Metadata.
Data Hub.
E-Commerce.

For a strong partnership in the publishing industry:
We connect publishers and booksellers with smart systems, comprehensive metadata, and automated processes – enabling efficient research, procurement, and distribution of print and digital media.

Smart systems for the research, procurement, and distribution of print and digital media: Our E-Commerce, E-Procurement, and Approval-Plan solutions enable booksellers to act as fulfillment partners for libraries, consortia, companies, and public authorities. Publishers benefit from increased visibility, effective metadata management, and optimised sales of new and upcoming titles. Through our DATA HUB, booksellers gain access to over 50 million publications with up-to-date, comprehensive, and fully enriched metadata. As a central middleware, the DATA HUB, together with our PIM system, connects all relevant applications – from webshops, apps, and eLibraries to content portals and procurement systems for libraries and companies – ensuring seamless, automated data and procurement processes for maximum efficiency.
