Overview
Vonigo combines field service scheduling, dispatching, work orders, invoicing, and CRM into a single platform designed for service businesses and franchises. Nutshell is a mid-market CRM that tracks People, Companies, Leads, and Deals in a standard sales pipeline model. The two platforms share a customer-centric data model but diverge sharply on operations: Vonigo stores jobs, line items, and service locations that have no native Nutshell equivalent. We map Vonigo's contacts to Nutshell People, Vonigo's companies to Nutshell Companies, and Vonigo's jobs or service records to Nutshell Deals with custom fields capturing the operational detail. Invoice and payment history migrates as activity records or note attachments. Vonigo's multi-location franchise structure becomes a flat company hierarchy with custom fields for territory assignment. We use Nutshell's JSON-RPC API for all writes, run a sample migration with field-level diff before committing, and capture a delta window during cutover for any in-flight records. The migration framework includes pre-run validation, automated rollback triggers, and a detailed field-mapping log for auditability.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Vonigo 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.
Vonigo
Contact (Customer)
Nutshell
Person
1:1Vonigo's customer contacts map directly to Nutshell People. Email, phone, name, and address fields translate 1:1. Vonigo contact type (lead vs. customer) determines whether the record lands as a Nutshell Lead or Person. Custom fields on Vonigo contacts are matched to Nutshell custom fields on Person, preserving type and picklist values where possible. Email serves as the primary key for deduplication, with fallback matching on name and address.
Vonigo
Company
Nutshell
Company
1:1Vonigo companies map to Nutshell Companies. Company name, domain, industry, and employee count fields translate directly. Multi-location Vonigo companies with child locations become a single Nutshell Company with location details in custom fields. We map Vonigo's custom company fields to Nutshell custom fields on the Company object, preserving data types such as text, number, and picklist values.
Vonigo
Job / Work Order
Nutshell
Deal
1:1Vonigo job records have no native Nutshell equivalent. Each job becomes a Nutshell Deal with custom fields capturing: job number, service type, line items, technician assigned, scheduled date, service address, and completion status. Job status maps to Deal stage values.
Vonigo
Job Line Item
Nutshell
Deal Line Items (custom)
many:1Vonigo job line items (materials, labor, equipment) collapse into a Deal custom field holding a text summary of items and totals, since Nutshell Deals have no native line-item sub-object. For complex multi-item jobs, we attach a formatted note with the full itemization.
Vonigo
Invoice
Nutshell
Activity / Note
1:1Vonigo invoices store billing amount, status, and date. These map to Nutshell Activity records with Type='Invoice', or as Notes attached to the related Deal, capturing invoice number, total amount, and payment status for historical financial reference. If the invoice includes line items, we attach a detailed note summarizing each item, quantity, and unit price for complete traceability.
Vonigo
Payment Record
Nutshell
Deal custom field / Note
1:1Vonigo payment records (amount paid, method, date) migrate as Notes attached to the corresponding Deal, since Nutshell has no native payment object. Payment status (paid, partial, outstanding) becomes a custom picklist field on the Deal. We also record the payment method and date in custom fields for reporting, and link each payment note to the associated invoice note for audit trails.
Vonigo
Location / Franchise Site
Nutshell
Company custom fields
1:1Vonigo's multi-location and franchise site records have no Nutshell equivalent. Each location becomes the same Nutshell Company record with custom fields for territory name, program fee status, royalty region, and site-level contact information. We map Vonigo custom fields on each location to matching custom fields on the Nutshell Company, preserving data types and picklist values, and we create filtered views to replicate territory-level reporting within Nutshell.
Vonigo
Technician / Staff
Nutshell
Nutshell User
1:1Vonigo technicians and staff members who should own records in Nutshell are matched by email to Nutshell Users. Unmatched staff are flagged before migration so your Nutshell admin can create accounts or reassign records to an existing user. We also map Vonigo's staff custom fields to Nutshell user custom fields, preserving role and department information where applicable.
Vonigo
Activity (call, email, note)
Nutshell
Activity
1:1Vonigo logged calls, emails, and notes on contacts and jobs map to Nutshell Activities. Original timestamps and owning user are preserved. Vonigo note attachments re-upload as Nutshell file attachments on the relevant Person or Deal. We preserve the original activity type (call, email, note) as a custom field on the Nutshell Activity to maintain detail for reporting.
Vonigo
Quote / Estimate
Nutshell
Deal custom field / Note
1:1Vonigo estimates and quotes store service description, quantities, and pricing. These migrate as Notes on the related Deal, capturing the estimate value, accepted/rejected status, and conversion date if the estimate became a job. We also map Vonigo custom fields on estimates to Nutshell custom fields on the Deal, preserving any additional metadata such as region, source, and priority.

Vonigo gotchas
Mobile license bundled with desktop license inflates costs
API documentation minimal, no public bulk export
Recurring billing schedules require separate migration handling
Territory management is Vonigo-native and not universally supported
Pricing tiers gate key features including multi-location and inventory
Nutshell gotchas
Contact tier limits enforced on import
No bulk API endpoint requires paginated extraction
Email sequences not exportable via API
Foundation plan disables key sales features
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Vonigo data inventory and create Nutshell custom fields
We export a full field inventory from your Vonigo instance covering contacts, companies, jobs, invoices, and custom fields. During scoping, we compare this against Nutshell's standard field set and identify every custom field that needs to be created in Nutshell — on Person, Company, Lead, and Deal objects. Your Nutshell admin creates these fields before we begin data writes so every record lands in the right structure on the first migration run.
Resolve Vonigo staff to Nutshell users by email
Vonigo technicians, dispatchers, and office staff who own records are matched to Nutshell Users by email address. Unmatched users are flagged with a pre-migration report — your Nutshell admin either creates an account for them or assigns their Vonigo records to an existing fallback user before the migration commits. No record lands in Nutshell without a valid owner. This ensures traceability and reporting alignment across both platforms.
Migrate companies and people first, then jobs and activities
Nutshell requires Companies to exist before People can link to them, and requires People before Deals can reference them via contacts. We sequence the migration: Companies first, then People and Leads split by Vonigo contact type, then Deals with job-to-Deal mapping, and finally Activities and Notes. This ordering ensures all foreign-key relationships resolve correctly in Nutshell's API writes. Before each phase, we run a dry-run to confirm data integrity and API response compliance.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff before the full run
A representative slice — typically 100–500 records spanning contacts, companies, jobs, and activities — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff showing the source value, the mapped value, and any transformation applied. You review the diff to verify job-status-to-Deal-stage mapping, custom field population, and owner resolution before we commit the full migration run. This review step reduces the risk of data loss and ensures stakeholder confidence before the final load.
Cut over with delta-pickup for in-flight records and post-migration audit
The full migration runs against Nutshell's JSON-RPC API. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any Vonigo records modified during cutover — new contacts created, job statuses updated, or payments recorded while the team finishes their Vonigo workflow. FlitStack AI generates an audit log of every operation, and one-click rollback is available if record counts or data integrity checks fail on arrival.
