The Challenge
What Was Holding ADXpert Back?
ADXpert, a leading occupational consulting firm, was stuck.
Despite offering top-tier services in employee satisfaction and reintegration, their marketing efforts weren't hitting the mark.
Their team had the expertise but lacked the right tools and framework to share it with the world.

- Grow & Develop
- Cultivate & Benefit
The Challenge
When Success Creates Marketing Complexity
Underutilized HubSpot capabilities
Despite investing in HubSpot, Kentucky couldn't leverage its full marketing power due to disconnected systems. Their sophisticated eCommerce platform ran separately from their marketing tools, creating missed opportunities for customer engagement and personalized experiences.
Fragmented customer data
Customer information lived in silos between Shopware and HubSpot, making it impossible to create comprehensive customer profiles. Marketing teams spent hours manually gathering data instead of crafting strategic campaigns that could drive real business results.
Missed automation opportunities
Without proper integration, Kentucky couldn't automatically trigger personalized email sequences based on purchase behavior or browsing patterns. This manual approach limited their ability to scale personalized experiences and respond to customer actions in real-time.
A Unified Digital Ecosystem
Kentucky needed more than just separate marketing and eCommerce tools; they required a unified marketing ecosystem that would:
- Create comprehensive customer profiles combining purchase history with engagement data
- Enable real-time personalization based on browsing and buying behavior
- Automate targeted campaigns triggered by specific customer actions
- Provide actionable insights for strategic marketing decision-making

How we made it happen
Custom HubSpot x Shopware Integration
1. Business Assessment and Portal Analysis
We conducted comprehensive stakeholder interviews across marketing and eCommerce teams to understand Kentucky's unique customer journey and identify integration requirements.
Our technical assessment revealed specific data synchronization needs and automation opportunities that would transform their marketing approach.
2. Data Model Optimization and Integration Architecture
We designed a custom integration framework connecting Shopware's rich eCommerce data with HubSpot's marketing automation capabilities.
This involved mapping customer data fields, product information, and purchase behaviors to create a unified customer database that would power personalized marketing campaigns.
3. Real-Time Synchronization Implementation

This real-time synchronization enabled immediate response to customer actions and created opportunities for timely, relevant marketing touchpoints.
4. Marketing Automation and Team Enablement
We configured advanced automation workflows triggered by specific customer behaviors, purchase patterns, and engagement levels.
Through comprehensive training sessions, we empowered Kentucky's marketing team to leverage these new capabilities, creating sophisticated nurturing sequences and targeted campaigns that drive measurable results.
