To ensure you do not lose new leads, please review the following information and take appropriate action now.
Migrate to a New Lead Management System
There is no direct replacement for FootSteps within ARI’s current product portfolio. To avoid further interruptions to your lead management process, we recommend that you consider alternative vendor solutions and begin migration immediately.

Switch Your Lead Delivery Endpoint
In order to avoid losing new leads, you will need to notify your lead provider (e.g. your website or third-party lead portal) to switch your lead delivery endpoint to your new lead management system. Please note that leads submitted to FootSteps are no longer received or processed and cannot be recovered.
