Choosing a Middleware Tool
With Geear's Zero Footprint Solution for data integration, we recommend using a middleware platform to perform an Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) process. Essentially, this tool extracts data from daily .csv files you place on your SFTP, transforms that data slightly, then loads it into HubSpot.
Hightouch and Skyvia are two popular middleware platforms that we recommend to our clients. They differ slightly, so here's what you need to know when choosing one over the other.

Hightouch Overview
Platform Description
Hightouch is a Reverse ETL platform that synchronizes data from your data warehouse to operational business tools. Unlike traditional ETL, it moves the "single source of truth" out of the warehouse, automating data delivery to sales, marketing, and support teams. It acts as a data activation layer, pushing defined data models (e.g., customer segments) to various SaaS applications like Salesforce, HubSpot, and Google Ads. This ensures consistent, up-to-date data for all teams within their everyday tools, leading to operational efficiency and improved personalization.
