Functionalities

Distributed Workflow Management

The system takes an audio spot from its creation by the producer to the media agency, marketer and on to the publisher.

Tagging

audiobays enhances audio material, adding meta date and attributes and thus provides the ideal basis and requirements for all kinds of automation and the programmatic approach to radio and online audio.

Distribution

audiobays distributes audio content in many different ways (push/pull) and delivers it directly to business partners (radio stations, agencies, online audio providers, etc.) and third-party systems (Adserver, radio automation, etc.)

Connected

audiobays can be connected to third-party systems in the audio advertising business via state-of-the-art interfaces (campaign management, CRM, radio automation, streaming server, etc.)

State-of-the-art-technology

audiobays as SaaS is purpose-built with state-of-the-art technology and as a web portal is run entirely in the cloud.

audiobays also has an elaborate system of authorization/ access rights as well as an integrated chat function.
