Magazine Category
Management System
The NGS6000 Magazine Category
Management System can operate as a "stand-alone" single user system
or as a multi-user network based system using terminals, PCs and
array of input devices such as scanners. Users can select the
type of device that best suits their needs and operation.
Agencies that use PC's with off-the-shelf software can easily
transport data into those programs. Windows users can enjoy
the benefits of "cut and paste" and a GUI interface with a mouse.
Perfect Category Management
Solution
The Magazine Category Management
System is totally integrated solution with complete A/R management
system. Single entry of redundant data is shared across the multiple
distribution systems. Regulatory rules can be set within the system
to ensure requirements for distribution are met for the company, for
the vendor, and for the customer. What used to be complex tasks to
perform restrictive / profit oriented / expansive trial
distributions etc... are made with ease [CAD - Computer Assisted
Distribution].
Easy System to Operate
Your people do not have to be computer guru's to operate our system
efficiently and effectively. The extensive windowed help system uses
a database search engine to lead an inexperienced user to the right
function to achieve the desired results. Our system is a true flat
file data base in every sense! Everywhere in the system the database
search function reduces or eliminates the user's need to know
crucial information to perform their function. As elementary as
alpha string data entry to a numeric field [i.e.: enter
title/retailer/publisher alpha name into the number field and a
pop-up window showing the matches allow the user to highlight the
desired selection - then the system produces the data on the
selection] eliminate list or acquired knowledge to speed system use.
Labor Savings
You want to reduce or contain labor
to operate a system - nobody does it better and more accurately with
a single user interface. So you are a power-user... you've learned
your task - don't meander throughout an extensive menu tree, enter
the 3 digits or less and flash, you're right at the function!
