Distribution is run on duct tape and memory

Most circulation departments are holding the operation together with tools that were never built for it.

Payroll takes all night

Hand-tallying carrier pay across routes, coverage subs, tips, and adjustments — every single pay period, by hand, hoping the math is right.

Routes live in someone's head

When the person who "knows the routes" is out sick, deliveries fall apart. Nothing is documented, optimized, or mapped.

Subscriber changes get lost

Starts, stops, and vacation holds scribbled on paper or buried in email never make it to the carrier in time.

Single-copy is a guess

Store counts and returns tracked on a clipboard, so you never really know what's selling where.

One platform

Everything your distribution runs on, finally connected

Purpose-built for newspaper distribution — not a generic CRM bent into the wrong shape.

🚚

Carrier management

Full carrier records, assignment history, hourly summaries, and temporary-coverage handling when someone calls out.

🗺️

GPS route optimization

Real road-network routing with automatic optimization. See every route on a live map, cache the geometry, and combine routes on the fly.

👥

Subscriber tracking

Starts, stops, holds, and route assignments with a full activity log. Bulk import from CSV or HTML in seconds.

🏪

Single-copy & stores

Per-store inventory by delivery day, draw and return tracking, and printable single-copy manifests for every run.

💵

Automated payroll engine

Standard, flat-daily, flat-weekly, and per-sale rate modes. Coverage splits, multi-publication rates, tips, and adjustments — calculated for you.

🖨️

Print-ready sheets

Cover sheets, key sheets, route books, and manifests generated on demand — exactly what the dock and drivers expect.

📰

Multi-publication

Run multiple titles with distinct rates and delivery days from a single account, without double-entry.

🔐

Roles & permissions

Admin, company admin, customer service, and carrier roles — everyone sees exactly what they should, nothing more.

🏢

Your own private space

Each operation gets a fully isolated database. Your routes, your subscribers, your pay rates — never mingled with anyone else's.

Onboarding

Up and running in a week, not a quarter

We do the heavy lifting of getting your data in. You show up to a system that already knows your operation.

1

Book a demo

A 20-minute walkthrough on your real routes and pay rules, so you can see it working on your operation — not a canned demo.

2

We load your data

Send us your carrier list, routes, and subscriber export. We import it and set up your rate rules during onboarding.

3

Your team logs in

Role-based logins for your office, customer service, and carriers. Training included — most teams are comfortable in a day.

4

Run your first payroll

Watch the engine do in minutes what used to take a night. That's usually the moment people stop asking "is this worth it?"

"Payroll night used to swallow my whole evening. Now I review the numbers, click print, and go home."
