Industrial HubSpot CRM Implementation: How EXAIR Unified Sales, Marketing, and Orders

RGB_Exair_Full-Color

Overview

EXAIR, an industrial manufacturer, was running sales, marketing, and order data across disconnected systems—with no centralized way to manage pipeline, track performance, or understand revenue.

Their ERP functioned as a system of record, but not a system for managing how their team actually sells.

Evenbound designed and implemented a structured revenue system in HubSpot, unifying sales, marketing, and order data into a single platform.

This project shows how an industrial manufacturer implemented HubSpot CRM to improve lead management, pipeline visibility, and revenue reporting—while supporting both complex sales cycles and high-volume transactional orders.

This is a common challenge for industrial companies: the systems exist, but they aren’t structured around how revenue actually happens.

The Challenge

No Centralized CRM to Support How Sales Actually Happen

EXAIR relied on their ERP as a CRM, with no structured way to manage pipeline, qualify leads, or track customer data in real time.

Fragmented Tech Stack

Tools like Magento, Marketo, Klaviyo, Microsoft Dynamics NAV, and NetSuite operated independently—creating disconnected data, inconsistent workflows, and limited visibility across systems.

No Structured Lead Qualification or Pipeline Governance

Leads, opportunities, and customers were not clearly defined. This led to inconsistent deal creation, unclear ownership, and limited visibility into pipeline data.

Data & Forecasting Inaccuracy

As EXAIR continued growing, the lack of unified customer data created increasing complexity around reporting accuracy, lead management, and operational alignment.

Existing systems limited the organization’s ability to leverage modern automation and AI-driven insights.

The Solution

Evenbound redesigned EXAIR’s revenue infrastructure—transitioning them from disconnected systems to a unified, scalable HubSpot environment.

Centralized Revenue System in HubSpot

We unified sales, marketing, and operational data into a single HubSpot environment—creating a single system of record for sales, marketing, and order activity.

Structured Sales and Lead Management Architecture

We defined lifecycle stages, built a dedicated lead pipeline, implemented a deal pipeline for opportunities over $3,000, and created a system for tracking transactional orders.

This structure enabled:

  • Clear lead qualification and progression (New → Qualified)
  • Controlled deal creation
  • Separation of high-value opportunities and transactional revenue

The system was designed to support both complex sales cycles and high-volume transactional orders—while aligning with ERP-driven order data and existing operational workflows.

Automation & Reporting

Evenbound built role-specific dashboards and reporting systems to improve executive visibility, provide clearer insight into pipeline and performance data, and increase accountability across teams. In addition, scalable workflows were implemented to reduce manual processes, streamline day-to-day operations, and improve responsiveness throughout the customer lifecycle, enabling EXAIR to operate more efficiently and consistently as the organization grows.

Change Management

To support long-term adoption and operational consistency, Evenbound developed onboarding and operational documentation tailored to EXAIR’s teams and workflows. Hands-on training sessions were conducted for different user groups to ensure employees could confidently navigate and utilize HubSpot in their day-to-day responsibilities.

Through this enablement-focused approach, EXAIR’s internal teams were empowered to independently manage reporting, automation, and CRM processes while driving organizational alignment around standardized sales and customer management practices. The implementation also helped reduce reliance on tribal knowledge and disconnected workflows, creating a more scalable and collaborative operational environment.

 

The Results

Overall, the implementation represented a broader operational transformation initiative focused on improving visibility, scalability, and customer engagement. EXAIR transitioned from fragmented systems and manual processes to a centralized, scalable customer platform, with HubSpot at the foundation.

Building the Foundation for AI-Driven Growth

Beyond improving immediate operational efficiency, the implementation established a scalable customer data foundation designed to support EXAIR’s long-term automation and AI initiatives.

The implementation prioritized:

  • standardized CRM governance,
  • consistent lifecycle management,
  • improved data quality,
  • centralized reporting visibility,
  • and scalable automation frameworks.

These foundational improvements positioned EXAIR to more effectively leverage emerging AI-powered capabilities within HubSpot and reduce operational friction as the organization continues to grow.
