Features

Collection management

MCA Books allows you to catalogue all types of books and documents, with barcode management, to establish the catalogue and inventory of your bookshop, library or distribution service.

The software also includes online catalogue management allowing customers to search and/or reserve one or more books from your collection.

The item records contain the various information specific to each title: bibliographic information, shelf, stock, movements, purchase or borrowing history, etc. This allows you to reconstruct the history of your collection.

For distribution, you are able to manage your inventory by location if you have multiple storage sites.

Monitoring of loans and sales

The software takes care of customer management with the follow-up of loans, reservations, orders or purchases, loyalty or library cards and discounts, but also the follow-up of the various interactions with the customer.

For loans, you manage the borrowing of documents with :
– tracking of loans and returns, with reminders for due dates,
– management of reservations and extensions,
– management of library cards and fines.

For sales, you manage your sales with one or more cash registers, integrated with the ERP. The cash register includes the management of discounts, gift vouchers and loyalty cards.

Each transaction is recorded in the software, allowing you to view your sales in detail.

For distribution, you can easily manage your orders from creation to delivery, with real-time tracking of each order.

Through a private account, your customers can view information such as the status of their order, the due date of their loan or the history of their purchases, loans or invoices. They can also perform various actions such as extending a loan or reserving or ordering a particular title.

Planning

La gestion des plannings vous permet entre autres de planifier les horaires de vos employés et d’organiser différentes tâches de votre librairie, bibliothèque ou service de distribution tout en les attribuant à vos effectifs.

Schedules include the management of loan deadlines and delivery times. Reminders let your customers know when their order has arrived or when their loans are due.

Stock management

The stock overview allows you to monitor the stock situation and manage the supply of your bookshop, library or warehouse accordingly. You also manage the acquisition of new books.

For distributors, you have the possibility to spread your stocks over different locations. The software then allows you to manage your stocks by location.

MCA Books includes tracking of supplier orders, deliveries and supplier invoice payments.

Supplier records are updated with each new transaction to provide you with a complete history.

Invoicing

Purchase orders or reminder fees are transformed into invoices in one click, with a professional layout predefined by you.

VAT management is easy because it is integrated into the software and can be configured according to the standards in force.

The management of unpaid bills is done within the software itself, with automatic alerts and reminders.

Accounting

The accounting is integrated into your management: no need to re-enter all the data for the various balance sheets. MCA Books integrates all accounts and manages inputs, outputs and expenses.

Employee management

Employees are also integrated into MCA Books, and salaries and related deductions can be defined.

Hours can be managed in different ways: either with fixed hours, or with a stamper connected to the software, or with manual time insertion.

Holidays, paid leave and justified or unjustified absences are all integrated and can be set up according to your rules.

Report

Management and statistical reports allow you to analyse the data collected by the software. You can format them as you wish to remove the elements that interest you.

For example, you can measure your overall or departmental sales and identify the most popular book, or analyse customer trends to increase customer satisfaction.

Communication with customers

Automated emails and SMS messages allow you to communicate any information about your services to your customers, partners and other contacts, such as holiday schedules or new promotions.

Customers can also be automatically notified when their order arrives or when their loans are about to expire.
