Wireless posting control for outdoor media providers

Managing and controlling outdoor advertisements by using the latest mobile phone technology (Lavasphere®).

Especially for outdoor media providers, Gavitec AG - mobile digit has designed a completely new system for field-force management, quality control and billing support for outdoor advertisers – using mobile phones instead of dedicated mobile data terminals.

Goals

Using mobile phones, outdoor advertisements will be managed, controlled and documented online – making billposting orders more transparent and comprehensible for clients and therefore enhancing customers‘ confidence in out-of-home media.

Idea

The billposter receives tour data OTA to his mobile phone and drives to a location. On each billboard, there is an advertisement-motive code and a 2D code (Data Matrix) containing a location code. Using the code-reader application created with Gavitec Lavasphere® technology, the billposter simply points his mobile phone’s camera at both Data Matrix and motive codes on the billboard and scans them. All data is submitted OTA to a back-end server, which provides the designed and qualified data to the ERP system, maintenance data for the media provider and posting data for the customer.

Results

The cutting-edge solution relies on Lavasphere®, the award winning technology of Gavitec AG – mobile digit, and turns camera phones into process-optimization tools by reading codes with a cellular phone. Lavasphere® is employed to recognize all types of standardized codes incl. 2D codes and makes sending the decoded information to a back-end server a winning and cost-effective solution in out-door advertisement (OOH).

Results

Lavasphere® software offers innovative and unlimited mobile phone applications as it reads 2D codes (Data Matrix, QR, etc) as well as traditional barcodes, easily and promptly by means of the integrated digital camera. Thus, Lavasphere® turns camera phones into universal code readers: using the mobile phone, the user can link directly to a specific web page, access services, retrieve real-time information or place orders.
