Magazine Publishing
knkPublishing supports modern magazine publishers in establishing new sources of revenues using digital media.
Whether you are dealing with a broad audience, or focused on a particular target group such as children, women, men or special interests (like lifestyle, health, sports, etc), knkPublishing publishing software provides you with innovative functions covering the latest requirements for managing subscriptions, ads, articles and customer data.
Manage your full range of products and services (digital, print or a combination) in one integrated system, adjusting them to the various behaviors of media consumption.
Standardization – knkPublishing helps you to establish a standardized subscription contract management system by allowing you to define easy-to-use subscription templates. The templates contain a selection of individual parameters, such as minimum subscription period, cancelation period, specific prices and accounting frequencies, which can be defined individually.
Reduce the number of errors caused by manual processes – Through the integration in knkPublishing, all customer data (such as address and bank accounts) including the relevant accounting data are taken over automatically while creating a subscription. Therefore, the invoices based on the subscription can be initiated directly from the subscription contract card and will be transferred to financial accounting automatically – without any additional manual work.
The publishing software knkPublishing software supports magazine publishers in creating, marketing and selling digital and printed subscriptions, providing a solid background system for pricing and contract information.
Parameters for different subscription types may be defined on an individual basis enabling the publisher to sell: print only subscriptions, subscriptions with access to digital editions, e-paper only or a combination of both print and digital. Using web services, subscription prices and conditions can be transferred to your website or other eCommerce platforms.
