Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from solve 360 to Nutshell is a schema-normalization migration. solve 360 collapses people, companies, and work into a single unified record; Nutshell separates Contacts and Companies as distinct objects with Deals as the sales pipeline layer. We handle that structural split, mapping solve 360's relationship links to Nutshell's Contact-Company lookups and preserving pipeline stage assignments against the correct Deal. Tasks and Follow-ups from solve 360 land as Nutshell Activities. Support Requests have no direct Nutshell equivalent; we migrate them as Cases if the destination includes Service Cloud, or as Notes on the parent Contact or Company. Attachments are downloaded and re-uploaded with parent links rebuilt. Custom fields and tags migrate as native Nutshell custom fields and tags respectively. Workflow automations export as structured configuration JSON for the customer's admin to rebuild; they do not replay in Nutshell's automation engine.

What's pushing teams away

  • The feature set lags behind HubSpot, Zoho, and Salesforce as teams scale, prompting upgrades to platforms with broader ecosystem integrations and app marketplaces.
  • Mobile apps are limited to web-responsive or basic native wrappers; users expecting a full-featured native mobile experience outgrow the offering and move to better-supported alternatives.
  • Only 17 verified G2 reviews indicate a small and potentially declining user base, which raises concerns about long-term product investment and support responsiveness.
  • Custom field limits and a comparatively basic API mean growing teams with complex data models eventually migrate to CRMs with more flexible schema design.

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 solve 360 objects map to Nutshell

Each row shows how a solve 360 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.

solve 360

Contact

maps to

Nutshell

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

solve 360 Contacts map to Nutshell Contacts. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address) migrate directly. Custom fields defined on the solve 360 Contact record are created as matching Nutshell custom fields before import and populated with original values. The solve 360 contact's relationship link to a parent Company is resolved by matching the company name against Nutshell Company records, creating the Contact-Company association at migration time.

solve 360

Company

maps to

Nutshell

Company

1:1
Fully supported

solve 360 Company records map to Nutshell Company objects. Company name, domain, and address fields migrate directly. Custom fields on solve 360 Companies are created as Nutshell Company custom fields and populated. Company is imported before Contact so that the Contact-Company lookup can be satisfied at insert time, avoiding orphaned Contact records without a parent Company.

solve 360

Deal / Pipeline Stage

maps to

Nutshell

Deal

1:1
Fully supported

solve 360 pipeline stages on the primary record map to Nutshell Deal records. We extract each deal's stage name, probability, pipeline assignment, value, and close date from solve 360 and create corresponding Nutshell Deals. The solve 360 pipeline structure (stage order and probability percentages) is mapped to Nutshell's Deal pipeline stages during schema configuration before migration.

solve 360

Task

maps to

Nutshell

Activity

1:1
Fully supported

solve 360 Tasks migrate to Nutshell Activities. Task status, priority, due date, assignee, and time-tracking fields transfer to Nutshell Activity records. Assignee mapping resolves solve 360 owner IDs to Nutshell user emails by matching against the User mapping table created during discovery.

solve 360

Follow-up

maps to

Nutshell

Activity

1:1
Fully supported

solve 360 Follow-ups are a distinct activity type tied to Contacts or Companies. We export Follow-ups as time-stamped activity records and map them to Nutshell Activities linked to the parent Contact or Company. Follow-up descriptions and timestamps are preserved in the Nutshell Activity body and date field respectively.

solve 360

Support Request

maps to

Nutshell

Case (if Service Cloud) or Note

lossy
Fully supported

solve 360 Support Requests have no direct Nutshell equivalent. If the destination Nutshell account includes Service Cloud, Support Requests migrate to Nutshell Cases with status transitions and linked conversations preserved. If Service Cloud is not in scope, we migrate the request history as Notes on the parent Contact or Company record, flagging the Notes with a [Support Request] prefix so the customer admin can distinguish them from general notes.

solve 360

Time Record

maps to

Nutshell

Custom Field or Note

lossy
Fully supported

solve 360 Time Records attach to tasks, site notes, calls, and meetings. We export duration, date, billing flag, and parent object reference. Time data migrates as custom fields on the parent object (Contact, Company, or Activity) or as structured Notes if the customer prefers a flat history. The customer chooses the time-record strategy during scoping based on how they intend to report time in Nutshell.

solve 360

Tag / Label

maps to

Nutshell

Tag

1:1
Fully supported

Tags in solve 360 label Contacts, Companies, and other records. We export all tag definitions and their per-record associations. Tags are re-created as Nutshell native tags and re-applied to the corresponding records during migration, preserving the tagging relationships per Contact, Company, and Deal.

solve 360

Custom Field (Contact / Company)

maps to

Nutshell

Custom Field

1:1
Fully supported

solve 360 user-defined custom fields on Contacts and Companies (including text, number, date, and selection types) are exported with their field definitions and values. We pre-create matching custom fields in Nutshell before any data import, using equivalent field types. Selection-type custom fields map to Nutshell dropdown or radio-button fields with the same option values.

solve 360

Attachment

maps to

Nutshell

Attachment

1:1
Fully supported

Attachments on Contacts, Companies, Tasks, and Support Requests are downloaded from solve 360 as files with their metadata (name, type, size, upload date). They are re-uploaded to Nutshell and re-linked to the parent record (Contact, Company, or Deal) at the destination. We preserve the original upload date as a custom field on the attachment if the customer requires it for audit.

solve 360

User / Owner

maps to

Nutshell

User

1:1
Fully supported

solve 360 Users are both system actors and assignment targets on Tasks, Follow-ups, and Deals. We export the user list and map solve 360 owner IDs to Nutshell User emails. Orphaned assignments (where the source user does not have a matching Nutshell User) are flagged in the reconciliation report for the customer admin to resolve before record import continues.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Two solve 360 products with different storage and minimums

    Norada ships Solve CRM and Solve Client Manager as separate products under the solve 360 brand, with different storage allocations (150 GB pooled for CRM vs 25 GB per user for Client Manager) and different user minimums (4-user floor for CRM, no minimum for Client Manager). Customers on Client Manager who migrate to Nutshell must reconcile storage expectations, as Nutshell's pooled storage model differs from the per-user cap in Client Manager. We identify the product variant during discovery and adjust storage and attachment handling expectations accordingly.

  • Assisted API access extends discovery and export timelines

    solve 360 does not expose a self-serve bulk-export endpoint in its public developer portal. We read data via the REST API using the customer's credentials, or use the web UI export for smaller datasets. For larger accounts, we request an assisted export from solve 360's client engineers, which can add 3-5 business days to the project timeline before data extraction begins. We account for this delay in the project schedule during scoping and advise customers to request the assisted export in parallel with discovery if API access appears constrained.

  • Support Request to Case mapping requires scope decision early

    solve 360 Support Requests have no direct Nutshell equivalent in the base Sales CRM tier. We can migrate them as Cases only if the destination Nutshell account includes Service Cloud. If Service Cloud is not in the scope, Support Request history migrates as Notes on the parent Contact or Company, which changes how the customer surfaces and manages post-migration support data. We confirm the Service Cloud scope decision with the customer during discovery, as it affects pricing, data model design, and the migration object count.

  • Workflow automations export as documentation, not replayable logic

    Workflow definitions in solve 360 encode logic specific to its automation engine with multi-step task sequences, intelligent scheduling, and assignee notification rules. We export workflow configurations as structured metadata JSON for the customer's admin to review. They cannot be directly replayed in Nutshell's automation engine. We advise customers to treat automation migration as a redesign exercise and allocate separate scoping time; we deliver the workflow inventory as part of the migration handoff documentation.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful solve 360 to Nutshell data migration

  1. Discovery and product variant identification

    We audit the source solve 360 account to identify whether it is Solve CRM or Solve Client Manager, the number of Contacts, Companies, Deals, Tasks, Follow-ups, Support Requests, Time Records, and active Attachments. We also catalog custom field definitions, pipeline stage configurations, tag values, and active workflow definitions. This output is a written migration scope with record counts per object, a custom field inventory, and a Service Cloud scope question for the customer to answer before schema design begins.

  2. Schema design and custom field provisioning

    We configure the destination Nutshell account. This includes creating custom fields on Contact and Company that match the solve 360 custom field definitions (with equivalent types), configuring Deal pipeline stages to mirror the solve 360 pipeline structure, and creating Nutshell Tags corresponding to solve 360 tag values. If Service Cloud is in scope, we provision the Case object and map Support Request status transitions to Case Status values. Schema is configured in a Nutshell trial or sandbox environment first for validation before production migration begins.

  3. Test migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into a Nutshell test environment using production-like data volume. The customer reconciles record counts (Contacts in, Companies in, Deals in, Activities in), spot-checks 15-30 random records against the solve 360 source, and signs off the schema and mapping before production migration begins. Any field mapping corrections, custom field type mismatches, or pipeline stage ordering issues surface here and are resolved before production cutover.

  4. Owner and user reconciliation

    We extract every distinct solve 360 User referenced on Contacts, Companies, Deals, Tasks, and Follow-ups. We match by email against the Nutshell destination's User list. solve 360 Users without a matching Nutshell User are flagged in the reconciliation report for the customer admin to provision before record import resumes. Migration cannot complete past this step because assignee references must be resolvable at import time.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Companies first (because Contacts require a parent Company), then Contacts with the Company lookup resolved, then Deals with stage and assignee resolved, then Activities (Tasks and Follow-ups mapped to Nutshell Activities), then Support Requests (as Cases or Notes depending on scope), then Tags and custom field values. Attachments are downloaded in parallel and re-uploaded with parent links rebuilt after the parent records are confirmed in Nutshell. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.

  6. Cutover, final validation, and workflow handoff

    We freeze solve 360 writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Nutshell as the system of record. We deliver the workflow inventory document (structured JSON of solve 360 workflow configurations) to the customer's admin team with a rebuild guide referencing Nutshell's automation capabilities. We support a brief post-cutover window where we resolve any reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team. We do not rebuild solve 360 Workflows as Nutshell automation rules inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

solve 360

Source

Strengths

  • Per-user flat pricing with no usage-based surprises or hidden overage charges
  • Google Calendar and Gmail integration centralizes scheduling and communication context directly in the CRM record
  • Single-record data model eliminates duplicates by design, keeping people, companies, and work linked on one entity
  • Workflow automation handles multi-step task sequences with intelligent scheduling and assignment
  • Self-organizing dashboard surfaces team priorities in real time without manual status updates

Weaknesses

  • Only 17 verified G2 reviews suggests a small, niche user base with limited community resources and peer support
  • Feature set is narrower than HubSpot, Zoho, or Salesforce, limiting growth potential for teams that need advanced automation or marketplace integrations
  • API documentation is not prominently exposed; bulk data export may require assisted access rather than self-serve developer tooling
  • Minimum 4-user requirement locks out solo users and very small teams from the base plan
  • Native mobile apps are limited compared to competitors with full-featured iOS and Android clients

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 migrations land between two and four weeks for accounts under 5,000 Contacts and 1,000 Deals with no active Service Cloud scope and straightforward custom fields. Migrations with active Support Request history requiring Case creation, multiple custom fields on both Contacts and Companies, large attachment volumes, or a solve 360 account that requires assisted export access move to five to eight weeks because of parent-record lookup resolution, Case schema configuration, and the assisted export lead time from solve 360.
