Books and media

A long tail with its own rules

Many titles, few of each

Large catalogs with exact data, barcodes and categories have to stay manageable across every channel.

Terms with publishers

Consignment stock and returns need clear records, and the settlement with each partner has to add up.

Slow stock is part of the business

Returns are common in print, so slow movers and returns have to be visible.

Catalog

Print and digital titles together

Manage large catalogs with barcodes, categories and media, and sell digital products such as e-books next to print. External categories and feeds put the titles on marketplaces.

Collection pages group titles by genre and series.

  • Large catalogs with barcodes
  • Digital products (e-books)
  • External marketplace categories and feeds
  • Collection pages for genres and series

Consignment and settlement

Stock you hold for others, settled correctly

Consignment stock is kept apart from your own stock, and a settlement statement shows what was sold and what you owe each partner for the period.

Unsold consignment goes back to its owner, with the movement logged.

  • Consignment stock
  • Settlement statements per partner
  • Returns to the owner
  • Every movement logged

Purchasing

Purchase orders and reorder suggestions

The replenishment list shows what to reorder, in what quantity and by when, grouped by supplier, with the supplier terms you saved. A purchase draft is one click.

The forecast flags slow movers, and customer returns go back into stock, so you see which titles sit.

  • Purchase orders
  • Replenishment suggestions by supplier
  • Slow movers flagged
  • Returns back into stock
