HubSpot Platinum Solutions Partner · Based in Belfast

## Why work with a local HubSpot partner?

HubSpot offers its own onboarding, delivered remotely through guided sessions and online learning. It suits many businesses and is a good way to learn the platform.

Working with a local partner is a different experience. Lockview does the build work with you. We sit down with your team, understand how your business actually runs and configure HubSpot around it. You get someone who knows your setup, is a phone call away and is still there after go-live.

Built around your business

### Guidance and practical delivery

We help you make the decisions and carry out the agreed work. You have support through requirements, configuration and testing, with responsibilities and deliverables established at the outset.

Built around your team

### Training and supported handover

Your team learns on the system delivered for your business. We connect training to daily tasks, clarify ownership and work through how the setup will be managed after implementation.

When comparing onboarding options, ask who will carry out the setup, how much is done for you and who supports your team after handover.

## Hands-on support from planning to handover

Lockview works alongside your team at every stage. We explain the decisions, guide users through the changes and build training around the tasks they need to perform.

1. 1
   
   #### Understand
   
   Map your process, data sources and reporting needs.
2. 2
   
   #### Prepare
   
   Organise, clean and migrate your data.
3. 3
   
   #### Configure
   
   Build the agreed processes, automation and reporting.
4. 4
   
   #### Test
   
   Check real working scenarios before launch.
5. 5
   
   #### Train
   
   Show users and admins how to run the system.
6. 6
   
   #### Hand over
   
   Agree ownership, routines and follow-on support.

## Advantages you can put into daily practice

### A shared customer picture

Bring customer details, business relationships and logged activity together. Your team can see the context behind a conversation and maintain a consistent record of follow-up.

### Clearer sales priorities

Track opportunities through agreed pipeline stages, with ownership and next steps recorded. Use that information to structure sales reviews and focus on the opportunities that need attention.

### More useful reporting

Build views of sales activity, pipeline progress, conversion and forecasting around the information your managers need. Shared dashboards give meetings a consistent starting point.

### Repeatable processes

Use automation to support routine actions such as allocating enquiries, updating records or prompting follow-up. Agreed rules help your team handle work consistently.

### Connected software

Connect compatible business applications so relevant information can move between systems. This can reduce repeated data entry and support clearer handovers between teams.

### Information shaped around your work

Organise records, fields and views around your business requirements. Give users access to the information relevant to their role and the processes they manage.

Available tools depend on your HubSpot subscription, user access and the applications you connect. We review those requirements before agreeing the implementation.

## Move your existing data into a useful structure

Your Excel files and internal systems may hold years of customer information. We help you decide what should move into HubSpot, how it should be organised and which relationships need to be retained.

The work begins with reviewing the sources, identifying duplicates or inconsistent entries and mapping the information to the right CRM fields. We agree the migration approach, check the imported records and work with you to validate the result.

For internal systems, the options may include an export and import, an existing connector or an integration. The approach depends on access to the data and what the source system supports.

### How your data moves across

1. 1
   
   #### Review your spreadsheets and systems
2. 2
   
   #### Decide what to keep and how it relates
3. 3
   
   #### Clean duplicates and inconsistent formats
4. 4
   
   #### Map to fields, owners and pipeline stages
5. 5
   
   #### Import, check and sign off with you

## Make automation support the business process

We start with the steps your business needs to follow, then configure appropriate HubSpot tools and workflows around them. The aim is to reduce repetitive administration while keeping responsibilities clear.

Depending on your subscription and agreed scope, examples can include assigning new enquiries, creating follow-up tasks, updating record information and notifying the right person when an opportunity reaches a particular stage.

We test the rules before launch and explain how the automation works, so your team understands what triggers each action and how to review it.

### A practical enquiry-to-follow-up example

1. 1
   
   #### New enquiry arrives in HubSpot
2. 2
   
   #### Allocated to the right owner
3. 3
   
   #### Follow-up task created automatically
4. 4
   
   #### Colleagues notified as the deal progresses

The exact steps are designed around your process and the functionality available in your account.

## Connect the platforms your business already uses

HubSpot can work alongside other software through supported app connections, data sync and custom integrations where appropriate. Lockview helps assess how your existing platforms can connect, rather than assuming every system needs to be replaced.

We review the information that needs to move, which application should hold the authoritative record and whether updates should flow in one direction or both. We also consider field mapping, access, testing and how your team will identify and resolve sync issues.

Integration requirements can include communication tools, accounting software, operational systems or other specialist applications. Feasibility depends on the platform, available connectors or APIs, licences and the data involved. Any additional development or third-party costs are considered when agreeing scope.

## Build reporting around the decisions you make

We work with you to identify the questions your reporting should answer, then configure reports and dashboards around the data available. That can include pipeline value, opportunity progress, sales activity, conversion and forecasting.

Alongside the setup, we explain what the measures mean and which information your team must maintain. Useful reporting depends on consistent data and clear processes as well as the dashboard itself.

### Questions your reporting can help answer

- Which opportunities need attention?
- Where is work slowing down in the pipeline?
- How are opportunities converting?
- What activity is supporting progress?
- What information supports the sales forecast?

## Help the new process become everyday practice

Implementation needs to make sense to the people using it. We design the agreed setup around your business requirements and involve your team in testing real scenarios before handover.

### Train on your own setup

Use your configured system and relevant working examples, so users understand how to record information, progress opportunities and carry out their responsibilities.

### Make ownership clear

Agree who maintains data, checks reporting and manages the configuration. Connect the setup to the management routines that keep it useful.

### Review adoption

Work through questions and early feedback, with follow-on support agreed where needed. Assess whether the process is being used as intended and what needs refining.

## Questions before you start

Does Lockview carry out the implementation or only provide guidance?

Lockview’s onboarding includes carrying out the agreed implementation work alongside your team. The project defines your requirements and deliverables, which can include migration, configuration, automation, integrations and reporting, followed by testing, training and supported handover.

Can you work with our Excel files and internal systems?

Yes. We review your data sources, agree what should be retained and plan how to prepare, map and validate the information in HubSpot. For internal systems, migration or ongoing connection options depend on available exports, connectors, APIs and the access you can provide.

Can HubSpot connect to all our software?

We assess each platform before confirming an integration. Some systems have supported connectors, while others may need custom work or only support a data export. We agree the information flow, technical requirements, testing and any additional costs as part of the scope.

Will we be able to manage HubSpot ourselves?

That is the aim of our training and handover. Your team learns how to manage daily work and maintain the setup delivered. We clarify which changes your administrators can handle and which may need specialist help, particularly for custom integrations or more complex automation.

What does onboarding cost and how long does it take?

Cost and timing depend on your data, configuration, integrations and training requirements. We review these with you before agreeing scope. HubSpot subscription costs, third-party licences and any custom development are considered separately from the implementation work so you can assess the overall commitment.

Does every HubSpot plan include the same tools?

No. The availability of automation, advanced reporting and other tools varies by subscription and user access. We review the functionality needed for your business before configuring the system, so the proposed setup is matched to the features and licences available to you.
