Orbee Alternative for Car Dealerships

Marketing data is most valuable where the sales team works. LeadLocate keeps the source, the conversation and the deal on one customer record, and adds exclusive local leads.

Orbee is an automotive marketing data company. Its public positioning centers on a customer data platform for dealerships and dealer groups: bringing together data from the website, the CRM and other store systems, then using it for marketing attribution, analytics and campaign planning. Marketing directors at larger groups are its most visible audience, particularly stores that want one place to see how digital spend relates to showroom results.

That approach suits a group with a marketing team that already runs several vendors and wants a data layer to make sense of them. The platform organizes the data, and the store's existing CRM, agencies and sales team act on it.

Products, packaging and pricing change over time. Confirm current scope, pricing and terms with Orbee directly, and use this page as a list of questions to bring to that conversation.

When a marketing director or GM calls us about replacing a data platform, the reasons are usually concrete.

The data lives one step away from the work. A customer data platform can explain what happened, but the reps who need to act work in a different screen. Stores want the insight on the same record the salesperson opens.

Stitching takes effort. Every source that feeds a data layer is another connection to maintain, and every mismatch between systems becomes a reconciliation job. Stores want fewer systems, so there is less to stitch.

Analysis without new supply. Understanding the funnel is valuable, and a store that wants more units also needs more shoppers raising their hands. Stores want exclusive leads arriving in the same system that measures them.

Cost and terms. A separate data subscription on top of a CRM, a website and an agency adds up. Stores want a published price and month to month terms.

One customer record that does the work. The Customer Profile is one shared buyer record, including the co-buyer, with personal information encrypted. Every call with its recording and transcript, every text, MMS, email and voicemail sits on one communications timeline, and up to five vehicles of interest plus trade in lines live on the same lead.

Source on every lead from the first second. Leads from your zone campaigns, website forms, tracking numbers and every feed in the Lead Feeds Manager carry their source into the CRM. The activity, company and management reports show performance by source, by salesperson and by store, right beside the deals those leads became.

Website visitor analytics in the CRM. Overview, realtime, sessions, geo, devices, sources, search, top pages, session detail and performance for the sites you run on the platform, in the same login as the leads.

Exclusive leads to feed the funnel. In Leads Manager your store draws its zone, reviews zip stats and a market scan, picks the campaign type, writes the prescreening questions and sets Custom Offers. Our team builds and runs the campaigns from those selections on the webXintel Ads Network, included with every plan. Every lead in your zone is delivered to you and only you and backed by a replacement review.

Features, packaging and pricing change. Confirm anything that drives your decision with each vendor directly before you sign.

Marketing attribution usually stops at the lead. The harder question, and the one a dealer principal actually asks, is which source produced the car that went out the door last Saturday. Answering it takes the source, the conversation and the deal in one place.

In LeadLocate the source is stamped on the lead when it arrives. Tracking numbers can be assigned per channel, so a call from a specific campaign is attributed before the rep says hello. Website forms connect to your account's form intake link and arrive with their fields mapped. When the deal is desked in DealTracker, it starts from that same lead, so the path from first contact to signed deal page is unbroken.

That is what makes the reports trustworthy. The activity report shows what each salesperson did with each source. The company and management reports roll it up by store and by group. Our pages on marketing attribution software and the attribution dashboard go deeper on how stores read those numbers every week.

Trackable short links with click stats add another signal on the follow up side, showing which texts drew a customer back to a vehicle page.

A customer database earns its keep when a rep can turn it into a conversation in minutes. LeadLocate keeps the data and the tools to act on it together.

Contact import brings any list into the CRM. Custom statuses, row colors and tags let a manager build exactly the segment a campaign needs, and merge duplicates joins split records so one customer is one customer. The Phone Validator and Email Validator show validity dots right on the lead, and the DNC Blacklist runs a live do not call lookup so every send stays clean.

From that segment, a manager can send a bulk text, an RCS message with automatic SMS fallback, a bulk email from the store's own authenticated domain or a voicemail drop, now or scheduled for later. Follow Up Processes and Email Automation keep the conversation going on a schedule. Every reply lands in the inbox of the rep who owns the customer.

For a broader look at how stores organize this, our page on the automotive customer data platform covers the questions to ask about any customer data setup, including where the data lives and who can act on it.

Moving off a data platform is easier when the store decides first which numbers it needs to keep watching.

1. Pick the scorecard. List the handful of numbers the monthly marketing review depends on: leads by source, appointments, sold units by source and cost per sale.
2. Map every source. Write down each form, chat, lead provider and phone number that brings customers in today, and confirm who owns each domain and account.
3. Set up the zone and feeds. In Leads Manager your store draws its territory and writes the prescreening questions, and your other sources go into the Lead Feeds Manager. The account is set up for you, usually the same day.
4. Connect forms and phones. Point your website forms at your form intake link and assign tracking numbers per source.
5. Run both for a full month. Compare the scorecard side by side before you decide.

Our migration checklist covers each step in more detail, and training is included with every plan.

Bring the same list to every vendor meeting, ours included, and ask for the answers in writing.

Where does the data live, and can the sales team act on it in the same screen? How many systems have to stay connected for the reports to be right? Does attribution stop at the lead, or does it reach the sold unit? Is there new lead supply, and is it exclusive to our store? What can we export if we leave? What is the total monthly cost, and how long is the agreement?

Our answers are on the pricing page: Inbound buyer leads from $799, Marketplace Acquisitions seller leads from $999, the Buyers & Sellers Hybrid Plan from $1,599, CRM Only from $199 and Skip A Month from $199, all month to month. Every plan with leads includes the CRM, because the platform is what receives and delivers them. The recorded demo shows the product without a sales call.

We cannot guarantee lead counts, close rates or sales results, because those depend on your market, your inventory and your team. What we deliver is new supply and one record that carries each customer from first contact to signed deal.

Can LeadLocate report which source produced a sale?

Yes. Every lead carries its source, tracking numbers can be assigned per channel, and deals are desked from the same lead, so the activity, company and management reports connect each source to the units it produced.

Does LeadLocate include website analytics?

Yes. Visitor analytics inside the CRM cover overview, realtime, sessions, geo, devices, sources, search, top pages and session detail for the sites you run on the platform.

Can we act on our customer data from the same system?

Yes. Build a segment with statuses and tags, then send bulk texts, RCS, bulk email or voicemail drops, with replies landing in the assigned rep's inbox.

Does LeadLocate supply new leads?

Yes. Your store makes its selections in Leads Manager and our team runs the campaigns on the webXintel Ads Network, included with every plan. Every lead in your zone is delivered to you and only you, prescreened at capture and backed by a replacement review.

Does LeadLocate work for dealer groups?

Yes. Lead routing rules per rooftop, role permissions and the company and management reports give a group the same numbers at the store level and the group level.

What does LeadLocate cost?

CRM Only starts at $199 a month. Plans with exclusive local leads start at $799, seller leads from $999 and both together from $1,599, all month to month with no long term contract.

We will map a zone around your store and walk a real lead from first contact through the desk and into the reports. Month to month, so you decide every month.
