Next Issue

Next Issue is an client and order management system designed especially for publishing companies. It integrates advertising sales, production and managerial enquiry functions, and creates transaction data for direct loading into into Sage Line 50 software. Accounts staff can then easily produce invoices without the need to re-key the transaction details.

Currently in use by the Bourne Publishing Group, Stamford, it is a vital part of the process of publishing four national magazines (Your Cat, Your Dog, Fieldsports, and Salmo Trutta) and associated supplements.

If you publish one or more magazines, Next Issue can work for you, too. And it works on both Macs and PCs.
