Can HubSpot replace our ERP?

No, and it shouldn't try. ERP is the system of record for orders, inventory, fulfillment. HubSpot is the front-office CRM. They integrate, they don't overlap.

How do you handle multi-currency, multi-region distributors?

HubSpot supports multi-currency. We configure regional pipelines, regional team permissions, and regional reporting rollup.

Do we need a separate CPQ?

Depends on quote complexity. 50 SKUs, bundles, regional pricing, approval workflows: bring in CPQ (DealHub, Salesforce CPQ, PandaDoc) and integrate.

HubSpot for Manufacturing & Industrial

HubSpot for manufacturers and industrial B2B

Manufacturing has 9-18 month sales cycles, dealer networks that aren't your direct customers, quote complexity, and ERP systems that have to stay the system of record. HubSpot fits around all of that.

Manufacturing HubSpot setups have unique shapes: long sales cycles requiring multi-touch nurture across years, dealer/distributor channels that mediate between manufacturer and end-customer, quote complexity that often outgrows HubSpot's native quoting, and tight integration with ERP/PLM/inventory systems. We build HubSpot as the marketing + sales + dealer-comms layer that wraps the ERP source-of-truth.
