Some of the biggest names in the industry use our Automated Sales to Layout products to produce their titles.
They produce multiple daily & weekly tiles, annuals & much more. We provide them with systems for Display and Classified bookings, Production, Editorial even Subscriptions & Distributions!
Small independent publishers, or part of large multi-national corporations, these publishers need systems to keep them ahead of their tight deadlines. We've got the tools for that!

APS provide News Corp Australia with software integral to the integration of advertisements from the sales process into newspaper editorial pages. AutoLayout, QuickLayout and the Optima Suite provide functionality flexibility and consistency that is mandatory in the sales environment of today; these solutions are robust and problem free.
APS have also provided a development partnership with News Corp Australia were their skilled and experienced team add value to the process of development, they are nimble, they apply great care and attention to detail that delivers strong robust usable business solutions.
APS also provide 3rd level support to these production applications; on the rare occasion when we have called on them they have provide timely access to the right key staff to solve issues.
We've been with APS for many years and know the team well. They're great to work with and their support is excellent. We're all out to improve our systems and
grow the bottom line and APS software does exactly this. Their products enable fewer staff to do more.
They're constantly developing their software and they
obviously know what we need as they keep producing.
When I see other newspapers of similar size with many more staff I know our decisions to utilise APS software
are justified.
Introducing APS software to our business has totally revolutionised the way we produce our newspapers.
There’s simply no other way of looking at it.
Coming out of our “paste-up days” and into the world of computer booking and pagination, was a breeze with the expert help of the APS staff and their products.
Our production time has more than halved, which has left us with the time to add more publications to our list, and has also given us the time to produce a much better looking product.
Our readers have noticed and commented, and more importantly, so have our advertisers. After-sales service has been nothing short of brilliant.
Every phone call with a problem, or feature request has been dealt with swiftly and professionally, and usually within the hour. You can’t ask for more than that.
We are running Synergy, QuickLayout, QuickJumper and ClassDesign, and we couldn’t imagine being without them. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending APS products to any publication facility, no matter how big or small.
APS understand the needs of small to medium size publishers. Their software solutions are cost-effective and user friendly.
The software provides all the necessary information, data, reporting and functionality small-to-medium size publishers need.
Queenstown’s Mountain Scene newspaper was the first New Zealand publisher to adopt the Synergy Booking System, QuickLayout, QuickJumper and ClassDesign.
These software products have had a significant impact on our businesses efficiency, production and time management.
Without doubt these products have enabled us to grow our business at a sustainable rate and have had a significant impact on our profitability.
The Adelaide Review has used APS products since 2004. We use Synergy, QuickLayout, QuickJumper and ClassDesign to help streamline our booking and production processes. Synergy is not only used as a client database/booking system, but helps us categorize clients, track artwork progress and has many useful revenue reports. QuickLayout allows us to monitor the growth of our publication via page layout, and see percentage/revenue totals at a click of a button.
Life is better with friends.
