The Inventory Management is divided into seven sections:

  1. Pools: Create pools to
    • structure inventory,
    • assign access rights,
    • define fixed attributes,
    • and assign companies.
  2. Inventories: Here you find an overview of all inventory items, for example:
    • Items negotiated with publishers (incl. buying conditions)
    • bookable platform and publisher options
  3. Proposal Templates: Here you create the items you want to offer to clients.
    • They include all sales conditions, but don’t need to be aligned with a specific briefing yet.
    • They serve as a template to simplify and speed up proposal creation.
    • Proposal templates can be created directly or from inventory items:
      • Direct: without any link to a buying placement (yet)
      • From inventory items: All information from the inventory item is taken over and can be adjusted for sales conditions (e.g., price, discounts)
  4. Proposals: Overview of all proposals generated from templates. Here you see which proposals are linked to a specific campaign.
    • Proposals only become available in the campaign once you actively offer them.
    • The proposal detail view gives further information, e.g., related buying items.
    • Typical proposal types:
      • Transparent proposals (1:1): No difference between buying and selling — one-to-one mapping
      • Proposals (1:1) with margin: Buying and selling conditions differ (incl. margin)
      • Non-transparent proposals (1:N): Behind one sales proposal there can be several different buying placements
  5. Buying Items: All buying placements at a glance. Here you can:
    • view and plan your internal buying media plan (incl. technical components)
    • release and book items as needed
    • import and enter realized data to monitor and report ongoing activities
    • and use them for invoicing (feature coming soon)
  6. Technical Components: Creation and management of technical components that you can assign to your buying items (e.g., AdServing, DSP fees, etc.).
  7. Labels: Creation and management of individual labels used in inventory management for classification and filtering.
