When you ask for improvements, we listen. Daktronics used your feedback to create an improved and streamlined way to work in Venus Control Suite’s Sales and Ad Grid.

NOTE: You have access to this new experience today – but you still have access to your current sales tools while you get used to the new navigation and features. You can easily switch back and forth between the new experience and the old.

Timeline

  • Now-August 22, 2023 – Access both Sales experiences
  • August 22, 2023 – Full adoption of the new Sales and Ad Grid experience

 

Here’s what’s new…

Intuitive Navigation

To simplify the way you work in Venus Control Suite, we moved Sales and Ad Grid to the Scheduling App. Go to My Apps, click on the Scheduling App, and you’ll find Sales, along with the Playlist and Media Library. You can do so much more without ever leaving the page.

 

Enhanced Features

Once you navigate to the new Sales page, you’ll have an enhanced overview of everything that’s happening in your display network.

 

The Sales landing page provides a Network Utilization screen where you can access View Ad Grid, View Sales and Create Sale buttons.

 

You can see more information at a glance, so you’ll know which accounts need attention.

  • See what weekly percentage of each display is sold, along with overall network percentage sold
  • Switch between displays, edit a sale and easily create a new sale, with simpler views to sell by exposures or percentage
  • View expiring sales, sales without a playlist and sales without media
  • Quickly see which sales are expiring in the next seven days

The new filters make it easy to search for sales by date, slot number or percentage.

 

Get started!

Start working in the new-and-improved Venus Control Suite today. Remember, you’ll still have access to the current experience until August 22, 2023.
