Martech stack diagrams: how data moves through your marketing stack

Every industry wires its tools differently. Pick yours to see how leads, orders and supporters flow from first click to the dashboard, and where the handoffs usually break.

B2B tech & cybersecurity

Paid, organic and intent signals feed a Webflow site and HubSpot, which scores and syncs leads to Salesforce for sales, with all touchpoints rolled into a warehouse for pipeline attribution.

DTC e-commerce

Paid and organic traffic lands on a Shopify storefront; orders flow to fulfillment and the ERP while Klaviyo turns customer events into email and SMS, and an attribution layer ties revenue back to spend.

Financial & insurance services

Search, education content and referral partners feed quote and application flows; regulated data stays in the policy or loan system while the CRM routes leads to licensed advisors and runs compliance-reviewed nurture.

Healthcare & professional services

Local search and referrals drive visitors to the practice website, where booking and intake stay inside a HIPAA boundary with the EHR, while only de-identified signals reach marketing tools and reporting.

Local services & trades

Maps, Local Services Ads and directories drive calls and booking requests into field service software, which dispatches the job, invoices it and triggers the review and maintenance reminders that bring the next job in.

Restaurants & hospitality

Maps, social and delivery apps bring guests in; the website pushes commission-free direct orders and reservations into the POS, and guest data from every visit feeds loyalty, email and SMS that bring people back.

Nonprofits & advocacy

Campaign channels drive supporters to action pages and donation forms, all records land in one constituent CRM, and segments flow back out to email, SMS and events while a dashboard tracks donors, dollars and actions.
