Your data model should match
how your business actually works.

Custom objects, chained associations, calculated rollup properties, multi-system data models, and executive dashboards — built on architecture that scales with you. We design ERDs, document every relationship, and deliver models your team can actually maintain.

We build the data model and the reporting layer on top.
Most partners can build a dashboard. Few can architect the custom objects and associations that make the dashboard meaningful.

Data Architecture

Custom objects, chained parent-child-grandchild associations, calculated rollup properties, multi-system identifier strategies, ERD diagrams, import pipelines, and data models that map to your real business entities — not just Contacts, Companies, and Deals.

Analytics & Reporting

Deal split revenue calculators, forecasting configuration, multi-touch attribution, executive dashboards, coverage and penetration reporting, recurring revenue analytics, and whitespace identification for upsell targeting.

What We Build
Data architecture capabilities most partners can't touch.

Custom Object Architecture

Design custom objects that represent your real business entities — loans, plants, installers, assets, warranties, sites. Define properties, pipelines, and association rules from scratch.

Chained Associations & Hierarchies

Parent-child-grandchild relationships with exclusive constraints. Company → Site → Plant. Contact → Deal → Loan. Multi-level hierarchies with labeled associations and cardinality rules.

Calculated Rollup Properties

Automatically aggregate child data to parent records. SUM user counts from Plants to Sites to Companies. COUNT associated records. Calculate coverage percentages. No manual entry at the parent level.

Multi-System Data Models

When multiple external systems write to HubSpot, we design unique identifier strategies, cross-system match keys, and conflict resolution rules so data stays clean across every source.

Custom Coded Actions

Node.js functions inside HubSpot workflows that calculate deal splits, resolve owner IDs, process associations, and write structured results back to CRM properties.

Executive Dashboards

Dashboards that actually mean something because the underlying data model is right. Account coverage, pipeline by location, prospect plant lists, user growth trends, and renewal timelines.

We don't just build it — we document everything.
Every data architecture project includes comprehensive documentation so your team can maintain and extend the model.

Entity-Relationship Diagrams

Visual ERD with every object, association, cardinality rule, primary keys, foreign keys, and match keys. SVG diagrams you can embed in internal documentation.

Object & Property Specs

Full property listings per object — data types, source systems, required fields, default values, and which system owns each field when multiple sources write to HubSpot.

Unique Identifier Strategy

How each system finds and matches the correct HubSpot records. Match keys, ID storage requirements, search-vs-direct-lookup decisions, and fallback logic documented.

Pipeline & Lifecycle Maps

Deal stages, custom object pipelines, and lifecycle stage transitions mapped to your actual business flow — with which system triggers each transition.

Association & Cardinality Tables

Every relationship documented: direction, multiplicity (1:1, 1:N, N:N), constraints, association labels, and business purpose. Quick-reference "can have many" rules.

Data Management Rules

Import procedures, deduplication strategy, data quality automation, conflict resolution between sources, and ongoing maintenance guidelines.

Data architecture we've shipped in production.

Multi-System Lending Data Model — Financial Services, 51–200 employees

Complete data architecture for a lending company with three external systems (loan origination, credit decisioning, loan servicing) all writing to HubSpot simultaneously.

What We Built
4-object data model (Contact, Company, Deal, custom Loan object) with cross-system match keys, unique identifier strategy, and a "3-field-per-system" approach for overlapping data. Dual pipelines (Direct and Indirect flows) with Deal created at first underwriter approval, Loan object created only at funding. ERD with primary keys, foreign keys, match keys, and full cardinality documentation. Sensitive data handling for FICO scores and PII.

Three-Tier Hierarchy — Global Manufacturing SaaS, 200+ employees

Custom object architecture for a B2B software company that needed to track product deployment and upsell opportunities at the individual plant level across customer accounts.

What We Built
Company → Site → Plant hierarchy using 2 custom objects with exclusive parent-child constraints. Calculated rollup properties automatically aggregate user counts and coverage percentages from Plants to Sites to Companies. Contact multi-association (can belong to Company, Site, and/or Plant simultaneously). Whitespace identification for upsell — BDRs see exactly which plants aren't deployed and target them. Lifecycle stage at every tier level. Full documentation with hierarchy visualization, ERD, cardinality tables, and rollup logic.

Solar Energy Storage — 4 Custom Objects + Warranty

Complete custom data model for a solar energy storage company with complex installer, plant, asset, and alert relationships.

What We Built
4 custom objects with chained associations — Installers → Plants → Assets → Alerts — plus a 56-property Warranty object. Fuzzy matching logic achieved a 94% match rate across 2,860 systems. Data Studio connections from Google Sheets for ongoing data ingestion.

Deal Split Revenue Calculator — B2B Sales

Per-rep pipeline visibility for a company with complex deal splits and multiple sales owners per opportunity.

What We Built
Custom coded action that reads deal split associations, calculates allocated revenue per owner based on split percentages, resolves owner IDs to names via the Owners API, and writes dynamic per-owner properties. Reps see their own allocated pipeline — not the full deal amount — on the deal board.

Lead Pipeline Restructure — B2B IoT, 200+ employees

Migrating from a contact-based lead pipeline to a company-level lead pipeline for cleaner B2B sales operations.

What We Built
Complete pipeline restructure moving lead qualification from contact records to company records — with automated association logic, re-mapped reporting, and ISR dashboard visibility for the sales team.

Recurring Revenue Analytics — SaaS

SaaS-specific reporting configuration including MRR/ARR tracking, churn analysis, expansion revenue, and customer health scoring.

What We Built
Custom revenue analytics using calculated properties and custom objects to track recurring revenue metrics, deal forecasting configuration, and executive dashboards showing revenue trajectory, churn risk, and expansion opportunities.

Domain Cluster Audit — Data Quality

Custom coded action that identifies duplicate companies sharing the same base domain across an entire HubSpot portal.

What We Built
Custom coded action that extracts base domains from subdomains (vet.upenn.edu → upenn.edu), filters free email providers, searches the entire portal, and flags duplicates with a full audit log and safety status per company. Automated data governance at scale.

We think in data models, not just dashboards.

Anyone can build a chart. The hard part is designing the underlying data architecture so the chart actually means something — custom objects with the right associations, rollup properties that aggregate correctly, and identifier strategies that keep data clean across multiple source systems. That's where we live.
