Financial Softworks, LLC, announced that their DashBook software now includes the ability to import sales results from distributors and sellers of books, music, apps, and more. Now DashBook can automatically create orders to match sales from the most popular sources that small to mid-sized publishers use.
For the eBook industry, DashBook can import sales from All Romance/OmniLit, Amazon Kindle, Fictionwise, Overdrive, Sony EBooks, and others. For printed books, the list includes BookSurge, Consortium, Lightning Source, Midpoint Trade Books, Publishers Group West, and more.
Due to DashBook’s flexible architecture, publishers can add their own sources, and Financial Softworks will be including more import ability within their software’s upcoming enhancements. Publishers are encouraged to send in their requests to handle more sales imports.
This automation is a key step in reducing the costs and errors that can occur while running a royalty paying operation. By adding this automatic order creation, DashBook continues to expand the value of its economical royalty management system which can scale from the desktop to SQL Server.
Rob Clements of Clements Publishing in Toronto is particularly grateful for this new feature. "I've found that one of the most challenging and time-consuming aspects of running a publishing company is tracking sales and managing royalty payments -- particularly when those sales are being made in multiple currencies and coming from various sales channels. I have tested several far more expensive packages, but I am not aware of any other publishing software that can do what DashBook can. The ability to import monthly print-on-demand sales reports from companies such as Lightning Source has been especially helpful and saves me untold hours of re-entering sales information and doing currency conversions."
