Case Study

Two HubSpot portals merged into one, with a rebuilt sales process

Apifonica ran two HubSpot portals, one for Apifonica and one for its German brand TENIOS. We moved both into one new portal with their full history, cleaned and standardized the data, and rebuilt how the sales team works: a new lead pipeline, a revised deal pipeline and a clear handover to the implementation team.

01

The situation

Apifonica sells telecom and AI voice services. Its German business runs under the TENIOS brand. Each brand had its own HubSpot portal, and both subscriptions were ending in summer 2026, so the move had a fixed deadline.

  • Lead statuses were updated by hand, and their names were unclear
  • Qualification answers and offers were kept outside HubSpot
  • Calls and emails were not logged in one place, so sales activity was hard to follow
  • No single place to see the data: marketing, sales and support data lived in different tools

How we approached it

1
Discovery
Audit of both portals, workshops with each team, and a CRM architecture blueprint. June.
2
Sales process and portal build
A new lead pipeline, a revised deal pipeline and the handover from sales to implementation, built into a new portal for both brands. July.
3
Data migration
Contacts, companies, deals and all activity history moved from both old portals, cleaned and standardized on the way. July to September.
4
German team onboarding
Training, then the TENIOS sales and support teams went live together on August 17.
5
Polish team onboarding
Training, then the Polish team went live in September.
6
Fine-tuning and hypercare
Daily check-ins after each go-live, then fixes and improvements until mid-October.

What we built.

  • One portal, full history

    Both brands in one new portal. Contacts, companies, deals and the full history of emails, calls, meetings and notes moved from both old portals.

  • New sales process

    We reworked how the sales team uses HubSpot: a new lead pipeline, a revised deal pipeline, and required fields at each step.

  • Handover to implementation

    A clear handover from sales to the implementation team, so each won deal starts onboarding with the information it needs.

  • Unified processes

    We helped both brands agree on one way of working for sales and support, and cleaned up, normalized and standardized how teams use HubSpot.

  • Dashboards

    Built around the metrics each team tracks, from one source of data.

  • Training and guides

    Training for each team before go-live, written guides, and daily check-ins after.

The review

“What impressed us most was their attitude, their attention to detail and how well they know what HubSpot can and can’t do.”
October 16, 2026
“We now pay almost half what we used to for HubSpot, and our data is clean, relevant and well structured. They prepared a migration plan with clear responsibilities on both sides. It was realistic, we both stuck to it, and the project went live on time.”
