Zero Inventory
|
Having lots of books printed and keeping them in a warehouse, your garage, or in the trunk of your car is so 20th Century. But besides that, it just isn’t a wise business practice now. In fact, the model moving forward is that NO book should be printed before it is purchased by an end user. Perhaps you have heard of just-in-time (JIT) inventory management? Dell Computer Company is renowned for driving JIT inventory management. But now that same level of sophistication is available to you. There are two ways Snowfall Press can make this strategy work for you. The first option: you go to the Snowfall website and print the exact number of books you need at any one time - and have Snowfall ship that exact number of books to your customers. The second option: integrate your website shopping cart system with Snowfall’s. When one of your customers purchases books, Snowfall will get a signal and those books will automatically be printed and shipped direct to your customer. No over runs, no waste, no inventory. Very 21st Century - and a good business practice - whether you are an international publisher, a new or accomplished author or a small and growing publishing company. Benefits of zero inventory
