Ventil Verlag needs a flexible organizational tool for its internal publishing processes. The diverse and small organizational tasks that cannot be meaningfully mapped out in any standard software led Ventil Verlag to SeaTable.
Flexible processes require flexible tools
Ventil Verlag is a classic niche publisher, of which there are hundreds in Germany. For over 20 years, it has been producing and publishing books outside the mainstream, mainly in the pop and vegan hong kong rcs data nutrition genres. One of the most successful publications is the book Vegan-Klischee ade! , which was released in specialist shops in March 2020 and immediately became a Spiegel bestseller.
The challenges of a small publishing house are diverse. There is no huge organization with clear roles and tasks. Instead, a small team has to react flexibly to the tasks that arise and find solutions. The core team of Ventil Verlag consists of just 6 people who are supported by external photographers, designers, editors, press staff or other freelancers. There are no fixed processes that are mapped out in publishing software; instead, you need flexible software that adapts to changing requirements and processes.
SeaTable is super easy to understand and was immediately well received by our team. People immediately understood how to work with it.
