Problem
Advertising agencies often operate with a fragmented technology stack—ERP, CRM, project management, media, and creative tools that are siloed and lack a unified data view. This fragmentation hampers workflow automation, real‑time financial insight, and data‑driven decision‑making, leading to inefficiencies and reduced profitability.
Solution
Shapes + Numbers delivers an AI operating system that consolidates an agency’s disparate tools and data into a single, intelligent backbone. Their Nexus platform provides data‑infrastructure‑as‑a‑service, connecting internal systems and external third‑party data to create a unified source of truth. Built as a fully managed service, Nexus automates operational workflows and distributes intelligence across teams without requiring agencies to develop their own AI solutions. The Vector solution adds real‑time, AI‑driven financial intelligence, enabling finance teams to monitor profitability by client, project, and team, model scenarios instantly, forecast revenue and resource needs, and optimize cash flow. Together, the platform equips agencies with the infrastructure to make data‑backed decisions and improve performance.
