Why clients

choose NowVillage

  • NowVillage is a Diamond partner, the top tier for HubSpot in Japan.

    A top-tier certified partner
    who knows HubSpot inside out

    NowVillage is a HubSpot certified Diamond Partner.
    We are versed in every product, from Marketing Hub through Sales Hub to Content Hub, and propose the right overall design across departments.
    We also research and publish the latest developments through a dedicated HubSpot media site, and that depth of knowledge and experience takes you to success by the shortest route.

  • From building it to making it deliver

    The goal is not to build HubSpot but to get results with it.
    Beyond the initial design and build, we support the embedding that lets your people genuinely use the tool.
    We also maximise the use of the AI features (Breeze) and stay alongside you as a long-term partner in growth, with your productivity in view.

  • Technical strength extending to development, to build the right answer

    We also handle requirements specific to your business that configuring the standard features cannot solve.
    With the technical strength to take on advanced development such as custom objects and API integration, we deliver connections to your existing systems and specialised data management. The result is a bespoke HubSpot environment that fits your business exactly and is genuinely valuable.

How Migration from Zoho to HubSpot works

  • Discovery

    We discuss in depth what your business does, the problems you face now, and your future business goals.

  • Planning

    Working from what we have heard, we plan how HubSpot can be designed and used to contribute to the growth of your business.

  • HubSpot
    design and build

    We design the information architecture and the paths through, building a structure that is easy to use.

  • Data migration and
    system integration

    We migrate the data scattered across the spreadsheets, sales and CRM systems and core systems you use today into HubSpot, safely and accurately.

  • Testing

    After the build and the data migration we test and tune ready for go-live.

  • Training

    We run training and instruction for both users and administrators, to support use of HubSpot and help it take hold.

  • Embedding and
    operational support

    After go-live we monitor how it is being used through regular meetings and propose improvements based on the data.

About our support for moving from Zoho to HubSpot

Frequently asked questions

  • We do not know which HubSpot product and plan is right for us.

    We select and optimise the right HubSpot products (Marketing Hub, Sales Hub, Service Hub and so on) and plan (Starter, Professional, Enterprise and so on) to match what your business does, how far you use Zoho today, and your number of users, with nothing missing and nothing superfluous.
    We never push a more expensive licence than you need.

  • What is the benefit of moving from Zoho CRM's free plan to HubSpot?

    HubSpot CRM brings the features marketing, sales and customer support need together on a single platform, so the customer information each department gathers sits in one place.
    The greatest benefit is therefore being able to coordinate customer handling across departments, and to forecast revenue and analyse measures for the organisation as a whole, immediately within HubSpot.
    HubSpot can also be extended with further features as the business grows.

  • How are Zoho CRM's leads and contacts managed in HubSpot?

    What Zoho CRM calls leads, prospects before a deal exists, and contacts, existing customers and people involved in a live deal, are managed together in HubSpot using the contact object and the lifecycle stage property.
    The leads and contacts exported from Zoho CRM are all imported into HubSpot contacts, and the lifecycle stage (lead, marketing qualified, sales qualified, customer and so on) is set from the original information.

  • How long does moving from Zoho to HubSpot take?

    It varies with how you use Zoho and the volume of data, but three to six months is the usual guide, or six to eight months where there is complex customisation.
    We propose the right schedule for the scale of what you do now, including the volume of data you want to keep (customer and deal information), the number of custom objects and the number of automations built on workflows.

  • Can we run Zoho and HubSpot side by side during the replacement?

    Yes.
    HubSpot provides an official Zoho integration app, so the two can be synced for a period while you migrate in stages.
    To keep disruption and the risk of work stopping to a minimum, we set a safe schedule that includes that period of parallel running.

  • Will our work stop during the migration?

    There is no need to worry. Using the official integration app we can migrate in stages while syncing the data.

  • Our Zoho renewal deadline is approaching. Is a short migration possible?

    By narrowing the scope of what you use in Zoho today, or migrating in stages starting with the important data, a short replacement is possible.
    We have completed a migration on a schedule as tight as two months to the renewal deadline, so do tell us your contract end date and we will build the best plan for meeting it.

  • Can past sales activity, tasks, email and Chatter history, be carried over?

    Basic activity history such as email and tasks can be migrated and synced smoothly into HubSpot's activities.

  • Can Zoho Analytics reports built on SQL queries be reproduced in HubSpot?

    HubSpot's reporting cannot run SQL directly.
    Where HubSpot's custom report builder can cover it, everything stays within HubSpot; where complex aggregation is needed, we would consider connecting HubSpot to an external business intelligence tool such as Google Looker Studio or Tableau.

  • We use the wider Zoho ecosystem. Should we migrate all of it at once?

    Not necessarily.
    It is also possible to migrate in stages: start with the core CRM data (contacts, companies, deals), then once that is running steadily move the marketing features (forms, email and so on), and after that the customer support features (tickets, knowledge base and so on).
    We set the schedule to suit your situation, using the Zoho integration app along the way, so please do start with a free conversation.

  • How much does it cost?

    It depends on the volume of data, the complexity of the customisation and the number of objects you hold.
    We produce a quote free of charge after discussing it, so please do start with a free conversation.
