The database company
for automotive retail

Orbee builds the data infrastructure layer behind 3,000+ dealerships, 120+ marketing agencies, and nine OEM programs. Our mission is straightforward: turn the messy, fragmented data automotive runs on into the foundation modern dealer marketing depends on — without dealers giving up ownership of the customer relationship.

Automotive runs on world-class customer relationships
and second-class customer data

DMSs, CRMs, website providers, call trackers, OEM-mandated tooling — built in isolation, none of them talking to each other cleanly. Orbee was founded to solve that at the infrastructure layer.

Three things that set us apart from general-purpose CDPs

Built for automotive. Owned by dealers. Flexible by design.

Built for automotive

From the first commit, not adapted later.

Native event taxonomy that understands VDPs, SRPs, finance forms, trade-ins. Pre-built integrations across DMS, CRM, website, call. Already maintained, not on the roadmap.

  • Auto-grade event schema
  • 40+ integrations maintained
  • OEM-program-friendly
Dealer-owned

You own the asset, we process it.

Documented schema, full export rights, no vendor lock-in. Built around the assumption dealers should keep the asset, not surrender it.

  • Documented schema
  • Full export rights
  • Service provider governance
Flexible, not pre-packaged

The whole box of Legos, not a kit.

Pre-packaged competitors lock you into the use cases their platform was designed for. Orbee gives you the data infrastructure to build whatever your operation needs.

  • Custom native objects
  • Documented APIs + SDK
  • Custom Solutions for non-standard cases

Engineering-first. Industry-embedded. AI-aggressive on us, careful on you.

The operating principles that shape the product.

Engineering-first

We build the platform ourselves

Studio, Explorer, Native, Unity — products of our own engineering team, not stitched-together third-party tools. We control the roadmap.

Industry-embedded

Our team comes from automotive

Customer-facing teams have lived inside CDK, Reynolds, VinSolutions, and the dealer marketing stack.

AI-careful

AI where it improves outcomes

Aggressive on our own operations. Careful with yours — applied where it improves outcomes without compromising dealer ownership.
