Book Production PTS
Book Production PTS (Production Tracking System) is a workflow collaboration system designed for reference publishers. The system is scalable, reliable and customizable and contains all the features that are required to manage an end-to-end project.
Collaborative Workflow
This web-based tracking system helps our clients coordinate all tasks and processes involved in handling a large project such as an encyclopedia, dictionary, journal or other collaborative publication. Often this involves hundreds of contributors and editors working on thousands of pages.
PTS is capable of giving an overview of the entire editorial and production process as well as specifics of any given stage of production. It is highly customizable and can be quickly and easily adapted to any workflow. It is accessible to anyone with an Internet browser but is restricted to authorized clients with passwords and permissions.
PTS's structured workflow ensures accuracy and speed with the help of customized processes for routing, validating, and managing projects.
