Powerful Functionality for a Wide Range of Requirements

 

Designing Creative Subscription Offers

 

Subscription Management gives you the freedom to create attractive offers targeted at specific groups, with functionality that allows:

 

• Flexible definition of product packages, combining subscriptions to different publications/media or individual items, such as books, CDs, services, and online access to research databases. 

• Definition of the additional issues specified for subsequent delivery for each subscription, or campaign-driven deliveries to book club customers based on their individual profiles.

 

Managing Contracts with Subscribers and Book Club Members

 

• Rapidly enter data via templates containing default values, and change details as required.

• Check customers’ credit limits.

• Accurately price even very complex contractual arrangements automatically (for example, pricing based on quantity with sliding scales, deliveries, and periods).

• View all relevant contract data, such as invoicing dates, planned shipments and delivery dates, issues delivered/to be delivered, and complaints.

• Make changes to existing contracts (for example, suspensions, outstanding deliveries, calendaring, or supplements).

 

Managing Outbound Delivery

 

The functionality for subscription publications takes the strain off your logistics department by including:

 

• Rules for specifying which subscribers will receive the next issue of each subscription product.

• Functions for planning shipment of the next issues of subscription products.

• Delivery simulation and automatic deliveries, with detailed logs and separate handling of back issues.

• Checks for past deliveries to a subscriber.

• Cost-saving bundling of subscription products for shipment.

• Full integration with SAP’s powerful supply chain management functions.

 

Complying with Accounting Requirements

 

• Automatic and timely invoicing in accordance with your marketing department’s pricing policy.

• Period-related revenue accrual in accordance with accounting rules.

 

Retaining Subscribers

 

• Send automatic reminders (e-mails or letters) to subscribers at specified times.

• Automatically generate renewal offers and activate them on receipt of incoming payments.
