Vendor Information:

The Cat's Pajamas software systems for book publishers are completely integrated sets of nearly 200 programs designed to:

• Manage inventory.
• Maintain customer, product, and mailing list information.
• Process orders, shipments, and returns.
• Enter, manage, and release backorders.
• Apply payments or adjust A/R.
• View, print, or export activity for customer service.
• Manage A/R balances.
• Obtain monthly financials for sales, returns, COGS, and inventory and A/R values.
• Calculate royalties and sales commissions.
• Enter royalty sub-rights and adjustments.
• Print royalty statements, a disbursement report, and apply disbursements.
  View, print, or export a wealth of marketing or sales information.

The Cat's Pajamas handles order fulfillment and accounts receivable, the two accounting functions that off-the-shelf software doesn't handle well for publishers because of the industry's unique needs for close tracking of inventory, returns, commissions, and royalties. Monthly reports provide general ledger and balance sheet information. Custom export programs can pass data into accounting software packages.

• Facts on File
• Globe Pequot Press
• Island Press
