Retail
Special orders
that don't get lost.
A customer asks for a title you don't stock, you order it from the wholesaler, and three weeks later nobody remembers who it was for. We build the systems that keep track, and keep the shop's computers out of trouble.

Sound familiar?
The shelf knows more than the system does
Thousands of single copies, each with its own ISBN, and a stock count that's only ever roughly right.
- Special orders live in a notebook by the till, and the call to say a book's arrived never gets made.
- Publisher returns have a deadline, and the list of what's still eligible is in one person's head.
- The author event sells out on a ticketing site while your mailing list sits somewhere else entirely.
- Your website shows a book in stock that sold on Thursday, because the feed only updates overnight.
- Used and new copies of one title share a record, so the sticker price never matches the till.

And a rough idea of how many titles you carry.
We'll show you where the orders slip and what it'd take to stop it. The price is worked out for your shop once we've seen it, never read off a rate card.
