CallSource

What CallSource does

CallSource is a privately held call tracking and phone performance analytics company founded in 1993 and headquartered in Calabasas Hills, California, with a secondary office in Westlake Village, CA. The company self-identifies as the inventor of call tracking and serves businesses across the United States and Canada, with a vertical focus on automotive dealers, home services, hearing healthcare, dental, pest control, and legal. With 101-250 employees and over 30 years of operating history, CallSource processes call data for a customer base described in the millions of businesses across these verticals.

The company's product suite is organized around four functional pillars: Call Management (dynamic number insertion, IVR, whisper messaging, vanity numbers), Performance Management anchored by its TPA (Telephone Performance Assessment) methodology delivered by live analysts, Reputation Management via its "Respond Now!" service, and Digital Management via its DNI (Digital Number Insertion) platform. Adjacent products include DealSaver for lead recovery, CallShield for compliance filtering, LeadScore for human-scored call qualification, EveryLead for lead attribution, and Google LSA Management for paid lead administration. The technology stack integrates with major automotive dealer CRMs (VinSolutions, DealerSocket) and vertical-specific platforms such as Sycle for hearing healthcare, with each integration functioning as a distribution and data conduit into the core analytics platform.

CallSource operates a tiered subscription SaaS model with disclosed pricing ranging from approximately $129 to over $3,094 per month. Revenue is generated through direct sales to mid-market and enterprise accounts in its target verticals, supplemented by OEM vendor program partnerships with General Motors (iMR Turnkey) and FCA (Digital Certified), which embed the platform into subsidized dealer technology stacks. The firm is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, and is led by CEO and Founder Elliot Leiboff, President and CFO Indra Chitre, CTO Jason Scinocca, President Automotive Pogo Parr, and VP of Business Development Jas Jackson.
