This is a CRM & a Marketing - Platform connected to your website

Custom built, industry solutions from smaller companies are fine. But platforms like Salesforce and HubSpot are designed so that Partners (like Convergence), can upload industry templates.

We can tailor the system for your unique needs without having to go through the software development team, system architect, and product teams.

HubSpot's marketing platform keeps you from bolting multiple, disconnected systems to your CRM.

Built on HubSpot - this provides more flexibility than "point solutions"
