HubSpot for industrial & manufacturing
Manufacturers, distributors and companies making components, machinery or materials. We set up HubSpot for complex B2B sales: requests for quotation, quotes with product lines, distributors, samples, long sales cycles and after-sales, with prices, stock, orders and invoices synced with your ERP.
Daily life in an industrial company
In manufacturing, a sale takes months, involves purchasing, engineering and management, and depends on data held in the ERP. If the CRM can’t see it, your sales team is working blind.
RFQs arrive by email, the technical office builds the quote in a spreadsheet and nobody knows where each one stands.
Costquotes sent that nobody chases
Every fair leaves a pile of business cards and notes that get entered weeks later, or never, and follow-up arrives once interest has cooled.
Costa trade fair with no measurable return
You don’t know which opportunities went to each distributor, what they are selling or which end customers sit behind them.
Costan uncontrolled channel and territory clashes
Sales reps phone the office to check price lists or availability, and once they close, someone re-keys the order into the ERP.
Costorder errors and days of delay
Months of conversations with several stakeholders, scattered between email and the rep’s head. If they change accounts or leave, the history goes with them.
Costopportunities that start again from scratch
Samples go out with no response date, and issues, warranty claims and returns are handled by email, far from the customer record.
Costsamples that don’t convert and customers who don’t reorder
What we set up
Products, distributors, samples and orders modelled the way your company actually sells, in one country or several.
Integrations
The ERP stays in charge of prices, stock and invoicing; HubSpot owns the customer relationship. We agree which system is the source of truth for each field and sync both ways, with no duplicates.
Prices, stock, orders and invoices with no double keying.
Orders and sample requests straight into the pipeline.
Conversations and visits logged on each account record.
Migration with accounts, contacts, deals and history.
How we implement it
Indicative timelines: 4 to 8 weeks for Sales Hub and 10 to 14 for complex projects, such as those integrating the ERP across several countries.
We talk to sales reps, the technical office, finance and channel managers to understand how each deal comes in, gets quoted and closes.
We define products, families, distributors, orders and samples, and how they relate to accounts and deals. Custom objects where needed (available on Enterprise editions).
We decide which system owns each field and connect prices, stock, orders and invoices with two-way sync, retries and a dry-run mode.
We bring over accounts, contacts, quotes and history from Salesforce, Odoo, another CRM or Excel, with no duplicates.
We test real quotes, orders and invoices with your team, by country and currency, before switching anything on.
We train each role, in Spain and in Italy, and keep improving with optional monthly support.
Real projects
A manufacturer already sends its won deals from HubSpot to Holded using this integration pattern. And the Salesforce migration shows how we move complex processes without losing the business logic.
An integration pattern already used by a shop, a foodtech company, a tax advisory firm, a manufacturer and a law firm with 5 companies.

Yes, when it is configured for complex B2B sales. HubSpot can model products, distributors, samples and orders, support account-based selling and connect to your ERP. Out of the box it only has contacts, companies and deals: adapting it to your process is our job.
Yes. We have already done it with Holded and Odoo, including for a manufacturer: when a deal is won, the contact and the invoice or pro forma with the quote’s line items are created in the ERP, and the number and PDF come back to HubSpot. If your ERP has an API, we will look at the integration.
Each distributor is a company with its territory, terms and end customers linked through labelled associations. That lets you route opportunities by territory, see what has been passed to each one and measure sales by channel.
Yes. We load your catalogue into the product library, ideally synced with the ERP, and quotes are built from its line items, discounts and terms. Quoting features and multiple currencies depend on the edition you subscribe to.
Yes. We set up teams, permissions and pipelines by country, currencies, campaigns in each language and comparable reports. We work with clients in Spain and Italy and also train teams in Italian.
As a guide, 4 to 8 weeks for Sales Hub and 10 to 14 for complex projects, such as those involving ERP integration, migration and several countries. We firm this up after the initial audit.
