You can save as much as 80% in publishing costs

 

“Before, we had two people just to sort out unclear and erroneous orders. Nowadays we only need half of one person’s working time!”

- the Documentation Manager of a medium-sized device manufacturer

 

This is how Mincom LinkOne works:

In the Mincom LinkOne software, the materials for spare part manuals are produced as automatically as possible from the factory’s system, and LinkOne creates a ready spare part manual.

If you are making spare part manuals in several languages, you can add the names used in all languages to the same manual. The user can select the language s/he wants or you can define a default language when publishing, according to the language used by the customer.
