Tracer has taken the step to establish a strategic partnership with Code3 in order to tackle one of the most difficult problems in today’s business operations: scattered data. This partnership is set to deliver a clear and up-to-date picture of performance by bringing together media sales commerce, and financial data into one single and unified system.
Transforming Financial Visibility and Operational Efficiency
By implementing Tracer’s platform, Code3 has significantly enhanced its financial and operational workflows. The agency has achieved a more than 300% acceleration in core financial processes while reducing reporting time by 40%. At the same time, leadership teams now benefit from real-time visibility into financial performance across client portfolios.
“Everyone talks about fragmented marketing data,” said Jeffrey Nicholson, CEO and Co-Founder of Tracer. “But that complexity ultimately shows up on the CFO’s desk across billing, forecasting, and revenue reporting. We built Tracer to answer a simple question: how is my business performing? That clarity changes how agencies run their business. Our work with Code3 shows what’s possible when agencies unify the foundation behind their data.”

From Manual Processes to Real-Time Insights
Before adopting Tracer, Code3 relied heavily on manual reconciliation and inconsistent reporting methods.The new system removes inefficiencies and instead provides standardized, real-time info which can be used by finance, operations, and management for making decisions.
Now management is instantly provided with important indicators such as revenue planning and business trends, which help them to make decisions quicker and with better information throughout the company.
“Tracer started as a reporting and analytics solution, but it’s quickly become central to how we run Code3,” said Dan Federico, Chief Financial Officer at Code3. “Through our partnership, we’ve gained real transparency into our financial and performance data, helping our teams make better business decisions and giving leadership a clearer view of how the agency is performing.”
Building a Scalable, Data-Driven Foundation
With a harmonized data infrastructure in place, Code3 is now better positioned to scale its operations while maintaining control over both agency and client performance. The unified system not only improves internal efficiency but also enhances the agency’s ability to deliver more advanced reporting and analytics capabilities to clients.
A Broader Shift Toward Unified Data Systems
The alliance between Tracer and Code3 is indicative of a broader market tendency where stand-alone agencies are looking more at integrated financial intelligence platforms. Through the conversion of scattered reporting systems into single, live data environments, companies are not only able to work more effectively but also to react quicker to the changes in the market and to stimulate more strategic, data-based development.
This partnership demonstrates how integrated analytics platforms are the new agency tools for those who want enhanced transparency, scalability, and a leading edge in the market.
