Migrate your Sunbase Data data
All-in-one contractor management platform for solar, roofing, and construction businesses combining CRM, proposals, scheduling, and financial tools.
In its favor
Why people choose Sunbase Data
The signal that keeps Sunbase Data on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Modular pricing lets small and mid-sized contractors pay only for the features they need rather than licensing an oversized suite, with packages available for solar, roofing, and construction workflows.
Automation workflows for emails, task creation, and follow-ups reduce manual overhead for sales and field teams, saving reported time on repetitive operational tasks.
All-in-one platform consolidates CRM, proposals, scheduling, and financial tools that contractors would otherwise manage across multiple disconnected systems.
Industry-specific features for solar (aerial measurement, financing applications, permit tracking) provide built-in workflows that generic CRMs lack.
Strong customer support with named technical contacts like Jared Dubin offering custom database design assistance during onboarding.
Admin setup requires technical knowledge; non-programmers report significant difficulty configuring the platform without developer support.
Custom module configurations are not portable, making it difficult to evaluate alternatives or switch platforms without rebuilding workflows from scratch.
Pricing is opaque and negotiated per-customer, creating uncertainty during renewal and making cost comparison with alternatives difficult.
As the business scales, the platform's flexibility becomes a liability; complex setups are harder to maintain and audit without dedicated technical staff.
No publicly documented REST API limits integration options, pushing technically sophisticated teams toward platforms with better developer ecosystems.

Pricing tiers
Sunbase Data pricing overview
Sunbase uses a modular pricing model starting at $59 per user per month. Final pricing depends on team size, selected modules, and implementation support needs. There are no publicly listed standard tiers; each customer receives a custom quote. Small operations pay less by selecting only the CRM module, while full-suite deployments covering project management, HR, and financial tools cost significantly more.

What gets migrated
Sunbase Data object support
Object-by-object support for Sunbase Data migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Contacts
Mapping requiredContact records in Sunbase include standard fields (name, email, phone, address) plus industry-specific fields depending on the CRM module configuration. We map each contact to the destination schema and preserve any custom fields added by the customer.
Leads
Mapping requiredSunbase captures leads through door-to-door sales forms, web capture, and manual entry. We preserve lead source, status, and assignment data. Some lead fields are tied to automation workflows that may not transfer 1:1.
Deals
Mapping requiredDeals in Sunbase track the full sales cycle including proposals, quotes, and pipeline stages. We preserve deal values, stage history, and associated contacts. Custom deal fields require explicit mapping during scoping.
Projects
Mapping requiredProjects represent installation or job-site operations. We carry over project metadata, status, budget tracking, and linked work orders. Projects with multiple associated records are migrated as a unit to maintain data relationships.
Work Orders
Mapping requiredWork orders include permit info, task details, attachments, and system specifications. We preserve the full work order record including any linked employee assignments and scheduling data. Attachments are transferred as binary blobs alongside metadata.
Invoices
Mapping requiredSunbase generates invoices including repeat invoices and financing-related billing. We extract invoice line items, payment status, and linkage to the originating project or client. Historical paid invoices are migrated with read-only financial integrity.
Employees
Mapping requiredEmployee records include HR data, crew assignments, and GPS location history. We preserve employment metadata and role assignments. GPS trail data is bulk-exported where available and mapped to a destination-equivalent field.
Appointments
Mapping requiredAppointments sync with Google Calendar and include customer-linked scheduling. We preserve appointment dates, times, assigned contacts, and status. Calendar linkage is not transferable; appointments land as static records in the destination.
Custom Objects
Not in this platformSunbase supports custom fields and custom objects within its module system, but there is no documented API or export schema for custom object definitions. We cannot guarantee complete migration of custom object schemas without direct database access. We recommend customers document custom field configurations before scoping.
Documents
Mapping requiredDocuments include contracts, financing applications, and permits stored within Sunbase. We extract binary files and preserve file names, upload dates, and associations to the parent record (contact, deal, or project). Document folder structures are flattened during migration.
Pipeline Configurations
Not in this platformSunbase pipeline configurations (visual sales boards, stage definitions, and workflow automations) are tied to the platform's internal workflow engine. These cannot be exported as structured data and are not migrated. We recreate pipeline stage names manually at the destination if requested.
Asset and Inventory
Mapping requiredAsset and inventory records track materials, equipment, and supplies across projects. We preserve item names, quantities, linked projects, and supplier information. Inventory levels at the time of migration are carried over; real-time stock data requires a separate handoff process.
