The Client

Airwayz is revolutionizing traffic management of the lower airspace, paving the way for scalable multi-fleet drone operations with its dynamic USSP/UTM technology. Their fully autonomous system ensures safe and efficient drone management in rapidly changing urban and industrial environments.

 

The Problem

As Airwayz expanded its operations, Zoho’s limitations became increasingly evident, hindering both marketing and sales efforts. The team faced several challenges:

  • Lack of Seamless Integration: Airwayz required a unified system to align marketing, sales, and customer management, but Zoho’s fragmented structure led to inefficiencies.
  • Limited Marketing Automation: Essential features like advanced email workflows, lead nurturing, and A/B testing were either unavailable or required complex workarounds.
  • Data Visibility Issues: Generating meaningful insights and tracking campaign performance in real-time was difficult, making data-driven decision-making a challenge.
  • Scalability Concerns: As Airwayz grew, Zoho’s rigid system required extensive customization, adding to costs and slowing down operations.

These roadblocks made it clear that Airwayz needed a more intuitive and scalable solution to support their rapid growth.

 

The Solution

To overcome these challenges, Airwayz partnered with SAGE to migrate from Zoho to HubSpot, streamlining their marketing and sales processes. SAGE executed a structured and efficient migration plan tailored to Airwayz’s unique needs:

  • Seamless Integration: HubSpot’s all-in-one CRM consolidated marketing and sales, into a single, easy-to-use platform.
  • Enhanced Automation: Airwayz gained access to advanced automation tools, enabling personalized lead nurturing, A/B testing, and data-driven campaign optimization.
  • Real-Time Analytics & Insights: Custom dashboards provided clear visibility into performance metrics, allowing for agile decision-making.
  • Scalability & Cost Efficiency: HubSpot’s flexible pricing and scalability ensured Airwayz could grow without incurring hidden costs or requiring extensive custom development.
  • Smooth Transition with Expert Support: SAGE’s proven migration process minimized downtime, ensuring a hassle-free switch and immediate usability.

By making the transition, Airwayz unlocked new efficiencies, improved collaboration, and set the foundation for future growth.

 

The Outcome

With HubSpot in place, Airwayz experienced significant improvements in operations, efficiency, and business growth:

Full Visibility & Control – Real-time tracking of marketing and sales efforts led to data-driven decision-making and optimized strategies.
Stronger Marketing & Sales Alignment – A unified CRM improved collaboration between teams, enhancing lead management and customer interactions.
Faster & More Effective Campaign Execution – Intuitive tools and automation features enabled quicker campaign launches and performance improvements.
Cost Savings & Increased Productivity – Eliminating Zoho’s inefficiencies reduced software costs and allowed the team to focus on high-value tasks.
Ongoing Support & Optimization – With SAGE’s continuous guidance, Airwayz continues to refine its use of HubSpot, maximizing ROI.

By transitioning to HubSpot, Airwayz not only solved its operational bottlenecks but also positioned itself for scalable and sustainable growth.
