The Client

 
Capacity Interactive is a digital marketing consulting firm that partners with leading arts and cultural organizations to engage audiences, build communities, and market smarter. Practice areas include digital advertising, website analytics, search engine marketing and search engine optimization, and content creation.

The Problem

  • Capacity Interactive was using disconnected applications to manage their financial forecasting data.
  • The information was spread across spreadsheets, documents, and another cloud-based data management system, requiring manual manipulation, analysis, reporting, and financial forecasting and capacity planning.
  • Capacity Interactive needed a solution to connect their systems and automate their reporting to increase efficiency and save time and money.

The Solution

  • The project aimed to turn HubSpot into a single source of truth for Capacity Interactive's financial data management, unloading a significant burden from the Head of Finance.
  • Automation was created to sort deals meeting particular stage criteria and export them to two different locations in the external financial data management system, providing real-time data for accurate forecasting.
  • Custom-coded actions were implemented to address communication barriers between HubSpot and the external system, ensuring a time and cost-effective solution.
  • Custom forms and fields were created to automate record management and save time for Sales Reps.

The Outcome

As a result of these solutions, the Head of Finance of Capacity Interactive was able to save an estimated one hour a day of data manipulation and could reinvest that time into more meaningful work that is better aligned with their talents and skills. Let’s do some fun math with some easy numbers to bring this improvement perspective.

If the Head of Finance were to be paid a $100,000 salary based on an average of a 38-hour work week, that would come to an hourly wage of $50 an hour. Over the course of just one year, that would result in 260 hours and $13,000 of company resources that were previously lost to unnecessary data management.*

*Disclaimer: This is fun “tax-exempt” math. We are assuming most of us don’t think taxes are fun. But if you’re a potential client who makes a living from taxes or thinks taxes are the bee’s knees, we honor and respect you as well.

Imagine the strides this highly valued employee will make towards real movement for the business after conquering this obstacle!

What the client is saying...

HOLLEY KINNEY | CAPACITY INTERACTIVE

"Our team engaged Aptitude 8 for a custom API integration between HubSpot and Workday Adaptive. We had a truly excellent experience from the sales call to the final wrap up. Matt and Niko did an exceptional job managing what turned out to be a far more complex project than any of us expected. Even when we ran into roadblocks they were able to find solutions to the issues. In spite of the complexity, the project still finished on time! We would work with Matt and Niko again in a heartbeat. We give them and Aptitude 8 our full recommendation without reservation."
