The challenge
What has held ADXpert back?
ADXpert, a leading career counseling company, was stuck.
Although the company provides world-class employee satisfaction and reintegration services, its marketing efforts were not hitting the mark.
The team had the necessary expertise, but lacked the right tools and framework to share it with the world.
- Scale & innovate
- Grow & Develop
- Cultivate & profit
The challenge
When Success Creates Digital Complexity
Inadequate marketing toolset limiting growth potential
The marketing team had ambitious plans to become industry leaders but were constrained by a fragmented set of tools that couldn't support their sophisticated campaigns and growth strategies.
Valuable SAP data remaining locked and underutilized
Despite having comprehensive customer and business data stored in their SAP system, this information wasn't being leveraged effectively by marketing and sales teams for commercial activities.
Limited visibility across the complete sales journey
Sales teams lacked comprehensive oversight from initial marketing contact through closed deals, with their previously implemented MS Dynamics CRM failing to reach its full potential due to usability challenges.
Beyond Standard Marketing Tools
Bru Textiles needed more than just another marketing platform, they required a comprehensive commercial ecosystem that would:
- Enable sophisticated marketing campaigns with proper toolset integration
- Unlock and leverage existing SAP system data for commercial activities
- Provide complete sales cycle visibility from first contact to closed deal
- Support their ambitious goal of becoming marketing leaders in their industry

Four-phase HubSpot Growth Suite implementation with complex system integrations
1. Marketing Hub Foundation and Sitecore Integration
We conducted guided basic onboarding for their advanced marketing team, focusing on rapid adoption of inbound methodologies. With their website on Sitecore, a technically complex CMS, we developed specialized integration solutions to ensure smooth data flow and functionality between platforms.
2. SAP S/4 HANA Integration and Data Consolidation
Using our proprietary ElixirSync solution, we integrated their SAP S/4 HANA system with HubSpot in Q4 2019. The primary challenge involved consolidating fragmented data from multiple sources, including various laptops and systems, while managing a six-month project delay due to their SAP system upgrade.
3. Sales Hub Implementation with Change Management Focus
We deployed HubSpot Sales Hub to address the user-friendliness issues they experienced with MS Dynamics CRM. Our approach emphasized change management, ensuring sales teams adopted the solution while providing responsive feedback incorporation and best practice guidance.
4. Service Hub Strategy and Content Planning
We developed the framework for Service Hub implementation to complement their existing SAP return system and commercial support, defining the optimal division of responsibilities between SAP and HubSpot while determining necessary content production requirements.
