Top issues facing
publishers today
eCommerce
Are you fully exploiting the selling power
of the internet?
“We utilise the B2B and B2C features. In the
first three months of this year we achieved
the same turnover (in processing orders on
the internet) that was achieved in 12 months
last year.”
Mervyn Van Zyl, CFO, LexisNexis, South Africa
“We can now do most of our business
through the web site, knowing that customers
can access real-time accurate information”
Bob Krawczyk, Business Coordinator,
ServiceOntario Publications
Royalties
Are you confident that your royalty
payments are accurate?
“With Bookmaster we are doing 100% of
our royalties automatically. We never expected
to be able to do more than 50%.”
Louise Erickson, Royalty Coordinator,
Columbia University Press, USA
Editorial and Production
How many separate spreadsheets does
your editorial department use?
“IBS Bookmaster has allowed us to eliminate
duplication of effort and our book production
time has decreased by 10%.”
Peter Dart, Information Services Director,
Pearson Australia Group.
Forecasting
Is your demand planning based on
guesswork?
“Our distribution costs are lower through
efficiency gains as a result of maximising the
benefits of Bookmaster, such as pro-active
replenishment.”
Malcolm Boyd, Finance Director,
HarperCollinsPublishers, Australia
Returns
Is your warehouse full of unprocessed
returns?
“The new enhanced Bookmaster Returns
system improved returns processing turnaround
by many days and provides major cost saving
to the business.”
Jon Attenborough, Managing Director,
Simon & Schuster, Australia
Warehouse Management
Does your warehouse struggle to meet
delivery requirements?
“Bookmaster can handle orders large and
small with equal ease and accuracy and this
means that new warehouse staff can really
hit the ground running and be working
effectively within minutes of starting with us”
Davinder Bedi,
Managing Director, Booksource, UK
Inventory Management
Do you know what’s in your warehouse?
“The Bookmaster inventory management
system is very robust, very detailed and
gives us absolute control in the warehouse.
The system is measuring stock levels in
real-time, which allows for highly responsive
and accurate information for management
decision-making.”
