The social media giant said it had "rebuilt" Atlas from the ground up in a bid to reach out to people across devices and bridge the gap between online impressions and offline purchases.
Erik Johnson, head of Atlas, said: "People spend more time on more devices than ever before.
"This shift in consumer behaviour has had a profound impact on a consumer’s path to purchase, both online and in stores".
Atlas would, he said, deliver a "people-based marketing" solution that would help marketers reach people across devices, platforms and publishers.
Facebook said Atlas would work with a key group of partners across "search, creative, management and publishers" to "bring people-based measurement to more channels and platforms with seamless integrations".
Instagram, for example, would be enabled with Atlas to allow it to measure and verify ad impressions.
