A newsroom CMS
sized for
your budget.
Shompadan is a hosted, AI-powered CMS built specifically for newsrooms that can't afford enterprise software or a developer on retainer — not a trimmed-down big-platform license, and not a WordPress site held together with plugins.
All six run automatically on every draft — no separate tagging pass.
illustrative — one draft's AI pass, not a real story

Classification runs on its own
Every story is tagged and categorised automatically as it's filed — no manual queue, no separate tagging pass before it can publish. A small desk gets the throughput of a much bigger one.
Built around how your newsroom actually works
Your categories, regional sections and homepage are configured for your newsroom as part of onboarding — not a generic template, and not something you're left to assemble yourself in an admin panel.
We run the servers. You run the newsroom.
Backups, uptime, security patches and the AI pipeline are ours to manage — one hosted platform, not a stack of plugins to keep updated and defended against each other.
