Overview

 Client: (Baytech Consulting, in partnership with BMG) Project Type: Custom SaaS CRM Industry: Lead Management, Marketing Automation, Mortgage & Finance

LeadStack is a next-generation SaaS-based lead and marketing management CRM developed by Baytech Consulting in partnership with BMG. It evolved from Prime, a battle-tested desktop CRM, into a fully web-based, microservice-oriented platform. Built with scalability, auditability, and omni-channel communication in mind, LeadStack serves as an enterprise-class solution tailored for high-volume lead-driven organizations, particularly in mortgage and consumer lending.

Mission & Background

Baytech has a rich history of building CRMs for the lending and marketing industries. With decades of experience operating mortgage shops and managing sales teams, they developed Prime, a legacy CRM used by companies like New American Funding and CashCall. However, Prime was never intended to be multi-tenant or cloud-native.

Recognizing the limitations of Prime and the opportunity in the CRM market, Baytech launched LeadStack to deliver a robust, extensible platform equipped to support real-time communication, intelligent lead routing, detailed marketing analytics, and granular user behavior management.
