As you would expect from the market leader, the technology at our disposal is truly state-of-the-art. Our systems allow us to access and interpret a mass of information at the touch of a button, enabling us to give our clients the best advice to help them achieve their objectives. Our ongoing investment in technology ensures we remain at the leading edge of data provision.
But we also understand that sometimes our clients want to access their data when they want it, where they want it and in a format with which they are comfortable. That's why we're switched on for our clients 24 hours a day, seven days a week online through our internet portal, 'Webi'.
Our circulation teams have access to our retail database, Quartz, which stores sales data for every magazine issue we distribute for every single retailer in the UK. It gives our circulation teams access to a structured database of information, allowing them to make the correct decisions on our clients' behalf.
Complementing the Quartz database is our sales, marketing and allocation toolkit, which enables us to construct and execute detailed sales plans at retailer level, capturing publisher strategy and retailer trade-marketing activity. This means as plans are constantly updated, action can be quickly taken to address any sales opportunities.
