FINDER® AdTech

No camera. No witness. No plate. Still a lead.

Some scenes give you nothing to work with. FINDER AdTech, powered by Sigilite, gives you a commercially available data source that can tell you which mobile devices were at a location during the window that matters, months or years after the fact.

Why agencies buy it

It opens cases that had run out of places to look.

A burglary series in a neighborhood with no cameras. A shooting in a parking lot at two in the morning with no witnesses who will talk. A body found six months after the fact. In each of those, the traditional sources are already exhausted.

Commercial advertising data is a different source entirely, and it is historical, which means the scene does not have to be fresh. It can also work the other direction and eliminate a device that was never there, which is worth as much to a case as adding a name to it.

> use scenes with no camera or witness
> range historical, not limited to recent
> adds devices present in the window
> eliminates devices that were not

How it works

Three steps, starting from the case you already have.

AdTech runs in the Sigilite system. FINDER is where you establish the location worth asking about.

Establish the location in FINDER

Work the case in FINDER as normal. Reports, plate reads, pawn transactions, and bulletins give you the address and the time frame that matter.

Run it in the AdTech system

Take that address and window into the Sigilite platform, define the area, and query the commercial advertising data for devices present.

Bring the results back to the case

What you develop goes back into the investigation, where it can be worked against everything else your agency and the network already hold.

Training comes with it

The system is separate from FINDER, so onboarding includes getting your people competent in it rather than handing over a login.

The data

Commercially available, not collected by you or by us.

Advertising identifiers

Mobile apps generate advertising identifiers for their own commercial purposes. That data is bought and sold on the open market, and Sigilite sources it from commercial providers.

Area and window

You define the geography and the time period. Results are bounded by the question you asked rather than returned as a general lookup.

Devices, not names

What comes back are device identifiers. Turning one into a person is investigative work, done under your agency’s policy and the legal process that applies in your jurisdiction.

AdTech is an add-on requiring a separate subscription. It is enabled per agency and per user, never on by default, and queries are logged with a named user, a timestamp, and a stated purpose.
