CONSULTING DEVELOPS 'PRINT TRAKKER' SOFTWARE
FOR THE PRINTING INDUSTRY
-- New database software provides total job tracking
control--
January, 2003 Brooklyn, NY -- Lupien Limited Consulting (LLC) recently introduced Print Trakker, a database software designed for the printing industry. Print Trakker is the newest addition to the LLC Trakker family of database software. Developed specifically for the printing industry, Print Trakker helps small and large businesses enhance efficiency and productivity by accurately monitoring the progress of jobs from log-in to delivery.
Print Trakker's user-friendly data entry interface instantly provides not only job status but also the departmental location at any given moment. Each department may make notes, and track important scheduling information. As a job enters a department it is stamped in and then, upon completion, stamped out as it moves through the production process. With this tight tracking there is never confusion about what has been completed and what remains to be done. Busy print shops will find the incidence of jobs "falling through the cracks" is a thing of the past.
A particularly handy Print Trakker feature is the bar code option which prints out a label at log-in that can be attached to a job. Scanning the label identifies the job and quickly brings up its record for updating at every stage of production. This not only minimizes data entry error, but saves precious minutes on every transaction. Print Trakker also provides a number of reports such as: Daily Status, Work In House, and Daily Floor Pricing that facilitate overall control of workflow and provide management with an excellent tool for analyzing processes, productivity and spotting areas needing improvement.
A member of the FileMaker Solutions Alliance since 1995, LLC has drawn upon the strengths of FileMaker, making Print Trakker compatible with either Mac, PC or mixed networks. LLC offers Print Trakker, which requires FileMaker Pro 6 or greater, as is, or will tailor it to a company's specific needs.

With over ten years of experience in database creation for such industries as printing and publishing, among others, LLC is transforming the world of high tech with its individually developed software systems. LLC has developed a first-rate reputation for personalized service, no matter what the business, with straight-to-the-point, no-nonsense, get-the-job-done software. Using remote access software, they can provide consulting and support anywhere there's an Internet connection.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 17, 2000, Brooklyn, NY -- Lupien Limited Consulting (LLC) recently introduced Media Trakker, a database software that the company has designed specifically for the publishing industry. The result of years of research and development, Media Trakker allows busy salespeople to keep track of all interactions with advertisers, including phone calls, mailings, correspondence and contracts.
A perfect tool for businesses of all sizes, from a small publication to a large publishing firm, Media Trakker is the first of its kind. "There's nothing on the market like it," states LLC founder and proclaimed 'Database Diva' Debbra Lupien. "Media Trakker automates the sales process by bringing all of the tasks involved together in one quick, easy-to-use program, putting all the information needed right at the salesperson's fingertips."
The software was originally created as LLC was developing a system for a large magazine publishing house in 1996, the same year that LLC's product of choice, FileMaker, first went relational. LLC then built similar systems for other departments within that same publishing company, accommodating each of the department's different needs. Since then, LLC has also worked with other smaller publishing companies with similar needs, so the concept for Media Trakker kept evolving, according to Lupien. "Media Trakker is the result of all that we have learned from the past. It combines the best features of each of those systems."
One of Media Trakker's strongest advantages is that while a company's sales force is doing everyday tasks, they are automatically compiling advertiser histories, as well as Sales and Production reports."For the busy salesperson, time is money," Lupien notes. "Oftentimes when speaking with clients or prospects, they are scribbling notes on scraps of paper. If all goes well, that information is followed up on. But too often it gets misplaced and sales are lost."
With Media Trakker, information is entered directly into the database and becomes part of the Advertiser's history. By clicking a single button, the salesperson can get a list of all their To Do items. In addition, Media Trakker's Letters module reduces letter composition to a matter of minutes and that correspondence also becomes part of the Advertiser History. Throughout the day, records can be tagged for media kit mailings and with another button click, labels can be printed. Creating single-insertion or multi-insertion contracts is simply a matter of filling in the ad particulars, and Media Trakker does the rest.
A member of the FileMaker Solutions Alliance since 1995, LLC has drawn upon the strengths of FileMaker's multi-user cross platform, making Media Trakker compatible with either Mac, PC or mixed networks. LLC offers Media Trakker, which requires FileMaker Pro 5 to operate, as is, or will tailor it to a company's specific needs. For example, Media Trakker can be customized to be used with pagination programs such as Mag-Force. This permits the user to set up a thumbnail view of where an ad falls on the page, allowing a two-way communication between FileMaker to pagination format and back again. As a result, ads can be moved around the page, that information is simply sent back to FileMaker and it automatically records the changes.
With over ten years of experience in database creation for such industries as publishing and the visual arts, among others, LLC is transforming the world of high tech with its individually developed software systems. Their distinction of specializing in the publishing industry began with the company's expertise in desktop publishing, which they have now brought to the database arena. LLC has developed a first-rate reputation for personalized service, no matter what the business, with straight-to-the-point, no-nonsense, get-the-job-done software. Using remote access software, they can provide consulting and support anywhere there's an Internet connection.
