Inventory management for book and media sellers
Book and media sellers manage catalogs ranging from dozens to hundreds of thousands of titles across new and used conditions. Nventory keeps your listings accurate and your fulfillment efficient across every channel.
The operational challenges books & media brands face
Running a books & media business across multiple sales channels introduces unique operational complexity. These are the pain points that slow growth and erode margins.
Massive catalogs with condition variations mean a single title can have dozens of sellable listings across channels
New release pre-orders must be managed alongside backlist inventory without allocation conflicts
Condition grading for used books and media requires per-unit tracking rather than aggregate inventory counts
Low average order values and slim margins demand shipping cost optimization on every order
Author events, media mentions, and viral moments create unpredictable demand spikes for specific titles

Frequently asked questions
Can Nventory handle used book condition grading across channels?
Yes. Nventory tracks individual units by condition grade, maintaining separate listings and inventory counts for each condition variant. When a used book in 'Very Good' condition sells on Amazon, only that specific condition variant is deducted across all channels.
How does Nventory manage large book catalogs?
Nventory is built for large catalogs and supports bulk operations across hundreds of thousands of active listings. Pricing updates, inventory adjustments, and channel synchronization all operate at scale without performance degradation.
Does Nventory support pre-orders for new book releases?
Nventory manages pre-orders with configurable allocation rules. When new release inventory arrives at your warehouse, the system automatically allocates stock to pre-orders in the order they were placed and triggers fulfillment.
