The AutoMiner Alternative for Car Dealerships

Put your customer list, your new leads and every conversation in one system your salespeople already live in, and turn clean records into booked appointments.

The AutoMiner is positioned as a customer data platform built for car dealers, with managed marketing services on top. Its public material describes bringing customer records from the systems a dealership already runs into one cleaned and consolidated profile per customer, holding ownership and purchase history, and then using that profile to target sales and service marketing. It is part of PureCars, which pairs the customer data with its advertising work.

The idea behind a customer data platform is sound. Most stores have the same customer spread across a sales system, a service system, a website form log and a spreadsheet somebody built for a campaign two managers ago. Consolidating those records so a marketing message goes to the right person, once, is real work, and a CDP is one way stores approach it.

Product scope, packaging and pricing change over time, so confirm current features, pricing and terms with the vendor directly before you build a plan around them.

The conversation usually starts on the sales floor, not in the marketing budget. A manager looks at a clean customer list and asks the next question: who is actually calling these people, who is texting them back at nine at night, and where does the answer land when a customer replies? A customer record earns its keep when a salesperson picks up the phone with it in front of them.

LeadLocate is built around that moment. It is a lead generation platform with a full CRM built in, so the customer record, the new leads coming in from your zone, and every call, text, email and voicemail all sit in the same system your team works all day. There is no hand off between a data layer, a marketing agency and a separate CRM, and no waiting for a list to come back before a rep can act on it.

Stores also like having the pieces under one login. The same sign in launches the CRM, Inventory Link for your vehicles, and SecureWebX for credit applications, from the dock at the bottom of the screen. For a broader look at what a customer data platform should do inside a dealership, the automotive customer data platform guide walks through it.

Leave your number and a lead specialist calls you back to answer your questions about pricing, coverage, and setup. Mon - Sat, 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Pacific.

Both products keep evolving. Confirm any row that matters to your decision with each vendor directly.

The first gain is new opportunity, not just a cleaner list of old customers. LeadLocate delivers exclusive leads into the same CRM that holds your customer file. The Inbound plan brings buyer leads, a mix of shoppers asking about a specific VIN and shoppers describing what they want in general terms. The Marketplace Acquisitions plan brings opt in seller leads from local owners who asked a dealership to make an offer. Every lead in your zone is delivered to you and only you, prescreened at capture with the questions you choose, and backed by a replacement review through Quality Control Requests.

The second gain is that the store makes the marketing decisions in plain view. In Leads Manager you set the zone in the zone editor, check zip stats and a market scan, choose the campaign type, set the prescreening questions and Custom Offers, and preview sample ads with See Samples. Our team builds and runs the campaigns from those selections on the webXintel Ads Network, which is included with every plan, and every lead arrives tagged with its source.

The third gain is speed. When a record and a conversation live in the same place, a rep never waits for a file to be matched and sent back. The customer replies, the thread is on the lead, and the next step is one click away.

The Customer Profile in LeadLocate is one shared buyer record, co-buyer included, with personal information encrypted. Contact import brings your existing sold and service customers in one pass, and merge duplicates finds the second and third copies of the same person so the team sees one history instead of three partial ones. Custom lead statuses, tags and row colors let each store organize the file its own way.

Hygiene is built in rather than bought separately. The Phone Validator and the Email Validator are separate tools inside the CRM, and their results show as validity dots right on the lead, so a rep knows before dialing whether a number is live. The DNC Blacklist page carries a live do not call lookup on numbers and a two way inbound spam block. Email domain authentication lets the store send from its own domain, which keeps campaign mail landing where it should.

Everything that happens with a customer lands on one communications timeline on the lead record: every call with its recording and transcript, every text and picture message, every email and every voicemail. Call Alerts with Alert Keywords check transcribed calls for the words the store picks, such as trade in, payment or cancel, so a manager hears about the conversation that matters without listening to all of them. The duplicate lead management guide covers how stores keep the file clean over time.

A clean list pays when it produces appointments. Bulk Texting and Bulk Email reach a segment of the file in minutes, RCS messaging carries rich cards with automatic SMS fallback, and trackable short links show exactly who clicked. Voicemail Drops reach the customers who never answer an unknown number, and scheduled sends let a manager write Saturday's service offer on Thursday and have it go out on time.

Follow Up Processes run multi step drips per lead type, so a sold customer, a service customer and a fresh internet lead each get their own cadence. Text Automation and Email Automation keep the rhythm going, and Texting Chatbots answer the first round of questions after hours. When a customer replies, the message lands in the salesperson's inbox with the whole history above it, and the vehicle button in every text and email composer attaches a unit with photos and price in a couple of clicks.

Service customers are often the warmest list in the building. A text to a customer whose vehicle is in for service, sent by the salesperson who sold them the car, starts a trade conversation naturally, and the service to sales campaigns guide lays out how stores structure it. When the customer walks in, In-Store Now flags them so the right person is ready at the door.

Plan the move as a one week rollout; nothing about the customer relationship has to pause while it happens. The account is set up for you, usually the same day. Start by importing your customer file and running the Phone Validator and Email Validator across it, so the first campaign goes to numbers and addresses that work. Merge duplicates as they surface, and set up the DNC Blacklist before anything goes out.

Next, connect your website forms so every request from your own site creates a lead with the fields mapped, and set Automated Templates per lead feed so the first text fires the moment a lead arrives. Add managers to the feeds they care about with Manager Lead Copies, and load your inventory into Inventory Link from your feed or straight from your website so reps can attach vehicles from the first day.

Then open Leads Manager, choose your zone, campaign type and prescreening questions, and preview sample ads before anything runs. Training is included with every plan: the video library, Live Training sessions and Schedule Training from the top bar. Jax, the bilingual AI assistant inside the CRM, helps reps in English or Spanish while they learn. The CRM migration checklist is a useful companion for the week.

Buyer leads come with the Inbound plan from $799 a month, seller leads with the Marketplace Acquisitions plan from $999, and the Buyers and Sellers Hybrid plan covers both from $1,599. The CRM is included with every lead plan, and stores that want the software on its own start with CRM Only from $199. Everything is month to month with no long term contract, and the pricing page has current details.

Measure the move the way a sales manager would. Track response time on new leads, appointments set from campaigns to your existing customers, appointments set from new leads, shows, and sales by source in the activity, company and management reports. Website visitor analytics inside the CRM show which pages and sources bring people to your site in the first place, so marketing and follow up are judged in the same system.

We cannot guarantee lead counts, appointments or sales, because those depend on your market, your offers and how quickly your team responds. What LeadLocate gives you is one place where the customer file, the new leads and the conversations meet. Call 844-376-2274 and we will show you your zone.
