How We Build HubSpot CPQ That Actually Works

When CPQ breaks down, it’s usually not because of the platform, it’s because the implementation doesn’t match the way the business sells. At Aptitude 8, we don’t just set up quoting tools. We architect end-to-end CPQ systems in HubSpot that align tightly to your GTM motion, sales workflows, and revenue operations infrastructure.

Our Strategic Approach to CPQ

We start every CPQ engagement with a strategic discovery process that maps out:

  • Your deal lifecycle from quote creation to closed-won

  • Approval workflows by region, deal size, and discount threshold

  • Product packaging, bundling logic, and upsell/cross-sell dependencies

  • Required integrations with finance, billing, or ERP systems

This discovery process ensures your CPQ system mirrors your real-world sales complexity, rather than forcing your team to work around limitations.

How We Build in HubSpot (and Beyond)

We tailor each solution using the right combination of native HubSpot features, custom logic, and third-party tools:

1. Native HubSpot Configuration

  • Product Library for managing SKUs, descriptions, and default pricing

  • Line Items to support multi-product quotes with variable quantities

  • Quote Templates for branded, mobile-responsive quote generation with built-in eSignature

  • Quotes + Payments to collect payment natively or via Stripe integration

2. Custom Logic and Workflow Automation

  • Custom Objects for packaging logic, contract terms, or bundled services

  • HubSpot Workflows to enforce approval rules, quote routing, or pricing conditions

  • Deal Stage Triggers for surfacing quote steps at the right point in the sales cycle

3. Advanced CPQ Integrations (When Needed)

  • Mobileforce: A robust quoting engine for advanced logic, product configurations, and quoting automation across enterprise sales teams.

  • DealHub: Full CPQ + CLM + Digital Sales Room platform that supports multi-tier approvals, subscription logic, and guided selling.

  • Hapily (quote•hapily): A native rules engine built directly into HubSpot for teams who want to stay fully within the ecosystem but need guardrails, bundling logic, and approval automation.

  • PandaDoc: Ideal for teams prioritizing polished proposal design and flexible document layouts with HubSpot integration.

Key Outcomes of Our CPQ Builds

Every CPQ implementation we deliver is designed to:

  • Eliminate manual steps and inconsistent quoting behavior

  • Automate logic-based quote routing and approvals

  • Align quoting and pricing rules to your revenue model

  • Provide real-time visibility into deal velocity, discount trends, and quote-to-cash efficiency

We don’t stop at "getting it working"—we build systems that scale with you as your GTM motion evolves. Whether you’re selling one-time licenses, usage-based contracts, or multi-year enterprise deals across multiple regions, we make sure your HubSpot CPQ stack supports it.
