Running a bookstore should be fun, but one of the less fun aspects is managing the overwhelming number of invoices you receive from publishers. To solve this problem, many bookstores have turned to Batch for Books, a free online hub that streamlines how stores organize and manage invoices and make payments to publishers. In this session, you'll learn about Batch and how it works. Then, you'll hear from booksellers who will share how they've integrated Batch into their workflows throughout their stores and how that has saved them time and money.

The session will include information on how Batch automatically stores and organizes invoices to reduce paperwork and free up time, provides easy access to invoices when and where it's most convenient for you, streamlines store processes for making payments, submitting claims for damages/shortages, and reconciling and verifying invoices, and Links with QuickBooks to automate the entry of invoices and credits and eliminate manual data entry. The Booksellers Association developed Batch for Books specifically for use by indie bookstores, and it is free to use.
