The ‘core’ advertising sales solution developed by Category 9 provides an extensive range of features, including a pricing engine, booking server, classified makeup and customer marketing tool, all of which link directly to the accounts and production system.
The core system complements Papermule’s own technology, offering customers the benefits of a fully integrated sales management and production solution, which can dramatically reduce costs, risks and support overheads, says the company.
Both products are completely web based; they can run on the same platform and are available to be purchased as a single, fully integrated or on a modular basis.
Category 9 says it is delighted to partner with Papermule who developed and deploy advertising production and copy chasing solutions for many national and regional newspapers and magazines.
“We found the knowledge base at Papermule the preferred model in bringing together the optimum solutions for our customers”, said Billy Ryan (pictured on the left), Director of Category 9.
Papermule MD Mike Hoy (pictured on the right) welcomed the new agreement with Category 9, saying, “this partnership is a definite win-win for everybody concerned; Papermule, Category 9 and above all our customers. It empowers both companies to extend their reach and deliver a more comprehensive advertising solution offering to all our customers.”
