eBunch is an innovative Canadian digital marketing firm that specializes in generating more qualified leads per dollar spent for retailers. The company has developed proprietary Intellectual Property ("IP") and Artificial Intelligence ("AI") driven technology to help internal marketing teams reach their ideal and opportunistic audience with targeted digital ads across all platforms and industries. Over recent years, eBunch's prime focus has been on the automotive sector where they've seen great success due their expertise combining creative concepts coupled with high grade digital strategy.
EBunch是一家創新的加拿大數字營銷公司,專門為零售商提供更多合格的銷售線索。該公司開發了自主知識產權(IP)和人工智能(AI)驅動的技術,以幫助內部營銷團隊通過跨所有平臺和行業的有針對性的數字美國存托股份接觸到他們理想和機會主義的受眾。近年來,eBunch一直專注於汽車行業,憑藉其將創意概念與高質量數字戰略相結合的專業知識,他們在汽車行業取得了巨大成功。
The addition of eBunch's complementary online lead generation technology and team, combined with MyMarble's financial wellness engagement platform and Inverite's open banking income verification, credit decisioning, fraud detection and KYC/AML will assist auto dealers in generating and scoring high quality leads in real-time, acquiring a prospective buyer for a specific vehicle and have the prospect complete a credit application online with accurate credit information in the subprime finance sector and submit the entire lead package to the Finance and Insurance office (the "F&I") of the dealership.
EBunch補充的在線銷售線索生成技術和團隊,與MyMarble的財務健康互動平臺和Inverite的開放銀行收入驗證、信用決策、欺詐檢測和KYC/AML相結合,將幫助汽車經銷商實時生成和評分高質量的銷售線索,為特定車輛獲取潛在買家,並讓潛在買家在線完成信用申請,提供準確的次貸金融領域的信用信息,並將整個銷售線索包提交給經銷商的金融和保險辦公室(“F&I”)。
In September 2021, Marble announced a licensing agreement with Konect Ai. Konect Ai has partnerships with over 50 automotive companies across Canada and over 200 such relationships in the United States. The Transaction is strategic for Marble as it is anticipated that the acquisition of eBunch will further enhance Marble's overall value proposition as it relates to creating holistic campaigns that generate quality leads and scoring for auto dealers.
2021年9月,大理石宣佈與Konect Ai達成授權協議。KoNECT Ai與加拿大50多家汽車公司建立了合作伙伴關係,在美國也有200多家這樣的合作伙伴關係。這筆交易對大理石具有戰略意義,因為預計收購eBunch將進一步提升大理石的整體價值主張,因為它與創建為汽車經銷商創造高質量線索和得分的整體活動有關。
Moreover, the acquisition of eBunch and associated technology will enable Marble to monetize the pre-qualified lead with lenders on Marble's Inverite Platform. Qualified consumers will have the ability to be adjudicated and pre-qualified for credit to purchase a vehicle of interest prior to walking into a dealership. This presents a tremendous opportunity for both prime and sub-prime lenders leveraging both Inverite and the MyMarble technology platform.
此外,收購eBunch和相關技術將使Marble能夠從Marble Inverite平臺上的貸款人那裏獲得預審領先地位的貨幣化。合格的消費者將有能力在進入經銷商之前接受裁決和信用預審,以購買感興趣的車輛。這為利用Inverite和MyMarble技術平臺的優質和次級貸款人提供了一個巨大的機會。
"This acquisition of eBunch by Marble will significantly help dealers who are not equipped for complete online selling - aka Digital Retailing - but understand that the selling of autos and the auto industry, in general, is changing. Marble is now equipped to assist these dealerships that are interested in moving forward in that direction." state Paul Lehal, CEO and owner of eBunch. "The future roadmap entails empowering existing digital merchandising companies with Marble's API so that their payment calculators are accurate to the penny and building widgets for dealerships to help them gather finance leads."
Marble對eBunch的收購將極大地幫助那些還沒有做好完全在線銷售的準備-也就是數字零售-但瞭解到汽車銷售和汽車行業總體上正在發生變化的經銷商。Marble現在有能力幫助這些有興趣朝着這個方向前進的經銷商。州首席執行官兼eBunch所有者保羅·萊哈爾。未來的路線圖需要用Marble的API來支持現有的數字銷售公司,這樣他們的支付計算器就可以精確到每分錢,併為經銷商開發小工具來幫助他們收集財務線索。
"This acquisition allows Marble to exponentially expand its reach and partnerships. With access to a broad range of industries, we will be able take on new markets that were previously inaccessible." said Doug Tanner VP Business Development for Marble, "Adding eBunch to our competitive offering will give Marble more opportunities for growth than ever before. We will be able to provide partners with an edge in the ever-changing online market, as well as focus on other lending spaces such as mortgages or home renovation projects that are currently not possible without this acquisition. We believe this will be a major asset for leads, sales, and adjudication to our new and existing partners."
此次收購使大理石集團能夠成倍地擴大其業務範圍和合作夥伴關係。通過進入廣泛的行業,我們將能夠進入以前無法進入的新市場。大理石業務發展副總裁道格·坦納表示:“將eBunch加入我們的競爭產品將給大理石帶來比以往任何時候都更多的增長機會。我們將能夠在不斷變化的在線市場為合作伙伴提供優勢,並將重點放在其他貸款領域,如抵押貸款或房屋翻新項目,而如果沒有這次收購,這些領域目前是不可能的。我們相信,這將是一項重要資產,用於銷售線索,以及對我們新的和現有的合作伙伴進行裁決。”
Marble also announces the grant of 300,000 restricted share units (each, an "RSU") to Brad McPherson, pursuant to the Company's long-term performance incentive plan (the "LTIP"). Each RSU represents the right to receive, once vested, one common share in the capital of the Company.
