Osmos is a composable, omnichannel retail media operating system for retailers, marketplaces and commerce businesses. It connects ad serving, audience activation, advertiser self-serve, campaign operations, billing and measurement across onsite, offsite and in-store media.
Retail media becomes harder to scale when these capabilities sit in separate systems. Osmos brings them into one operating model. Teams can deploy the complete platform or add individual apps alongside their existing technology. Every experience can be white-labelled, helping retailers retain control of their data, advertiser relationships and commercial model.
