A demand-side platform for in-house programmatic teams

Vectravia gives advertiser-side programmatic specialists API access, log-level exports and direct control over deals and supply paths. The team runs the work itself and keeps sight of what the bid stream carried.

What does an in-house team need from a DSP?

Teams that run programmatic themselves tend to need access and control more than hand-holding.

Which standards does the platform use under the hood?

In-house teams usually want to know what the bidder actually reads. This is the short list, with a plain-English guide for each.

Questions in-house teams ask

Does Vectravia offer an API?

Console and Managed Desk lists API access for in-house teams. Ask for the details in a demo so the walkthrough covers your own workflow.

Can an in-house team get log-level data?

Signal Reports provides log-level exports and scheduled reports, so your own analysts can work from the underlying records.

How does Vectravia handle UID2?

Where publishers pass UID2 tokens in the bid request, Audience Lab decrypts them as the UID2 DSP guide describes and honors opt-outs. UID2 is a named third-party service, and this answer covers only the DSP side of the flow. See the UID2 guide.

Can an in-house team use the managed desk?

The managed desk is one of the two ways to run the platform, with the same reporting, permissions and audit trail as the self-serve console. Ask how it would apply to your team in a demo.
