Ignite OAx is 100 percent cloud-based software, which will be included with every new Watchfire billboard, and will allow owners to sort and categorize every face available, whether digital or static, indoor or outdoor, for maximum sales and operational efficiency.

"Ignite OAx is more than a customer relationship management (CRM) solution. It's software for your entire billboard business," said Darrin Friskney, Watchfire's vice president of digital outdoor. "With this platform, all functions of running your out of home business are integrated. It's an intuitive platform that will save billboard operators time and money, provide the convenience of a single cloud-based software platform, and help them maximize sales opportunities and revenue. OAx is exclusive to Watchfire, and is included with your billboard purchase or available as a stand-alone software package for operators who may not yet be using digital, or are using digital from another manufacturer. Ignite OAx is one more way Watchfire makes it easier to run your business."

With Ignite OAx, sales managers and staff will have a real-time view of availability and will be able to streamline the process from proposal to contract and campaign creation. Operations staff can manage tasks related to either static or digital faces. Finance departments can review the performance of any board and use OAx data to integrate directly with its accounting system.

The software is designed with prompts to ensure a consistent workflow. Once a proposal is generated and accepted, automated tasks ensure everyone on the team knows what needs to be done, and when. User-defined access levels give everyone the information they need to complete their tasks. Integrated functions connect calendars and email to keep every team member informed, and reports on availability and rates can be exported to accounting programs for invoicing and financial management.
