Solution

Book publishers

Book publishers work with a chain of processes in which titles, authors, production, inventory, sales, and royalties are closely linked. Without coherence between these components, fragmentation occurs, which means that insight is lacking and processes are difficult to control. Zeno brings these processes together in one system, so that publication management, sales, inventory and financial processing are linked.

Control the entire chain, from title registration to royalty payment

Manage royalties and contract agreements

Royalty agreements can be complex due to different models, scales, advances and sales channels. Zeno supports recording and managing these appointments and automates calculations based on sales data. This ensures consistent processing and insight for both internal teams and rights holders.

Centralize publishing management

Titles, editions, formats and metadata are centrally recorded. Zeno supports managing publications from concept to release, including planning and linking to production and distribution. Data can be shared with third parties using standards such as ONIX.

Process webshop and order flows

Orders from web shops and other sales channels are processed directly in inventory and financial administration. Integrations with fulfillment partners ensure efficient processing of deliveries without manual intermediate steps.

Support the entire order to payment chain

Invoicing, VAT processing and payments are handled in an integrated way. Zeno connects to existing financial systems and ensures that financial data is consistent with operational processes. This creates a single overview of turnover, costs and performance.

Tailormade software for publishers

Publishing processes are too complex to do manually. With Zeno, we centralize and automate your data and calculations. Royalty statements are transparent, payments are accurate and compliance is built-in. What used to take weeks now takes days.
