The news delivery industry faces challenges!
Profitability will not come from growth!

As the industry matures, profitability improvements will come only from operating more efficiently and from interacting with publishers more effectively.

Here are a few of the management “tools” that the Teak system offers:

  • An “Ad Hoc Query” screen allows you to quickly get the answers to specific questions about draws or returns. Include or exclude certain locations. Set up demographic characteristics for various locations and extract results for those locations.
  • The system supports the concept of a “control group” that allows you to test different merchandising approaches and see the difference after a few weeks.
  • Your payables and receivables are in the same system as your draws so it is easy to trace payments and receipts to actual draws and returns.
  • You get a single P&L summary that puts all of your operations in a single place:
    • Commercial and Home Delivery sales and costs
    • Vending Machine Collections
    • Delivery Fees
    • Service Charges
    • Vending repair reimbursements

    We will soon be adding accounting for route drivers so that total route accounting will be available.
