Publishing Software • Built for USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand & Singapore
A command center for editorial operations, performance, and workload.
What Is Editorial Office Dashboard?
Editorial leadership needs a clear, real-time view of how the editorial office is performing — not just per journal, but across an entire publishing operation. Softsols Pakistan’s Editorial Office Dashboard consolidates key editorial metrics into one command center, helping managing editors and publishers spot bottlenecks before they become chronic delays.
Used by publishing offices, academic societies, and multi-journal groups across the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore, the dashboard turns scattered editorial data into decisions leadership can actually act on.
Key Features
Rather than bolting on capability after capability, Editorial Office Dashboard was designed around the day-to-day workflow of the people who actually use it. Every module below ships as part of the core platform — there’s no separate add-on marketplace to navigate or surprise licensing tier to unlock basic functionality. The result is a system that feels coherent rather than assembled, whether your team is in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore.
See submission volume, acceptance rates, and turnaround time across every journal title in one view.
Monitor individual editor and reviewer workload to prevent burnout and identify capacity for new assignments.
Compare time-to-decision and time-to-publication against your own historical benchmarks or targets.
Automated alerts flag manuscripts stuck at a particular stage longer than your configured threshold.
Track reviewer reliability, response time, and review quality to build a stronger reviewer pool over time.
Build tailored reports for board meetings, funder reporting, or internal performance reviews.
Monitor article processing charge revenue and outstanding invoices alongside editorial metrics.
Editors-in-chief, managing editors, and publishers each see a dashboard tailored to their responsibilities.

Why It Matters
Software adoption succeeds or fails based on whether it actually makes people’s jobs easier, not just whether the feature list looks impressive on paper. These are the outcomes organizations consistently report after replacing manual or fragmented processes with Editorial Office Dashboard:
Automated reviewer matching, reminders, and status tracking reduce the time from submission to first decision.
A centralized workflow replaces scattered email threads and spreadsheets, so nothing falls through the cracks during peer review.
Structured metadata and JATS-compliant exports make it easier to get accepted into major indexing and abstracting databases.
Authors can track manuscript status, respond to reviewer comments, and manage revisions through a self-service portal.
Configurable workflows enforce your journal’s specific policies on conflicts of interest, blind review, and version control.
Editorial dashboards reveal turnaround bottlenecks, reviewer performance, and submission trends to guide strategic decisions.
Who It’s For
Editorial Office Dashboard is deployed by organizations of every size across the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore. Here’s where it fits best:
Get a consolidated performance view across every title without manually compiling reports from each journal.
Report editorial performance clearly to volunteer boards and society leadership.
Monitor editorial health across the press’s full portfolio of journal titles.
Identify and resolve workflow bottlenecks before they cause missed publication schedules.
Generate the operational data needed for funder or institutional reporting requirements.
Why Softsols Pakistan
Choosing a vendor for software that your team will depend on daily is as much about the relationship as it is about the feature set. Softsols Pakistan builds Editorial Office Dashboard as a ready-to-deploy platform, not a rigid off-the-shelf template. We work with clients across the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore to configure the system around existing workflows, migrate historical data, and integrate with the tools your team already relies on. Because our team also handles custom software development, any gap between “ready-to-deploy” and “exactly what you need” can be closed quickly, without switching vendors or starting a new procurement process. Post-launch, our support team remains available for configuration changes, user training, and the inevitable questions that come up once real users start relying on a new system day to day. Pricing is structured around your deployment size and configuration needs rather than a one-size-fits-all license, so smaller teams aren’t paying for enterprise-scale infrastructure they don’t need, and larger organizations get the scalability and support depth their operations require.
Integrations
Editorial Office Dashboard is built with integration in mind rather than as a closed system, because very few organizations are starting with a blank slate. Most teams already have accounting software, communication tools, or industry-specific systems they’ve invested time and budget into, and ripping those out simply to adopt a new platform is rarely realistic. Commonly connected tools and services include:
Security & Compliance
Scholarly publishing organizations in every region we serve must protect the confidentiality of unpublished manuscripts, reviewer identities, and author personal data. The platform’s role-based access, encrypted storage, and detailed activity logs are built to help US-based publishers align with relevant data-protection expectations, UK and European-facing journals meet UK GDPR requirements around personal data handling, and Australian publishers operate within the Privacy Act 1988. Canadian societies working under PIPEDA, New Zealand publishers subject to the Privacy Act 2020, and Singapore-based publishing operations governed by the PDPA all benefit from configurable data residency and consent tracking. Beyond privacy law, the platform is also structured to support the metadata, persistent-identifier, and archival standards (JATS XML, DOI, ORCID, CrossRef/CrossCheck) that international indexing bodies expect from a compliant, discoverable publishing workflow.
Getting Started
We map your current workflows, systems, and specific requirements before proposing a configuration.
Editorial Office Dashboard is configured to your roles, workflows, and branding, with historical data migrated where applicable.
Role-specific training sessions get administrators, staff, and end users comfortable before go-live day.
We stay engaged after launch for fine-tuning, new-user training, and feature requests as your needs evolve.
Because Editorial Office Dashboard is a proven, ready-to-deploy platform rather than a from-scratch build, most organizations across the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore move from initial discovery call to a working, staff-trained deployment considerably faster than a fully custom development project — while still retaining the option to request bespoke features where your workflow genuinely needs something the standard configuration doesn’t cover.
