Seamless Invoicing of Time-based Activities

For customers who invoice design work, consulting services, or other activities on an hourly, daily, or weekly basis we have extended the inventory types and invoicing possibilities available to manage these within ADvendio. With the addition of timesheets and activities, as well as a new Cost per Hour (CPH) billing category, customers can easily create invoices on time-based activities. Simply set up how you want to manage your timesheets and our automated invoicing processes will not only create invoices based on activities in the relevant time period but also link those activities to your invoice items for enhanced reporting and tracking capabilities.

Book Campaign Ready Media Across All Channels

With the latest improvement to the check availability function within ADvendio, it is now possible to check your digital inventory availability directly from the media search feature to enhance the user experience when working in ADvendio. This simple update allows you to save time on campaign creation by showing only products that are available for booking as you plan your campaigns. With our latest update, you are now able to check the availability & exclusivity of your digital and non-digital inventory for seamless cross-media ad campaign planning & booking.

Enhanced media selection based on target audience

Another exciting new feature we are proud to unveil from our summer release is our media search plus. This feature helps customers to book campaign-ready inventory more natively in the planning process. Allowing customers to input the target audience or interest groups that they would like to target for their campaign and displaying available inventory that matches search criteria to help reach the desired audience. Real-time inventory availability and matching filters make this process quick & easy for seamless media selection. ADvendio’s 2.128 release saw the implementation of target group filtering options to enable customers to book media based on target audience information for example health & wellbeing or sports fans.

It is now possible to use Salesforce flows within ADvendio to better suit your business processes, particularly for checking the availability of inventory and submitting inventory to connected ad servers. Customers can now use this feature very dynamically to create an order stop flow or to set up validations before campaign items can be booked by users. This update strengthens our self-service advertising portal offering by making further features & processes from the core ADvendio solution available to self-service users for full process ad management via our innovative self-service infrastructure.

Lightning Import Planning Center & Enhanced Scheduling Interface

Another exciting new addition this month has been the lightning import planning centre release to support data connections between ADvendio and your external systems, including ad servers and exchanges. The import planning centre allows you to easily manage all aspects of your programmatic and delivery data including setting and checking schedules, creating workflows to use the data in ADvendio once an import has been completed, and creating detailed reports based on this information.

The updated interface makes this process easy to set up and provides users with a clear view of key information such as sync status, last import, and next planned import to ensure all your third-party data is available in ADvendio when you need it.
