The Offline Solution – Bookstores
We help bookstores maximise sales… and mimimize 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 aggregate 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.
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.

- We do this by tying up with schools and listing text books and educational books online on school specific pages.
- Thanks to this we are able to offer schools a wide selection of textbooks and educational material to match their curriculum.
- We aggregate relevant content from educational publishers and list them online.
- Once the order is placed by the student, we ensure that all the books on the booklist reach him or her at their doorstep, through our collaboration with e-retailers.
