2.73New FeatureAdServer Gateway, Ad-JusterYou know what it is like: Often publishers, agencies, and advertisers argue about having counted different AdServer data. With the integration of Ad-Juster, such disagreements are effectively avoided and transparency for all parties involved is created when using ADvendio.

Ad-Juster is a data aggregation platform that allows publishers, agencies, and ad networks to automate the comparison of advertising-relevant data (e.g. ad impressions or clicks). When connecting Ad-Juster to ADvendio you can compare multiple data sources and consolidate other types of data into reports upon customer request. To name just a few (e.g. from your customer’s media agency) and compare them with the AdServer figures even use agency data for billing.

2.73New FeatureCancellation Wizard, FinanceCross-period invoices and cancellations are now possible!
Adjustments Those adjustments to existing and, if applicable, even already invoiced campaigns had always involve involved a
large amount of manual work for the advertiser and the publisher: Campaigns have had to be
adjusted, cancellation invoices calculated and created and sent to the customer, and new
invoices have had to be generated.

ADvendio is reducing this workload to a minimum as cancellations and new bookings can
now be created across periods. For your customers this means: fewer documents, faster
campaign optimizations. For you: more time for sales-related tasks. Please visit our Wiki for Find more details here: 6.4.1 Cancel Invoice Items or a CampaignCancellation Wizard (to be deprecated with November 24 release)

Booking CalendarUntil this version the Booking Calendar it was only able to choose between two levels of detail with a fixed set of elements displayed: high and low. When using the “low” setting previously, only available, requested, and booked placements were displayed. Now you can customize the default “high” and “low” settings to directly display ALL the information that is important for your business.

2.73.1ImprovementBooking CalendarSome of our Customer sell Sponsorships not on a daily basis (from 00:00 to 23:59) but instead use off time i.e. from 5:00 pm to 4:59 pm - which would split 24h into two calendar days. In these cases ADvendio's Booking Calendar helps you to gain a better transparency: the new version allows you to decide which day is shown as booked/offered by setting the field "Booking Calendar Date Assignment" on the Campaign Item. See here how it works: 4.9.5 Sponsorship / CPD Daily booking over two calendar days

2.73.1New FeatureBooking CalendarThe Booking Calendar is one of the most powerful ADvendio features. With its help, available, reserved, and proposed advertising spaces are identified quickly and clearly. The Booking Calendar has replaced the discontinued Booking Schedule. It is just as relevant for Print and Out-of- Home-Inventory as is it for exclusive online placements. Detailed information can be found here 4.9 How to use the Booking Calendar.

Create campaigns directly in the Booking Calendar!

The Booking Calendar is great starting point for a quick availability search because you can create media campaigns based upon free advertising space directly from there. For example, if a customer calls to inquire about availabilities for a new booking, it’s now possible to set up a new campaign within minutes based upon existing availabilities while you’re still on the phone. Setting up media campaigns within ADvendio has never been quicker. Customize it now: 7.2.4 Setup Booking Calendar.
