The Challenge

The Lewer Agency faced significant issues with their existing CRM setup:

  • Customization and Process Issues: Their data was disorganized, lacking the necessary customization and formal processes required for efficient CRM use.
  • Technical Limitations: Despite the Director of IT’s expertise, the limitations of HubSpot APIs hindered a seamless transition to Salesforce.
  • Functionality Differences: SyncMatters had to navigate the differences between HubSpot and Salesforce, such as the requirement for relations to parent records in Salesforce and the need to split HubSpot 'companies' and 'deals' into multiple record types.

The Solution

 

SyncMatters tackled the migration with a tailored approach:

  • Data Organization: SyncMatters addressed the disorganized data by enabling validation and deduplication rules, followed by a re-importation of data to ensure accuracy and organization.
  • Complex Data Handling: They split HubSpot 'companies' and 'deals' objects into three different record types to match Salesforce’s structure.
  • Custom Solutions: The team parsed deals from HubSpot's user interface for custom matching, enabling accurate migration despite HubSpot’s API limitations.
