The Magic of E-books
From the publisher to the reader… in seconds
With the emergence of e-publishing, we offer our readers the benefits of e-books.
This solution also provides growth opportunities for publishers to book retailers. The plethora of benefits include:
- Eliminating production costs
- Eliminating inventory and storage costs
- The potential to reach a global audience in seconds
Students are a special focus…
Our tech solution, has an extra special user – students. Students everywhere, need constantly updated text books. Timing is all important. And getting the latest text-book or educational material, in the fastest time, at the lowest cost is paramount. Our solution addresses all these:
Our solution ensures that school-prescribed books reach the student directly at home.
We also aggregate relevant content from educational publishers.
We do this by tying up with schools and listing text books and educational books online on dedicated school pages.
Once the order is placed by the student, we ensure that all the books on the booklist reach him or her at their doorstep.
Thanks to this we are able to offer schools a wide selection of textbooks and educational material to match their curriculum.
The Bookstore solution
We help bookstores maximise sales… and mimimise inventory… by offering retailers an innovative way to sell and store.
Physical retailers and books shops everywhere, face the same issues. Expensive real estate, damaged inventory, out-of-stock lost sales, maintaining shelf space.. the list goes on. The Repro solution handles all these issues.
Repro aggregates books from Publishers – so that a reader at a bookstore would be able to select from the entire catalogue ie the front and backlists.
Repro lists and makes available all the books aggregated from the publisher as well as those the retailer has in his inventory.
As soon as the book is sold, an alert to Repro ensures the book is replaced.
Retailers need to keep only one book of each title in stock.
This ensures that no sales are lost and the publishers are able to reach more books to more readers.
From warehouse to reader
Having unsold inventory is the bane of every publisher. Warehousing costs, goods damaged in storage, obsolescence and wastage are just some of the fallouts of the old process.
With the Repro Books solution, we eliminate these challenges
too! Even if you have already printed your books, the Repro
solution still works.
- We make list your printed titles on global platforms like Amazon and Flipkart
- Once sold, we fulfil the order from your existing inventory.
- We pick up stock as required and deliver it to your reader.
- This enables you to also sell your backlist titles.
