How HubSpot and SAP records line up
HubSpot and SAP both store the customer's email address. askotter lowercases and trims it on both sides before matching, so the same person shows up as one customer across the two tools.
HubSpot and SAP both keep a company record. The match runs on the company's web domain first and falls back to a cleaned company name.
Shared between the two: the customer email address and the company or account.
What root cause analysis uses from each
Root cause analysis needs timestamps precise enough to put events in order.
From HubSpot that means deal stage history and time spent in each stage. From SAP it means delivery dates, credit blocks and cancellations.
What each tool sees on its ownShow less
HubSpot on its own
HubSpot sees the contact and the deal. It cannot see money collected outside it, or ad spend on platforms it is not connected to.
Timing. HubSpot updates contact and deal properties as they change, and keeps the original source and first page seen on each contact.
Access. A HubSpot private app or OAuth connection with read-only CRM scopes.
SAP on its own
SAP holds the booked order, the invoice and the customer master. It has no record of the marketing that produced the order.
Timing. SAP data usually reaches outside systems in scheduled extracts, so it runs as current as the extract schedule your ERP team sets.
Access. Read-only OData services or scheduled exports set up with your ERP team.
