Just-TALENT for Publishing Companies

A talent management and administration solution delivered by a Microsoft Gold-Certified Partner

Just-TALENT: The first of its kind

Managing even a few titles can easily get away from someone. Managing hundreds of titles can make a person’s head spin. When your publishing company is doing its best to juggle different titles, trying to track them all on a simple spreadsheet is laborious, time-consuming, and prone to error. 

The first of its kind, Just-TALENT is the UK’s leading talent reporting software for publishing. No more manual work copying over countless numbers and trying to keep track of wayward financials. Get all your essential data at the push of a button. Goodbye, monotonous hours of squinting at a spreadsheet. Hello, valuable time that’s better spent elsewhere. 

Creative have curated the best of two options to suit your unique publishing house’s needs: a contracted service or a dedicated reporting software. Our close partnership with Lockside Consulting provides our clients with a quality bespoke service for any publishing companies looking to improve their talent administration.

Alternatively, we also offer our leading talent reporting software, the Just-TALENT app, for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, empowering your company to be able to do this in-house.

Why Just-TALENT for publishing companies?

Your talent reporting should be comfortable, dependable, and follow a reliable formula. Just-TALENT utilises automation, meaning there’s no chance for human error (because everyone’s least favourite trope is miscommunication). It also means you can reduce the process of reporting from weeks down to minutes. When you’re saving that much time, you can start reporting on a much more regular basis and smooth out your publishing company’s cash flow by avoiding lump sum payments.
