Know the subscription fulfillment domain

Hello Friends,

Perhaps you need some help regarding the subscription fulfillment domain like how it works, what does various terminologies means etc.

You are at correct address :) I'd try to provide as much as I know about this small abstract domain.

There are not many companies or resources working in this domain and that's why very few players in subscription fulfillment world.

Followings are some of the top service providers -

CDS solutions
Palm Coast Data
SFG
CWC Software etc.

These companies have a good client base and big market share.

So, what is subscription fulfillment ?

If you are a publisher and got few titles (magazines or publications ) under your umbrella, so you need a system which keeps track of all the subscriptions and subscribers like their orders, renewals, invoice, issue delivery etc.

Many small publishers do not have infrastructure to build a custom fulfillment system, so the companies or service providers like CDS or Palm Coast Data provide their services to these publisher to maintain there online subscription system along with the fulfillment system services.

They provide an online platform to their clients (publishers) where they can sell their subscriptions, the fulfillment system of there service providers take orders on behalf of their clients and fulfills the subscriptions to the customers.

Stay tuned for next post....
