HomeSource Gatekeeper: Never miss a sales opportunity
HomeSource Gatekeeper

Never miss a
sales opportunity.

HomeSource Gatekeeper is the real-time lead engagement platform inside HomeSource, built for independent, large-ticket retailers in the appliance, furniture, mattress, and plumbing categories. Camera technology detects every customer the moment they walk in, routes them to the next available salesperson, and tracks every lead through to the close. Revenue per opportunity stops being a guess.

HomeSource Gatekeeper on the sales floor

Every walk-in counted.
Every lead tracked.

Most stores have no way to count the opportunities they miss. Gatekeeper makes the invisible measurable, from the front door to the close.

Never miss a sales opportunity.

Most retailers know walk-ins are leaking. They just have no way to count what they're missing. Gatekeeper makes the invisible measurable.

Sales accountability with data, not gut feel.

Revenue per opportunity becomes a real metric, not a story. Managers coach on what actually happened, not on impressions of who was hustling.

End-to-end, not a separate camera system.

Standalone cameras show who came in. Gatekeeper connects every entry to the lead, the quote, the order, and the revenue it turns into.

“You’re going to spend money either way. You can keep spending to get more people in the door, or you can focus on making sure the people already in the store are handled the right way.”

Why now

Foot traffic costs more to earn than it used to. The sales floor is the last room where revenue per opportunity is still a guess.

Every walk-in is the end of a marketing spend, a search, and a drive across town. Miss one and you don't just lose a sale, you lose the most expensive lead you'll see all day. Yet most stores still run the floor the way they did in 1995: a clipboard at the door, a whiteboard for rotation, a shouted "you're up."

Gatekeeper is the floor system you'd build if you started from scratch today. Cameras at the door, the next available rep on the alert, every walk-in tracked from greet to close in the same record your team is already working out of. You've run the floor on instinct and it got you here. This makes the next step simpler, not harder.

Three ways to run the floor.
One connects every walk-in to revenue.

Where most stores are
Disconnected tools

Clipboards, whiteboards, and gut feel.

  • Customers wait at the door and walk out before anyone reaches them.
  • No count of how many came in versus how many got greeted.
  • Revenue per opportunity is a number nobody has measured.
  • When sales drops, no way to tell if it's traffic, conversion, or reps.
  • Rep accountability runs on impressions, not data.

The status quo most retailers are trying to leave.

The half measure
Generic door counter

Counts heads, then leaves the floor to figure out the rest.

  • Counts entries, but has no idea who got greeted.
  • No alert to a rep, just a number in a separate tool.
  • No tie to a lead, a quote, or an order.
  • Conversion rate is still a guess.
  • The data lives outside the system the floor actually uses.

Better than nothing, but the gaps add up.

One system
Inside the record
HomeSource Gatekeeper

Every walk-in detected, assigned, and tracked.

  • Camera technology detects every customer entry in real time.
  • The next available rep gets the alert the moment a customer walks in.
  • Every entry becomes a tracked lead, from greet to close.
  • A daily read on who's closing and who's not.
  • Staffing decisions backed by actual foot traffic, every store side by side.

One platform. One record. One source of truth.

Set it up once.
Runs automatically after that.

Three loops that move every walk-in from the front door to the close, without a clipboard, a guess, or a missed greeting.

Step 01

The camera detects the walk-in

Cameras at your entry detect every customer the moment they enter. No clipboard, no counting by hand. Every door swing is logged in real time.

Step 02

The next available rep gets it

The next available salesperson is alerted where they actually see it. If they can't take it, the lead moves to the next person automatically. No walk-in waits at the door.

Step 03

Every walk-in is tracked to revenue

The interaction becomes a tracked lead in CBMS. The quote, the order, the conversion, and the revenue all flow back automatically, so managers see what closed and what didn't.

How a walk-in goes from the front door, to the next available rep, to a tracked lead, without anyone reaching for a clipboard.

HomeSource Gatekeeper video preview

Every walk-in.
One door-to-close loop.

Built for the way appliance, furniture, mattress, and plumbing retailers actually sell. Every part reads from the same camera feed and writes back to the same customer record, so the walk-in at 10:42 shows up in the scoreboard, the lead queue, and the conversion report at the same time.

Gatekeeper runs on the same record as the rest of your store.

The walk-in the camera detects at 10:42 is the same record CBMS quotes, Pay charges, Conversations texts, and AI scores. One source of truth under all of it, not a separate camera tool bolted on the side.

Every walk-in Gatekeeper detects becomes a tracked lead in CBMS, tied to the quote, the order, and the revenue it turns into.

Alerts and follow-up

HomeSource Conversations

Alerts reach reps where they actually are. Un-converted walk-ins get a follow-up text in the same thread, tied to the customer record.

HomeSource AI
Lead scoring

HomeSource AI

Scores every lead and surfaces patterns in the opportunities that get lost, so you can see where the floor is leaving revenue behind.

Online and floor

HomeSource Commerce

Online leads land in the same queue as walk-ins, so the floor team works one list across the showroom and the storefront.

HomeSource Pay
Payments

HomeSource Pay

The deposit or sale collected at the counter ties back to the walk-in that started it, so revenue per opportunity is real, not modeled.

Product data

HomeSource RPS

The rep working a walk-in pulls specs, pricing, and quotes in seconds, so the answer at the counter is right the first time.

What large-ticket retailers ask before they switch.

The questions that come up most on demo calls. If yours isn't here, ask your rep and we'll answer it straight.

HomeSource Gatekeeper is the real-time lead engagement platform inside HomeSource, built for independent, large-ticket retailers in the appliance, furniture, mattress, and plumbing categories. Camera technology detects every customer the moment they walk in, the next available rep gets the alert, and every interaction becomes a tracked lead through to quote, order, and close.
Independent, large-ticket retailers: appliance dealers, furniture and mattress stores, and plumbing showrooms. Sales floor staff get the next available walk-in. Sales managers get a daily read on who's closing and who's not. Multi-location operators get every store, side by side. It is not built for big-box stores.
A standalone counter shows how many people walked in. Gatekeeper connects every entry to a real lead, assigned to a specific rep, tied to the customer's history, and tracked through quote, order, and revenue. It isn't a counting tool. It's a sales floor system. The data lives inside the platform your team already works in, not in a separate dashboard nobody on the floor sees.
Gatekeeper runs on HomeSource CBMS, the platform's POS and customer record. Walk-ins become CBMS records natively, with no separate integration to keep alive. If you are already on HomeSource, ask your rep about adding Gatekeeper. If you are not, ask what is included in the platform.
Yes. Multi-location operators see every store side by side: foot traffic, conversion, revenue per opportunity, and rep performance. Each store can also be viewed on its own, with the same reporting at the location level, one operating picture across the whole operation.
Implementation includes provided cameras installed at your customer entry points, a kickoff call to wire Gatekeeper into your existing HomeSource workflow, and configuration so the next-available-rep logic matches how your floor actually runs, including rotation and reps stepping on and off the floor as the day flows.
Yes. HomeSource is web-based and works on Mac, Windows, tablet, and mobile. Reps get alerts where they actually see them, in-system and by text, so the next walk-in reaches them whether they're at a workstation or out on the floor.
Customer entry events, which rep took them, what was quoted, what was sold, and follow-up activity on the visits that didn't convert. The same customer record carries through to quotes, orders, and revenue in CBMS, so the history of every visit lives on the customer's profile.
