Rethinking Publishing Production.
The DispoCloud is a modern cloud platform for layout planning, ad management, and production control in publishing and media companies.
In addition to planning print products and digital media (ePaper), the DispoCloud supports all key areas of ad and page production within a single, centralized solution: ad sales, ad and asset management, correction and approval workflows, ad layout, and output management.
Communication with existing systems occurs via real-time web services. Innovative features, AI-assisted automation, intelligent ad placement based on historical data, and customizable options ensure maximum efficiency, flexibility, and ease of use.
Planning at the Core of Production
The DispoCloud Planning is the central component of the overall solution. It displays the current status of production and page allocation in real time, allowing editorial, sales, and production teams to always maintain an overview.
Thanks to its fully browser-based architecture, complex infrastructures such as VPN networks, Citrix environments, or heavy client installations are a thing of the past. Access is secure via the Internet using certified SSL connections and two-factor authentication.
Smart integration of Editorial planning
The DispoCloud integrates seamlessly with existing editorial systems. Standardized interfaces ensure that editorial content and planning data are automatically synchronized and always up to date for production.
Beyond technical integration, the DispoCloud also supports editorial planning within the layout structure. Editorial pages and content can be integrated into production planning at an early stage, providing a reliable foundation for editorial, ad sales, and production.
For structured planning, template pages can be created. These serve as the basis for layout and content planning and define, for example, editorial pages or reserved areas for editorial content.
Additionally, so-called inventories enable clear pre-structuring of pages. Page areas are predefined into editorial content and ad spaces simplifying planning, increasing transparency, and ensuring optimal coordination between editorial and ad production teams.
Simplifying complex productions
The DispoCloud supports even highly complex publication structures, including:
- Any number of regional issues
- Broadsheet and tabloid formats
- Online products (ePaper)
- Automated inheritance of page content
- Inherited pages throughout issues
- Planning of interstitial positions
It is possible to flexibly define which content—ads, editorial, or entire pages—should be carried over between issues. Historical planning and production data can be used to pre-structure future publication dates automatically. AI-based features, clear placement histories, and smart placement rules support optimal ad positioning.
Detailed planning remains flexible at all times:
- Changing production structures
- Last-minute changes in scope
- Adding or removing pages
- Simple conflict resolution directly within planning
This ensures production remains fully operational even with short-term changes.
Seamless integration of ad sales and production
Communication with the ad sales system typically occurs online and in real time. Booked ads automatically appear in the ad list for the respective product and publication date.
Depending on the integration level of the sales system, different workflows can be implemented:
- Automatic placement of ads in defined booking zones
- Direct placement by the media consultant
- Positioning via drag-and-drop in the planning interface
APIs allow real-time access to the current planning status at any time.
The result: a transparent sales and planning process that is comprehensible for all parties—without double bookings or information loss.
Maximum space utilization. Minimal effort.
The ad layout module provides powerful functions for quickly placing and optimally arranging ads and other page elements.
Based on ClassWizard’s extensive experience in ad production, the system supports users with intuitive and time-saving features for everyday production tasks.
The result:
- Faster page creation
- Optimal use of available space
- Reduced production times

PROJECT-MANAGEMENT
THE MOST IMPORTANT IN A PROJECT IS THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT.
IT´S IMPORTANT TO DEFINE THE TARGETS OF THE PROJECT IN ADVANCE AND STICK TO THEM. AND CHANGES? OF COURSE! – WITH A PROVEN CHANGE MANAGEMENT, BECAUSE THIS IS THE WAY NOT TO LOSE SIGHT OF THE GOAL AND TO MAKE ASSESSABLE CONDITIONS IN ORDER TO KNOW THE DEGREE OF FULFILLMENT AFTER THE PROJECT HAS ENDED.
THIS IS THE WAY TO REALIZE PROJECTS IN TIME & BUDGET…
Of course a little more is needed: it starts with the right tools, not to mention the documentation, the involvement of the users and ends with the successful post-processing and support.
We live projects …
Be inspired and try it!
Fair project work
From the beginning, the introduction of new concepts, technology and solutions must be planned professionally and in close cooperation with the customer on a partnership basis. In order to implement a project successfully together with our customers, we offer corresponding services such as consulting, project management, training, service and support. Our team is staffed by experts with many years of experience in the publishing industry. We do not simply copy existing procedures and processes with new technology, but cast doubt on them or offer new workflows and tools, that eliminate media disruptions and manual work, involve advertising customer in the production-, correction- and approval process and create thus transparency. Of course, the benefits to the publisher only apply if the introduction is accompanied by adjustments to traditional processes and organizational changes. We analyze your current processes, identify the potential for optimization and develop the appropriate solutions for you, tailored to your specific goal.

A LOOK FROM OUTSIDE OFTEN HELPS. | TUNNEL VISION IS NOT A GOOD VISION, WE LOOK MORE CLOSELY.
– AT YOUR PROCESSES –
Transferring the responsibility to a management consultant is one way, the better way is to delegate it to the manufacturer.
The management consultant usually accompanies you up to the commissioning, sometimes even a few weeks longer. The manufacturer is bound to his statement over years, because he usually accompanies you over the entire product life cycle and often over the next product generations. Have you ever thought about that? Do not just look for a software provider, take your partner on board. At an early stage, because we know what we so and live and work together with you. For many generations.
The migration to DispoCloud V4 Enterprise was a very big milestone for us.
We were able to connect all our publishing processes digitally and now we are about 35% faster than without DispoCloud.
That pays off for us. Thanks to the ClassWizard team for the great project.
We are ClassWizard customer for years and use almost all modules of DispoCloud.
From the connection to our publishing system and the editorial to the automatic transfer of the PDFs to the printing plant and external portals, we were able to produce convincing solutions together.
