How Orbit Helps Sales Teams Sell Smarter, Not Harder

Sales Reps Aren’t Inefficient. The System Is.

Sales reps in the building materials industry are constantly expected to do more with less. They’re navigating vast product catalogs, managing showroom relationships, and trying to track down samples that have vanished into thin air — all while aiming to hit sales goals in a highly competitive space.

The problem isn’t the reps. It’s the outdated processes and lack of visibility that surround them.

Orbit was built to change that.

Turning Sample Chaos Into Clarity

Sales teams lose time every day trying to manage samples manually — chasing down where a board went, following up with stores, or guessing what products are converting.

Orbit eliminates that guesswork.
By transforming every physical sample into a smart, trackable asset, Orbit gives reps the visibility they’ve never had before. It automates sample tracking, follow-ups, and engagement insights so reps can focus on building stronger relationships and driving revenue.

What Orbit Delivers for Sales Teams

1. Time Back in the Day
Sales reps using Orbit save up to one hour per day by streamlining manual sample processes. That adds up to hundreds of hours reclaimed every year — time that can now be spent on selling, not searching.

2. Real-Time Visibility
Reps can see which samples are checked out, by whom, and for how long — directly from their Orbit dashboard. No more calling stores or logging into multiple systems.

3. Clear Customer Engagement Data
Track which SKUs are most requested, which products convert to specs, and where engagement is trending. Reps can walk into every sales meeting prepared with data that informs the conversation.

4. Better Support for Showroom Partners
Orbit allows store staff to check in and out samples, confirm customer follow-up, and automate reminders — so reps can partner more effectively with each location instead of relying on manual updates.

Sales Driven ROI

Orbit isn’t just about efficiency — it’s about results.

Reducing sample waste, accelerating follow-ups, and surfacing real-time SKU engagement data has shown direct impact on revenue performance. At scale, programs using Orbit can see:

  • Over $2.5M in annual time savings from rep efficiency

  • $5M saved by reducing sample waste by just 10%

  • 0.5–1% increase in overall sales — translating to $15–30M in added revenue

That’s a system built for real ROI.

Built for How Reps Actually Work

Orbit was designed with input from national reps, showroom managers, and brand leaders. It integrates seamlessly into existing workflows, works across all devices, and eliminates the need for reps to babysit sample inventory or rely on outdated tracking methods.

It’s not another tool to manage — it’s a strategic enabler.
