We talk a lot about customer service because we believe that relationships are an important part of business. Anyone can talk a good game for a short period of time when they want something, but day in and day out dedication is rare. Real connections between businesses take more than an email or single sales call, and that’s what MBS Wholesale provides. When we welcome a new partner school they become part of our family — their success is our success.
"The University of St. Thomas Bookstores has had the pleasure of being partnered with MBS for over 25 years. Working with the best and the brightest has been a great experience over these years. As a leader in the textbook industry, MBS keeps close tabs on the ever-changing bookstore industry and is always in the forefront with the latest technology.” Director of University of St. Thomas Bookstores Tony Erickson said. “We look forward to partnering with MBS for many more exciting years."
Services for success
MBS Systems Training
In the spring and fall, MBS Systems hosts free training forums. Attendees get hands-on learning directly from the experts while making connections with other stores from across the country and learning directly about their experiences. Systems Training Department webinars and other training opportunities make sure customers are always up to date on new features throughout the year.
