Marketing and lead sources flow into Dealer Control Hub, which acts as the central intelligence layer β€” routing each enquiry to the correct dealer, tracking response and progression, and returning network performance and campaign attribution back to the manufacturer's OEM control centre.

What is an OEM lead management system?

An OEM lead management system gives a vehicle manufacturer central control over customer enquiries generated across its websites, campaigns and digital channels. Instead of manually forwarding leads or losing visibility once they reach the retail network, the platform automatically routes each enquiry to the appropriate dealer and allows the manufacturer to monitor response, follow-up, progression and sales outcomes across the network. Dealer Control Hub extends this further by connecting dealer lead activity with marketing, advertising and analytics data to provide a clearer view of customer acquisition and marketing ROI.

The visibility gap

You generated the lead. What happened next?

Vehicle manufacturers invest heavily in national advertising, model campaigns and paid search. But once an enquiry is handed to the retail network, visibility often fragments. The manufacturer rarely knows whether the lead was contacted, how quickly, whether a test drive was booked, or whether the opportunity turned into a sale β€” let alone which campaign generated it.

? Was the customer contacted?
? How quickly did the dealer respond?
? Was a follow-up completed?
? Was a test drive booked?
? Did the opportunity progress?
? Was a vehicle sold?
? Which campaign generated the customer?
? What did that acquisition actually cost?

DCH closes the gap between manufacturer marketing and dealer outcomes.

Automated dealer lead distribution

Every lead. Automatically routed to the right dealer.

DCH acts as the central lead distribution layer between the manufacturer website, the marketing ecosystem and the dealer network. Each enquiry is automatically allocated to the appropriate retailer using configurable routing rules.

Routing example

Customer enquiry→BT postcode→Interested in Model X→Territory matched→Dealer identified→Lead delivered→Response clock starts

Across a national network, leads arriving into the central DCH hub are distributed geographically and by territory β€” so every enquiry lands with the right dealer within seconds.

Automotive marketing intelligence

Connect marketing spend to what happens in the dealer network.

Most marketing platforms can tell you what happened before the lead. DCH is designed to help connect that activity with what happens afterwards.

DCH can help bring these signals together β€” connecting campaign and analytics data with downstream dealer activity and outcomes where data is available, to provide a clearer picture rather than claiming perfect multi-touch attribution.

ONE OEM PERFORMANCE VIEW

Instead of opening multiple platforms and manually trying to reconcile marketing performance with dealer results, DCH can bring the relevant signals together to give your team a clearer commercial picture.

From ad spend to sales outcome

Measure more than clicks and leads.

Clicks tell you somebody interacted with an advert. Leads tell you somebody raised their hand. Dealer outcomes tell you whether that investment created a genuine sales opportunity. DCH helps connect marketing activity with downstream dealer performance so teams understand which channels, campaigns, models and regions produce valuable outcomes.

?Which campaigns generate the most qualified opportunities?
?Which channels produce the lowest cost per sale?
?Which vehicle models are generating the strongest demand?
?Which dealers convert manufacturer leads most effectively?
?Where are leads being lost?
?How quickly does each dealer respond?
?Which territories are underperforming?
?Where should the next Β£10,000 of marketing budget go?

Move from marketing reporting to commercial intelligence.

Automotive customers rarely follow a straight line. A prospect may discover a model on social, research on Google, visit the manufacturer website several times and speak to a dealer through another channel before buying. DCH is designed around that reality by bringing more of the journey into one connected commercial view.

One platform. Different answers for every team.
