The Stock Image Management System (SIMS) is designed to fully automate the stock image sales and management process. In order to do so, SIMS integrates an image manipulation package with an image storage and retrieval database and ties them together with sales and contact management software. This package allows the stock image photographer to more readily and easily store, edit and preview stock images to potential clients and art buyers, leaving the photographer more time to create stock images. It also tracks unfulfillable image requests by region, category and subject matter, ranked by number and percentage of request, thus allowing the photographer to more readily discover possible self-assignment subjects that will generate more salable images and higher client satisfaction! Bottom line: More Money for Less Work!
