Development of a Header Bidding Management Platform for Enhanced Ad Operations

The client faces difficulties in efficiently managing header bidding setups across numerous websites due to manual code alterations, high error propensity, and delays caused by dependence on web developers. They require a scalable, error-resistant solution to simplify configuration updates, demand partner management, and version upgrades without direct code modifications.

A mid-to-large size digital publisher or advertising agency managing multiple websites seeking streamlined header bidding configuration and control.

• Create a unified platform that enables quick configuration of header bidding settings, including ad units, demand partners, and Prebid.js versions, via an intuitive user interface.
• Automate deployment of configuration changes to reduce manual coding errors and improve reliability.
• Enable non-technical teams (e.g., AdOps, sales) to manage setups independently, reducing reliance on developers and lowering update turn-around times.
• Support multi-site management to facilitate consistent and efficient header bidding setup across multiple digital properties.
• Offer flexible deployment options, including white-labeling capabilities, for internal use or client-facing product offerings.
• Ensure a scalable architecture that can accommodate future feature addition such as detailed analytics and reporting modules.

• User-friendly interface for ad unit configuration, demand partner selection, and Prebid.js version upgrades.
• Automated generation and deployment of header bidding configuration code (e.g., container scripts).
• Multi-site management capabilities for overseeing multiple digital assets within a single platform.
• Ability to whitelist or customize the branding and appearance for white-labeled deployment.
• Optional integration with analytics modules to track header bidding performance metrics and generate reports.
• Support for version control, rollback, and updates of the configuration files.

• Ad server or ad exchange platforms (e.g., Google Ad Manager) for reporting and analytics.
• Demand partner APIs for dynamic configuration and management.
• Version control systems to manage configuration lifecycle.
• Authentication and user management systems for secure access.

• Scalability to support management of thousands of ad units across multiple websites.
