We are proud to announce our partnership with Verba Software, a privately-held technology company, to further expand our customers’ share of campus business through a suite of Web-based, data-driven solutions.
Combining Verba’s comparison shopping application and textbook pricing analytics with the MBS suite of retail solutions, this integration will position our client bookstores to be more competitive, allowing them to effectively provide greater value to students.
“With the continuing rise of competition in the collegiate retail market, stores that can provide students more information are increasingly successful,” said Sarah Shiflett, Vice President of MBS Customer Service. “We are very excited to offer our customer base the ability to more effectively compete and satisfy consumer demands through Verba’s cutting-edge solutions.”
The MBS-Verba Partnership makes it easier than ever for our stores to compete in the online marketplace. This integration will provide stores with the ability to:
•Display price comparison listings directly within their inSite e-commerce solution
•Sort their catalog into most and least competitive titles using real-time data
•Intelligently source low-cost inventory for titles their store actually sells.
•Utilize a variety of tools to track how pricing compares to competitors
•Allow their students to seamlessly choose items from multiple vendors using a single check-out
•Earn an affiliate commission when students buy elsewhere
