Contentful to Sanity Migration in Northampton

Moving Northampton organisations from Contentful to Sanity, where the body content is what needs work. The two platforms represent rich text as different structures — with embedded entries, links and marks arranged their own way — so article bodies have to be transformed rather than transferred, and that transformation is the migration.

Why this comes up

The problem

Rich text exported from Contentful arrives as a structure Sanity cannot interpret.

What you get

What we deliver

  • Rich text converted between the two document structures, not copied across
  • Embedded entries and assets within body content preserved through the conversion
  • References between documents remapped, since identifiers change
  • Content model translated to Sanity's schema definitions in code
  • Assets migrated with their metadata rather than only their files
  • Conversion verified on real content, because the difficult cases are in the archive

Working in Northampton

East Midlands

Northampton sits at the centre of the UK's distribution network, and warehousing and logistics operators here tend to need stock, routing and fulfilment systems that talk to whatever the client's customers already use.

Warehousing and distribution work leads here: stock accuracy, routing, proof of delivery, and portals that let customers see their own inventory without phoning in.

Contentful to Sanity Migration in Northampton — common questions

Why can rich text not simply be moved?
Because the platforms model it differently. Both represent formatted content as structured data rather than markup, but the shapes disagree — so a converter has to be written and, more importantly, checked against the varied content that has accumulated over years.
What happens to embedded entries?
They need handling explicitly. Content with an embedded product card, callout or related article inside the body is the part conversions break on, and a migration tested only against plain paragraphs will appear to work until an editor opens something real.
Do references survive?
Only if remapped. Documents referencing each other by identifier need those identifiers translating as part of the migration, and a run that imports documents before their targets exist produces references pointing at nothing.
How should the conversion be verified?
Against the oldest and strangest content you have. Recent articles follow current conventions and convert cleanly, whereas the archive contains formatting decisions nobody remembers making — and those are exactly the pages that will be noticed if they arrive broken.
Do you work with businesses across Northamptonshire?
Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East Midlands, including Northampton and the surrounding Northamptonshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
What kind of Northampton businesses do you usually work with?
Warehousing and distribution work leads here: stock accuracy, routing, proof of delivery, and portals that let customers see their own inventory without phoning in. Beyond that we work across Logistics & Distribution, Footwear & Leather, Motorsport, Financial Services and Retail.
Do you cover the areas around Northampton?
Yes — we work throughout East Midlands, including Milton Keynes, Leicester, Coventry, Cambridge. Northampton is an urban area of roughly 245,000+, and we take on work across the wider Northamptonshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
