Client & product

Douply is a digital marketing agency located in the Netherlands.
They needed an analytics platform to provide advertising reports, evaluate marketing campaigns, and improve the effectiveness of those campaigns.

Our client wanted this platform to be intuitive, presenting data in a concise, user-friendly manner. It also had to provide a large number of filtering and sorting tools to make data extraction seamless.

Challenges

The most challenging task was implementing the API connections in a way that would not exceed Google, Facebook, and other services’ tolerances, and would not result in a ban. Marketers needed the ability to see stats in a convenient dashboard, create custom reports on the fly and export them in a suitable file format. Additionally, we heavily optimized the database and made sure that it could be processed in real-time even under a lot of stress.

Job done

Our team built a reporting system and ensured smooth integration of data from Google Analytics, AdWords, Facebook, and other major advertising providers through their APIs. To prevent bans, we used official API keys and diversified requests.

To solve the other issues, we designed a way to display the maximum amount of data on a single screen. We also came up with a simple yet functional report template editor. Finally, to resolve performance issues, we transferred data to NoSQL — a primitive yet efficient database.
