Yield Management Solution

Finally, a simple and easy to use Inventory Management system that integrates with your traffic system and not only notifies you of inventory issues, but also automatically adjusts your rate card. Yield Management sets up dynamic rate cards, min/max rates and demand curves for any period/s, days or dayparts, so that your sales team automatically has today’s rate based on demand and sellout (not last weeks sales meeting).

Our Yield Management solution supports minutes, units or special groupings of your inventory (spots, sponsorships or promos) and displays AUR’s, rates, sold/unsold units, etc. Intuitive screens provide “what if” builders, so managers can determine remaining revenue by daypart and overall at any level of sellout so managers can maximize inventory and get to budget or estimate.

You can even compare last year, this year and projected revenue, to potential revenue and budgets. All reporting is exportable in excel for extended power and portability.
