"Everything is within sight on the screen, so I don't have to search for controls.  The AcuityAds Documentation Center also provides information that I can share with clients to help them understand more about programmatic. This saves my team time, and allows for a more fluid relationship with my clients."

Users will benefit immediately from new features like inventory forecasting as well as a customizable dashboard which will be released in the coming weeks.  These new features build on AcuityAds' signature and industry leading 60 second refresh rate of data, and the ability to create built-in, customizable revenue streams.  Further, the platform engine itself has been completely redesigned & re-architected to facilitate faster processing and increased scalability.  New platform elements will enable marketers to create a more seamless customer experience and deliver on their transparency needs.
