About Us

Providing Print and Digital Solutions to the Publishing Industry

Welcome to Pongrass Publishing Systems, a trusted software provider to the media industry for nearly four decades. We offer comprehensive solutions for the publishing sector, from advertising and billing to editorial production systems. Our expertise extends to serving corporate resellers and publishing groups.

Our History
Founded in 1984 by Leslie Pongrass and John Armstrong, Pongrass Publishing Systems revolutionized the newspaper industry by introducing standard desktop PCs. Our journey began with a terminal emulator for DEC Classified and evolved into classified ad pagination software for Macintosh. Over the years, our advertising suite has seamlessly adapted to the latest technologies, culminating in Version 6, a thin client, browser-based solution.

Key Features
Our success lies in the integration of our suite’s companion products, such as ad booking, classified pagination, ad layout, ad tracking, editorial tracking, content management, and more. These can be installed individually or combined for ultimate configuration flexibility.

Product Strategy
Since our inception, we’ve been leaders in providing software solutions for newspapers, shoppers, directories, and magazines. We’ve expanded our reach to South East Asia, Latin America, the USA, and Europe. Version 6 takes newspaper computing to the cloud, offering zero-install, browser-based access and enterprise-level services.
