MondayPOS
📚Book Shop & Stationery

A long tail that pays, and a season that decides the year

A bookshop holds thousands of titles that sell once a year and a few that sell daily. MondayPOS makes the tail countable and the textbook season plannable.

The problem

What goes wrong in Book Shop & Stationery

A bookshop's catalogue is mostly dead weight by design: thousands of titles, each selling a handful of copies a year, alongside stationery that turns over constantly. Add publisher sale-or-return, where unsold stock goes back for credit, and a textbook season that concentrates the year's margin into six weeks, and a shop run on memory cannot tell which titles to keep.

Built for the way you sell

01
Find it by ISBN

Titles are keyed and searched by ISBN, author, subject or publisher.

02
Sale-or-return, properly

Consigned copies are marked as not owned, so stock value reflects what is yours.

03
Returns that earn credit

Unsold copies tracked out to the publisher and reconciled against the credit note.

04
Textbook season planned

Last year's movement by class and subject drives this year's ordering.

05
The tail is measurable

Titles that have not moved in a year are visible, so shelf space is a decision.

06
Stationery at counter speed

Pens, files and paper sell as ordinary barcoded stock without title friction.

Yes. Titles are keyed by ISBN and searchable by ISBN, author, subject or publisher, so adding stock and finding a book at the counter do not depend on how the name was typed.

Consigned copies are flagged as not owned, so they never inflate your stock value. Unsold copies are tracked out on a return and reconciled when the publisher issues credit.

Movement is retained by title, subject and period, so this year's ordering can be planned against what actually sold last season rather than from memory.
