Bring your catalogue

Getting started shouldn't cost months.

A publishing house's catalogue has lived in a spreadsheet for years, and the thought of typing it all in again freezes any decision. It isn't necessary.

How it comes in

01

How it comes in

  1. 01

    Bring whatever file you have

    An Excel sheet, a CSV or an ONIX file. Column order doesn't matter and neither do your column names: the mapping is done once and saved for next time.

  2. 02

    It's reviewed before anything is written

    First you see a preview: what's new, what updates something you already have, and which rows look odd. Nothing touches your catalogue until you approve it.

  3. 03

    It comes in whole

    Books, ISBNs, subjects, prices, authors and series. Anything missing can be filled in later without importing again.

  4. 04

    And so does everything else

    The same path works for press contacts, bookshops, libraries and historical sales. Every list comes in through the same door.

What doesn't get lost

What doesn't get lost

  • Your ISBNs, exactly as they are
  • Any Thema subjects you had already assigned
  • Your sales history, if you bring it
  • Contracts and their terms
  • Publication dates and editions

And if it gets stuck

And if it gets stuck

Write to us with the file and we'll look at it ourselves. Migrating a catalogue is the point where a publishing house decides whether this is going to work, so it's no moment to leave you alone with an error message.
