: Order Management
All the campaign details and orders are registered in this module, including budgets, product codes, discounts and preferential positions.
: Planning
The Planning Module lies at the very heart of SPOT. This is where the commercials are spread manually or automatically in the available breaks. This module comprises a wide range of variables, such as programming, available seconds and ratings. The Graphic Planning Matrix enables the user to review the inventory at a glance.
: Traffic Management
The commercial tapes are managed in this module. Furthermore the sequence of commercials within a break is determined, the daily Play list is generated and the As-run log processed.
: Finance and Billing
This is where the invoices are generated on the basis of the scheduled commercials. The turnover can be analysed in different ways. The module can be linked to external account systems if required.
: Report
This module consists of over one hundred different reports, providing detailed insight into broadcasting schedules, turnover and inventory.
: Programming
This module manages the programming, the rate cards, commercial breaks and ratings.
: Security
Access to SPOT and to specific SPOT channels and/or options are managed in this module.
: Audit
This module provides insight into completed transactions, such as insertions and changes entered in SPOT.
: Ratings
This module manages the ratings for television and radio. The user can work with ratings for different demographic groups. Forecasts can be calculated or imported. The advanced SPOT Optimiser 3.0 raises the efficiency of the available inventory on the basis of the ratings. SPOT Optimiser 3.0 is also available separately for sales organisations that want to optimise their existing system. A small investment is all it takes to raise your turnover considerably with SPOT Optimiser 3.0.
