Newsrooms need one connected workflow that honors print rigor, moves at digital speed, and funds itself through cleaner operations and stronger reader and advertiser revenue. Atex answers that need. It unites content, advertising, audience, analytics, automation, and AI in a single portfolio so publishers can plan, create, distribute, monetize, and measure with minimal friction and maximum control. Atex’s mission is to make publishing effortless and profitable today while constantly reinventing itself.
Desk, its browser-based CMS, lets newspapers and magazines run digital and print from one screen. Writers enrich stories with images, galleries, embeds, maps, and video, then preview layouts instantly for every channel. Home pages come together through drag-and-drop teasers, alternative zone layouts, duplicate checks, and deferred publishing. Matik turns the picture desk into a design studio by blending photos side by side, in mosaics, or in picture-in-picture, with color filters and text overlays. For print, Desk links to InDesign and Photoshop so editors drag articles to pages, apply publication styles automatically, generate variants, lock changes bi-directionally, and page-fit content, artwork, and ads across multi-edition or multi-zone runs.
Digital-first teams rely on MyType, a SaaS platform that spans the editorial cycle from newsgathering to revenue. It monitors wires, press releases, competitors, and trends, converts alerts into drafts, and hands editors an AI assistant for summaries, paraphrases, headline ideas, translations, auto-tagging, text-to-audio, and quick image edits. Pages are built from component libraries; distribution covers websites, social feeds, newsletters, and push notifications; an SEO smart assistant fine-tunes reach. Integrated paywall and ad delivery feed analytics dashboards, and the service can front an existing CMS to add capability without a heavy migration.
Catalyzing sales, Cross-advertising brings booking, CRM, pricing, production, invoicing, and reporting into one browser interface for print, digital, radio, video, inserts, and events. Cargo automates ad operations, chasing creative, validating PDFs, HTML, and video, sending proofs, and syncing finished assets with major ad servers. Rialto provides a branded self-service portal where consumers, businesses, and agencies design, preview, pay for, and track display or classified ads. Because every module draws from the same inventory and status database, sellers, traffickers, and clients always work from a single source of truth.
Technology should amplify journalism’s purpose. We unite print discipline, digital speed, and AI insight on one platform, empowering publishers to thrive sustainably and serve audiences and advertisers with uncompromising quality. — Federico Marturano, CEO
Subscriber revenue flows through Kayak, the subscription, distribution, and CRM platform for print and digital. It manages accounts, invoicing, payments, access rights, and logistics, storing every reader in one database that powers campaign tools, single sign-on, mobile marketing, and Power BI dashboards. Available as software or private cloud, Kayak even lets publishers outsource customer service, payment processing, and mailing while keeping full visibility into circulation metrics.
Operational efficiency rises through automation and intelligence. Print Automation converts news lists into finished pages, placing articles, pictures, and ads with hierarchical rules that adjust typography, image size, and layout. Corbit takes care of secure file transfers, format conversions, API calls, scheduling, error handling (and retries), metadata routing, and command-line tasks, linking legacy systems to your new stacks.
Insights consolidates editorial, workflow, and financial data to deliver production volumes, contributor costs, and revenue drivers. The Atex AI Platform embeds semantic archive search, integrated fact checking, AI writing assistance, SEO analysis, and multi-language translation, all callable through product APIs. Real-time monitoring using a NewsAPI partnership feeds trend alerts straight into editorial tools so teams react before competitors.
