Advantage Report Writer


The Advantage Report Writer continues to grow and provides new ways for Ad Agencies and Marketing Firms to gather information and produce reports in more formats than ever before.  

The Dynamic and Advanced Report Writers allow users to create reports from pre-defined data sets, but additionally, the Report Writer is being embedded in key applications such as Service Fee Analysis and Employee Utilization where additional features are available.

 Pre-defined formats include online drill-downs. Create and edit your own formats. Share with staff members instantly, and share with clients through the client portal.  

Attend June Webinars for more information on the Report Writer! gotoadvantage.com/portal

Advantage makes Fee Reconciliation a breeze in their latest release of blue!


Retainer Fees, PR Fee, Creative Fee, Social Media Fee, you name it.  Create “Fee Types” for any contract and let Advantage do the rest.  Billing, Reconciliation, Analysis, and Profit reporting are automatic.

Service Fee Types allow for reporting fees billed and time or commissions accumulated by the new ‘service fee type’ category.  The service fee type category can be set strategically on jobs and at other levels to provide for many different types of reporting.  This new feature allows you to bill and track multiple fee types together or separately.

More Information on the Service Fee results grid includes the ability to ‘drill down’ on any job or function to see the fees billed, details, and employees that make up the service fee time postings.   

Also included is a built-in Report Writer.  This means that you can create and edit reports from within the Service Fee Reconciliation module!  The same features you see in the popular Dynamic Report Writer are available here, providing you with more reporting flexibility than ever before. 

Service Fee Reconciliation is available in a beta version of blue, v6.50.09.  Customer feedback is appreciated, as always!  Attend free Webinars this month for more information.  Check out the schedule at www.gotoadvantage.com/portal.
