Validation and Testing: Ensuring Data Accuracy Between Encompass and HubSpot

When financial institutions integrate Encompass LOS with HubSpot CRM, success depends on one critical factor — data accuracy. Even the most advanced automation or analytics system fails if borrower information doesn’t sync properly across platforms.

That’s why validation and testing are essential.

At Proven ROI, we treat integration testing as more than a technical step — it’s the foundation of trust, compliance, and performance. Our validation framework ensures that every borrower field, loan milestone, and update in Encompass is accurately reflected in HubSpot — without loss, duplication, or distortion.

When data is accurate, automation works. When automation works, performance becomes measurable.

Why Validation and Testing Matter

In lending, a single data mismatch can create cascading issues across departments. A borrower’s loan stage recorded incorrectly, a missing co-borrower detail, or a delayed status update can all lead to poor borrower communication and compliance risk.

Validation and testing eliminate those risks by confirming that every integration point functions as intended — every time.

Core Objectives of Integration Validation

  • Verify accurate synchronization between HubSpot and Encompass
  • Detect and resolve mapping or formatting errors
  • Confirm real-time updates occur without latency or duplication
  • Ensure data integrity across multiple loans and borrowers
  • Maintain compliance and audit readiness

Without testing, integrations rely on assumption. Proven ROI replaces assumption with certainty.

The Proven ROI Validation Framework

Our testing process is comprehensive, structured, and results-oriented. We validate not just technical connections, but business performance outcomes — ensuring your integration delivers both accuracy and ROI.

Step 1: Data Mapping Review

Before testing begins, our team verifies that every field in Encompass aligns with its corresponding property in HubSpot. We confirm correct field types, naming conventions, and data structures to prevent synchronization conflicts.

Step 2: Test Case Development

We create custom test cases that simulate real-world loan workflows — from borrower application to closing. This includes multiple borrower scenarios, loan types, and processing paths to ensure coverage across your lending operation.

Step 3: Synchronization Testing

Our team tests two-way synchronization by submitting controlled data changes in Encompass and confirming they appear accurately in HubSpot, and vice versa.

  • Borrower contact updates
  • Loan stage transitions
  • Documentation status changes
  • Assigned loan officer updates

Step 4: Automation Verification

We validate that workflow triggers, notifications, and task automations in HubSpot respond correctly to Encompass updates. This ensures communication and reporting automations function flawlessly in live environments.

Step 5: Exception and Error Testing

We intentionally test for errors — incorrect data formats, missing fields, API timeouts — to verify that our integration handles them gracefully. Proven ROI applications include error logging and auto-recovery functions for complete reliability.

Step 6: Reporting Validation

Finally, we confirm that all validated data appears accurately in dashboards and reports. Leadership should see the same information — whether they’re in HubSpot, Encompass, or Proven ROI’s integrated analytics portal.

What We Validate

Proven ROI tests and validates every element that affects borrower communication, loan progress, and performance visibility.

1. Borrower and Co-Borrower Data

  • Name, contact information, and relationship structure
  • Co-borrower linking and dependent fields
  • Borrower communication preferences

2. Loan-Level Data

  • Loan ID, amount, type, and rate
  • Loan stage, milestone dates, and assigned officers
  • Conditional logic for different loan programs

3. Workflow and Automation Accuracy

  • Automatic borrower notifications at key loan milestones
  • Task creation for loan officers and processors
  • Correct timing and frequency of automated communications

4. Marketing Attribution

  • Lead source, campaign tracking, and loan-to-marketing linkages
  • ROI visibility for every funded loan

By validating every layer of data, Proven ROI ensures your systems operate with precision and integrity.

Ensuring Accuracy Across Multiple Loans and Borrowers

In multi-loan or joint-borrower environments, data synchronization becomes exponentially more complex. Proven ROI’s validation tools identify and correct potential issues like:

  • Duplicate borrower records
  • Overwritten co-borrower data
  • Cross-loan status confusion
  • Transaction latency between systems

We test these high-complexity scenarios under live conditions to guarantee performance even at enterprise scale.

Testing Tools and Methodologies

Proven ROI employs a hybrid approach that combines automation with human oversight.

Automated Testing

We use custom-built scripts to simulate thousands of synchronization events between HubSpot and Encompass. This ensures that every possible data path has been verified for speed, accuracy, and resilience.

Manual Validation

Human testers cross-check critical borrower data, milestone transitions, and workflow triggers to ensure system behavior matches real-world expectations.

Continuous Monitoring

Once the integration goes live, Proven ROI’s monitoring layer continuously validates data integrity in real time — alerting teams to potential discrepancies before they impact operations.

Compliance and Security Validation

Accuracy alone isn’t enough; compliance must be built into the process. Proven ROI ensures that every validation and testing cycle adheres to regulatory and data privacy standards.

Security and Compliance Features

  • Full encryption of test data in transit and at rest
  • Role-based permissions for testers and administrators
  • Audit logs for every synchronization and validation event
  • Controlled test environments that mirror production systems

This framework ensures lenders remain fully compliant with data protection requirements while achieving flawless integration performance.
