Overview

What this migration involves

Solitics and Nutshell serve different operational models, which makes this migration a category crossing as much as a platform switch. Solitics is a real-time B2C engagement platform built around unified user profiles, behavioral event streams, and gamification mechanics for verticals like iGaming, trading, and fintech. Nutshell is a B2B sales CRM built around Leads, People, Accounts, Deals, and pipeline management for sales teams. The migration core is straightforward: Solitics user profiles map to Nutshell People and Accounts, and any deal-like records map to Nutshell Deals. The complexity lies in Solitics custom event schemas and behavioral event histories, which have no native equivalent in Nutshell's data model. We resolve this by pre-creating custom fields in Nutshell, mapping behavioral event types to structured Activity records with timestamps, and documenting every custom event schema for the customer's records. Gamification configurations, integration connectors, and journey logic do not migrate as code; we deliver full structured documentation for the technical team to rebuild at the destination. Workflows, automations, and channel compliance stacks are out of scope and noted separately.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Solitics

What's pushing teams away

  • Steep initial setup with data mapping and integration configuration creates a meaningful onboarding gap that frustrates teams expecting faster time-to-value, especially without dedicated technical support during the first weeks.
  • Advanced customization features that exceed the out-of-the-box UI require engineering involvement or direct support from Solitics, limiting what marketing teams can self-serve without a developer.
  • Pricing transparency is limited — hidden costs around setup fees, data migration, and annual renewal caps make budget planning difficult and can surprise teams at renewal time.
  • When the platform's performance or SLA does not meet expectations for mission-critical real-time engagement, switching costs are high because journey logic and gamification configurations are tightly coupled to the platform's proprietary data model.

Choosing

Nutshell logo

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 Solitics objects map to Nutshell

Each row shows how a Solitics 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.

Solitics

User Profiles

maps to

Nutshell

Person and Account

1:many
Fully supported

Solitics user profiles aggregate attributes, transaction history, and behavioral data from all integrated sources into a unified record. We split each Solitics profile into a Nutshell Person record (individual contact data, email, phone, custom behavioral attributes) and a corresponding Nutshell Account record (company-level data from the profile's organization fields). The split direction is determined by whether the Solitics profile has an identifiable organization; solo profiles land as Person only. Custom behavioral attributes from Solitics that have no standard Nutshell field are pre-created as custom fields on the Person object before migration.

Solitics

Companies

maps to

Nutshell

Account

1:1
Fully supported

Solitics Company objects map directly to Nutshell Account records. The organization name, domain, address, and any custom fields migrate as-is to Account. Account is created before Person import so that the Person-Account relationship is satisfied at the moment of Person insert.

Solitics

Behavioral Events

maps to

Nutshell

Activity (Task, Event) and Custom Fields

lossy
Fully supported

Solitics behavioral events (registration, deposit, withdrawal, trade, bet, login, and any custom event types) have no native equivalent in Nutshell's data model. We pre-create custom fields on the Person object for key event type counts and last-event timestamps, and we write the full event sequence as Task records with the event type stored in a custom Activity Type field. This preserves the behavioral timeline against the correct Person record for audit and reporting purposes. The Solitics event property fields map to custom fields or the Task description.

Solitics

Custom Event Schemas

maps to

Nutshell

Custom Fields on Person

lossy
Mapping required

Solitics custom event types are discovered during the schema phase via the Solitics API event catalog. Each custom event type and its property fields are mapped to a corresponding custom field on Nutshell Person, with the property data type guiding the Nutshell field type selection (text, date, number, currency, or checkbox). Custom event schemas with nested or array properties are flattened into delimited string fields with the structure preserved in the field description for future reference.

Solitics

Segments

maps to

Nutshell

Saved Filters on People

1:1
Fully supported

Solitics segments are live, rule-based definitions built from profile attributes and behavioral conditions. Nutshell does not have a segment concept; instead, we translate Solitics segment definitions into Nutshell Saved Filters on the People list. Each filter captures the equivalent attribute conditions (field, operator, value) in Nutshell's filter syntax. The original Solitics segment rule logic is preserved in the filter description field for documentation. Segment membership itself is not a migrated data object but a reporting construct rebuilt through filtering.

Solitics

Deals

maps to

Nutshell

Deal

1:1
Fully supported

If the Solitics account uses deal-like records (e.g., subscription, order, or high-value transaction objects), these map to Nutshell Deals. The Solitics deal stage or status property maps to Nutshell Deal stage, and any monetary value fields map to Nutshell's value fields. Pipeline assignment from Solitics maps to a Nutshell pipeline that we configure before migration.

Solitics

Owner and User Assignments

maps to

Nutshell

User

1:1
Mapping required

Solitics journey owners, campaign managers, and team-level access controls are exported as user references. We match by email against Nutshell's User table. Any Solitics owner without a matching Nutshell User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before Person and Account import resumes.

Solitics

Campaigns

maps to

Nutshell

Saved Filters and Pipeline Stage documentation

1:1
Mapping required

Solitics campaigns are containers for content assets, scheduling, and audience targets. Nutshell does not have a native campaign object beyond reporting attribution. We export campaign metadata and targeting rules as structured documentation, and we create Nutshell Saved Filters matching the campaign audience where applicable. Channel-specific content blocks migrate as text assets in a campaign documentation file for the customer to recreate in Nutshell or their email sending tool.

Solitics

User Journeys

maps to

Nutshell

Workflow documentation

lossy
Mapping required

Solitics user journeys define automated workflows triggered by events or segment membership. Nutshell does not have a journey or workflow automation engine equivalent. We export journey definitions including entry conditions, branching logic, delay rules, and channel steps as a structured configuration inventory. The customer uses this document to rebuild equivalent automation logic in Nutshell or a connected tool.

Solitics

Gamification Configurations

maps to

Nutshell

Documentation only

lossy
Mapping required

Solitics Smart Gamification module stores mission definitions, loyalty point balances, badge rules, widget configurations, and achievement thresholds as platform-native objects. Nutshell has no gamification module and no loyalty or achievement data model. We export the full gamification configuration as structured documentation listing every mission, point balance, badge definition, and widget setting. The mechanics must be rebuilt by the customer's technical team in their new platform or a dedicated loyalty tool.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Solitics behavioral event schemas require discovery before extraction

    Solitics allows teams to define custom event types beyond the standard set. Custom event types and their property fields are not discoverable through standard export tools — they require a schema discovery query against the Solitics API. Without a complete event schema catalog, any custom event records imported into Nutshell will have missing or malformed data. We run a schema discovery pass against the Solitics API before writing any migration map, cataloging every named event type, its property fields, and data types. This step adds one to two days to the discovery phase but prevents silent data loss on custom event history.

  • Gamification and loyalty mechanics have no destination equivalent

    Solitics' Smart Gamification module stores mission rules, loyalty point balances, badge definitions, widget configurations, and achievement thresholds as platform-native objects. Nutshell has no gamification, loyalty, or achievement data model. We export all gamification configuration as structured documentation, but the actual mechanics cannot be imported as data. The customer's technical team must rebuild gamification in Nutshell or select a separate loyalty platform post-migration. We flag this explicitly during scoping and deliver a complete inventory of all active gamification assets before migration begins.

  • Solitics integration connectors are not migratable data

    Solitics' strength is its ability to connect to external data sources — trading platforms, sports feeds, bonus engines, back-office databases, and BI tools. These are configured connections, not data records, and they do not transfer across platforms. We treat integrations as re-establishment tasks for the customer's technical team post-migration. We document every active integration, its data flow direction, and the credentials or endpoint it uses so the technical team has a complete re-integration checklist for the new platform.

  • Channel compliance configurations are destination-specific

    SMS sender IDs, WhatsApp business account configurations, push notification certificates, and email sending domains in Solitics are tied to carrier and platform registrations that are not portable to Nutshell. We export channel content and configuration metadata, but the sending infrastructure must be set up fresh at the destination. We provide a channel audit checklist documenting every active SMS sender ID, WhatsApp template ID, and push certificate so the customer can replicate the compliance stack in Nutshell.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Solitics to Nutshell data migration

  1. Schema discovery and Solitics API catalog

    We run a schema discovery pass against the Solitics API before any data is extracted. This catalogs every active custom event type, property field, and data type in the account. We also extract segment definitions, journey configurations, gamification module contents, campaign metadata, and integration inventory. The discovery output is a written schema inventory and a migration scope document that the customer reviews and signs off before extraction begins.

  2. Nutshell schema design and custom field creation

    We design the destination schema in Nutshell before any data is loaded. This includes creating custom fields on Person, Account, and Deal objects to accommodate Solitics behavioral event properties that have no standard Nutshell equivalent. We also configure the pipeline and stage structure in Nutshell to match the Solitics deal or campaign data model where applicable. Custom fields are created via the Nutshell UI or API in a pre-migration validation pass.

  3. Data extraction and transform

    We extract Solitics data in dependency order: Accounts (from Solitics Companies), Persons (from Solitics User Profiles with AccountId resolved), Deals (from Solitics deal-like records), and Activity history (behavioral events written as Task records with event type and property fields in custom fields). Custom event schema data is transformed during extraction, with nested properties flattened into delimited string fields and arrays expanded to comma-separated values. Every extract emits a row-count and schema conformance report.

  4. Sandbox validation and reconciliation

    We run an initial migration into a Nutshell trial or test account to validate field mapping, custom field behavior, and record relationship resolution. The customer's team spot-checks 20-30 records against the Solitics source and confirms the mapping direction before production migration begins. Any custom field corrections, segmentation logic adjustments, or deal stage mappings happen in this phase.

  5. Production migration and cutover

    We run the full production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts first, then Persons with AccountId resolved, then Deals, then Activity history. We freeze Solitics writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during migration, and enable Nutshell as the system of record. We deliver the gamification configuration inventory, integration re-establishment checklist, and journey rebuild documentation as separate artifacts for the customer's technical team.

  6. Handoff and post-migration documentation

    We provide a written handoff covering the complete data inventory (record counts migrated, record counts skipped and why), the gamification rebuild documentation, the integration re-establishment checklist, and the channel audit checklist. We do not rebuild Solitics workflows, automations, or journey logic in Nutshell; that work is handled by the customer's admin or a Nutshell implementation partner using the documentation we deliver.

Strengths

  • Sub-second event response and 0.8-second data processing claim keeps engagement timely in high-frequency verticals.
  • Built-in AI Expert layer for automated optimization of journey steps without manual A/B testing.
  • Native gamification module avoids the need for a separate loyalty or engagement tool vendor.
  • Single platform covering visitor activation through winback across a defined vertical stack.
  • Claims 45-day integration timeline, indicating a structured onboarding methodology.

Weaknesses

  • Small company footprint (11–50 employees, under $5M revenue) raises long-term vendor stability concerns for large enterprise customers.
  • Pricing opacity and reported hidden costs make total cost of ownership difficult to predict upfront.
  • Limited public API documentation makes third-party integration and self-service migration support challenging.
  • Small review base (11 verified reviews on G2) provides limited independent validation of platform claims.
  • Advanced customization requires developer involvement, limiting self-serve extensibility for non-technical marketing teams.

Most Solitics to Nutshell migrations land between two and three weeks for accounts under 5,000 profiles, no custom event schemas, and straightforward deal or campaign data. Migrations with custom event types, large behavioral event histories (over 100,000 events), or multiple gamification configurations move to four to six weeks because the schema discovery phase and custom field creation add complexity before any data extraction begins.
