Global Editorial Management System

For publishers and editors, the problem is a familiar one: what's the optimal way to manage the dozens of freelance professionals from writers to copy editors and more who make it possible to create high-quality publications, especially given the number of distinct tasks each performs on unique deadline schedules, at different rates of pay, and from different locations?

Introducing Apex's Global Editorial Management System (GEMS), a cloud-based solution designed to streamline and improve the editorial workflow for publishers and content creators. Editorial assignments can be made, and work briefs and files exchanged using GEMS platform. GEMS allows editors and managers to make assignments to the most qualified freelancers and monitor quality and progress from end to end, including accepting or rejecting work and payment to the contractor.

Using GEMS, managers get a bird's-eye view of the complete editorial process and can easily track:

1. Which freelancers are qualified and available for work, including their overall quality rating
2.  How many and what types of assignments are outstanding at any     moment
3.  The status of each assignment
4.  The identity of the individual performing each task and his or     her deadline
5.  The payment due to the contractor

Our clients love GEMS for its ease of integration with their existing finance systems to automate payment of invoices for completed work.
