Text Box: A Directory Publishing and Business
Management System for the World












...a simple thought which clearly describes a publisher's environment.

But that's about all that's simple about this business. Managing information is tough, but it doesn't have to be. At Yellow Magic
Incorporated, we understand that your company's profitability is determined largely by how it collects and manages information,
so we've made it our business to develop and provide you with the tools you need to do both.

 

Take control of both your information and your business with Yellow Magic, our powerful, fully integrated business management
and publishing system designed specifically for the directory publishing industry.

 

From lead generation and canvass management and commissions…through contract entry and account maintenance…
continuing on to account billing and collections…and then all the way through creation of a CD of your pages for your printer,
"Yellow Magic"
has you covered. When it comes to directory publishing, we set the standard by which all other publishing
systems are measured.

 

Let's take a closer look at just a few of Yellow Magic's publishing features…

Lead Generation and Canvass Management

We understand that the preparations made before a sales canvass is often as important as the canvass itself and that each
publisher prefers a system that meets the needs of its sales organization and its unique sales practices.

 

Yellow Magic automates and simplifies the tasks necessary to create sales leads, to provide a fair and equitable market
break, and to ensure your sales reps go out armed with the most accurate and current lead information.


Canvass Management Features:

Lead Generation and Sales Assignments

Up-to-the-minute Sales Reporting

When it comes to lead generation and the management of a sales canvass, no one does it better than you do with
Yellow Magic.

 

Contract Entry and Account Maintenance

When you look at a new publishing system there are certain features without which you cannot live. When it comes to
keying contracts, you need a comprehensive system that makes sense, because learning a new system can be
intimidating - even scary. You need a system that your data entry staff can (and will want to) become proficient on in a
very short time.

 

Yellow Magic's Account Display screen provides a window for complete customer information, whether you're changing
an address or setting up billing information. User-friendly features, along with Yellow Magic's production knowledge, ease
you along each step while all the necessary information is entered. Yellow Magic anticipates your next step and works with
you to ensure that no details are omitted.

 

Contract Entry and Account Maintenance Features:

Single-entry, integrated system

Powerful Search Engines 

On-screen Previews of listings and ads.

Multi-language capability  

Detailed Account Transaction Information

Table-driven information                                           (for ease of entry and standardized data)

Multi-currency features that display and convert contract values

Pop-up windows for access to heading, item code and other important information

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When it comes to contract entry and account maintenance, Yellow Magic matches your stride without making you learn
to walk all over again. And, we've removed the intimidation factor.


 

Typesetting and Pagination:

When you use Yellow Magic, the composition of a book starts with the Command File, in which you define all your books
typographic and page layout specifications; from mastheads to the appearance of every listing of every type. You have total
control when it comes to the appearance of your books. Yellow Magic offers unsurpassed flexibility when it comes time to
