Each potential partner may utilize different technical protocols for dealing with OpenRTB, Deal ID’s, category definitions and many other attributes. As real-time technology evolves at the speed of light, the effort to continually update and maintain these direct partner integrations is challenging at best, but increasingly becoming nearly impossible. Let’s be honest—your engineers could be doing so much more with their time.
The Integration Challenge
A single direct RTB integration can take months, even years. Not only is extensive time required for assessing ROI, negotiating terms, waiting for technical prioritization, there is also significant fragmentation at the engineering level.
Too Many Tech Languages
Obstacles to Rapid Scale
Trying to enter new geographic markets or expand into other media channels such as mobile, video, or native, is on every savvy ad tech marketers mind. The direct integration process, both commercially and technically, becomes a major bottleneck to scaling trading activity and growing revenues. The race to integrate with as many partners as possible is dramatically hindering the ecosystem from more advanced technological progress.
BidSwitch translates each partner’s language into a universal one.

WHAT IS IT
How BidSwitch Works.
TECH SPEAK
BidSwitch connects a complex range of technology platforms, protocols and data signals via a proxy layer. All variations across Supply platform processes and protocols are remapped to an OpenRTB-compliant protocol that Demand platforms can utilize with a BidSwitch integration. We normalize all the complex technical interactions with our carefully selected partners, enabling efficiencies and access to a myriad of programmatic platforms through a single integration.
HUMAN SPEAK
BidSwitch translates each partner’s unique platform “tech language” into a universal one. We proactively maintain the complex, technical translations involved in direct Supply/Demand integrations so our partners can “speak” and work seamlessly. Like a network switch, a single integration with BidSwitch opens the door to a multitude of pathways that would take years to build independently.

BidSwitch Feature Spotlight: SmartSwitch
SmartSwitch solves a very big programmatic market challenge.
The Challenge
Access to inventory
With direct, one-to-one DSP to SSP connections, DSPs are not guaranteed to receive access to all SSP inventory. SSPs will reduce volumes of inventory sent to a DSP for a variety of reasons including infrequent bidding, inability to afford cost of listening, or limited spend capacity. Once an SSP throttles back the bidstream, this also limits access to new inventory.
A traditional, non top-tier DSP may be unable to listen to the entire market stream available, resulting in Random inventory, Un-optimized bidstream and Missed desired inventory.
The Solution
Intelligent routing technology
BidSwitch receives the entire bidstream from 150+ Supply partners.
SmartSwitch combines this data with proprietary machine learning to continually assess a DSP’s historic bidding and winning patterns. As a DSP’s optimal buying pattern evolves consistently over time, SmartSwitch calibrates multiple times a day. It intelligently routes, filters and delivers bid requests, optimized towards this pattern, completely customized and unique to each DSP. Save time and money listening to the bidstreams most relevant to you.
