OUR RETAIL SOLUTIONS

Leased Store

Operating a modern campus store. All of our accounts use a form of equitable access, which removes the physical books from the bookstore. You don't have to outsource your store, but if you do, we can do it differently. We can partner with your institution to determine the type of merchandise you carry and the experience you deserve.

Print Services

Solving problems beyond course materials. With the rising costs of operating a campus, administrators are looking for ways to make things more efficient while providing great service to their students, faculty, and staff. We can create a shared services model by bringing the print and mail operations into the bookstore, making it a centralized campus store.

Mail Services

Software for the modern mailroom and package delivery. Slingshot Logistics is our streamlined logistics software application that integrates with the school’s ERP, enabling the store and mailroom to easily and quickly handle any student packaging needs. With Slingshot Logistics, you can receive, shelve, pick-up, and deliver packages with confidence.
