Classifieds Order Entry

Classified advertisements can be entered through a web-page by various input sources viz., through franchisees, through branches and through advertisement entry counters. Once the advertisements for the day are collected, the system sorts the advertisements according to the category and edition. Once the advertisements are grouped and checked, the appropriate I-Tag files are generated, which is then sent to the respective printing locations for page making. 

Automatic flow of Classifieds 
The I-Tag file is the input source for automatic flow of classifieds. This module creates the newspaper page for classifieds. Text or image advertisements with value-added features like different background colour, bold lettering, etc are handled with ease.
The system provides the convenience to change the flow area like paper size, printable area size, number of columns in printable area, etc. When required, the user can change the font size of the advertisement during the flow. While advertisements are being flown, the space control mechanism in the software accordingly places the advertisements, that results in optimum utilization of available print space. After completion of this process, various reports are generated for the billing department to do the necessary follow-up. 

Advertisement Auditing System
This system aids the advertisement accounts department to monitor the payments from the Franchisees with respect to the advertisements given by them. Various schemes, associated rates and regular advertisement rates are maintained as masters. The system facilitates recording of special discounts on selected advertisements.
