Ability to create product groups/bundles/kits

It would be great if there was a way to create a Product Group that consists of multiple other products. So if you have a group of products that typically is sold together but could also be separate, the group would add in all of products in at once. It just speeds up the process of adding products to a deal since you don't have to add them all in one at a time and ensure that a product isn't missed.

My company has 3 different departments that provide different services to our clients. Each department has a unique set of product line items listed in HubSpot that make up the total deal amount.

 

I need a way to associate each line item to each different department in an automated fashion. The simplest way would be to add a similar setting as the SKU, but at the department level so they do not have to be unique and can be directly associated with line items. 

 

Or, if I could create a workflow that would update the "Product Line Item Department" based on the product line items selected.

 

Ex.

Tax Line item 1 - Tax Department

Tax Line item 2 - Tax Department

Tax Line item 3 - Tax Department

Accounting Line Item 1 - Accounting Department

 

This would allow for much simpler and more effective reporting at the department level.

Following onto that - I'd this specifically in the reporting functionality - so you can report on the performance of individual products OR products grouped together in various ways.

Glad I found this topic - we too could do with this feature, @hubspot do we know if this in on the cards yet?

Can we get a solid timeline for this feature?  This is a critical functional requirement for our go forward plans.  Thank you

+1 on this as well. We have a complex structure of products and while people can search, a hierarchical way of managing this would be great.

Any update on this @ethankopit?

Hey folks - my name is Ethan and I'm the product manager for the Products and Line Items team. I just wanted to let you know that my previous update still stands. This feature is not on our roadmap for this quarter, but it is something we'd like to build. We're working on several other features (e.g. allowing you to add Line Items to Deals via Workflows, expanding the number of supported decimals in Product/Line Item properties) this quarter and we needed to make some hard decisions about what to prioritize.

 

As a sidenote, I'll be updating the top Ideas associated with Products and Line Items ~once per quarter going forward. I will include (1) whether or not a feature is on the roadmap for that quarter or not and (2) what our rollout plan for that feature is (e.g. will there be a beta or not). If you have feedback about additional information I could include in these updates, drop a note here. If I see a theme, I'll adjust my updates to address that.

 

I won't be doing this for every idea, but most ideas above 25 kudos will get this treatment.

Hi Ethan.
This feature will be a true time saver for any company that sells products and services in packages/bundles.

We do that and every time we make a quote, we need to start from scratch.

I was surprised that this was not an option. I hope you will prioritize this for your future developments.

Cheers, Rasmus

Would love this feature. Our sales team wants to build quotes showing the bundle with a single price (which I could add as a separate product), but also wants to list out the line items automatically.

It looks like folks have needed this for at least a couple of years.  Where are we at with this??  Essentially every business has a 'package' or 'assembly' of services or whole goods with a Bill of Materials that often has consituent parts or services sold a la carte.   It is really important to be able to track what is happening with different parts and services for basically every aspect of a business.  Sales and Marketing folks need to know where and what to upsell, and what marketing initiatives they need to consider.  Service folks need to know what components of a particular package needs to be updated in whatever applications they use.  Administration needs it to see what volume is being sold where and to who, so that they forcast and analyze.  This is a really important function, I hope you guys are on top of addressing this.

+1 Hello @ethankopit - any update? About Q3? I just had a meeting with an Enterprise account and that was/is a requirement for them. Thanks. Greg

Hey folks - Ethan here, product manager for the Product Library. Apologies for the missed quarter of updates. I want to let you know that this feature is not on our roadmap for this quarter (Q3, 2022). We absolutely want to expand the flexibility of what you can store in the Product Library but we're working on several other features this quarter and we needed to make some hard decisions about what to prioritize.

I won't be doing this for every idea, but most ideas above 100 kudos will get this treatment. Previously, I had been trying to do it for ideas greater than 25 upvotes, but unfortunately the volume is too high to be practical.

This would be a very helpful feature for our business. When do you anticipate this moving up the queue? Appears the first request for this feature was back in 2018!?!?

Hi @ethankopit , is there any update about this feature? any possibility that it can be included in the upcoming roadmap? thanks

When is the ability to create product bundles going to be a reality?  It's interesting that we - as Hubspot users cannot create this for our products -  but you have an article discussing the benefits of bundles and offer bundles for your products.....

I already gave my upvote and commented, but I continue to bang my head against this. We have a product taxonomy with no less than 7 segments and this resolves to around 500 individual products: while you can search, the strong segmentation means that without the ability to build the hierarchy of segments, there isn't a way to really do this in HubSpot. 😞

 

As a result, this will be done outside of HubSpot (in Excel) and the sales manager will have to cut-and-paste to get the SKU into HubSpot. Double-plus ungood!
