Ocean Space Media: From manual work to an automated and integrated solution with Infosoft

Ocean Space Media: From manual work to an automated and integrated solution with Infosoft

Ocean Space Media, a media company with multiple publications and divisions across different countries, has experienced significant benefits after implementing a fully integrated solution from Infosoft.

CEO Christian Lawley shares some of his experiences about the journey from manual processes to a seamless and automated solution.

Challenges before implementing Infosoft’s solution 

Before the implementation, Ocean Space Media faced time-consuming manual processes. Before the ERP -integration, the team had to spend countless hours manually registering vouchers and payments.

  • “I would estimate that we spent around 15 hours a month manually registering payments into the ERP system. This led to an increased risk of errors and unnecessary use of resources. With three different companies, several departments, and publications under the same umbrella, it was clear that we needed a more efficient solution,” says Christian. 

Why they chose Infosoft 

After evaluating several options, Infosoft was chosen as the provider at the end of 2023. The system stood out with its holistic approach and modern technology.

  • “Infosoft’s solution checked off 9.5 out of 10 points we were looking for. It was crucial for us to have a smooth platform that, among other things, handled major customer agreements and framework agreements effectively. We also wanted it to be easy to use and allow us to extract relevant reports effortlessly,” Christian explains.

Another significant advantage was the possibility of an ERP integration with 24Seven Office.

  • “We see that some of our customers benefit from a seamless integration into their ERP system. That’s why we initiated a project with the specialists at iizy to establish standard integrations with most ERP systems,” says Thomas Isegg from Infosoft.

The implementation process went quickly and smoothly, with strong support from Infosoft’s team.

Future opportunities with Infosoft 

With the new solution in place, Ocean Space Media looks forward to developing new framework agreements and strengthening their subscription offerings.

  • “Infosoft’s solution is not just an investment for today but also a platform that allows us to grow in the future. We can offer our customers a better experience while simplifying our own processes,” says Christian.

While subscriptions for physical magazines are on a downward trend, online subscriptions and corporate subscriptions are on the rise. With Infosoft, Ocean Space Media can offer various types of subscriptions with great flexibility. 

  • “We are investing in framework agreements instead of one-to-one sales to scale. With Info-Subscription, we can easily handle these types of agreements,” Christian adds.

The system has also made it easy to extract reports and manage data for the three companies and six magazines that Ocean Space Media handles in Norway and Denmark. 

A recommendation to others 

When asked if he would recommend Infosoft to others, Christian’s answer is clear: 

  • “Absolutely. This is a solution that makes the workday easier, reduces the risk of errors, and gives you the opportunity to grow with a solid system behind you,” he says, adding:
  • “At one point, we considered developing parts of this ourselves, but now we feel that we have gotten the best of both worlds. We have something that feels custom-made for us while being a standard system backed by a team that drives further development.”

With Infosoft onboard, Ocean Space Media has found the key to a more efficient and automated workday.
