Executive summary

A booking system is the operational backbone of a media agency. It records who bought what airtime, at what price, on which channel, and whether the spot actually aired.

End-to-end flow

Advertiser Brand sets campaign goals and budget
Agency Plans media, negotiates rates, creates bookings
TV Station Allocates airtime and confirms broadcast
Broadcast Commercial airs during the booked slot
Reporting Finance and analytics reconcile revenue and profit

Business purpose

Without a booking system, agencies rely on spreadsheets and disconnected tools. That creates billing errors, missed airings, and weak management reporting.

This portfolio module demonstrates how booking data flows from contract -> schedule -> daily broadcast lines -> executive dashboards - all from one SQL Server database (BOOKING_Demo).

  • Capture sales contracts and purchase terms.
  • Build monthly TV schedules by channel and program.
  • Confirm actual broadcasts (KyTu = aired spot).
  • Calculate profitability using legacy business rules.
  • Feed business intelligence dashboards for leadership.
Why it matters to recruiters

The system shows full-stack enterprise skills: legacy domain knowledge, SQL reporting, ASP.NET MVC, and executive analytics - not just CRUD screens.
