Digitize service and aftermarket operations in industrial and distribution companies
Bring service cases, customer dialogue and support together in a modern system. With HubSpot Service Hub and integration with your ERP system, you gain better visibility, faster handling and improved monitoring.
Common service and aftermarket problems in industrial companies
In many industrial and distribution companies, service cases and customer support are still handled through email, phone, Excel and ERP systems. With HubSpot Service Hub service, support and aftermarket operations can be brought together in a shared CRM. When HubSpot is integrated with an ERP system the support team gains better visibility of customers, order history and service cases.
- Cases get stuck in inboxes and depend on individuals
- Difficult to monitor SLAs and response times
- Support lacks order or product information when the customer calls
- No consolidated history per customer, product or facility
- Aftermarket operations become reactive rather than planned
Examples: how service organizations use HubSpot
Three common scenarios where Service Hub often delivers quick results:
1) Technical support
The customer emails or fills in a form → a case is created automatically → prioritized according to the SLA → assigned to the right team → the customer receives status updates and follow-up.
2) Complaint / warranty
Support sees customer history and order/product data via ERP for faster decisions. Less internal back-and-forth, faster handling.
3) Spare parts and aftermarket operations
Recurring cases signal a need for spare parts, upgrades or service agreements. Service becomes an active part of the business.
Greatest value when HubSpot connects to your ERP system
When HubSpot integrates with your ERP system, the service organization gets the right information directly in CRM without switching between systems.
What support can see immediately
- The customer’s order history
- Installed products
- Warranty information
Three results you usually see quickly
- Faster first response (shorter response time)
- More cases resolved on first contact
- Fewer internal handovers
