Solwey and HubSpot Partner to Advance E-Commerce Businesses

Customized software solutions built in tandem with effective marketing, sales and service tools are fundamental for startup success. 

As a startup, it’s essential to have access to tools, platforms and strategies that can “grow” as your company grows. Throughout its various stages of growth, a successful startup will naturally require more robust communication features, increased integration and deeper customization. This is where HubSpot helps. 

Unfortunately, maximizing all of the value HubSpot delivers can be difficult when you’re focused daily on building your company. Since there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for startups, early-stage businesses often need help navigating the robust CRM platform’s different features to identify what works best to meet their individual needs as an organization.

Through one unique partnership, startup companies across industries are increasingly capitalizing on the myriad software, integrations and resources HubSpot makes available for inbound marketing, sales and customer service.

What is HubSpot?

Bringing together the marketing, sales and service of your business, Hubspot is a B2B customer relationship management platform that delivers the expansive suite of tools a growing startup needs to provide premium customer service together in one location. Offering a customer experience-centered set of sales and marketing tools that work seamlessly as one, the specialized CRM automation platform follows along your journey as you reach your target audience and turn them into paying customers. 

The powerful platform can revolutionize your sales process by doing the following and more:

• Centralizing your customer data in one location, thus making it easy for all teams to access and manage. 
• Speeding up sales cycles to avoid the risk of unwarranted customer churn.
• Supporting marketing and sales efforts when nurturing leads.
• Housing all customer communication methods, whether they reach out via social media, live chat or email, in one location. 
• Providing real-time alerts to inform you as potential clients view offers or open emails, ensuring you can take prompt action.

Trusted by 150,000 businesses in more than 120 countries, HubSpot is well known for its automation and personalization capabilities. While the platform offers a wide range of resources to help companies maximize sales, startups can derive considerable value from using its five main “Hubs.” Standalone, the Hubs are powerful and advantageous. However, HubSpot’s true power is unleashed when startups utilize its solutions together. This is where Solwey helps.
