The new Adpiler platform: what’s new?

When we launched our new website and branding, we already promised the new platform was on his way. Really happy we can now launch this new platform to all of our customers. We decided to build up the platform almost from scratch. This will give us big advantages on the technical side, so future development will be made easier. The new design of the platform will better reflect the features we have and the new UX will give our users a much better experience.
