About De Jong Shipping

From strategy to structure in six weeks

During a period of growth and an increase in (pre)orders, De Jong Shipping noticed a need for more control over processes, customer information and forecasting. The wish was clear: one central place to keep an overview of current and future orders, customers and commercial opportunities. During a strategic session, the bottlenecks and requirements were mapped out in detail. That formed the starting point for an intensive but efficient process: in under six weeks HubSpot was fully set up, tailored to De Jong Shipping's logistics practice and adopted internally.

Approach

From strategy to working independently with HubSpot

With a clear focus on control and ease of use, we follow a structured onboarding process. By clearly mapping out every step, we ensure a smooth implementation in which the team can get started with HubSpot right away. This way we make optimal use of the platform to create insight into orders, customers and forecasts. Below we explain how we approach this in five steps.

We start with an extensive strategic session in which we jointly map out the current processes, bottlenecks and objectives. This is the foundation for an effective HubSpot setup, tailored to the organisation's unique needs. Through this step we make sure everyone shares the same vision and that HubSpot is deployed optimally to tackle the main challenges.

Based on the outcomes of the strategy session, we configure HubSpot fully to measure. We build specific pipelines for orders and pre-orders, create dashboards that provide real-time insight and ensure customer data is stored clearly. We keep it pragmatic here: no superfluous features, but a platform that fits perfectly with day-to-day operations.

To get the most out of HubSpot, we train the team to measure. This means every user learns how they can best use the platform for their own tasks. The training sessions are hands-on and ensure the team gets started independently and with confidence. We drive adoption so that HubSpot truly becomes an indispensable tool.

During the first weeks of live use, we stay closely involved. We monitor progress, gather feedback and make adjustments where needed. This iterative process ensures that HubSpot not only works, but also grows with the organisation and fits ever better with day-to-day processes.

Once the team works independently with HubSpot and uses the platform structurally to stay in control of customers, orders and forecasts, we close out the onboarding process. HubSpot is now the central platform for steering and reporting, ready for future expansion and integrations with other systems. This way it remains a lasting investment in the company's growth.

A structured approach to better customer data, order management and forecasting

HubSpot set up effectively in a short time

For De Jong Shipping, it was all about control: control over current orders, pre-orders, customer relationships and building reliable forecasts for the future. The process started with a strategic session in which the main bottlenecks and requirements were mapped out, so that HubSpot could be set up to measure. This was followed by hands-on training, in which the team was introduced to the platform's capabilities and learned how to get the most out of HubSpot.

The team now works independently with HubSpot as the central place for all customer and order information. Thanks to smart pipelines, linked customer records and real-time dashboards, it is now possible not only to streamline processes, but also to steer proactively based on current data and future developments.

"During a period of growth, we felt the need for more control over processes and customer information. In under six weeks HubSpot was fully set up and put into use straight away, tailored to our practice and ready for future growth."
