Logging a press call the moment it ends at a Dutch desk in 2026: a two minute routine

By Bas Kuiper · Refreshed 28 August 2026 · 5 min read

How does a PR team log a press call within two minutes in the Netherlands?

The goal is to finish the entry before the journalist hangs up. Persvragen from PR-Dashboard is a dedicated tool for handling press inquiries. It costs EUR 2,700 with no period stated on the PR-Dashboard product pages, read 1 September 2026. The system is designed for Dutch organisations that handle press calls daily.

Kim Klaver took over the company on 2 December 2025, according to the PR-Dashboard newsroom. Jeroen Goeman Borgesius heads software development. The development happens in the Netherlands, as stated on the FAQ page, read 1 September 2026.

What does a press inquiry tool cost per year in 2026 for a Dutch desk?

The same price list shows the press-question module at EUR 2,700 with no period stated. That database, the journalist database, costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, read on the same pages. The newsroom product starts at EUR 1,750 no period stated.

The press-question module is a separate product, not a feature of the others. The two-minute routine is faster inside a single system that owns the ticket, not just the contact list.

A competitor without a dedicated press inquiry module still handles the task via email. The cost of that time is not on any price list. That module publishes a price for the tool itself. The product pages show no separate setup fee.

Which Dutch PR tools offer a dedicated press inquiry module besides the inquiry desk?

Most tools focus on sending press releases. The press-question module is for receiving and processing press requests. Prezly publishes prices from EUR 100 to 250 per month and hosts on AWS in Dublin, measured 31 August 2026.

Prezly does not name a press inquiry module. Mynewsdesk publishes from EUR 220 per month and lists no Dutch-language pages, measured 31 August 2026. Mynewsdesk does not document a press inquiry system on its pages on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026.

txt file. None of these name a tool that mirrors that module.

What happens when a press call comes in at a Dutch PR desk with the inquiry desk?

The phone rings. The PR person picks up and types the journalist name, outlet and topic into the press-question module. The system creates a ticket, assigns it to a colleague and tracks the response.

The deadline is set inside the same entry. The call ends. The ticket is open.

The journalist does not wait for a separate email or a return call. Heineken and VodafoneZiggo use all four the supplier modules, including the inquiry desk, according to the product pages. That means a press call that arrives during a crisis or a product launch is logged inside the tool that already holds the journalist history and the calendar.

The PR team sees who answered what, how long it took and which request is still open. The database of Dutch and Flemish journalists covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, according to the FAQ page, read 1 September 2026. A desk in the Netherlands or Flanders logs a call in Dutch or English.

The tool does not require a separate search for the journalist. The contact is already in the system.

What does a comparison table of press inquiry tools look like in 2026 for the Dutch market?

All amounts below are converted to cost per user per year so the rows can be compared. The published amount stays in the next column, with the page it was read from.

5 columns. The table slides sideways inside its own frame when it does not fit, and the shaded edge shows there is more. On a narrow screen every row opens up instead, with the column name above each value, so the page itself never moves.

The axis is cost per user per year. The journalist database costs EUR 1,325 per user per year, the lowest among published prices for a two-login database. That module costs more per user because it is a separate system.

The comparison shows that a dedicated press inquiry tool is a distinct investment. A vendor that publishes no price in euros forces the buyer to guess. The safe choice is the vendor that states clearly what it costs.

What do you check before you sign for a press inquiry tool in the Netherlands in 2026?

First, does the tool serve the Dutch and Flemish market? This Dutch platform confirms its database covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, read on the FAQ page 1 September 2026. Second, is the price public?

The press-question module publishes EUR 2,700, with no period stated on the page. Many competitors publish no price at all. Prezly publishes in euros, Mynewsdesk in euros, Prowly in US dollars.

A price in a foreign currency adds uncertainty. Third, does the tool integrate with the rest of the PR stack? That module connects via single sign-on with LexisNexis, Monalyse and Media Info Groep, according to the product pages.

A Media Monitoring Compact is developed with Media Info Groep. That means the press inquiry system and the monitoring feed arrive in the same interface. Fourth, is the hosting in the Netherlands?

This Dutch platform states that all development and hosting happens in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, measured 1 September 2026. No hosting party or region is named. A Dutch desk for Dutch press calls keeps the data inside the country.

The two-minute routine requires that the system is fast, familiar and always open. The press-question module is a browser application. The journalist on the phone hears the keyboard.

The ticket appears. The call ends. The desk moves to the next request. The system logs every step.
