Challenge
Emerald National Laboratory was operating with limited CRM capabilities and relied on a fragmented process for managing customer relationships, service requests, and operational data. The team wanted to move beyond basic contact management and establish a centralized HubSpot environment that could support sales activities, customer service operations, reporting, and long-term scalability.
As the organization expanded, they faced several challenges:
- No fully developed CRM strategy or standardized sales process.
- Customer and service data spread across multiple systems and HubSpot portals.
- Limited visibility into customer interactions and ticket management.
- Manual service request handling processes that created inefficiencies.
- A need for improved reporting and future integration with business intelligence tools.
- Desire to create a self-service experience for customers through knowledge management and automated support workflows.
Emerald National Laboratory needed a structured implementation partner that could design a scalable HubSpot architecture while ensuring adoption across their team.

The engagement began with a strategic onboarding process focused on establishing HubSpot best practices and creating a framework that could grow alongside the organization.
