ExplorEarth worked with Rock Solid Knowledge to enhance the flow of membership data between Umbraco and HubSpot. The new integration provides real time visibility of member activity and supports consistent, compliant data management. The solution creates a strong foundation for future engagement and growth.

Background

ExplorEarth operates a digital membership platform focused on expedition and small ship adventure travel. As the platform continued to grow, the team wanted to strengthen how member registration data and profile information flowed from their Umbraco website into HubSpot.

The objective was to ensure that member activity could be reflected clearly and consistently within the CRM, supporting better insight, communication and long term engagement. ExplorEarth also wanted to establish a clear and repeatable approach to managing user data across both systems to support internal data governance standards.

Solution

Rock Solid Knowledge designed and delivered a modern integration between Umbraco and HubSpot that connects membership activity in real time. The solution ensures that each new registration created on the website is immediately available within HubSpot, giving the ExplorEarth team accurate and up to date visibility of its growing membership base.

Alongside this, a structured process for managing and removing user data across both platforms was introduced. The integration was built with maintainability in mind, allowing ExplorEarth to evolve its membership offering and CRM usage without disruption. The project was delivered collaboratively and completed within ten working days.

"I was incredibly impressed with RSK's professionalism and their quick delivery of a high-quality solution. They also provided guidance on best practices to help us evolve the solution in the future. I look forward to working with them again soon."

- Jos Dewing, CEO, ExplorEarth

Impact

The new integration provides ExplorEarth with a dependable foundation for managing member relationships. Information is now consistent across systems, which supports clearer reporting and more informed communication.

The platform is well prepared for future development, including deeper segmentation and more personalised engagement. The integration has also strengthened ExplorEarth’s data management approach, giving the team confidence that user information is handled in a structured and compliant way.
