However diverse they might seem, in terms of size, application and market, our customers have one thing in common - a need to 'manufacture' publications in the most efficient way possible, especially with the growth of alternative media which will need to be increasingly embraced.
That manufacturing process is often very complex, due to the constantly evolving nature of most printed products. Take, for example a news magazine. With ad and editorial content rarely fixed until minutes before the job goes to press, just tracking the digital assets is a mammoth task. And mammoth tasks absorb unnecessary resources, increase turnaround times and put the squeeze on profit margins.
To find out how our products overcome these hurdles across the entire workflow from 'flat' planning to production, across both printed and online publications, take a look at our customer case studies. There is probably one which matches your business model, but if not e-mail goppewal@vangennep.nl and let us put you in touch with a company that once had similar publishing challenges.

"PlanSystem has been very well received by the editorial groups. Once people see it, they get it, and they get excited about it."
Laura Capasso – Reader’s Digest
"We always get the ‘personal touch’ from the Van Gennep team as well as comprehensive training and ongoing support."

"Van Gennep was very flexible and responsive to our needs, which included integration with our other systems."
"With PlanSystem’s PlanMaker Hachette Filipacchi has experienced massive timesavings."
