PAPERMAN is a Paper Management System that recognises the organisational needs of both small and large publishers.

Not only does PAPERMAN provide the means to control stock at Divisional level, paper can be managed at title level and in different currencies or units of measure.

Each Division "owns" its own stock and purchases that stock in its local currency, handling stock in metric or imperial measurement.

Within each Division the User Company can sub divide the Division into what are referred to as Publishing Groups - sections of an organisation that manage a number of titles.

Stock and usage can then be reported on at Company, Divisional and Publishing Group levels.

An area of great concern to Publishers is the provision of financial information on a period/month frequency to the Financial Division of the Company. PAPERMAN produces complete Stock Valuations at FIFO or current replacement cost and also produces cost statements for paper usage by Title and Publishing Group through to Divisional totals. The data can be in a format whereby it can be fed directly into a company's financial systems.

By entering in all future print runs of a title, PAPERMAN can provide the user with "single Screen control" of paper consumption automatically creating proposed replenishment Purchase Orders. Using safety stock levels and delivery lead times,PAPERMAN can operate on a Just In Time principle delivering the paper two days prior to a print run.

Fully integrated with Microsoft Office products, PAPERMAN can provide stock and financial reports in spreadsheets and enable the user to e-mail Purchase Orders and Call-offs to Paper Suppliers.

Specific screen transactions have been designed for Printers to connect to PAPERMAN and record paper deliveries and print run usage thus removing the need for paper usage statements and publishers not knowing what paper has been delivered until after it has been used.

PAPERMAN can be used either over the Internet, thus avoiding the expense of networks and servers, or for companies that already have an IT infrastructure, it can be supplied to operate on a company's Intranet.

The system also provides B2B XML interfaces to Printers and Paper Mills 

reducing the need for duplication of data.

The complete in-depth PAPERMAN Help and User Manual is available to each user and once logged into the system is only a click away, training courses can be provided for all levels of user.
