So that AdDesk can embed seamlessly into your business workflows and operations, it integrates with many industry-leading platforms, including:
✓ Booking platforms: AdPoint, AdTaker, Atex, CCI, BrightMedia, Salesworks, Shuttleworth, Sii
✓ Preflight/checking tools: Asura, Callas, Twist
✓ Planning tools: MediaPlanner, Journal Designer
✓ MediaSupply Chain Vendors: AdFast, AdStream, Specle, Qmuli
✓ Publishing Platforms: Atex, Censhare, DTi, Google, Methode, Naviga, Passendo
✓ Creative Tools: Supports all Applications (plugins for Adobe InDesign, InCopy)
Supply chain vendors (AdStream, Specle, Qmuli) can show their users, in real-time, advertising placements that partaking publishers are expecting from them.
PADN streamlines and automates many of the existing copy chasing tasks - from identifying the supply chain and sharing the data to confirming the delivery schedule. This takes tasks away from both the publisher and media house. PADN updates records in corresponding AdDesk platforms giving the publisher visibility of the process.
Since PADN shares unique advertising referencing numbers, copy supplied via the PADN data route (via the vendors AdStream, Specle and Qmuli) will be automatically processed on reception and in most cases simply queued for human approval and automated release to the publishing platform.
With more than 100 years of combined experience providing streamlined workflow solutions, Papermule is the UK’s leading digital asset management provider for the media and publishing industry.

Our default database is MySQL however we have many installs at companies where we support Oracle, MS SQLServer and Sybase.
All our solutions are accessible from a WEB client with the exception of MediaPlanner which still also supports a think PC Client.
