Our subscription and audience management platform, Multipub, has been used by news media outlets since 1984. Over the course of our multi-year partnership, we have continued to develop our system, adding new functionality to better support publishers, like you.
Our robust circulation system handles print and digital products in one database, offering a 360° view of every subscriber. Use it to manage single-copy sales, carrier delivery, accounting, and more.
