The B2B portal for book distributors and publishers selling to bookstores
Let every bookstore reorder titles, check availability and review invoices on its own, while your team keeps running QuickBooks the way it always has.
CrikSales for book distributors and publishers selling to bookstores
CrikSales is a B2B ordering portal for book distributors and publishers. Bookstores reorder backlist titles from three years of purchase history, order sold-out titles on back-order, buy box sets as one line, and see only their own discount, while your team keeps running QuickBooks.
Repeat titles
Reorders without the phone call
Bookstores buy the same backlist titles season after season. Give them a portal where the last three years of purchases are one click away, so a reorder takes minutes instead of an email thread.
- Three years of purchase history on every customer dashboard
- Top items purchased, so staff see their own buying habits
- Standard order sets for the titles a store restocks every time
- Vendor announcements for new releases and seasonal catalogs
Sold-out runs
When a print run sells out, orders keep coming
A title going out of stock should not mean a lost order. Stores can order what is temporarily unavailable, and both sides can see what is on back-order and what is already committed.
- Back-orders that customers and reps can both see
- Allocated inventory shows what open orders have already claimed
- Availability checked before a delivery date is promised
- Order confirmations flag problems before they become disputes
Box sets & bundles
Box sets and holiday bundles as a single line
A boxed set is several books, but it is one purchase. Kits let you sell the whole set as a single order line while the components are handled correctly underneath.
- Multi-title kits ordered as one line item
- Components tracked against inventory behind the scenes
- Seasonal and gift bundles you can set up once and reuse
Pricing & payment
The right discount for every store
Chains, independents, schools and libraries do not pay the same price. Each customer logs in and sees only their own pricing, with volume breakpoints applied automatically.
- Customer-specific pricing and tiered price lists
- Volume pricing on larger orders
- Customers attach their own PO number to every order
- ACH and credit card payments on large invoices
