Sales proposals become orders with a single mouse click. If you are entering orders, they can easily and quickly be entered as new business, or modeled from previous business. Once entered, an order can be scheduled as far into the future as the schedule requires. Once an order is scheduled all spots are created, inventory and revenue reporting is updated, and the rotation and copy assignment process is fully automated, enabling flawless airing of commercials and client invoicing. The sales revision process is fully integrated into traffic, ensuring that late entry or commercial changes are immediately shown in schedules.
