The challenge

As a fast-growing global fintech, Rapyd's Salesforce environment had become complex and fragmented - slowing teams and limiting visibility. Moving meant rebuilding the entire CRM ecosystem: more than 8.7 million data points, 2,000+ properties, and dozens of mission-critical workflows and SLAs spanning marketing, sales, customer service, compliance, and operations - while 40 interdependent global teams kept working.

Every process had to be analyzed, redesigned, or optimized for HubSpot, on a tight timeline.

“Migrating from Salesforce to HubSpot was a huge, complex project, but Penguin managed it end-to-end. The process went smoothly, was engaging for the whole organization, and we're now live on HubSpot. Thanks to Penguin, the transition was much easier than expected.”
Yuli Moldavsky, Sr. Director, MIS & InfoSec, Rapyd

What we did

Penguin led the migration end-to-end, from discovery to go-live, working with Rapyd's MIS, marketing, sales, service, and operations teams. Over six months, Penguin interviewed every department, mapped dependencies, and built the migration blueprint: what to migrate as is, what to rebuild for efficiency, and what to reimagine in HubSpot.

Complex SLAs, automation frameworks, and operational processes were rebuilt natively - matching Salesforce functionality and improving on it. Twenty-four process guides, weekly steering meetings, testing cycles, and milestone reviews kept adoption and data integrity on track. Every department was trained and operational at go-live, and Penguin has run ongoing support and optimization since - including on-site support.
