One of the largest projects I’ve ever undertaken, an advertising order entry system that expanded into a full-on production management system for my current employer. Most of it’s features center on print advertising, but it has insert tracking as well as online ad functionality. At the time of writing AOE2 is being retired soon, but it’s among the projects I feel the most proud of as I was its principal author. Constructed with a mess of custom and 3rd-party modules atop Drupal 6.
A list of general functions it provides:
- Integrated with billing system through the use of feed exports.
- Automating repetitive ad production processes.
- Facilitates workflow with automatic emails and notifications. Such as ad proof notifications and reminders when some action is needed. With the aide of a 3rd party solution, it can even call a customer when their proof is ready.
- Provides production reporting, such as what ads are ready to be plated.
- Integrated local scripts provide additional functionality.
