Multiple Station Capabilities
Consolidation, automation, and a whole new way of doing business in radio leaves most traffic systems out of date. But Visual Traffic is flexible enough to perform in virtually any type situation.
V.T. offers multi-station capabilities from one location, managing station combos, trombos, LMA’s, and duopolies with ease. In fact, V.T. can effectively handle up to 128 different stations on just one system.
All of Visual Traffic’s functions can be manipulated to accommodate station splits in billing, accounts receivable, and commission rates, as well as combined station statements.

A Simple Log
With a visual, on-screen approach to log creation and maintenance, Visual Traffic makes on-air scheduling easy for even the most complex station format or multi-user group.
Starting with the avails and log events, V.T. marries the template with orders to create an easily manageable on-line log. Scheduling priority is totally user-defined, while simple on-screen click-and-edit provides step-by-step log formation. Additionally, the unique log inquiry lets you search instantly for order and customer information right from the on-screen log.
V.T.’s custom icons help you identify specially-formatted broadcast days for weekdays, weekends, or holidays, while the scheduler continually prepares the logs and allows bumped spots to be rescheduled by a simple drag-and-drop.

- Search for order and customer info from the on-screen log.
- Reschedule "bumped" spots individually using "drag-and-drop."
- Logs can be subject to last minute changes at any time.
Order Entry
The transition from contract to invoice is effortless, as Visual Traffic begins when you start a sales order. The order interacts with log events and avails to create the basic log, and the order’s spot pattern can be used to build flights, rotations, and specific schedules. Order numbers, generated manually or automatically, become the invoice number to produce a seamless audit trail. The invoices are even created automatically when logs are accepted.
V.T. is so versatile that it also extends this flexibility to multi-station groups when generating reports, invoices and statements, as well as when calculating station income splits. Obviously, V.T. is the most flexible, fully integrated traffic system available.

- Order numbers system-generated or user-generated.
