How we serve you better.
We are a smart, strategic resource, delivering more value from the publishers.
Quality Assurance
- To make sure you always have the freshest selection of magazines and books, we employ sophisticated technology to update sales data while monitoring your inventory, and dependably refresh stock without prompting.
- Our warehouse operates under a "Quality Assurance" program—each tote we fill is weighed to verify the contents match the invoice. This process has virtually eliminated the check-in procedure at many of our retailers.
- Our deliveries are packed in weatherproof plastic totes or clean, sturdy cardboard cartons ensuring that the product is not damaged in transit.
Streamlined Accounting
- Our invoices are dated for your delivery day and returns are credited on the day the product reaches our facility. Our state of the art accounting system can provide many forms of billing information tailored to your needs, including ASN, SBT and EDI.
- UPC and cost change information is communicated in a timely manner and can be sent electronically, reducing the amount of time spent on data entry.
Focus on ROI
- With our "Smart Pricing" approach, our costs of goods are in direct proportion to the costs extended to the retailer.
- Our sales and service professionals are committed to ensuring that you maximize your return on investment by evaluating rack placement in the stores, offering creative opportunities for cross-promotion, keeping your racks well-stocked and organized and providing training to your staff as needed.
