MaxPro Publishing is a complete operating system for publishing companies.
You get the the benefits of a very expensive piece of software for only a minimal monthly fee. It's like leasing an expensive car ... you get the benefits now, without the high payments of ownership.
From clock-in to clock-out, Max not only acts as a timeclock, it also tracks each user's activity and is the equivalent of hiring an assistant for each person. And here's the best part for you ... now you can get real numbers, right now. You can finally walk into the office knowing how your business is doing instead of holding a staff meeting and asking them to tell you.
For less than the cost of a minimum wage employee, you can essentially hire an assistant for each person in your office.
Your system is hosted on a dedicated Little Fish Big Ocean server by the leader in server hosting. We didn't cut any corners.
How Max Will Help Your Business
Each day, everyone logs into Max. They click on their "home" page, and it displays all of their upcoming reminders that they left for themselves, or that someone else sent them. They then click on their department's home page and view an always up-to-date list of work to do. Let's review each department and see how Max can make your day better. (Select a department to read more.)
For sales, after you log in from the local coffee shop, you can quickly see all of your prospects and their most recent notes. You also have easy access to all of your advertisers and when their contracts expire. And as Production finishes up an ad for one of your advertisers, you can review it and request changes, or immediately send it off to the client for approval by email.
Here's how Max becomes your assistant:
Whether you send 2 articles out to writers or you send 100, now you can schedule them in advance, assign them and track them with ease. Once the article is submitted, paste it into Max, make the necessary adjustments and mark it "approved." Now it's ready for Production to export and place. If you do a lot of writing in-house, just type away, and Max will help you organize your articles, captions and photos.
Here's how Max becomes your assistant:
As Sales creates a contract, they can begin sending ads your way for design. Even if it's not scheduled to run for 3 months, it will show up on your list for when work slows down. How nice would it be to get ads out of the way for the June publication already in March? It's a way to balance the load and take advantage of the slower times to keep from falling behind.
Here's how Max becomes your assistant:
Invoicing is now down to a few keystrokes. Because Sales is already entering the advertiser's information for contracts and ad placement, there is no need to re-type anything. Just create and send. You can then apply payments or create pre-payments for an advertiser that requires paying in advance. Each invoice is aged and available in a collections report for easy follow-up. For advertisers that request a statement, that's just as easy.
Here's how Max becomes your assistant:
From day-to-day activity to how an issue is shaping up, Max becomes your right-hand man for most of your questions. You will quickly become more informed than ever before.
Here's how Max becomes your assistant:
Max gives each employee the ability to follow their own timecards and vacations. Although they can't change or delete anything, they have all the information within easy reach so that you can, again, focus on your job.
Here's how Max becomes your assistant:

About Us
Little Fish Big Ocean Inc. was founded in May 2008. After working with a local publishing company to develop a software solution to manage their business, founder Chris Sedlak decided that the same business principals would apply to many other businesses desperately needing some sort of organization.
And, Little Fish Big Ocean Inc. was created with the goal of providing efficiency to small and medium-sized businesses allowing them to "swim" with the big companies who have million-dollar software programs. Since it's creation, Little Fish Big Ocean has helped businesses in several industries, including visual marketing & signage, attractions, bowling and legal practice.
"Off the shelf business organization software just doesn't cut it for most businesses. Each business is trying to be unique compared to their competition. How different can you really be if you are managing your business with the same software?" says Chris. "We approach each business with an open mind and a blank page. It's almost like artist with a blank canvas. And when we are done, the client has a system that is as unique and tuned to their company as they imagined." And it doesn't have to end there. As the business migrates into the software, processes tend to change because they are now handled in a more efficient manner. Little Fish Big Ocean maintains a close relationship with each of their clients, offering free bug fixes and unrivaled support that the big companies can't.
"We are truly committed to each client of ours. Since we become so integrated into their daily workflow and business management, we take service very seriously. My cell phone and email is available to all my clients."
