Once we hear from you we can go over what your needs are, how we can customize the BookManager software to fit your unique situation and walk through a fully-functioning demo copy of BookManager together.
If you already own a bookstore and are looking for a new inventory/point-of-sale software option, we can talk about converting your data and what we can do to meet your needs.
We know books and booksellers! Not only do we provide software, data services, and WebStores, BookManager is also a proud community of independent booksellers who rely on each other to face the challenges and share the perks involved in operating an independent bookstore. We have over 380 software users in Canada and the U.S. and that doesn't include organizations that simply subscribe to the bibliographic data services we offer. We have over 24 years of experience happily working alongside Christian, specialty, children's, academic and general retail bookstores, as well as mail order firms and small and medium-sized publishers and distributors.
TitleLink, PubStock, and CBTitles (for christian booksellers) are great add-ons that compliment the BookManager software, giving you the essential tools to look up and know where you can order them for your customers. With these data services, you are also given a WebStore where your customers can browse for books, add items to their cart, and checkout using a credit card or PayPal account. The WebStore also gives booksellers valuable book searching tools, sales reporting, and the ability to place internal store orders online.
The staff at BookManager are here to hold your hand and provide the support through all of the steps involved getting up and running. Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have about how we can help your business succeed!
So please, drop us a line so we can chat about how BookManager can work for you!
