Introduction
The Delivery module allows you to send ads around the world and, before your files get to where they need to be, we check them against regional specifications for over 116 countries, making sure ad content is delivered to the highest possible quality standards, guaranteed. This article will describe in detail how to create an order for an ad delivery on The Adstream Platform. If you’re already familiar with orders you may want to watch our Creating an Order video which provides a quick overview of the new system.
When logged into The Adstream Platform you can see all the modules available in the bar at the top of the screen, including Delivery.
Here you can see all your live orders and you can click on the different tabs to see draft, held and completed orders. For more information see Deliveries - Overview.
