Yes — for assigning internet leads to the right salesperson and tracking follow-up SLAs, you’ll want a lead management / CRM platform with routing rules, speed-to-lead automation, and SLA reporting.

Strong recommendations

2) Salesforce Sales Cloud + Lead Assignment Rules / Flow

4) Zoho CRM + workflow automation

Best budget-friendly option.

What to look for

For your use case, make sure the platform supports:

  • Lead assignment rules
    • round-robin
    • territory/geography
    • product line
    • account ownership
    • lead source / web form / ad campaign
  • Speed-to-lead tracking
    • time to first response
    • time to contact
    • time to qualification

If you want, I can narrow this down further based on your team size, budget, CRM you already use, and how leads should be routed.
