Managing customer support efficiently demands a system that seamlessly connects data from multiple sources. For TTI Floor Care North America, operating with a vast product catalog, multiple service tools, and a diverse customer base made support especially complex.
With over 45,000 products in their Product Information Management (PIM) system and various communication channels, agents had to switch between systems to resolve inquiries.
They needed a solution to consolidate data, streamline workflows, and empower their team to deliver faster, more effective service, so Origin 63 built a custom HubSpot–PIM integration to make it possible.
For TTI Floor Care North America, the primary challenge was fragmentation. Product details, warranty information, customer interactions, and service tickets were scattered across multiple systems, including their PIM and a legacy CRM. This disjointed setup led to:
Support agents often switched between systems to look up product specifications, warranty details, and customer history. This increased response times and sometimes led to incomplete or inaccurate resolutions.
Without synchronization between systems, frequent mismatches in product details and warranty information eroded customer trust and caused unnecessary back-and-forth communication.
The PIM housed an extensive library of over 45,000 products. Finding specific information during support interactions was time-consuming, as agents could not filter or look up data directly within tickets.
Customer inquiries came through various channels—chat, email, and phone—but these interactions weren’t linked to product or support data. Agents lacked the full context needed to resolve issues effectively.
The outdated CRM couldn’t keep up with TTI’s evolving needs. It lacked the flexibility to integrate with modern tools, leaving the support team unable to streamline workflows or scale operations.
The fragmented data and inefficient workflows led to longer ticket resolution times, decreased agent productivity, and frustrated customers. Without a unified system, TTI struggled to analyze support trends or make informed decisions to improve service.
Recognizing this approach was unsustainable, they sought a comprehensive solution to centralize data, reduce inefficiencies, and enhance the customer experience.
To tackle TTI Floor Care’s challenges, Origin 63 built a custom multi-object, bidirectional integration to connect their Product Information Management (PIM) system with HubSpot.
Here’s how it worked:
At the heart of the solution was a seamless integration that pulled product and order information directly into HubSpot tickets.
Instead of juggling multiple systems, support agents could now directly see all relevant product details (specifications, warranties) and order statuses (payments, shipping) in the ticket view.
This was made possible using HubSpot’s custom card feature, which dynamically displayed this information whenever an agent opened a ticket.
Product data from the PIM system and order data from Shopify were synchronized in real-time with HubSpot. This meant that if a product specification was updated in the PIM system, it automatically appeared in HubSpot.
Similarly, updates made by agents in HubSpot (like feedback on product issues) were sent back to the PIM, creating a continuous loop of accurate information.
This eliminated the need for agents to switch between systems, saving time and ensuring that every ticket was handled with up-to-date information.
Thanks to tailored workflows in HubSpot, managing tickets became much faster and more organized. With over 45,000 products in TTI’s PIM library, searching for the right product could have been overwhelming.
The solution introduced a lookup feature within HubSpot tickets. Agents could enter a product ID or name, and the system would automatically pull all related details, such as warranty status and specifications.
When agents selected a product, additional fields like purchase date, order number, and related specifications were automatically filled in. This reduced manual entry errors and ensured consistency across all tickets.
With these changes, TTI’s team could focus on solving customer issues rather than hunting for information, significantly reducing resolution times.
For TTI Floor Care, customer inquiries were received through multiple channels, including chat, email, and phone. To simplify this, all interactions were centralized within HubSpot.
Historical calls and messages from Dialpad were synced into HubSpot, giving TTI’s agents a complete view of past conversations directly within tickets. This context helped them personalize responses and resolve issues more effectively.
Emails and chats were also brought into HubSpot’s inbox, allowing the team to manage all inquiries in one place. By linking these messages to tickets and product data, TTI’s agents could resolve issues without switching between tools.
Handling warranty claims was one of the most time-consuming tasks for the team. The custom integration introduced a dedicated claims management tool within HubSpot.
A new custom object was created in HubSpot to manage warranty claims. This object tracked claim details in one place, such as product model, purchase date, and claim status.
Claims-related updates flowed between HubSpot and the PIM system. For instance, if an agent marked a claim as resolved in HubSpot, the PIM system automatically reflected this update.
With everything in one system, agents could track claims from start to finish without confusion or delays.
The integration was designed to ensure the system was user-friendly, with the agents’ workflows in mind. Agents could tailor their ticket views to display only the information they needed most, such as high-priority tickets or unresolved claims.
Hands-on training sessions helped the support team quickly familiarize themselves with the new system. They learned how to use the lookup tools, navigate custom cards, and manage tickets more efficiently.
Focusing on usability, the solution boosted productivity and reduced the stress of managing a complex support system.
The custom integration transformed TTI Floor Care North America’s customer support operations, addressing their most significant pain points and enabling their team to work more efficiently. Here’s how it made a tangible difference:
With product data accessible directly within HubSpot tickets, TTI’s agents no longer wasted time switching between systems. The product lookup tool reduced the time spent searching for product details by over 50%.
Automated data population ensured tickets were fully prepared when they reached an agent’s queue, allowing the team to resolve issues faster. Workflow automation also routed tickets to the right team immediately, cutting down response times.
As a result, resolution times dropped significantly, letting TTI handle more tickets without needing additional staff.
Centralizing all customer communication channels in HubSpot gave agents a complete view of each customer’s journey.
Dialpad integration allowed agents to see past call and message history in seconds, ensuring they could personalize their responses. Unified chat, email, and ticket management in HubSpot eliminated the chaos of juggling multiple tools.
Customers received faster, more personalized support, leading to fewer follow-ups and more first-contact resolutions.
The bidirectional sync between HubSpot and TTI’s PIM system ensured that product specifications, warranty terms, and order statuses were always up to date.
Agents had the confidence to provide accurate information without double-checking across systems. Any updates made in HubSpot—such as feedback or claim resolutions—were reflected back in the PIM system, keeping all departments aligned.
Data inconsistencies were virtually eliminated, reducing customer frustration and strengthening trust in TTI’s support team.
Managing warranty claims, previously a complicated and time-consuming process, became straightforward with the new system.
The custom claims object in HubSpot gave agents a clear view of each claim’s status, history, and required actions. Automated claim updates between HubSpot and the PIM system streamlined the resolution process.
Warranty claims were processed faster, improving customer satisfaction and giving agents time for other tasks.
The solution made their work easier and more rewarding by designing the system around the agents’ needs.
Customizable views let agents focus on what matters most, like high-priority tickets or unresolved claims. Hands-on training ensured the team was comfortable and confident using the new tools.
Agent productivity increased, and team morale improved as they spent less time on repetitive tasks and more time helping customers.
The combination of faster responses, personalized communication, and accurate information resulted in a noticeable boost in customer satisfaction:
Follow-up surveys showed a 25% increase in positive feedback, with customers praising the clarity and speed of support. First-contact resolution rates rose by 30%, reducing the need for multiple interactions to solve a single issue.
TTI Floor Care met and exceeded customer expectations, reinforcing its reputation for excellent service.
TTI Floor Care North America transformed its customer support operations by integrating its Product Information Management (PIM) system with HubSpot.
What was once a fragmented, inefficient setup became a cohesive platform that empowered their team to resolve issues faster, provide accurate information, and deliver a better customer experience.
This case demonstrates how the right combination of integration and automation can solve even the most complex support challenges. If your team struggles with slow response times, scattered data, or disconnected tools, now is the time to act.
