Includes everything you need to operate your bookstore at a brick-and-mortar shop. This package includes the Bookmanager Software for two computers, our data feeds (Titlelink and Pubstock), and unlimited training and remote support for one year.

Extras include automatic backups of your data to our servers, offsite selling, EDI ordering and receiving, and online sales/inventory analytics to name a few. The data feeds and Maintenance (remote support + training, program updates, EDI, backups, etc.) are annual subscriptions that can be renewed after your first year.

Maintenance Included
Total in CAD $7,355
 

Bookmanager Data

Includes our two powerful title research tools, Titlelink and Pubstock, accessible online at the Bookmanager website or using the Stockchecker browser plug-in (Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox only). Titlelink is our massive database of over 30 million titles, many of which include cover images, descriptions, author bios, and interior previews. Pubstock shows the stock-availability for millions of books carried by over 170 vendors who sell to Canadian and American booksellers. You can find out which vendors carry a particular ISBN, how much it costs and its wholesale discount, and how many is in stock and on order.

 
Titlelink $1500*
Pubstock $405
Total in CAD $1,905
 

*There is a $500 discount off the Titlelink subscription if you participate in a weekly upload of your store's on-hands and ISBNs sold during the past week. This data is used anonomously to power searching and provide title ranking.

 

Multi-Store

The Bookmanager Software, data, and Webstore can be used at businesses with multiple locations. The software and data will sync between locations, allowing you to do stock checks, transfers, and orders with ease. The Webstore can service all your locations with a single site, whereby consumers select their preferred shopping location to browse and pick up from. The Webstore is not mandatory with a multi-store, and can be added after the fact when you're ready.

Pricing for a multi-store set up is as follows: each location buys their own software, data, and Webstore; the main location pays regular price on the software and data, while all secondary locations get 50% off their data, initial Webstore fee, and data/Webstore renewals. Secondary locations have an additional fee on the software price depending on two scenarios outlined below.

If you are a brand new Bookmanager user wanting to set up multiple locations at the same time, there is an additional $1000 on the software price for each secondary location. For example: the main location's Bookmanager software would be $5500, and all other locations would be $6500. If you are an existing Bookmanager user wanting to add another location, there is an additional $500 on the software price for that new location. For example: the new location would be $6000 for the Bookmanager software.

For a brand new, three-store* set up with two computers at each and a combined Webstore:

 
Store #1 $7855
Store #2 $7902.50
Store #3 $7902.50
Total in CAD $23,660
 

*Most multi-stores prefer to set up one store at a time with Bookmanager, spacing out implementation at each location over a few months. This way, staff training and disruption to existing business is minimized, and you save $500 on each location for spacing them out. In the above quote, spacing out the setup would save you $1000.

 

Coming from an existing system?

If you are currently using a point-of-sale or inventory management system, we can work with you on converting and bringing over your existing data. We have experience converting data from other bookstore specific systems such as Basil, Anthology, Booklog, Square, Shopify, iBID, WordStock, SquareOne, Bookstore Manager, Lightspeed, and Quickbooks. Depending on the version and age of your current system, we may be able to work with your original data files, otherwise exported spreadsheets are always an option. If you are using a generic, non-bookstore specific system that can export data to a spreadsheet format (XLS, XLSX, Google Sheet, CSV, tab delimited text), we will have no problem importing data.

Data conversions incur an additional fee on top of the system purchase, and vary depending on how much time it takes us and the amount of data that is being converted. Simple spreadsheet conversions cost less, whereas converting from a dedicated bookstore system like Anthology costs more. To keep costs down, some stores coming from an existing bookstore system opt to only import the most basic and essential data like an inventory and customer file, and do so via exported spreadsheets rather than a raw data conversion. This is often the case with stores who feel their existing data was not maintained properly over the years, and want to start in Bookmanager with a clean slate and not inherent any bad data from their previous system.

Before starting any conversions, we will review your options and be able to provide a good estimate on a cost to convert. As we progress through your conversion, we will inform you of any speedbumps that would inflate the cost, so you can weigh whether the additional cost is worth that specific set of data we have to spend more time on.

The following are starting conversion fees for each system we regularily convert from:

 
Square $600
Shopify $700
BASIL 1-4 stations $850
BASIL 5+ stations $1000
Anthology
IBID

$1 - $200,000 Total consumer orders up to $200,000 annually are billed at 1%. For example, a webstore that took $54,000 in consumner orders for the year would incur a $1040 total charge ($500 base fee + $540 tier one fee at 1%). $500 - $2500
Over $200,000 Total consumer orders over $200,000 annually are billed at 0.5%. For example, a webstore that took $320,000 in consumner orders for the year would incur a $3100 total charge ($500 base fee + $2000 tier one fee at 1% + $600 tier two fee at 0.5%). In this example, the $3100 charge on $320,000 in orders averages to a 0.968% fee. $2500+

Hardware Warranty

 

Bookmanager offers a 90-day in-house warranty from the invoice date on hardware purchased through us. After that, the Purchaser must go through the manufacturer's warranty. Bookmanager is not responsible for replacing any hardware that fails after our 90-day warranty.

 

Bookmanager will offer a temporary loaner replacement for hardware that needs to be returned to the supplier for repairs or replacement during Bookmanager's 90-day warranty period. The Purchaser is responsible for the cost of shipping the loaner to their address as well as shipping it back to Bookmanager, but no loaner fees will be required for the loaner hardware itself. If the loaner hardware is required outside of Bookmanager's 90 day return policy, the store will be charged a loaner fee addition to the cost of shipping. The loaner hardware can be borrowed for a maximum of 4 months from the day the store was charged the fee. If the loaner hardware is not returned within 4 months, the store will be charged the full retail value of the loaner hardware.
