Centralise Awarded HubSpot Software Industry Specialist Badge

Written by Marie Roberts | Jun 30, 2026 1:15:00 PM

It's been a good few weeks for accreditations and Centralise has been recognised by HubSpot again, as a Software Industry Specialist. Confirmation that our work goes beyond implementation and into the operational and commercial realities of how software businesses actually run.

 

Software companies have a HubSpot problem that most partners don't fully understand. The platform is powerful, but out of the box it is built for a generalised sales motion and software businesses rarely have a generalised sales motion.

They have trials and freemium funnels that need to feed into CRM. Product usage data that should inform sales and success conversations but usually sits in a silo. Subscription models that make pipeline reporting complicated. Expansion revenue that is invisible if your CRM is not set up to track it. Renewal cycles that require a completely different workflow from new business. And customer success functions that are doing the work of retention but rarely have the tooling to prove it.

Getting HubSpot to work for a software business and we mean really work, not just function, requires a partner who understands all of that before the first discovery call.

What the Badge Recognises

HubSpot's Software Industry Specialist badge is awarded to solutions partners who have demonstrated:

  • Proven delivery of industry-specific HubSpot solutions for software businesses
  • Deep familiarity with the commercial models, sales motions, and operational challenges unique to the software sector
  • The practical experience to serve software companies at the highest levels of quality and strategic insight

As with all HubSpot accreditations, this is evidenced through real client work, not coursework or exams. It requires documented delivery that demonstrates genuine sector expertise.


What This Means for Software Businesses Working With Centralise

If you are a software business; SaaS, scale-up, or established, the partner you choose to implement or optimise HubSpot with needs to understand your revenue model, not just your CRM requirements.

That means understanding MRR and ARR visibility inside HubSpot. Product-qualified lead frameworks. How to connect your product data to your commercial workflows. How to build a customer success motion that sits alongside sales without creating conflict. How expansion revenue gets tracked, attributed, and reported.

We have built these systems for software businesses. The Software Industry Specialist badge is HubSpot's recognition that we have done it to their standard.


Part of a Broader Commitment to Specialist Delivery

This badge joins our HubSpot Information Technology Industry Specialist badge, Custom Integration Accreditation, Elite Partner status and our ISO 27001:2022 certification. A set of credentials that reflects where Centralise invests: in technical depth, sector expertise, and delivery that holds up at scale.

We are HubSpot's fastest-growing Elite Partner, ranked in the top 20 of more than 6,500 partners globally. These industry badges add precision to what that means, not just that we deliver well, but that we deliver well for the industries that matter to our clients.
