Magazine publishers
A digital subscription, advertising and billing – open.junixx keeps the magazine business manageable even in upheaval.
What counts for magazine publishers.
Few segments face so many upheavals at once. The print circulations of consumer magazines are giving way, the advertising business is shifting toward digital, and with the planned press-wholesale alliance of the large publishing houses, the sales channel itself is up for renegotiation. What is growing reliably is the digital subscription: the e-paper has gone from an add-on to a load-bearing source of revenue, and almost the whole industry sees its further development as a precondition for its own future.
The Subscriptions module is therefore not an add-on but a foundation – publication frequencies, batch billing, the MRR and renewal pipeline, in other words the key figures with which recurring revenue can actually be managed.
In parallel, the advertising side has to become more efficient. Advertising bills print and digital placements by the same rules and creates orders and invoices automatically. And when sales relationships change, it is the commercial side that decides whether the rebuilding stays manageable: Orders & invoices holds open items, dunning and the DATEV connection together in one place. open.junixx does not take the change off your hands – but it makes sure that administration does not tie up the strength the change needs.
These modules play to their strengths here.
These modules address the challenges of magazine publishers directly. The full range of open.junixx features is always included – every other module stands beneath.
