Telkom & Independent Directory Company Operations

When it comes to evaluating Directory operations - typically White and Yellow Pages, Logos is perhaps unique in the world with its depth of background. It brings systems design knowledge, day-to-day operations, sales, print, graphics and human factors management to the assignment. It is one of the most well respected firms in the industry.

Logos has advised most of the software vendors in the industry and has been retained by a number of publishing operations throughout the world. Its input to publishers has reduced operational expenses significantly while reducing cycle times and errors.

Areas of significant experience are:

  • Sales Work flow design
  • Sales territory analysis
  • Telephone Selling systems
  • Laptop Selling systems for mobile sales
  • Graphics systems, workflow and art tracking
  • Prepress and Pagination processes
  • Campaign and Market assignment processes
  • Core system analysis and implementation
  • Customer Listing Management
  • Customer Service Processes
    • Workflow design for the Customer Representative
    • Archival Imaging
    • Billing and Voucher adjustments
  • Book and territory realignment projects
Project: A large multi state utility directory company retained Logos to analyze prepress operations and bottlenecks. As a result of the analysis and recommendations, production backlogs and turnaround time were reduced by 75%. Error rates dropped significantly as did overtime. 

Project: A nationwide utility directory company in an overseas assignment retained Logos to manage a complete reengineering and systems replacement project. A Project team was recruited, a systems vendor was selected and a much-streamlined corporate workflow process was designed and approved by senior management. The Logos Delta group introduced modern BPR – Business Process Reengineering tools to the company that enabled it to redesign and streamline the entire sales, production and prepress flows. Significant time, costs and errors were eliminated while concurrently reducing the personnel requirements on the backend processes.
