  • Replaced manual, calendar-based renewal tracking with automated renewal creation and reporting

  • Centralized sales activity, calls, emails, tasks, and deal management inside HubSpot

  • Connected a separate rental and inventory system to HubSpot through a custom integration

 

The company provides industrial inspection equipment and services supporting non-destructive testing, remote visual inspection, drone-based inspection, environmental monitoring, and equipment analysis. With branches operating across multiple U.S. states and Canada, its teams manage a combination of equipment sales, rentals, repairs, and ongoing customer relationships.

 

NetSuite served as an important financial and operational system for the business, containing years of customer, invoice, and financial information. But much of that information was difficult for the sales team to access and act on during their normal day-to-day work.

 

The Challenge

NetSuite Had the Data. Sales Had No Easy Way to Use It.

When the company engaged Unlimited Tech Solutions, valuable account and financial information already existed inside NetSuite.

 

The problem was that the sales team didn't have a practical way to use it.

 

Historical customer records, invoices, and renewal information lived in NetSuite while reps worked across separate tools for tasks, communications, and account follow-up. There was no connected environment bringing financial history and sales activity together around the customer.

 

That disconnect created several challenges:

 

  • There was no established migration path for bringing years of historical NetSuite customer and transaction data into a CRM the sales team could actively use.

  • According to the company's own estimate, sales reps were spending less than half of their time actually selling, in part because information and activities were spread across disconnected systems.

  • Renewal tracking depended heavily on calendar reminders and manual follow-up rather than signals generated from existing contract and invoice data.

  • The company estimated that 10 to 20% of potential renewal revenue was going unrealized because there was no systematic process connecting NetSuite data to renewal opportunities.

  • Sales managers had limited visibility into where deals were slowing down or where reps needed support unless someone explicitly raised the issue.

 

For a multi-branch organization managing technical equipment sales, rentals, repairs, and long-term customer relationships, the challenge wasn't simply implementing another CRM.

The company needed to make the information already living in NetSuite useful to the teams responsible for generating and retaining revenue.

 

In short, they needed NetSuite and HubSpot to work together.

How Unlimited Tech Solutions Helped

Unlimited Tech Solutions approached the engagement by first establishing a reliable data foundation between NetSuite and HubSpot, then building the company's sales and renewal processes on top of that connected information.

Rather than treating the integration as a simple transfer of records from one platform to another, the goal was to make NetSuite data accessible and actionable inside the system sales teams would use every day.

 

1. NetSuite Data Migration and Native HubSpot Integration

The first major step was migrating historical customer, invoice, and financial information from NetSuite into HubSpot.

 

That meant carefully bringing years of existing data into the new CRM environment while preserving the information sales teams needed to understand their accounts.

Once that historical foundation was established, Unlimited configured HubSpot's native NetSuite data sync to keep the two platforms connected going forward.

 

  • Customer and financial information could remain aligned between NetSuite and HubSpot.

  • Sales teams could access relevant account context without constantly moving between disconnected systems.

  • New information no longer had to depend on repetitive manual entry simply to make it available to the sales organization.


The result was not a replacement for NetSuite. Instead, each platform could continue serving its intended purpose while sharing the information needed across the business.

 

NetSuite remained an important financial and operational system, while HubSpot became the environment where sales teams could actually use that information to manage customer relationships.

 

2. Renewal Automation Powered by Connected NetSuite Data

Once NetSuite and HubSpot were communicating reliably, Unlimited could address one of the company's most significant revenue process gaps: renewals.

Previously, renewal follow-up depended heavily on individual calendar reminders and manual tracking.

 

That made the process difficult to manage consistently across customers, branches, and account managers. More importantly, it created the potential for revenue opportunities to simply be missed.

 

Unlimited built a more systematic renewal process inside HubSpot.

 

When a qualifying deal closes, HubSpot can automatically create the corresponding future renewal opportunity. Upcoming renewals are then surfaced through reporting and dashboards so account managers have visibility into what is approaching and when action needs to happen.

Instead of relying on someone to remember that a customer needs to be contacted months later, the process is built into the CRM.

That gives the company a more proactive way to manage recurring revenue while reducing the risk associated with manual calendar-based tracking.

 

3. A Unified Sales Workspace in HubSpot

With historical NetSuite information available inside HubSpot, Unlimited then focused on bringing the company's day-to-day selling activity into the same environment.

HubSpot Sales Hub was configured to give reps a centralized workspace for managing:

  • Calls

  • Emails

  • Tasks

  • Customer activity

  • Deals

  • Follow-up

  • Account information

The company's cloud calling platform was incorporated into HubSpot activity tracking so calls and email interactions could become part of the same customer history.

 

Automated data entry and prospect intent signals further reduced the amount of information reps had to manually gather or maintain.

 

Instead of piecing together the customer story across financial systems, task tools, communications platforms, and individual reminders, reps could work from a much more complete account view.

 

4. A Sales Pipeline Built Around the Company's Actual Sales Process

The company wasn't operating a simple transactional sales model.

 

Its teams manage a combination of technical equipment sales, rentals, ongoing account relationships, and consultative conversations that can progress differently depending on the customer's needs.

 

Unlimited built a custom sales pipeline in HubSpot around that reality rather than forcing the organization into a generic CRM structure.

 

Automated workflows were also introduced to help surface areas requiring attention, including:

  • Stalled leads

  • Inactive deals

  • Open rental quotes

  • Tasks requiring follow-up

  • Upcoming renewal opportunities


That gave reps clearer direction on what needed attention while giving sales managers greater visibility into where opportunities were moving, slowing down, or potentially getting stuck.

 

5. Extending HubSpot Into Rental and Inventory Operations

NetSuite wasn't the only important operational system involved.

 

The company also relied on a separate platform for rental and inventory management, another important source of customer activity that sales teams needed visibility into.

Unlimited built a custom integration connecting that system with HubSpot, extending the same connected-data strategy beyond NetSuite.

 

Rental information could become part of the broader customer picture inside HubSpot rather than remaining isolated in another platform.

 

The integration also created a foundation for expanding that connectivity into additional operational areas, including equipment repair.

Results

The engagement gave the company a connected sales environment built on top of the customer and financial information it had already accumulated in NetSuite.

 

Historical NetSuite data became usable by sales

Years of customer, invoice, and financial information were migrated into HubSpot, giving sales teams greater access to account context without requiring them to work directly inside NetSuite for every interaction.

 

NetSuite and HubSpot remained connected going forward

HubSpot's native NetSuite data sync created an ongoing connection between the platforms rather than making the migration a one-time transfer.

 

That allowed NetSuite to continue supporting financial and operational processes while HubSpot became the primary environment for sales activity and customer relationship management.

 

Renewal management became proactive instead of calendar-driven

Renewal opportunities could now be created systematically inside HubSpot and surfaced through dashboards for account managers.

 

Instead of depending on individual reminders, the company gained a repeatable process for identifying upcoming renewals and initiating follow-up.

 

Sales activity became easier to see and manage

Calls, emails, tasks, deals, customer history, and relevant NetSuite information could all be viewed within HubSpot.

 

That gave reps a clearer workspace for managing accounts while providing sales managers with better visibility into pipeline activity and areas requiring attention.

 

Less dependence on disconnected tools and manual tracking

Automated workflows helped identify stalled opportunities, inactive deals, open rental quotes, and upcoming renewals without requiring teams to manually maintain separate tracking processes.

 

A foundation for a more connected operational environment

The custom rental and inventory integration extended HubSpot's visibility beyond NetSuite and created a framework that can continue expanding into additional customer and service processes, including equipment repair.

 

Why Unlimited Tech Solutions

The company needed more than a partner that could turn on a NetSuite connector.

They needed a team that could migrate years of historical data, configure the native NetSuite and HubSpot integration correctly, understand how that information should support the sales organization, and then build the processes and automation around it.

 

Unlimited Tech Solutions brought those pieces together.

 

The engagement connected NetSuite and HubSpot while also addressing the workflows that depended on that connection, including renewal management, sales activity tracking, pipeline visibility, and rental operations.

 

The result is an environment where NetSuite can continue supporting the financial side of the business while HubSpot gives sales teams a practical way to act on that information.

For organizations with critical customer and financial data sitting inside an ERP like NetSuite, connecting the systems is only part of the challenge.

 

The real opportunity comes from turning that connected data into processes teams can actually use.
