Operators, accounts staff and sales have differing needs. Now, Pongrass has added a custom screen definition utility. Layout, content and screen interaction can be customised by user or class of user, with the click of a mouse.
When the operator retrieves a previous account, the system performs a credit check automatically. Bad credit ads are queued automatically to the account operator. Extensive help screens allow operators to find existing account details without having to enter tedious and error-prone full account numbers.
Class Ad booking shares the Pronto™ text engine with the Classified Pagination program for unprecedented interactivity. Advertising operators can preview lineage ads and semi-displays on screen in an accurate representation with all character attributes displayed, complete with rules, boxes and graphic previews. The pagination operator can even correct ads back to the advertising database.
On-line information and up-to-the-minute reports are available by revenue, lineage, product, category … indeed a complete range of reporting criteria. Reports are easily produced in-house using standard products.
Class Ad is designed for the enterprise. It supports both large newspaper and magazine chains, i.e., Multiple Company, publication, products and format. Any number of insertions per product and across products can be booked. A comprehensive contracts module handles space, frequency and dollar value agreements. Class Ad is Internationalised to handle multiple currencies, taxes and language for real wide area network capability! Extensive marketing prompts and upsell tools simplify operator training.
