment / File

maps to

Nutshell

File Attachment

1:1
Fully supported

Files attached to jobs, customers, or companies in Husky are re-uploaded to Nutshell and attached to the corresponding record. File name, size, and MIME type are preserved. Attachments exceeding Nutshell's size limits are flagged before migration so the team can decide whether to exclude or compress.

Husky Intelligence

User / Owner

maps to

Nutshell

User

1:1
Fully supported

Husky owner and technician user records resolve against Nutshell users by email address match. Unmatched users are flagged before migration so the team either invites them to Nutshell or reassigns their records to a designated fallback owner. No record lands in Nutshell without a valid owner assignment.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Job-to-Deal mapping loses native scheduling context in Nutshell

    Husky's drag-and-drop scheduler and technician dispatch model has no direct equivalent in Nutshell's CRM. Jobs scheduled for specific technicians on specific days become Deals with custom scheduling date fields and a technician text field. Nutshell's pipeline views show the deal status but not the dispatch calendar. Teams relying on Husky's operational scheduling view need to rebuild a scheduling workflow in Nutshell using Tasks and the calendar view, or accept a less field-specific schedule display. We preserve all scheduling date, time window, and technician data as custom fields so the information is available for rebuild planning.

  • Custom form data requires manual custom field creation in Nutshell

    Husky's customisable forms can contain dozens of fields per object that don't exist as standard fields in Nutshell. Every non-standard form field in Husky must be created as a custom field in Nutshell before migration — Nutshell's custom field system allows text, number, date, and pick-list types but requires admin-level setup for each field. We audit all custom form definitions pre-migration and deliver a custom field creation checklist mapped to the destination object so Nutshell admins can pre-create the schema before data lands. This adds planning time to the migration scope.

  • Timecard and job-status values need value-by-value mapping

    Husky job statuses (e.g., Scheduled, En Route, On Site, Completed, Invoiced) and timecard billability flags do not have exact Nutshell equivalents. Nutshell pipeline stage names are configurable but the values are distinct from Husky's status vocabulary. We map each Husky status to a corresponding Nutshell stage by agreement during discovery, but if your team uses custom status names in Husky, each one requires an explicit mapping decision before migration. Unmapped statuses default to a fallback stage and are flagged for review.

  • Service agreement renewal logic does not migrate and needs a rebuild plan

    Husky service agreements carry renewal logic, auto-renew flags, and coverage scope that have no equivalent in Nutshell's Deal object. The agreement data migrates as static custom fields (name, renewal date, contract value), but the automation that triggers renewal reminders or escalations must be rebuilt in Nutshell. We export the service agreement definitions as a reference document for your Nutshell admin, but the rebuild work is a separate configuration step post-migration.

  • Multi-location companies require record-splitting decisions

    Husky tracks sites and locations per company, and some companies in Husky have multiple service locations recorded as separate address records. Nutshell's Company object stores a single address. When a Husky company has multiple site addresses, we surface this in the pre-migration audit and your team decides whether to create one Company with a custom multi-address field, split into separate Company records per site, or use a custom junction object. This decision affects relationship mapping for jobs and contacts.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Husky Intelligence to Nutshell data migration

  1. Audit Husky custom forms and schema pre-migration

    We extract a full schema export from Husky covering all standard and custom fields, form definitions, job statuses, and user roles. This audit identifies every custom field that needs a Nutshell equivalent, flags value-mapping decisions for pick-list fields, and surfaces multi-location companies and N:N relationships that need explicit decisions. We deliver a schema preparation checklist for your Nutshell admin before any data moves.

  2. Create Nutshell custom fields and pipeline stages

    Your Nutshell admin creates the custom fields identified in the audit — scheduling date fields, technician text fields, job status pick-lists, service agreement fields, and custom datetime fields for original create dates. We provide a field-by-field creation guide with the exact name, type, and target object for each field. Pipeline stages are configured to align with mapped Husky job statuses. This step completes before the test migration runs.

  3. Resolve owners and users by email

    Husky owner and technician records are matched against Nutshell users by email address. We generate a pre-flight owner resolution report: matched users link correctly, unmatched owners are flagged and routed to your team for either inviting them to Nutshell or reassigning records to a fallback owner. No record migrates without a confirmed Nutshell owner assignment, and the resolution report is part of the go/no-go gate before full migration.

  4. Run a sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice of records — typically 100–500 covering Leads, People, Companies, Deals (jobs), and a few Schedules and timecards — migrates into Nutshell first. We generate a field-level diff report comparing source values against destination values for every mapped field. You review the diff to verify job-status mapping, scheduling date population, custom form field values, and owner resolution before we commit to the full run.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup cutover

    The full migration runs against Nutshell's JSON-RPC API. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any Husky records modified during the cutover period. All operations are logged in an audit trail. If reconciliation identifies field mismatches or missing records, one-click rollback reverts the Nutshell instance to its pre-migration state. We run a final reconciliation report comparing record counts and field completeness against the source export before sign-off.
