A reveal all

Planning workflows are good at hiding their inefficiencies: Jumping between software, clicking frequently, duplicating work (and losing track of versions). These are only a handful of many. They might seem menial, but repeated every hour, every day, by multiple teams... they ruin workflows.

Collaborative minefield

What about working collaboratively? How do you track who's doing what? How do you find what's missing? How do you see when it's due? Mistakes inevitably occur. And implications can be catastrophic. But not anymore…

Magazine
Planning

Alongside EdDesk, integrations into Adobe’s collaborative tools are seamless. So you can handle design-heavy layouts and make sophisticated workflows simple.

Classified
Production

Automate and render print-ready classified page PDFs without additional editorial systems or design tools. You can plan, export and send PDFs all in one place.

Control more with DAM V4.0

Our latest DAM Workflow Engine, V4.0, is our most responsive and flexible engine yet. It underpins all our products, including PLANDESK. With hundreds of back-end changes since V3, we’ve now given you more control on the front.
So, making and implementing workflow changes feels second nature.

You're in the driver's seat

The new, intuitive UI lets you choose from dynamic menus, customisable views, and batch processing to streamline workflows. You can save and share searches and make instant workflow changes using our "Rules Engine". Or grapple with data, filtering and colour-coding results to find what you and your team need. Every time.

Multiple regions. One Plan

No more merging multiple plans, switching views or battling data/system shortcomings when planning different regions. PLANDESK removes the manual work and makes it easy to differentiate between regional ads and available space (with smooth mapping configurations between booked and print regions!). So you can now regionalise effortlessly.
