How to choose a HubSpot Solutions Partner in Australia and New Zealand

Foundry 11 — Sat, 24 Oct 2026 08:06:32 GMT

The short answer: the best HubSpot Solutions Partner for your business is one that has implemented the hubs you need, understands the other systems you run (like NetSuite, Xero or an ERP), is clear about who does the hands-on work, and will still support you after go-live. Being local to Australia or New Zealand matters too, for time zones and for understanding how businesses here operate.

Moving from Odoo to HubSpot: what to plan for

Foundry 11 — Sat, 24 Oct 2026 08:06:32 GMT

The short answer: migrating from Odoo to HubSpot means deciding which jobs move to HubSpot (usually sales, marketing and customer service) and which stay in Odoo (often inventory, invoicing and accounting), then cleaning and mapping your contacts, companies and opportunities before you import them. Many businesses don't leave Odoo completely. They move the customer-facing work to HubSpot and connect the two.

Connecting HubSpot with Xero and Stripe: what syncs and what to plan for

Foundry 11 — Sat, 24 Oct 2026 08:06:31 GMT

The short answer: HubSpot connects to Xero through HubSpot's own Xero data sync app, which can sync contacts, products, invoices and payments, and supports AUD and NZD. Stripe connects in two ways: as the payment processor behind HubSpot's quotes, invoices and subscriptions, or through the Stripe data app, which brings Stripe customers, invoices, subscriptions and payments into HubSpot. The key decision is which system creates and owns invoices.

Your HubSpot is a mess. Here's how to fix it

Foundry 11 — Sat, 24 Oct 2026 08:06:31 GMT

The short answer: fixing a messy HubSpot setup starts with an audit, not a rebuild. Work out how your business actually runs, compare it with how HubSpot is set up, then clean up in order: data and duplicates, properties, pipelines, workflows, and finally reports. Most portals can be fixed without starting again.

Migrating from Salesforce to HubSpot: a practical guide for Australian businesses

Foundry 11 — Sat, 24 Oct 2026 08:06:30 GMT

The short answer: a Salesforce to HubSpot migration works best in phases. You audit what's in Salesforce, design how HubSpot should be set up, clean and map the data, migrate and test, and only then switch the team over. Automation and reports are rebuilt in HubSpot rather than copied. You can do it with HubSpot, with a HubSpot Solutions Partner, or as a mix of both.

Should your website be on HubSpot CMS?

Foundry 11 — Sat, 24 Oct 2026 08:06:29 GMT

The short answer: building your website on HubSpot Content Hub makes the most sense when you already use HubSpot, or plan to, and you want your website, forms, CRM and marketing in one place. Hosting is included, your team can edit pages without a developer, and every form and page view connects straight to your contact records. If you need a large online store or highly custom functionality, WordPress or a dedicated ecommerce platform may suit better.

Buying HubSpot through a partner vs direct: what's the difference?

Foundry 11 — Sat, 24 Oct 2026 08:06:29 GMT

The short answer: yes, you can buy HubSpot through a HubSpot Solutions Partner instead of directly from HubSpot. You get the same HubSpot software, and your account and data are still yours. The difference is who you deal with: a partner gives you one point of contact for choosing the right subscription, setting it up, and upgrading when you need more.

Moving to HubSpot from another CRM: what a migration actually involves

Foundry 11 — Sat, 24 Oct 2026 04:44:42 GMT

You've decided your current CRM isn't working. Maybe it's too clunky, too expensive for what you use, or your team has quietly stopped using it. HubSpot looks like the answer. Then someone asks the question that stalls the whole project: what happens to all our data?

Connecting HubSpot to NetSuite: what to know before you start

Foundry 11 — Sat, 24 Oct 2026 04:43:41 GMT

HubSpot runs your sales and marketing. NetSuite runs your finance, inventory and orders. On their own, both do their jobs well. The trouble starts in the gap between them: sales can't see what a customer has ordered, finance re-keys deals by hand, and nobody is sure which system has the right address.

Getting your team to actually use HubSpot

Foundry 11 — Sat, 24 Oct 2026 04:42:27 GMT

Most HubSpot projects don't fail at launch. They fail quietly over the following months. The system goes live, a few people use it properly, and everyone else drifts back to spreadsheets, inboxes and sticky notes. A year later, the business is paying for a platform that only half the team trusts.
