Textbook KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) enhance your evaluation of your store’s rush performance and can help you manage faculty adoptions. With MBS’ Textbook KPI Dashboard, stores can easily assess how their textbook department is performing and quickly identify areas that might need more attention. It is a great tool to use both pre- and post-rush.
Campus stores benefit from bin-and-hold orders, however last-minute changes and adoptions might mean you need to get those books as soon as possible. MBS is here to serve all your store’s textbook ordering needs. As a premier company for wholesale textbooks, we provide a one-stop location for new and used book inventory.
MBS provides college stores with the tools they need to simplify their day-to-day, week-to-week and year-to-year store tasks. From ordering course materials to receiving and buyback, MBS has the resources you need to save time. Let’s look at three robust tools that MBS offers to college stores.
Your store’s collegiate retail system is part of nearly everything you do in the store. It has the power to improve store processes or offer store associates the tools they need to provide truly outstanding customer service. When the time comes to replace your collegiate retail system, what are the most important metrics to look at to ensure you get the best system for your store.
Physical Inventory can be a long, tedious process. However, it is a necessary project to ensure accuracy and identify errors. With the MBS system, stores accomplish physical inventory faster, more cost effectively and with greater accuracy.
It is never too early to submit a want list to MBS and start a bin and hold. As new adoptions come in, you can easily update your list and request multiple reworks, helping your store maximize fulfillment, access more of our low-cost inventory and get more books in one shipment.
Fall list submissions are open now to get quotes for rentals and/or guaranteed buyback! This gives stores a great opportunity to get guaranteed rebate amounts and ensure your store can maximize the savings you offer to students. Guaranteed quotes are simple to get and provide a lot of value for stores.
The MBS System offers robust collegiate retail management. With a steady stream of new releases, database updates and added efficiencies, it is important for college stores to keep system hardware current and encourage staff to refresh their system knowledge and explore possible efficiencies. Here are three ways to ensure your store is getting the most out of its MBS System.
