White-Label Forecasting for Premium Sales Platform

  • The client company
    an American media corporation
  • Ad network of 48 websites and platforms
  • 15 billion
    impressions per month

Challenge

The company has developed its own Agency Trading Desk. To help partners plan ad campaigns, the client has integrated the inventory forecasting functionality in the ad campaign booking and management tool.

The system calculated the total amount of traffic, but not the amount of available inventory. And on narrow targeting, forecasts deviated from actual results by a factor of 2-3. Our team has enhanced the forecasting tool and integrated it into the client platform interface.

The Client’s Goals

  1. Develop a forecasting system that
  2. Increase customers’ loyalty
  3. Increase revenue

Solution

    We developed a forecasting tool and integrated it into the client platform via API. Advertisers can now get an accurate ad campaign delivery forecast on the selected inventory slice in several seconds.

    • influence the traffic input by traffic managers into the platform in advance
