Chris Quinn Just Told Beeler.tech Why GAM Workflows Are Broken in 2026
Chris Quinn on Why GAM Workflows Are Broken in 2026
In a new interview published April 6 on Beeler.tech, our co-founder Chris Quinn pulled no punches: most publisher ad ops teams are still stuck in reactive mode, relying on manual processes that waste hours and leak revenue every single week.
Key problems Chris highlighted:
Teams are perpetually under-resourced while campaign volume keeps growing.
Manual daily checks have become “normal” even though they’re inefficient.
Issues are often discovered 3–5 days too late - after the revenue is already gone.
Q4 spikes expose the cracks: higher volumes, same headcount, and problems snowball fast.
As Chris put it: “Ad ops teams are focused on getting as much live as possible, and have virtually no time to hunt for things that aren’t working.”
The result? Thousands in lost impressions, missed SLAs, and burned-out teams.
The Shift High-Performing Teams Are Making Right Now
The good news is that the best teams are no longer accepting this reality.
Instead of starting the day with 47 GAM tabs and spreadsheets, they open one lightweight Chrome extension and instantly see every critical alert across Campaigns, Revenue, and Inventory - plus one-click AI troubleshooting that cuts investigation time from hours to minutes.
That tool is ProOps Ads Tracker.
What ProOps Ads Tracker Actually Delivers
Daily automated reports and color-coded alerts (red/orange flags for under-pacing, revenue drops, no ad requests, etc.)
One-click Troubleshoot Assistant (AI) that runs extra reports, inventory forecasts, and delivers root-cause analysis + fix recommendations in <2 minutes
Built-in Excel exports and saved filters
Strictly read-only service account - zero write permissions, enterprise-grade security
Multi-network support perfect for MCM partners and outsourced teams
Teams using it are saving 4–6 hours per person per week, recovering 10–20% yield on affected campaigns, and seeing 500–800% ROI within the first 30–45 days.
