A&N Media efficiency drive |
A&N Media have upgraded their advertising production system and gone live across their portfolio of publications using the industry leading Papermule Workflow system.
The entirely web based Papermule Production Workflow solution has been integrated with the many different ad booking and editorial systems used by titles such as the Daily Mail, Metro, Evening Standard and the Mail on Sunday. The upgrade gives a consistent approach to advertising production across all titles.
Traditional methods of copy chasing often involve customer specific knowledge with notes written on print outs generated at frequent intervals. With today's reduced lead times the pressure on sourcing, repeating or producing copy within a reduced time frame can lead to inaccuracies resulting in costly refunds.
Papermule Workflow and Copy Chasing is a simple system to use, and web based, it is very easy to install across multi-sites. Investing in the system gives A&N Media a fully automated solution to advertising chasing, reception and production. Production costs will, through the use of the software, improve and mistakes are expected to be reduced. Using the same system across all titles will ensure user consistency as well as quality outputs.
Alex Murphy, PrePress Operations Manager Advertising at A&N Media said: “We have been upgrading to the web based version across all titles over the past year. The installation on paper looks complex due to the number of publications and systems we use. However, with the support and assistance of the Papermule team the overall upgrade has been relatively painless. Since going live at A&N Media with Papermule workflow it has already proved to be a sound investment with an improvement in productivity and a saving on hardware costs.”
Miles Harrison, Service Director, Papermule said: “Moving to a web based ad production solution makes sense to any publisher wanting to streamline operations and tighten up on costs. The Papermule team has been working with major publishers including A&N Media as well as creative agencies and printers for many years developing software systems to ensure their production areas deliver on time every time and that advertising customers are receiving the best possible client contact service from start to finish.”
Background
Papermule was founded in 2003 by a team of people that had worked in the prepress industry for many years. Papermule understands the importance to a publisher of accurate and fast turnaround of advertising copy. Technology has moved on considerably since the introduction of prepress software solutions in the 1980's. Since then Papermule has ensured their solutions are always at the forefront of leading technology and always with the customer in mind.
Papermule offers a full range of consulting, support and development services including the next generation of workflow and asset management solutions for companies of all sizes involved in publishing.
