The challenge
When Enterprise Scale Creates Integration Complexity
Sales & Marketing teams working in silos
Each department needed to work with tools best suited for their specific needs, the sales teams using SAP C4C and marketing teams using HubSpot, but without proper integration between systems.
Complex security requirements blocking integration
VELUX's enterprise-level security standards created technical barriers that prevented their initial consultancy firm from successfully implementing the required SAP C4C and HubSpot integration.
Manual lead handoff processes causing delays
Without automated integration, the transfer of qualified leads from marketing to sales required manual processes that slowed down the entire customer acquisition workflow.
From Standard CRM to Strategic Integration
VELUX Modular Skylights needed more than just a simple data sync, they required a comprehensive integration ecosystem that would:
- Enable automatic lead qualification and handoff processes
- Maintain enterprise-level security standards throughout integration
- Allow each team to work with their preferred specialized tools
- Create bidirectional data flow for complete customer lifecycle tracking

Seamless SAP C4C and HubSpot Integration
1. Technical Assessment and Architecture Design
We conducted thorough stakeholder interviews across sales, marketing, and IT teams to understand the specific requirements and security constraints. Our team mapped the existing workflows and designed a custom integration architecture that met VELUX's enterprise security standards while enabling seamless data flow between HubSpot and SAP C4C.
2. Secure Integration Development
We built the integration solution with enterprise-grade security protocols that previous consultants couldn't achieve. Our development process included creating custom field mapping for accurate data translation and implementing real-time synchronization capabilities that maintained data integrity across both platforms.
3. Comprehensive System Configuration
We configured HubSpot for optimal marketing automation and lead nurturing while setting up SAP C4C for efficient sales quote creation and negotiation management. The integration ensured that qualified leads automatically transfer from marketing to sales at the precise moment they request pricing information.
4. Deployment and Support
We deployed the solution to production with initial data loads and provided ongoing support to ensure smooth operations. Additionally, we supported the other agency in getting SAP up and running, demonstrating our collaborative approach to complex enterprise implementations.
Specialized SAP C4C Integration Excellence
We developed a sophisticated integration that automatically manages the complete customer journey across both platforms. Marketing uses HubSpot tools to drive website conversions and lead nurturing until prospects request pricing. Once sales-qualified, contacts seamlessly transfer to SAP C4C where sales teams create quotes and manage negotiations.
Key Integration Benefits:
- Automatic Lead Qualification: Contacts automatically become sales-qualified when requesting prices, triggering immediate handoff to SAP C4C
- Bidirectional Deal Tracking: Won or lost negotiation outcomes flow back to HubSpot as deal records for continued marketing nurturing
- Upsell Opportunity Management: Successful upsell activities in HubSpot automatically create new leads in SAP, maintaining continuous revenue opportunity tracking
This integration enables VELUX Modular Skylights to maintain specialized departmental efficiency while ensuring no customer opportunity falls through system gaps, creating a truly unified commercial operation.
