Inserts, whether distributed directly or inserted into newspapers and magazines, are a very effective means of communication. In addition they are a valuable source of revenue. However, the whole insert process from acquisition through distribution becomes very complex as soon as several inserts need to be inserted in different regions. This is where MPS InsertManager takes over.
MPS InsertManager is a modular software solution that provides comprehensive support for the complete insertion process. It combines two worlds which often have conflicting goals: the sales and distribution oriented world on the one hand, and the technical production world on the other. MPS InsertManager is one single tool for the whole insert management workflow. The process visualization with graphics, tables and maps makes the entire process clear and understandable. Integration with commercial and production systems supports the use of lean manufacturing practices.
