Project:  Realtime lead exchange

Problem: The client has been collaborated with many leads suppliers and buyers using direct agreement for a long time. The main disadvantage of such agreements is the lack of possibility to show the lead to several buyers and get the best price.  Main direct agreement problems:

• the client doesn’t get the maximum revenue;
• not all leads are sold which causes profit losses;
• sometimes bought leads are not relevant and again it’s profit losses.

Solution: Together with the client, we decided to create a realtime lead exchange with advanced targeting to solve all the problems listed above. 

Following functionality was implemented:

• collecting lead data from partners. It was implemented by integrations with several lead buying partners;
• collecting lead data from suppliers. It was made by integrations with transferring lead profiles partners;
• auction is held based on received data in strict time limits (auction timeout is 300 ms).

As a result, developed architecture and solution allowed us to eliminate all of the client’s listed problems and increase the revenue.

Results:  This project implementation helped the client to achieve significant results:

• traffic sellers increased their profit from the auction;
• buyers have advanced targeting opportunity to buy only relevant traffic;
• direct agreements with buyers are not needed.
