About the solution
media agency interface (mai) is a web portal and a technical communication platform, purpose-built for use by media agencies and advertising customers.
mai offers providers of advertising inventory (sales houses, publishers) a direct link to their customers (to media agencies and advertisers).
The software system makes operations involving the buying and selling radio advertising easier and direct, as well the decision-making and communication processes as fast, transparent and simple as possible.
The goal of mai is to coordinate advertising campaigns and bookings online. Bookings from your campaign management and traffic system (e.g. amily) are displayed in real time to the authorized agencies.
Dates, customers, prices, audio ads, offers, bills, presentations, reports, available inventory, etc. - everything the vendor wants to show, can be discovered at a glance in the web browser.
Communication is bidirectional. Media agencies and advertising clients can transfer advertising campaigns directly and electronically to providers and, if the available inventory or packages offered can be made available by the provider, they can also be booked directly.
Via the integrated chat you can coordinate directly with your business partner, plan, book advertising and receive the invoice. Secure and fast and always by topic or campaign.
