Data Systems Offers DRACI for Cost-Effective Tracking of Newspaper Deliveries, Returns, and Collections

Cleveland, Ohio - Paragon Data Systems, the premier provider of barcode, RFID, and data collection solutions, offers Delivery Returns and Collection Information (DRACI) for cost-effective tracking of newspaper deliveries, returns, and collection information. This proven mobile hand-held solution is designed to help newspapers optimize profitability by tracking deliveries and returns in real time and provide better information to make business decisions. Prior to DRACI, newspapers used manual paper based systems of printing up delivery routes and recording the number of papers delivered and picked up each day. This antiquated tracking method often leads to redundant or inaccurate data entry that is slow and costly to enter into circulation system software. Because DRACI automatically tracks information on daily delivery and returns collected, newspapers can depend on reliable information for setting draw levels and reporting to ABC for circulation audits. By allowing users to obtain vital business information needed to make production and delivery business decisions for the next day, DRACI eliminates waste and reduces over-production costs. Additionally, the mobile hand-held device is easy to use, taking advantage of color-coded screens and features an advanced touch screen, allowing for easy system navigation and on-screen signature capture. Used in conjunction with Windows® CE.NET/VB.NET technology, users can load an entire day's route and conveniently print various reports and receipts. The open system architecture allows for easy customization to a client's business rules and connectivity to any circulation software.
