    • Planners and buyers create and manage schedules
    • Creative team manages creative records
    • Creative or traffic team links multiple creative elements to a single insertion
    • Traffic team generates and sends insertion orders
    • Client Accounting team matches and clears invoices

    Communicate electronically with vendors

    Send electronic insertion orders and space reservations directly from AdBuyer, and receive back approvals or rejections. No more faxing! Approval status is automatically updated in AdBuyer.

    Conduct all transactions electronically, within the same application:

    • Send orders and receive confirmations electronically
    • View vendor comments within the worksheet
    • Request revised or missing invoices from vendors electronically
    • Communicate discrepancies between client accounting and media

    We like Web IOs. It's easy. Users can power it up and go.
