AdPoint also connects to ad delivery networks such as Adazzle for automated ad booking and delivery. Lineup will be showcasing the full digital solution, which is already implemented in 33 countries and has delivered over £10bn in revenue for our customers.

Tablet Sales & Tools

Designed to exploit the rich potential of both traditional and digital media, AdPoint is fully embedded within Adobe's digital publishing suite to deliver tablet and mobile-based media kits.  All of the content richness of a digital publishing suite (DPS) application is combined with the power of AdPoint to deliver a self-contained sales tool for the modern advertising sales rep. It combines readership information, circulation, case studies and print/digital/broadcast rate cards with the full power of AdPoint's CRM and booking capabilities to create real-time inventory checks, proposals/quotes, digitally signed customer approvals, and follow-up sales activities.
