How We Built a Mobile App That Turns Cars into Smart, Earning Advertising Platforms

In today’s world, every touchpoint is an opportunity — including the cars people drive every day. A forward-thinking company approached VENTRAL GROUP with an innovative idea: allow car owners to earn money by branding their vehicles with ads, while giving advertisers a data-driven way to track impressions and reach.

The Challenge: Tracking Advertising in Motion

The concept was simple in theory: car owners get paid for driving with branded wraps, and advertisers get exposure. The challenge? How to accurately track how many people actually saw each advertisement and calculate fair payments for both sides.

The client needed a robust, scalable solution that could:

  • Track daily kilometers and driving routes
  • Estimate ad impressions based on location (city, suburbs, countryside)
  • Manage payments to car owners and charges to advertisers
  • Provide advertisers with a user-friendly portal to view stats and manage campaigns

Our Solution: A Complete Mobile and Web Ecosystem

VENTRAL GROUP delivered a full technical solution, including:

1. Mobile Application (iOS & Android)

  • The app tracks daily kilometers traveled using GPS and integrates mapping APIs for location accuracy.
  • It estimates ad impressions based on traffic density, location type, and driving patterns.
  • The system automatically calculates earnings for car owners and fees for advertisers.
  • Notifications and dashboards keep car owners informed about performance and payouts.

2. Ad Manager Portal for Advertisers

  • Advertisers can log in to see real-time campaign statistics, including impressions, distance covered, and projected ROI.
  • Campaign management tools allow brands to launch, pause, or modify campaigns, targeting specific locations or audience types.
  • Historical data and analytics help optimize future ad placements and partnerships.

3. Seamless Integration & Automation

  • Payments and charges are calculated automatically based on tracked data.
  • The system ensures accuracy, transparency, and scalability, supporting dozens of campaigns simultaneously.
  • Built with performance and security in mind, the infrastructure scales as more cars and advertisers join the platform.

The Outcome: A Win-Win for Car Owners and Brands

With this solution:

  • Car owners gain new revenue streams for their daily commutes.
  • Advertisers gain measurable, hyper-local visibility and actionable insights.
  • The client now has a full-stack product ready to scale across cities and regions.
