Our Recommended Tech Stack

The Best Tools For Every Job

At Hake, we pride ourselves on using the best tools for each component of our business. By selecting top-tier platforms that excel in their specific areas, we ensure smooth workflows, clear communication, and top-notch service for our clients. In this blog, we’ll walk you through the tech stack that powers Hake Digital and why we believe it’s second to none.

HubSpot: The Ultimate CRM

We use HubSpot as our all-in-one CRM for sales, marketing, and customer service. Its versatility and depth make it a cornerstone of our operations.

Why HubSpot?

• Comprehensive CRM tools for managing leads, deals, and contacts.
• Powerful marketing automation to streamline campaigns.
• Centralised platform for service requests, ensuring clients always feel supported.
• Built-in performance tracking and analytics, offering actionable insights tied to specific campaigns, deals, and contacts.

HubSpot does more than manage data—it provides clarity, helping us focus on what matters most: delivering results. If you’re considering HubSpot for your business, we’d love to help you get set up and make the most of it.

Zoom: Best-in-Class Video Conferencing

When it comes to video calls, Zoom is our platform of choice. Whether we’re hosting a team meeting or presenting to clients, it delivers every time.

Why Zoom?

• Reliable, high-quality video and audio for seamless communication.
• Easy-to-use interface that ensures hassle-free setup.
• Advanced features like screen sharing, virtual backgrounds, and meeting recordings.

Zoom helps us stay in sync as a remote team, making it easy to catch up with each other and connect with clients, wherever we’re working from.

Slack: Instant, Effective Internal Communication

For quick updates and team discussions, we rely on Slack. It’s our virtual office, fostering collaboration and keeping everyone on the same page.

Why Slack?

• Organised conversations through channels and threads.
• Seamless integration with tools like Google Drive and ClickUp.
• Instant notifications to ensure nothing slips through the cracks.

Slack streamlines our communication, making internal collaboration efficient and enjoyable.

ClickUp: Streamlined Project Management

To manage tasks, deadlines, and deliverables, we turn to ClickUp. Its flexibility and robust feature set make it the ideal project management tool for our team.

Why ClickUp?

• Customisable views that adapt to our needs.
• Clear task assignments and due dates to keep projects on track.
• Built-in time tracking and reporting for greater transparency.

ClickUp helps us stay organised and focused, ensuring every project runs smoothly from start to finish.

Google Drive: Secure, Accessible Document Sharing

For storing and sharing documents, we use Google Drive. It’s a simple yet powerful tool that keeps our files safe and accessible.

Why Google Drive?

• Cloud-based storage, ensuring access from anywhere.
• Real-time collaboration on documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.
• Robust security and sharing controls for peace of mind.

Google Drive is our go-to for document management, enabling effortless collaboration.

A Cohesive System That Works

While some businesses aim for a single all-in-one platform, we believe in using the best tool for each specific need. By integrating these tools seamlessly, we create a powerful, cohesive system tailored to our workflow. For example, we rely on HubSpot for performance tracking and analytics, as it offers more relevant and actionable insights than standalone tools like Hootsuite or Google Analytics.

A summary of our current tech stack:

• HubSpot for CRM, sales, marketing, and customer service.
• Zoom for video calls and client meetings.
• Slack for quick internal communication.
• ClickUp for project management and task tracking.
• Google Drive for secure document storage and sharing.

This combination ensures we use the best tools for each part of our business, keeping everything running smoothly.
