TRAFFIQ, Advantage Team to Streamline Ordering, Billing and Paying
New York, NY & Mooresville, NC—October 28, 2009—As part of its ongoing commitment to creating cost and time efficiencies for advertisers and agencies, digital media planning, buying and management platform TRAFFIQ® (www.traffiq.com) has partnered with The Advantage Software Company, Inc. (www.gotoadvantage.com) to streamline media buys into their agency management enterprise system.
TRAFFIQ advertisers can with one click now export a file that details the cost data for an entire TRAFFIQ campaign, and import that file directly into Advantage, one of the industry’s most widely used agency management systems. Advertisers can make buys on hundreds of publishers, track and reconcile the costs on their own accounting system, and forego individually recreating each new line item for new orders. This dramatically reduces the time it takes to process media buys and related invoices using the TRAFFIQ media management and buying console, and minimize errors often made in manual data entry.
“Advantage lends yet another important enhancement to TRAFFIQ’s platform and further enables us help advertisers be more productive and profitable,” said Mark Kahn, TRAFFIQ’s chief executive. “We are constantly on the lookout for ways to make our turnkey platform even more time and cost efficient and Advantage’s solution mapped perfectly with that mission.”
This partnership marks Advantage’s sixth media integration and its second Internet-specific deployment reinforcing its reputation of being one of the most robust and flexible systems on the market today.
“TRAFFIQ shares our vision of providing end-to-end agency management services and that made it a logical choice as a strategic partner,” said Advantage president, Ellen Coulter. “Many of our agencies are migrating a larger share of their buying online and our shared clients will recognize a more streamlined workflow and immediate benefits in billing and reporting.”

TRAFFIQ puts media buyers in direct contact with publishers, and allows them to negotiate their own purchases…New opportunities abound for all, culminating in a centralized platform that offers billing, reporting, and free ad serving for its users.
Buyers can use it as a planning tool to connect with well-known publishers and identify and familiarize themselves with untried sites, while publishers can get their foot in the door with agencies they don’t yet work with.
