Summary
Parts Supply overcame fragmented commercial operations and gained unified back and front office alignment. Now equipped with complete customer visibility, integrated quoting capabilities, and real-time asset tracking, Parts Supply can deliver exceptional customer service while maximizing upselling opportunities.
The challenge
Targeting Growth, Struggling With Visibility
Fragmented Customer Information
Commercial teams struggled with customer data scattered across multiple systems. Sales representatives lacked complete visibility into customer history, installed equipment, and service requirements before client meetings.
Disconnected Back and Front Office Operations
The back office operated efficiently in SAP Business One while commercial departments managed activities in separate systems. This created information silos that hindered customer-centric decision making.
Limited Asset Visibility for Commercial Teams
Marketing, sales, and service teams couldn't access critical information about installed machines at customer sites. This prevented targeted campaigns, effective upselling, and proactive service delivery.
Strategic Commercial Transformation
Parts Supply needed more than just system connectivity, they required a comprehensive commercial ecosystem that would:
- Create unified customer data across all touchpoints
- Enable powerful quote generation while maintaining CRM visibility
- Provide complete installed base visibility for all commercial teams
- Streamline workflows between back office and customer-facing operations

Comprehensive SAP B1 x HubSpot Integration
1. Discovery and Requirements Analysis
We conducted stakeholder interviews across sales, marketing, service, and IT teams to understand critical workflows.
Our team mapped existing processes and designed a custom roadmap aligned with Parts Supply's international business cycles.
2. Core CRM Data Integration
We established seamless data flow between SAP B1 and HubSpot for accounts, contacts, and deal management.
Customer classifications from SAP appeared as simple attributes in HubSpot, enabling commercial teams to distinguish between customer types like "Parts trader/dealer" and "Service & Maintenance" instantly. Contacts created in HubSpot automatically sync to SAP with clear origin tracking.
3. Quote Management Optimization
We implemented a hybrid approach where deals begin in HubSpot for relationship management, then transition to SAP B1 for detailed quote creation.
Completed quotes automatically sync back to HubSpot, maintaining deal visibility for ongoing commercial activities.
4. Asset Maintenance Integration
Using Elixir's proprietary Asset Maintenance add-on, we integrated IBase data from SAP into HubSpot through a custom card display on company records.
This enabled marketing campaigns based on equipment ownership, sales visibility for upselling opportunities, and service team access to complete equipment history for more effective support.
Main Results
Parts Supply achieved complete commercial alignment between their back office operations and customer-facing teams. The integrated platform now provides real-time visibility into customer relationships, installed equipment, and ongoing opportunities, enabling data-driven decision-making across all commercial activities.

What Success Looks Like
Unify Back and Front Office Operations
Before: Commercial teams operated in isolation from back office data, creating information gaps and missed opportunities.
After: Seamless data flow between SAP B1 and HubSpot ensures all teams work with consistent, real-time customer information enabling coordinated commercial strategies.
Streamline Quote-to-Cash Processes
Before: Quote creation required manual coordination between systems, creating delays and potential data inconsistencies in the sales process.
After: Automated quote workflow leverages SAP's powerful product configuration while maintaining CRM deal visibility, accelerating sales cycles and improving accuracy.
Enable Complete Customer Visibility
Before: Sales representatives entered customer meetings without complete context about equipment, service history, or business relationship depth.
After: Comprehensive customer profiles in HubSpot display complete relationship timelines, installed equipment details, and service history, empowering informed customer conversations.
Enhanced Commercial Intelligence
The integration delivered additional strategic benefits beyond the core objectives. Marketing teams can now launch targeted campaigns based on installed equipment data, sales representatives identify upselling opportunities during customer visits, and service teams access complete equipment context when handling support requests.
