BIAnalytix Planner™
Using near real-time traffic data to determine unsold avail periods
CHALLENGE:
The discovery of spot information changing too quickly to use the nightly unsold avail information led a client to seek ways of decreasing the refresh timeframes for unsold spot avail periods. flip card for solution
Using near real-time traffic data to determine unsold avail periods
SOLUTION:
Decentrix reduced the consolidated avail positions from 18+ traffic systems to a 30-minute cycle compared to the previous 24-hour refresh providing near real-time avail information. This has led to more accurate orders and support of better decisions for sales activities internally and for partners.

CHALLENGE:
A client did not know how to integrate external industry ad sales competitive data with their in-house data to evaluate the effectiveness of internal inventory utilization. flip card for solution
Using external sales data to optimize sales opportunities
SOLUTION:

CHALLENGE:
The discovery that some content was being transmitted to incorrect subscribers because of the incorrect routing connections of node maps led a client to search for an accurate automated solution. flip card for solution
Marketing spot data used for locational accuracy of ad delivery
SOLUTION:
Decentrix developed a daily load of transmitted marketing spots and cross-referenced them with network routing, identifying incorrect transmission destinations.

SOLUTION:
Decentrix loaded both proposal and traffic data into a unified warehouse and consolidated all titles from across contributing systems.

CHALLENGE:
Producing weekly campaign performance reports was a highly manual, time intensive, and error-prone process for the client. The accuracy and accessibility of the data severely limited analysis opportunities for enhancing advertising revenue. flip card for solution

SOLUTION:
Decentrix operationalized spot verification loading with audience data on a weekly basis. This allowed dynamic selection of audience demographics for analysis and reporting.

CHALLENGE:
Manual and disconnected reports with different business definitions were used to manually assemble month end close reports, leading to errors and missed deadlines. flip card for solution
Unified month end close report system
SOLUTION:
Decentrix leveraged transactions from a consolidated data repository to develop an integrated and automated close folder system. The client is now able to produce consistent and accurate month end reports across regions in a timely manner, enabling auditable results and reporting ahead of schedule. This has freed up analysts to focus on valuable optimization opportunities instead of manual report creation.
