"Advertising media is an extremely difficult commodity to price. adSails calculates prices according to rational, client-defined principles that maximize the value of a company’s inventory. With this dynamic rate system at its core, our software offers ad sales operations genuine workflow automation -- from cold call to execution to analysis."
Michael Phelps, adBlocks President and Lead DeveloperWorkflow automation standardizes best practices for a sales organization. It can also provide the tools for measuring compliance. adSails summarizes data for presentation in a range of analytics that vary in scope and detail: sales activity, dollars pitched, dollars closed, sales-to-budget comparisons, and pacing reports, to name a few. Best of all, by making the job of selling easier, adSails enjoys an enviable track record of end-user acceptance.
FileMaker Server makes multi-user deployments of adSails truly scalable. FileMaker’s ability to centralize data simplifies information management and provides the foundation for adSails' complex system of user privileges to safeguard client data. It also allows for functionality unique to a multi-user environment - for example, multiple account executives selling to a single account; an order approval interface that ties together AEs, managers, business, and traffic departments; and real-time reporting.
