Three integrated sub-workflows on one Single Title Record
One canonical record governing every format and edition
Assign ISBN-13s from Bowker, Nielsen, or national agency blocks across hardcover, coffee-table, trade paperback, EPUB 3.3, and audiobook editions while locking Thema 1.5, BISAC, and contributor roles.
Track advances, escalators, territories, and subsidiary options
Store executed author, translator, illustrator, and narrator agreements alongside granular World English, EU, North America, GCC, and translation rights expiry alerts.
Keep 50 to 50,000+ titles on pub-date SLA
Automated backwards scheduling calculates editorial, cover, interior, preflight, printer slot, and ONIX embargo dates from target publication day, alerting pods before bottlenecks slip.
