HSS-Media from Vasa, Finland, has decided for Cargo. HSS-Media publishes three different newspapers in the east of Finland. Cargo will be integrated with their existing CrossAdvertising system in order to meet demands of high efficiency and a high level of automation. The installation will begin shortly and the system will be in production in the end of January 2019.

Mittmedia has decided to go for Deadline, our new solution to keep track on all the different times in a production line. Deadline will be integrated with the advertising booking system to start with but any other system can easily be integrated via the API that comes with Deadline. Deadline will be the Master for all handling of deadlines for all the products Mittmedia publishes. 

Laidback is very proud to be mentioned as a trendsetting product in our partnership with Extensis by KM World.
It´s the DAM-system Portfolio (by Extensis) that is in focus and KM-world acknowledges all the new automation processes. These processes are brought into the Portfolio system using the tight integration with the Laidback product Corbit, taking the automation level in DAM-systems to a new level.

The newspaper group Stampen will be using Cargo Self Service for both personal and corporate advertising. The installation will start during October and we will also integrate Cargo Self Service with  CrossAdvertising från Atex.

We are proud to announce that the Swiss national TV broadcasting company RTS (Radio Télévision Suisse) choose FileTrain for their digital workflows. Our Swiss partner APS Solutions are helping out with the installation and configuration.

FileTrain 6.9 is released and can be downloaded. The major feature added is the option to set transfer type when using FTP-transfers. 

There is a version of Cargo Production plug-in for Adobe InDesign CC 2019 available. Please contact us if you would like to upgrade.

A brand new product is introduced - Deadline.

Deadline is a server solution to act as a Master for all the different timings that is part of any production workflow. When do you need to deliver your advert in order to make the next publishing, when is the last time to send a proof, when do we need to send to the printer in order to give them a chance to print on time for publishing. That's just an example, timing issues are everywhere, in all production environments regardless of which kind of business. Deadline is setup per product which means all products in Deadline can have their own settings if needed. Thanks to the built-in REST API, any other system can be integrated to get their workflow timing from Deadline.

More information will be available on the product pages shortly.

Our first installation of Cargo Self Service is now up and running. For this installation, Cargo Self Service is integrated with Adbase from Newscycle Solutions and DIBS payment services.  Cargo Self Service is for both private customers and companies, using templates created by our customer so they can create new templates on demand using an InDesign license. There will be more information available for  Cargo Self soon.

There's a new version available for Sherpa, compatible with InDesign CC 2018. The release of this version will be Tuesday 24 April.
