5 phases

Delivery approach

7 objects

HubSpot architecture

A scalable HubSpot foundation for Behrens Group, with the initial Garments rollout, Intact iQ integration design, actionable account intelligence, shared customer visibility, management reporting and a controlled first AI and automation package.

6 controls that keep delivery within scope

  1. 1Phase 0 designs for the wider group, but only the Garments team is configured and taken live in this scope.
  2. 2Behrens owns the Intact iQ integration build and principal data preparation. Forbidden owns the HubSpot architecture, mappings, guidance and QA.
  3. 3All ten AI and automation ideas are assessed, but the build commitment is a prioritised first package within the agreed AI build allowance.
  4. 4One RFM architecture is agreed and implemented for Phase 1. The project will not duplicate the same model in both Power BI and HubSpot.
  5. 5Marketing activity is limited to future-readiness, contact and consent architecture. A full B2B or B2C marketing migration is not included.
  6. 6UAT includes one structured test cycle and one consolidated refinement round, followed by one combined training and handover process.

Delivery approach

How the project runs, phase by phase.

  1. 1

    Phase 1

    Discovery and Design

    Confirm the agreed outcomes, responsibilities, architecture, integration assumptions, RFM approach, AI priorities and acceptance criteria, and produce the Implementation Blueprint.

    • Kick-off and Discovery
    • Implementation Blueprint and Solution Design
  2. 2

    Phase 2

    CRM Foundation and Integration Readiness

    Configure the initial CRM and communication model, define the Intact integration contract and support Behrens technical implementation.

    • CRM and Data Architecture, Phase 1 Configuration
    • Outlook, Email and Shared Inbox Configuration
    • Intact iQ Integration Design and QA
  3. 3

    Phase 3

    Account Intelligence and Marketing Readiness

    Implement the agreed RFM/account-health process and reporting package, and document the minimum marketing and consent architecture.

    • RFM, Account Health and Reporting

    • Daily Commercial Priorities
    • Product Whitespace Visibility
  4. 4

    Phase 4

    AI and Automation

    Assess all ten ideas, approve the priority package, design and build the agreed first versions, test representative scenarios and complete the short pilot review.

    • AI and Automation Assessment
    • AI and Automation Priority Build Package
    • AI Pilot Review and Operational Handover
  5. 5

    Phase 5

    Testing and Handover

    Complete structured UAT, one consolidated refinement round, demonstration, role-based enablement and final handover.

    • UAT, Refinement, Training and Final Handover

Solution architecture

How your HubSpot will be structured.

The records the solution is built around, and how they connect.

Standard object

Companies and contacts

Customer and prospect identity, ownership, segmentation and contact relationships. Future division structures are considered in the design but not fully configured.

Standard object

Deals and agreed lifecycle fields

A practical initial sales process for prospects and opportunities, with common definitions that can be reused across divisions.

Integration data layer

Customer, order and product context

Agreed Intact data is made available in HubSpot through the Behrens-built integration. The Blueprint defines identifiers, associations, source-of-truth rules and acceptance checks.

Communication and service layer

Outlook and agreed shared inbox process

Customer communications are logged against the relevant CRM records with agreed routing, ownership and handover behaviour.

Account intelligence layer

RFM and account-health signals

The agreed RFM approach drives prioritised account actions, alerts and management visibility rather than passive reporting.

AI and automation layer

Prioritised use cases

AI is applied where interpretation or summarisation creates value. Deterministic rules are used where they are more reliable or economical.

Management layer

Dashboards and benefits reporting

Pipeline, activity, account health, adoption and agreed value measures provide directors and managers with practical visibility.

Project objectives

What the implementation will achieve.

01

Single customer view

Bring customer, contact, activity and agreed Intact data together so users can understand the customer without searching across separate systems.

02

Reduced administration

Remove avoidable double entry by improving email and activity capture, task ownership and day-to-day CRM usability.

03

Actionable account intelligence

Turn the existing RFM model into a practical account-management process with clear at-risk or lapsed follow-up and measurable outcomes.

04

Sales and service continuity

Establish shared processes, inbox visibility, ownership and handover so customer context is not lost when colleagues are absent or leave.

05

Practical AI and automation

Assess the ten identified use cases, prioritise those with the strongest value and data readiness, then build and pilot the agreed first package.

06

Measurable value and future readiness

Provide management visibility of pipeline, activity, account health and adoption while designing the data model for future divisions and marketing requirements.
