QuickDraw Benefits our Clients in many ways.
Developing the trust and respect of our clients hasn't been easy. It takes a solid product and results to win over our uers. What has made QuickDraw a quick success? The benefits.
 |
Web Access: By putting all the data on the web, we have enabled the circ manager to conduct his/her business anywhere there is an internet connection, or a smart phone PDA. Optimize single copy draw with the click of a button, enter your returns, pay your drivers, modify your locations, all from the web.
Licensing! Most circ management tools require a single seat license tied to a single computer. With this enterprise grade system, all your employees can have access. Drivers can enter their returns from home or PDA. Good bye MA Access and File Maker, hello Web.
|
 |
Routing and Route Optimization: By managing location information, the circ manager can optimize the delivery sequence in real time and over the internet. sign up for a free demo.
Most route sequencing programs are desktop based and aren't hooked in with your circ management system (MapPoint, Network Analyst). Data2Decision now allows the circ manager to optimize the delivery routes via the web. The interface is easy to use and is part of the route management page.
|
 |
Single Copy Box Optimizer: This is a tool that has evolved over the past 2 years. We have worked closely with the East Bay Express and Metro News Canada to ensure the optimizer increases net-sales and decreases waste.
Metro News Calgary had an increase of 34% in readership while using the draw optimizer. Catch up with Metro's success here.
|
 |
Automated Route Sheets and Email notification: After you have optimized your locations and are ready to submit your press run, the circ manager simply clicks “generate press run”. At that moment, your printing press is emailed that night’s printing and bundling needs, including inserts. Your drivers are sent their route sheets, and your dock manager is sent the skid dispatch report.
To test out this web enabled feature, sign up for the free trial. Data2Decision is offering a free 8 week trial to all newspapers worldwide. Sign up here.

...Our distribution manager also uses this program to scientifically manage press runs on a daily basis so we don’t print more than necessary every day (cost control with printing). This alone gives us the opportunity for savings that more than pay for the use of the program on a daily basis... Steve Shrout - Publisher Metro News
... It (the system) automatically identifies sites with the potential to move more papers. It also automatically identifies underperforming sites and reduces their circulation. Just this week, I used it to increase the number of papers we move at several hundred locations, which enabled me to eliminate about 150 seriously underperforming sites without a reduction in overall circulation... Stephen Buel - Editor East Bay Express
...they have the listening skills to take a concept you are pitching and spell it back to you in an understandable way with concept, detail and budget. This is unusual for a software techie/GIS techie to have the communication skills to deliver what you want and not make it more complex than it needs to be so you can build upon the concept the first time rather than others that give you 10 alternatives that miss the mark. They hit the mark--first time, every time... Confidential Client
