Data and Process Management in Newspaper and Mail Shot Production
Connex.Mailroom Brings Transparency to the
Mailroom
With its Connex.Mailroom data and process management system, Muller
Martini provides the basis for smooth production and renders the mailroom
process transparent and comprehensible. The new Connex.Mailroom
impresses with its speed, data integrity and high degree of scalability.
Muller Martini offers two leading software systems for greater transparency and costeffectiveness in the production process: Mailroom Production Control (MPC) and the new
Connex.Mailroom. Connex.Mailroom, which is built on a future-proof platform, will
progressively replace MPC, which has been used hitherto. Connex.Mailroom can be adapted
at any time to meet the given mailroom circumstances, and readily enables the
implementation of future developments.
Connex.Mailroom has a flexible modular design, allowing customers to choose the module
from the product range that suits their configuration. Connex.Mailroom is equally suitable for
use in newspaper mailrooms and for mail shots. The processing of highly complex large jobs
with subdivision into hundreds of small jobs is a daily challenge. Fine-grained data can be
imported within seconds using Connex.Mailroom and checked for completeness and quality
during import.
Production Control Center of the Mailroom
Connex.Mailroom lies at the heart of production in the mailroom. The core of the data and
process management system is the DispoControl module, which receives sales data with
route, subscribers and distribution data from the upstream system, prepares the data for
production and visualizes the whole production planning. All the processes involved are
synchronized, monitored and controlled in the LineControl module, which enables highly
efficient production.
Intuitive User Interface and Extensive User Navigation
Connex.Mailroom stands out in particular for its intuitive and quick-to-learn user interface.
Information is presented clearly and according to the requirements of the given user, with
flexible filters and shortcuts aiding the editing and optimization of the database.

The integrated help system and extensive user navigation (hint management) provide users
with valuable support in their day-to-day work. The Connex.Mailroom user communication
ranges from simple hints as to what should be entered in a particular field, through the
retrieval of selection suggestions, to specific instructions for corrective action, such as if
production cannot yet get underway.
Production Supervision and Evaluation
Especially in times when margins are measured in fractions of a percent, management by
numbers is particularly important for graphic arts companies. Precise knowledge of the value
added of the mailroom and cost control are essential. The information that is automatically
gathered during production by Connex.Mailroom provides the basis for optimizing the
production process. It is also geared to management by numbers.
The reliable, real-time production data can be used both for technical production analysis
and, via a connected management information system (MIS), for business analysis such as
subsequent calculations.
