Products

Purl Applications Limited provides two software platforms to the out-of-home (OOH) market that helps both buyers and sellers share and understand their inventory, audiences and guaranteed deals.

Our products
  • Plots

    dooh.direct facilitates the exploration of OOH inventory and audiences by creatively building ‘Plots’ of inventory, maps, tables and audience data/visualisations that enables discovery of the right frames that reach the right audiences at the right times to satisfy an OOH media brief.

  • Plans

    A ‘Plan’ is a workspace that allows the user to select certain inventory from their ‘Plot’ exploration and assemble a targeted campaign plan based on nationwide Media Owner inventory and live availability. This plan can be shared as an interactive proposal to any third party for trading or information purposes.

  • Trading

    dooh.direct is supplied with a basic trading facility for API deal-based availability checking and ordering with Media Owners supporting OpenDirect guaranteed programmatic trading . All orders can then be matched against posting and playout logs provided by our media owner partners.

  • Plots

    Purl facilitates the exploration of OOH inventory and audiences by creatively building ‘Plots’ of inventory, maps, tables and audience data/visualisations that enables discovery of the right frames that reach the right audiences at the right times to satisfy an OOH media brief.

  • Plans

    A ‘Plan’ is a workspace that allows the user to select certain inventory from their ‘Plot’ sandbox and assemble a targeted campaign plan based on live OOH pricing and availability directly from Media Owner inventory systems.

  • Orders

    Once a ‘Plan’ is finalised, ‘Orders’ are generated for each of the targeted media owners. Thanks to a direct API connection with the media owner trading systems, the required OOH inventory can be checked for availability and then optioned and/or booked instantly for guaranteed delivery.

  • Creative

    A user can load creative into this workspace to be approved by Media owners that is then linked to draft/optioned/booked Purl campaigns for immediate and dynamic allocation to Media Owner CMS systems and inventory.

  • Performance

    The direct delivery of Media Owner ‘proof-of-play logs’ directly into Purl enables the complete audit of the campaign requirements, bookings and ads served being achieved in a single system. The fulfilment of a campaign is then enriched with audience data, visualised, monitored and reported in a single dashboard that can be shared with client, trading and operational partners.
