Challenges

  • Tracking campaigns and clients in Excel files and scattered messages, with details lost between team members.
  • Managing out-of-home (OOH) billboard inventory and available spaces by hand causes booking conflicts and errors.
  • Slow preparation of quotes and invoices, and difficulty complying with electronic invoicing (ZATCA).
  • Hard to pull digital campaign results (Google Ads, Meta, TikTok) together into one report for the client.
  • Dependence on foreign SaaS tools with expensive monthly subscriptions that don't fit the local market.

Systems you can build

  • An internal campaign management system (advertising CRM): clients + quotes + delivery stages in one place.
  • A booking dashboard for out-of-home (OOH) inventory and ad spaces with an availability calendar and conflict detection.
  • An external client portal: the client sees their campaign and its reports and approves designs online.
  • A unified reporting dashboard that pulls digital advertising numbers from the platforms via API keys.
  • Automation for ZATCA e-invoicing and sending notifications over WhatsApp and SMS.
  • A payment gateway for clients (mada, Apple Pay, Moyasar / HyperPay) to collect campaign payments.

Internal agency operations platform (Ops)

Build me an internal operations system for an advertising agency that manages the full campaign lifecycle from lead to delivery and final report. It covers client files, contracts and delivery stages (concept, design, approval, publication, report) with a kanban board, task assignment to team members and deadline tracking. Apply fine-grained roles and permissions (RBAC): director, account manager, designer, accountant, with secure login, two-factor authentication and an audit log for every change. Design the database indexed and ready for multi-tenancy (every agency isolated), with caching for read-heavy dashboards and task queues for heavy operations such as report generation and image processing. Make the interface English-first with Arabic support, fast, responsive on mobile and compliant with accessibility standards. Add full security: encryption of sensitive data, rate limiting, protection against common attacks, and automatic regular backups. Add monitoring, analytics and logs to track performance and errors. Deliver it production-ready with a professional user experience, tests and short documentation.

Smart client portal for approvals and reports

Build me a professional external client portal where every advertiser logs in to follow their campaigns moment by moment, approve designs or request changes with comments pinned directly on the image/video, and review performance reports, invoices and payments. Give each client a secure account limited to their own campaigns, with secure login and temporary invitation links for their team members. Design the architecture to withstand significant growth: distribute design and video assets over a content delivery network (CDN), cache pages, index the database, and use queues to process file uploads and video transcoding. Add instant notifications inside the portal and over WhatsApp and SMS at every step (new design, report ready, invoice due). Make the experience English-first with Arabic support, fully responsive on mobile and accessible. Apply strong security: encryption, rate limiting, protection against malicious file uploads, and backups. Add analytics on client behaviour inside the portal and monitoring logs. Deliver it production-ready with tests and short documentation.

Campaign and reporting automation engine

Build me an automation engine that unifies digital campaign performance and automates client communication. It pulls data periodically via API keys from Google, Meta, TikTok and Snap (keys in the secret store), stores it in an indexed database, and generates unified reports per client (impressions, clicks, cost, conversions, return on ad spend). Add scheduled jobs that send the weekly report automatically over WhatsApp or email, and smart alerts when budget is exceeded or performance drops. Rely on task queues for heavy pull and aggregation operations so the interface isn't affected, with automatic retries when a platform fails and caching of results. Apply roles and permissions for who runs the automation and who can view the data, with secure login. Make the dashboard English-first with Arabic support. Add full security: key encryption, rate limiting, protection and backups, with monitoring, analytics and logs for every run. Design the architecture to scale to hundreds of clients and ad accounts. Deliver it production-ready with tests and short documentation.

Mobile app for the field representative (OOH)

Build me a mobile app (Expo) for field representatives who verify and document the installation of out-of-home (OOH) billboards. It lets the rep open the list of boards assigned to them on a map, take a proof-of-installation photo with location and date attached automatically, and update the board's status (installed, damaged, vacant). Add sync that works offline and uploads the data when the network returns, and image upload through a processing queue to a content delivery network (CDN). Connect it to a backend (API) and an indexed database shared with the inventory management system, with roles and permissions (rep, supervisor) and secure login. Make the interface English-first with Arabic support and accessible. Apply security: encryption, rate limiting, upload protection and backups. Add analytics on rep performance and completion rate, plus monitoring and error logs. Design the backend to scale to thousands of boards and reps. Deliver it production-ready and Expo Go compatible, with tests and short documentation.

Self-service digital ad network

Build me a self-service digital advertising platform that lets advertisers create their campaigns, target audiences, buy space and manage budget themselves, with an ad server that picks the right ad and serves it in real time on participating sites and apps. Focus on an architecture that withstands millions of users and millions of serve requests daily: an indexed database, sharded when needed, multi-layer caching for targeting decisions, task queues for counting impressions and clicks and for billing, and a content delivery network (CDN) for ad assets, with a design that handles peak load at low latency. Add real-time analytics dashboards for the advertiser (impressions, clicks, click-through rate, cost) and basic click-fraud prevention. Apply roles and permissions (advertiser, publisher, platform admin) and secure login, plus a local payment gateway (mada, Apple Pay, Moyasar or HyperPay) for topping up balance with ZATCA-compliant e-invoicing. Make the interface English-first with Arabic support and accessible. Add full security: encryption, rate limiting, protection against attacks and backups, plus comprehensive monitoring, analytics and logs (observability). Deliver it production-ready with tests and short documentation.

Questions about Advertising, Digital and Traditional

With Uttra you build an internal campaign management system (an advertising CRM = the screen from which you run every client and campaign) and describe it in your own everyday words. It brings together:• Each client's file: their details, contracts and past campaigns. • Campaign stages (concept → design → approval → publication → report) with an owner for each stage. • Quotes, tasks and deadlines in one place instead of scattered files. The code becomes yours — you edit it by describing changes or export it to GitHub — and you stop paying for off-the-shelf tool subscriptions.

You build an OOH inventory booking dashboard with every board, its location, size, price and photo. The system:• Shows an availability calendar per board and blocks double bookings automatically. • Links each booking to its client, campaign and display period. • Warns you before any contract expires so you can renew or re-offer the space. You can add a map (via a maps key in the secret store) to see the boards laid out geographically.

You build an external client portal (a screen the client logs into that belongs to them) where they see:• Their campaign's status and stages moment by moment. • Proposed designs, approving them or requesting a change with one click. • Performance reports, invoices and payments. That saves hours of daily messaging, gives the client a professional impression, and everything is documented with a clear reference.

You build a unified reporting dashboard that pulls each platform's numbers via API keys (kept safely in the secret store). One screen shows impressions, clicks, cost and conversions per client. You can schedule (automate) the report so it refreshes and goes out to the client automatically every week over WhatsApp or email, instead of assembling it by hand each time.

With Uttra you automate the whole chain:• The quote is generated from a ready template with your board and service prices. • When the client approves, a ZATCA-compliant electronic invoice is issued. • An automatic notice goes to the client over WhatsApp or SMS with the campaign start date and payments due. The built-in scheduling runs these repeating jobs without manual intervention, freeing your team for creative work instead of paperwork.

You connect a payment gateway in Uttra via an API key (mada, Apple Pay, Moyasar or HyperPay) inside the client portal. The client pays the campaign deposit or scheduled instalments securely, and the system records the payment and updates the invoice status automatically. Licensed services connect with their own key, and Uttra builds the interface and logic around them.

Foreign agency management and reporting tools cost monthly subscriptions in dollars that grow with every user and every client. With Uttra:• You build the system once and own its code (export / GitHub), with no escalating monthly fees. • You tailor it to your exact workflows instead of adapting yourself to a ready-made tool. • You cancel several subscriptions (CRM + invoicing + reporting + client portal) and unify them in one system you own. The positioning is simple: goodbye to rented technology — you build and own instead of paying monthly rent.

Start with whatever hurts your daily work most, which is usually the internal campaign management system. Describe it in your own words: I want a screen where I follow my clients, their campaigns and the delivery stages, and Uttra builds it. Once it settles:• Add the external client portal for approvals and reports. • Then e-invoicing automation and WhatsApp notifications. • And finally the OOH inventory dashboard and unified digital reporting. Step by step, each system building on the one before it without redoing everything from scratch.

Scalability is an architectural matter built in from day one, and Uttra can apply it. Ask explicitly for these elements in your description:• A database indexed on the most-searched fields (client, campaign, date), and sharded/partitioned as the data volume grows. • Caching for dashboards and reports that are read often, so the database isn't hit on every request. • Task queues for heavy operations (report generation, pulling platform data, image processing) running in the background without freezing the interface. • A content delivery network (CDN) for design and video assets so they open fast for any client anywhere. Also make it multi-tenant (every agency/client isolated with their own data) so it can serve many without mixing. You start simple and add these layers as load rises, and the code is yours to develop whenever you need.

The key is safe separation of secrets and permissions:• Each platform's API keys are stored in Uttra's secret store (encrypted), never written into the code and never shown in the interface. • Use read-only tokens for reporting — that's enough; don't request broader permissions than necessary. • Apply rate limiting and respect each platform's limits so your account isn't suspended, with automatic retries on failure. • Let the pull run through a scheduled background queue that stores the results, so you're not calling the platforms every time a report is opened. Add an audit log showing who accessed which data and when, and RBAC permissions defining who can see which client's accounts. That way you connect everything safely and the data stays protected and isolated per client.

Handle large files intelligently, for both performance and protection:• Uploads go through a processing queue that compresses images and transcodes video in the background, so the client doesn't wait and the interface stays fast. • Assets are distributed over a content delivery network (CDN) so they render quickly for any client, with cached previews. • On security: validate every file's type and size, scan it against malicious uploads, and use signed, time-limited links to reach assets instead of exposed URLs. • Apply rate limiting on uploads and regular backups of assets and data. That way the client gets a fast, professional experience, you can be confident files are protected and organised, and the system withstands simultaneous uploads from many clients.
