Seven Teams, One Source of Truth: How Optidge Unified Paragonix Technologies on HubSpot

Seven Teams, One Source of Truth: How Optidge Unified Paragonix Technologies on HubSpot

A custom object model, a two-way NetSuite integration and programmable automation, built for a medical device company that runs organ transplant cases around the clock.

The Situation

Paragonix Technologies makes organ transport and preservation devices for heart, lung, liver, pancreas and kidney transplants, supporting cases around the clock wherever a donor organ needs to travel. They came to Optidge in August 2025 after asking ChatGPT for a HubSpot partner with medical device experience.

 

One of their executives framed the stakes:

“We’re saving lives on a daily basis. We can’t miss a case. It’s a never event for us.”

 

And they don’t miss. The entire company is built around that standard. Which is exactly why they wanted their systems to be as strong as their people. Seven teams had each built tools that worked well for them, and the company had grown past the point where those tools could talk to each other.

The Challenge

Where things stood:

  • A single piece of information passed through five people entering the same data, moving from rep email to sales operations to NetSuite to a linking database to Power BI.
  • The 24/7 case hotline ran on a phone notepad, then a hand-colored Word document passed between shifts (yellow pending, green good to go, pink drop-offs), then a homegrown case log portal. Case notifications went out by group text, sixteen people copied manually, every case.
  • Duplicate records meant the same surgeon could appear under multiple spellings, with his case history split across them.

 

As one of their leaders put it:

“Copying sixteen people on a text message every time manually isn’t a sustainable growth model.”

Our approach.

A data model for transplant logistics, not a generic CRM.

Seven custom objects: case logs, UNOS IDs, inventory sources, an inventory ledger, per-center price lists, and separate objects for surgeons and for surgical assistants and preservationists. Labeled associations connect each case to the specific clinicians and equipment that served it, so a surgeon’s full case history lives on one record.

A two-way HubSpot and NetSuite integration, proven in 48 hours.

We built the hardest piece first: a working MVP demoed to executives that ended with HubSpot creating a real sales order in NetSuite on screen. In production, it runs both directions, generating sales orders and invoices with purchase order, shipping method, shipping instructions, and memo fields mapped end to end.

Custom-coded billing that assembles itself.

Programmable workflow actions on Operations Hub Professional read component-level serial and lot data off the case, normalize every lot number to its product convention, build the correct line items for whichever device shipped, add the standard kit components each product requires, and resolve pricing against that transplant center’s negotiated price list with an audited fallback to the default catalog. Every deal carries a written record of where each price came from.

Automation that protects the data.

Multi-signal duplicate detection across logger serial numbers, session IDs, and full UNOS ID, center, device and session combinations, flagging matches with reasons and handling approved duplicates. A PAR inventory system that works as a mini accounting ledger inside the CRM, with automated consumption logging and roll-ups to each inventory source. And roughly fifty separate hospital intake forms rebuilt as unified conditional forms.

The Result

Two things had to be true at once. The coordination problem was real: seven teams, each with its own tools and priorities, and no one who owned a cross-functional system because one had never existed. But coordination alone does not model transplant logistics inside a CRM. That took custom objects, custom-coded workflow actions and an ERP integration built to the standard of an operation that cannot miss a case.

The proof is what happened next. Paragonix extends its own build now. The services team, the last group onto the system, customizes without us.

Highlights

  • Every new case enters through HubSpot, entered once and visible to every team that touches it, from hotline to invoice.
  • One custom object replaced three systems at once: the phone notepad, the hand-colored Word document and the homegrown portal.
  • Billing runs itself. Three deal pipelines build line items from serial and lot data and push sales orders and invoices into NetSuite automatically when a case completes, each one writing a permanent record of where every price came from.
  • Two clean go-lives: logistics, sales operations and field sales on April 1, 2026, then services on June 1, with finance in June and product in July. Plus a staffing report landing every Monday and Thursday at 7am and case-level margin visibility that did not exist before.

Takeaways

“From the outset, it was important to us to find someone who not only had deep technical expertise, but also understood the unique complexities of the medical device industry. Opidge brought both. Danny’s experience integrating HubSpot with NetSuite was also critical for us, and he navigated that connection seamlessly, ensuring a strong foundation across our systems.”
