WebProof's “Newspaper Solution” is a full-scale advertisement handling system which quickly sequences each ad registered in your booking system through your entire design/approval/production process. And it's all done over the Internet in a Web browser, so any step can be performed down the hall, across town, or around the world - and without unweildy emails!
That's why WebProof is known as the most efficient proofing solution on the market. WebProof clients talk of labor savings of 25% - allowing effort to be moved to increasing ad sales! Let us demonstrate how WebProof's ad handling solution can work for you! Contact us now. Newspaper Solution works together with any process software your newspaper already has in production, yet requires no duplicated effort. A high-level overview visibly shows where the ad is in the sequence to everyone involved - ad consultant, graphics artist, production team, sales, even the client!
How does WebProof do it? - You pre-define your design/approval/production sequence - including loops.
- XML integration lets your ad booking system initiate new ad projects in WebProof - with the same name and details!
- Sales can start by uploading a rough sketch, right in the client's office!
- They and subsequent reviewers can mark up that version with visual “sticky notes” and attached image or text files too.
- Graphics people then view the adjudicated ad to produce and upload the next version, and the cycle repeats until final approval.
- Each next person in line - no matter where in the world they are - can start the second the previous step is marked complete. WebProof even notifies them by email or SMS!
- When the ad is ready, WebProof initiates production through your own preferred preflight tool (like Pitstop or Asura) and attaches error reports to the ads for the next designated person.
- WebProof then automatically moves the file to print.
What do you gain?
- Inherent emptying of e-mail boxes, FTP directories, portals and MedieNet. All materials for ads and the ads themselves are placed in WebProof - once.
- Each user is guaranteed to have the latest version and all current comments - no wasted effort on the wrong version or negated comments. Users can still see previous versions and pixel comparisons. Knowledge is speed.
- You can involve designers, clients, translators, and lawyers, from all over the world. They can be your own staff or outsourced resources, at work, home or travelling!
- Time is never lost on users not knowing they were needed next. WebProof's workflow ability clearly shows what's next, and even sends reminders!
- Your advertiser can have on-line final approval. How impressive is that?
- An audit trail of all work done means you won't forget to invoice, or how much you can.
- Everybody within a newspaper can even follow ad progress on large screens in the production area - let everyone participate!
Our typical newspaper clients use WebProof Newspaper Solution as an hosted solution, rather than owning and operating another server. With WebProof and the Internet, you gain cost savings, flexibility, increased reputation and sales! |
