HubSpot Certified Trainers and HubSpot Manufacturing Industry Specialist on staff. Based in Chicago.

Simple Machines Marketing is a HubSpot partner that specializes in manufacturing — connecting HubSpot to the systems manufacturers actually run on. That means integrating your ERP and accounting software (like QuickBooks or NetSuite) with your CRM, structuring HubSpot for quote-to-cash and complex product data, and managing distributor, dealer, and rep relationships inside a single system. Most HubSpot partners implement HubSpot.

A manufacturing specialist implements it around how a manufacturer sells, quotes, and fulfills.

ERP and Accounting Integrations

We build the integrations that keep HubSpot and your financial systems in sync, so a deal in HubSpot and an invoice in your ERP tell the same story.

Quote-to-Cash

Whether through Revenue Hub or agentic workflows, we structure HubSpot around your actual quote-to-cash motion so reps quote faster and nothing falls through the gap between “sold” and “shipped.”

Channel CRM

We architect HubSpot to manage channel relationships and route the right accounts to the right reps and distributors, so your channel is visible and accountable inside one system instead of scattered across spreadsheets.

Manufacturing Spotlight

HubSpot + Microsoft Dynamics 365 Integration

  • The Problem: Datex, a manufacturing warehouse system, had sales and marketing data in silos due to disconnected CRM and ERPs. This prevented them from having a centralized source of truth and hampered efforts to automate and streamline worflows.

  • The Solution: Simple Machines led the integration, starting with thorough data mapping, planning and execution.

  • The Result: “Carrie and Charlie and their team worked with us to implement the Microsoft Dynamics 365 API for integrating HubSpot and Dynamics. We had some specific needs, and Simple Machines leveraged their deep HubSpot expertise and strong technical capabilities to ensure we had a solid, sustainable solution that worked for us.”
    -Darcy Reeves, Datex Corporation

Adams Magnetic

HubSpot + Epicor

  • The Problem: Adams Magnetic, a magnet fabricator and distributor, needed Epicor data synced to HubSpot to enable attribution and closed loop reporting.

  • The Solution: Simple Machines worked with the sales and marketing team to help guide the integration, implement HubSpot in preparation of the sync, and train the teams so that the system would actually be used.

  • The Result: “Simple Machines Marketing has been an outstanding partner for Adams Magnetic Products as we onboarded with HubSpot. Their team trained us on both SalesHub and MarketingHub, and provided helpful guidance in integrating HubSpot with our ERP system, Epicor.”
    -Alice Martin, Adams Magnetic

HubSpot Training & Enablement

With multiple HubSpot-Certified Trainers in house and over 10 years of training on HubSpot, we know what it takes to get manufacturing sales teams and reps to actually use HubSpot.

AI Search Visibility (AEO)

When a buyer asks ChatGPT or Gemini for a supplier or partner, manufacturers with structured, AI-readable content get named — the rest are invisible. We build your HubSpot content to be cited in AI answers, the same way this page is built.

AI-Readiness + Data Trust

Duplicate accounts, inconsistent part and product data, and stale records break reporting — and they break any AI you point at HubSpot. Our Data Trust Snapshot tells you in a week whether your data risk is real, before you build on top of it.

CRM Migrations

Migrating from another CRM to HubSpot is an opportunity to start with clean data and better processes. Whether you’re moving from spreadsheets or Salesforce, we ensure you’re not bringing over bad habits and dirty data.

FAQ

Yes. HubSpot can integrate with ERP and accounting systems like QuickBooks and NetSuite through native connectors, third-party tools, or custom-built workflows. Which approach fits depends on how your data needs to flow and how clean it needs to be on both sides — the right integration keeps your CRM and your financials reconciled instead of drifting apart. Custom work is often required when standard connectors can’t associate records the way a manufacturer needs.

HubSpot works well for manufacturers when it’s implemented around a manufacturing sales motion rather than a generic one — that means handling channel and distributor relationships, quote-to-cash, and ERP integration. A standard implementation misses these, which is why manufacturers benefit from a partner who specializes in the industry rather than a generalist HubSpot setup.

AI search engines cite companies whose content is structured to be read and extracted — clear question-based answers, clean data, and verifiable credentials. For manufacturers, that means publishing content around the specific problems you solve, in the language buyers use, backed by proof. This is called answer engine optimization (AEO), and it’s a distinct discipline from traditional SEO.

A manufacturing specialist implements HubSpot around how manufacturers actually operate: integrating the ERP and accounting systems that run the business, structuring the CRM for complex quoting and configured products, and modeling distributor, dealer, and rep relationships. A generalist implements HubSpot’s standard features; a specialist implements them around your revenue model.
