<article class="article">

  <p class="intro-p">Invian (the technology arm of THE LED) is one of the most complete OOH/DOOH technology stacks in Latin America. With 10 integrated systems, NucleOOH for campaign management, Invian Metrics for IoT audience measurement, Nexus for data integration with Logan (400 million+ devices), and programmatic integrations with Adsmovil and other SSPs/DSPs, Invian equips screen networks with cutting-edge technology. IMU, one of the world's largest OOH groups, operates 16,000+ faces on the platform.</p>

  <p>But Invian is a <strong>technology stack for screens</strong> — not a media owner ERP. CMS, player, metrics, programmatic, and automated POP handle the screen layer. Who handles the business layer — CRM, commercial proposals, static proof, finance, invoicing, commissions, media kit, marketplace? Hivestr. This article shows why both coexist, but Hivestr is the missing system.</p>

  <div class="callout">
    <div class="c-label">Quick answer</div>
    <p>Invian is a reference in OOH/DOOH network technology: CMS, player, IoT audience metrics, programmatic integration, and Nexus for planning data. It's not an ERP: no CRM with pipeline, no interactive proposals for direct sales, no finance with invoicing, no rep commissions, no interactive media kit, no embeddable map, no agency marketplace. Hivestr is the complete ERP — inventory (OOH + DOOH + TV + radio), CRM, proposals with analytics, proof, finance, media kit, map, and marketplace. Invian handles the screen. Hivestr handles the business.</p>

  <div class="reasons">
    <div class="reason-card"><span class="num">NUCLEOOH</span><h5>Campaign management</h5><p>Communication hub between media owners and advertisers. Goes beyond CMS: centralizes campaigns, inventory availability, audience segmentation filters, and advertiser self-service.</p></div>

  <div class="check-box">
    <div class="cb-title">What Invian doesn't do for commercial and financial operations</div>
    <ul>
      <li><strong>CRM with direct sales pipeline.</strong> NucleOOH connects media owners to advertisers via campaign hub. But a sales funnel with stages, deal history, and structured follow-up for direct sales doesn't exist.</li>
      <li><strong>Interactive proposal for direct sales.</strong> Nexus enables planning with audience data. But proposals with investment, format mix, shareable link, and online client approval? No.</li>
      <li><strong>Photographic proof for static OOH.</strong> POP automates proof for digital screens. But a photo book for billboards, frontlights, and highway panels? No.</li>
      <li><strong>Client finance.</strong> No service invoices, no billing, no receivables, no rep commissions.</li>
      <li><strong>TV and radio.</strong> Focuses on OOH/DOOH and retail media.</li>
      <li><strong>Interactive media kit on the owner's site.</strong> Nexus gives agencies inventory visibility within the Nexus platform — not a media kit on the owner's domain with click analytics.</li>
      <li><strong>Embeddable map with analytics.</strong> No embed map on the owner's site.</li>
      <li><strong>Agency marketplace integrated to finance.</strong> Nexus facilitates agency access to inventory. But the sale doesn't auto-reserve the point or update finance.</li>
    </ul>
