Orbee puts shopper data to work in marketing. QoreCloud puts the whole store to work.
Both platforms pull DMS and CRM data into one dealer-owned place. Orbee is built to turn that data into audiences, attribution and ads. QoreCloud is built so any manager can ask the store a question across sales, service, F&I, inventory, ads and payroll.
Does Orbee unify dealership DMS and CRM data?
Yes. Orbee says it runs full-table integrations with CDK, Reynolds, Dealertrack, PBS, VinSolutions, DealerSocket, Drive Centric and eLeads, and models customers, vehicles, service orders and inventory as tables the dealer owns. QoreCloud also unifies DMS and CRM, and adds F&I, ad spend and payroll so leaders can ask operational questions in plain English.
How much does Orbee cost compared to QoreCloud?
Orbee publishes $1,000 per rooftop per month for its required data platform, plus $500 per rooftop per month for each Analytics, Marketing or Advertising application, with third-party data and messaging overages extra. QoreCloud list pricing for one to five rooftops is $3,000 per rooftop per month for the platform, plus $400 per rooftop per month for data movement and a one-time $5,000 setup fee per dealership rooftop. Month-to-month from day one.
Summary
Orbee is an automotive data platform with three application add-ons for analytics, marketing and advertising, used by thousands of rooftops and many agencies. Its strength is turning identity-resolved shopper data into audiences and ads. QoreCloud is the reasoning layer of your Dealership Brain. It holds the whole store in a QoreVault lakehouse the dealership owns and answers operational questions across departments. Many stores could run both, with QoreCloud as the operational foundation and Orbee as a marketing activation layer.
