The business of selling books and related supplies to schools has undergone a dramatic change in the past couple of years. Margins have continued to be eroded whilst at the same time the service levels demanded have sky rocketed. As a supplier you are now expected to offer all the traditional means of supply such as over the counter sales and selling at the school as well as sophisticated online selling and, in some cases, the online tracking of home delivery parcels. Even the management of booklist drafts has migrated to the web. In the past the financial ability to embrace technology has proved a big competitive advantage for the larger school suppliers. This tended to nullify the personal touch and long service history of the smaller operators. No more! BookNet® and BookWeb®, products that have long been used in the University, Retail and College environment; have been extended to incorporated a comprehensive ‘Back to School’ module. Released for season 2004 and being affordable for the small to medium school supplier, the product is now a market leader with over 1500 schools from Cairns to Perth enjoying the benefits.
