An equipment maker sells a bottler one packaging line. Partway through the term, the bottler calls back. Two more lines are going in, and they want remote monitoring on all three.
With Quotivity's new HubSpot Contracts Support, that call becomes a HubSpot change quote that opens pre-filled from the customer's contract. The contract exists because the first Quotivity quote was accepted. Below is one contract followed from the sale to the renewal, and the part worth watching is at the end: the renewal comes out right because the first quote did.
A quote describes one transaction on one deal. A customer's commitment spans many deals: the original sale, the add-ons, the reductions and the renewals. Until now, an accepted Quotivity quote didn't create a HubSpot contract, so people held all of that together themselves.
When a customer changed something mid-term, the rep worked out what they currently had by digging through old quotes. Which items were still active? What was the prorated charge for the rest of the term? At renewal, someone rebuilt the recurring part from the original quote plus every change since, and had to remember to leave the one-time charges out. HubSpot's contract-based revenue reports, like the MRR waterfall and net new MRR, are built from contracts, so quotes that never became contracts had nothing to feed them.
Each of those steps is a small chance to get it wrong, and the mistake tends to surface months later, on an invoice or a renewal that doesn't match.
HubSpot Contracts Support creates a HubSpot contract when a Quotivity quote is accepted. It's written to HubSpot's own contract object, the record HubSpot's revenue reports read from, so it's native in the plain sense: the data sits on HubSpot's record. Reps start change quotes and renewal quotes from that contract, and each opens pre-filled with what the contract holds. The HubSpot Contracts Support page has the full list of what it does.
This is an illustrative example. Halvorsen Packaging Systems, the bottler, Marcus and every figure below are made up to show the mechanics. None of them is a customer.
Halvorsen builds automated case packers and palletizers. Every installation includes a remote monitoring subscription at $6,000 per line per year, plus a one-time commissioning fee. The bottler accepts a quote for one line, with monitoring as a recurring item and commissioning as one-time.
Quotivity creates the HubSpot contract at acceptance. It holds both line items, the billing contact and company, and the effective date. It's linked to the quote, and a "Contract created" event appears on the deal timeline. Nobody at Halvorsen did anything extra to get it.
When the bottler calls, Marcus opens the contract in HubSpot and clicks Create change quote on the Quotivity card. He sets the effective date to the day the new lines go live and turns proration on.
The quote opens with everything on the contract, including any bundle structure, at the contract's prices and discounts. He changes monitoring from 1 to 3. The builder shows the change inline with the old quantity struck through, and a panel shows the prorated adjustment as a labeled estimate. The commissioning fee sits on the quote too, visible and locked. One-time items can't be edited on a change quote, same as in HubSpot.
The bottler accepts. Quotivity checks that the contract hasn't changed since Marcus built the quote, then applies the change in one step. HubSpot calculates the final prorated amounts and splits the monitoring line into dated segments. In this example, that's $666.67 for the period at one line and $16,000.00 for the rest of the term at three.
Those figures are illustrative. Quotivity's estimate uses HubSpot's calculation, and HubSpot's numbers after acceptance are the ones that stand.
Ahead of the end date, a HubSpot workflow runs Quotivity's Create Renewal Quote action. It creates a renewal deal in Halvorsen's renewal pipeline, with a quote holding one item: the monitoring subscription, at three lines.
The commissioning fee doesn't come back. The first quote said it was one-time, the contract kept it that way, and renewal quotes carry recurring items only. The quantity is three because the change quote wrote three into the contract. Nobody reconstructed anything.
When the bottler accepts, Quotivity creates a new contract that starts the day the old one ends, linked to it as the renewal.
That's the reason to care about this at the quote. The renewal got everything it knew from the contract, and the contract got everything it knew from the quotes. Had the first quote folded commissioning into the subscription line, the renewal quote would have carried it into next year.
If your customers buy once and nothing recurs (no service agreement, no monitoring, no subscription, no renewal), a HubSpot contract is a record nobody will open. Skip it.
And when HubSpot's own quotes already cover your products and your reps quote there, HubSpot's contract flow already does this for you. You don't need Quotivity for contracts.

Not sure how Quotivity works yet? Bring one customer who changed something mid-term, and we'll build the change quote from their contract.
Yes. Quotivity customers without Revenue Hub can still take advantage of Contracts (despite what HubSpot's docs say).
Not on a change quote. Change quotes update recurring line items, in HubSpot's own flow and in Quotivity's. For extra one-time scope, add a new line item.
It's a revenue record, not the signed agreement. It tracks the products a customer committed to and how that commitment changes over time. Your MSA and CLM tool aren't affected, and buyers can't see the contract record.

Calculated Pricing supports FUNCTIONS starting today. Quote rules can set a line item property with a formula too. Here's how to build both.
