Bumper edition uncertainty

Easter is ten days away and still no word from Fairfax about bumper editions for their newspapers. They usually do them but unfortunately they leave the advice until the last minute and rarely let the software companies know. So, to the calls we’re getting daily we say we don’t know. We have asked Fairfax but so far have not heard back.

This is an important issue because it can alter how newsagents process home delivery and sub agent accounts and manage distribution. The greater the heads-up the better the newsagent is able to manage the situation.

So, here we have newsagents wanting to better serve the needs of their supplier and lack f communication denies them that opportunity.

We, at my software company, need a heads-up so we can create a bumper edition advice sheet specific to dates etc.
