Content solutions provider Publishing Technology has announced a partnership with international fulfilment service provider to the publishing industry, Turpin Distribution, to implement the sales and distribution application of its flagship enterprise product advance.
The new system, designed for both print and digital content, will enable Turpin to consolidate all of its existing systems, while supporting online ordering, renewals processing, global fulfilment and distribution, and multi-lingual billing for its publishing clients and partners.
The Order to Cash module of the advance framework will allow Turpin and its customers to respond swiftly to market demands, customise products and to experiment with new business models. In addition, the system will contain an integrated product management tool enabling the distributor to create product bundles, unique pricing packages, special promotions, subscriptions and comprehensive product licensing options.
Customers of Turpin will also benefit from system features such as the ability to manage print and digital multiple content types including books, journals, newsletters and digital media; the ability to deploy any multi-currency business model, from one-off and subscription sales to standing orders, metered sales and patron-driven acquisition of a mixed print/electronic offerings; and progressive technology designed with best practice solutions, such as common data import gateways, EDI, and improved integration with data dissemination partners across the business.
When implemented in the UK and US, the application will replace Turpin's legacy fulfilment system, boosting efficiency in the way the company operates internally and in the services it provides to its customers in the world of publishing.
