Over the last decade Real-Time Bidding (RTB) created massive efficiency for the digital advertising marketplace in opening large volumes of inventory, driving down prices and creating the opportunity for smaller sites and apps to thrive. Today it has become a large $300B market that continues to grow at an accelerated pace with a supply chain that remains complex, fragmented, partly opaque and could be even more efficient. In a context where decisions are increasingly made by technology, traditional processes do not apply and there is a need to bring a technological solution to what is essentially a technological problem. 

 

Fiducia is a UK company with a US subsidiary headquartered in London, that has been developing the platform of TAG TrustNet, a global cross-industry initiative, involving major trade associations in the US and the UK, and taking the industry to the next level. As an always-on "industry transparency utility, TAG TrustNet is providing the tools to certify the supply chain and allow everyone to be accountable make responsible decisions and improve efficiency.

​

TAG TrustNet is enabling this by automating the reconciliation of data across the supply chain and recording it in an immutable ledger as the Shared Truth: a unified record for every singly ad running across the supply chain made available in near real-time. The recorded data can then visualised in the platform Supply Chain Monitor or exported over an open API.
