FOR PRODUCTION

See what is sold, what is due, and what is ready.

AccountScout helps production teams keep ad work moving from order to proof to approved creative to page-ready handoff without rebuilding the same details in another system.

A ProofScout queue: six status tiles counting new ads, ads in composing, ads awaiting the sales rep, ads awaiting the advertiser, ads needing changes, and ads ready to publish; a table of proofs by advertiser, description, status and sales rep; and a preview pane showing one ad proof with buttons to request changes or approve it.

The problem

Production slows down when the order and the work live apart.

  • Production has to chase sales or CSR teams for specs, assets, and copy notes.

  • Proof status lives in email threads instead of a clear queue.

  • Deadline pressure rises because nobody can see what is stuck.

WHAT DEADLINE NIGHT LOOKS LIKE

The issue, built from the ads that were actually sold.

Every booked ad on the real issue date, positioned on a page, with what is still unplaced and what is missing copy counted at the top. The question "what is stuck" stops being a walk around the building.

The PageScout page plan for an issue: a toolbar for loading runs, placing ads and paginating pages; counts of pages, placed ads, unplaced ads and ads with no copy alongside column-inch statistics; an ad listing by advertiser, section and classification; and a grid of page thumbnails with booked ads positioned on each page.
  • Placed, unplaced, and no-copy counts beside column-inch statistics
  • Ads listed by advertiser, section, and classification, straight off the orders
  • Page thumbnails showing where each booked ad has landed

What production teams get back.
