Wi2026: In Search of Lost Time (and Invoices) with Batch

One of the trickiest aspects of running a bookstore is developing systems and processes to manage the interminable influx of invoices and credits from your vendors. In this moderated discussion, booksellers will talk about how they were able to solve this intractable problem by utilizing Batch for Books to stay organized, stay current with their vendor accounts, and reclaim precious time previously lost to the back-office drudgery of invoice management. Topics covered in this session will include: Batch as your all-in-one, automatic digital filing cabinet. Easy payments to your vendors that are always applied correctly. Save your hands and never enter an invoice into QuickBooks again. 30 seconds or less for damaged/short claim submissions. Batch by-the-numbers a.k.a. "I'm saving how many hours each month?!?"   Recorded February 26, 2026 at Winter Institute 2026 in Pittsburgh, PA.   Additional bookstore education resources can be found at www.bookweb.org.   Theme song by Constant Companion
