The Newspaper Manager - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Newspaper Manager is a cloud-based CRM software designed to help businesses manage customer relationships via a sales pipeline opportunities module, an order management system to handle print orders, events, and digital products, a billing module, and an accounts receivable system. It offers the following modules and benefits:

- Customer Relationship Management (CRM): Newspaper Manager's CRM module empowers businesses to build, categorize, and search their customer database with ease. Whether it's names, phone numbers, emails, companies, or addresses, our system enables seamless organization and access.

- Ad order management: Simplify the advertising lifecycle with ad order creation, rate card management, and ad inventory control. Generate proposals, contracts, insertion orders, and invoice templates effortlessly, covering print, digital, and display advertisements. Manage media buys comprehensively, including email newsletters, website ads, events, and bulk media purchases.

- Electronic signature integration: The built-in electronic signature system streamlines proposal approval. Sales teams can send legally binding electronic documents for quick and efficient approval. Once signed, the proposal is automatically approved within the CRM, triggering automated emails with PDF copies to both sales representatives and customers.

- Collaborative production and project management: Newspaper Manager ensures nothing falls through the cracks. Customizable project stages and a Project Timeline feature allow precise tracking and management of various media buys, from email newsletters and website ads to events, subscriptions, and bulk media purchases. Real-time updates, feedback submissions, and time estimate tracking keep projects on track. The automation engine sends out timely notifications for impending material deadlines.

Integration with QuickBooks streamlines accounting processes, facilitating transactions, payment collection, invoice storage, and customized reporting based on aging A/R summaries, sales agent performance, and conversion rate analysis. There’s even the ability to process payments through multiple gateways and in multiple currencies.
