​Why This Matters? The book industry is changing fast. Independent bookstores are moving online — but most are stuck with outdated, manual systems that slow them down.

Our goal is to help retailers modernize using Shopify and connect their existing Ingram accounts for automation. This isn’t about partnership — it’s about access, capability, and execution.

​This isn’t just about taking orders online. It’s about building a fully integrated, future-proof business — where your store runs seamlessly across online and in-person sales, supported by AI-driven marketing and smarter book curation.

​The bookstores that master this shift early won’t just survive the digital transition — they’ll own it.
