Business Retention Software Platform
Built for Economic Development
in Local Cities and Counties
We have been looking for a CRM for the last 2 years. Everything we had tried were all too much for "sales" and too frustrating for us as a city ED team.
Finally, a CRM built for Economic Development
Join the small-mid sized cities and counties around the country to supercharge your Economic Development with specialized tools made just for you.
Meet
the BR&E CRM that comes with data
Many communities were hesitant to try any solution because they worry that they do not have enough data (if any at all), nor do they have the time to put it together.
We get it.
Unlike all generic CRM tools which come to you blank,
Bludot is pre-populated with data for every business in your community
so you can hit the ground running from the moment you log in.
Schedule a demo and see what data we have for your community
Before using Bludot, we did not have any data for our local businesses. No list of businesses, no industry sectors, no employee sizes, nothing.
Getting data populated is half the battle already done.
