Steward
Easily manage your national buys
Quickly and easily download and make changes to committed inventory. You can change schedules across clients, estimates and packages. Add units at any time. Package-level changes update units automatically, saving you work.
Increase accuracy with cable networks
Electronically update your live buy with the revised network schedule. One click, and you're synchronized with the cable network system.
Electronic cable changes increases productivity and reduces discrepancies, since the changes are reflected in your system before the invoice arrives. You spend less time resolving discrepancies and more time negotiating and managing your buys.
Electronic cable changes have cut the time I spend on changes by more than 50% and have made monthly invoices much more manageable due to fewer discrepancies.
