[ Contact ](https://nuxbe.com/en/contact) What Nuxbe does for publishers ------------------------------ Nuxbe takes care of the commercial side of a publishing house: titles, partners, orders, subscriptions and invoices. A title is a product with variants for editions such as hardcover, paperback or ebook, each with its own number and its own EAN, plus properties, categories, cover, files and copy in several languages. Recurring supplies such as magazines run as subscription orders with a notice period and a minimum term, and a scheduled run writes and sends the invoices. Terms for the book trade and partners come from price lists per customer, and returns are created from the lines that actually come back. Not part of the standard are typesetting and production, and royalty settlement with tiered rates per contract. Authors and contracts can be modelled, but settling against agreed rates is an extension. Common Challenges Problems You Know All Too Well ------------------------------ ### Complex Product Catalogs to Maintain Hundreds or thousands of titles with variants, metadata, and media assets — keeping everything up to date across channels is a full-time job. ### Author Settlements and Rights Management Tracking royalties, license terms, and payment schedules per author or rights holder is error-prone without dedicated tools. ### Multi-Channel Distribution Coordination Coordinating orders, deliveries, and returns across bookstores, online retailers, and direct sales requires seamless integration. ### Titles, rights and billing sit apart The title is in a list, the agreement with the author in a folder and the settlement in a spreadsheet. As soon as a question spans more than one of them, answering it becomes research. How Flux Helps Your Solution, Built In ----------------------- ### Rich Product Information Management Titles with variants, properties, cover images and multilingual descriptions in one central database. Whatever goes into the catalogue, the shop and the quote comes from the same source. ### Subscriptions with automatic invoices Magazines and other recurring supplies run as subscription orders with a notice period and a minimum term. A scheduled run creates the invoice, prints it and sends it by email. ### Unified Order & Distribution Management Trade orders, direct sales and subscriptions run as sales orders with the same route through to the invoice. Delivery status, partial deliveries and returns sit on the order. How it runs From the title to the settlement -------------------------------- 1. 1 ### The title as a complete record Title data, editions and variants, covers and sample chapters and multilingual copy live in one place rather than in a spreadsheet pointing at a shared drive. What goes into the catalogue, the trade and the website comes from the same source. [ Go to Product Information Management ](https://nuxbe.com/en/modules/pim) 2. 2 ### Authors, partners and the trade Authors, agencies, printers and trade partners are contacts with history and documents. Who holds which agreement, and when something was last discussed, sits on the contact rather than in a mail folder. [ Go to CRM ](https://nuxbe.com/en/modules/crm) 3. 3 ### Orders from every direction Trade order, direct sale or subscription: every order becomes a record with the same route through to the invoice. Terms per partner come out of price lists rather than out of somebody's memory. [ Go to Order Management ](https://nuxbe.com/en/modules/orders) 4. 4 ### Invoices in both directions Sales invoices carry their payment status, and purchase invoices from printing, typesetting and distribution run through approval into payment. Handing over to the accountant is an export rather than a folder of paper. [ Go to Accounting ](https://nuxbe.com/en/modules/accounting) 5. 5 ### Numbers instead of hunches Sales per title, open items and the trend across the months are ready as tiles. That makes the decision about a reprint a question for the data rather than for a feeling.

Nuxbe manages the title, its data and its files; it does not open them and does not edit them. Royalty settlement with tiered rates per contract is not part of the standard. Contracts and partners can be modelled, but settling against agreed rates is an extension and should be discussed before a rollout. Submissions to trade directories and distributors run in their own formats. What Nuxbe delivers is clean title data in one place; handing it to a particular recipient is an integration of its own. Frequently asked questions -------------------------- Can Nuxbe bill magazine subscriptions? Yes, through subscription orders. A scheduled run creates the invoice, prints it and sends it by email. Notice period and minimum term can be set, and a subscription ends immediately or at the end of the current period. Can I manage several editions of a title? Yes. Nuxbe builds variants from option groups such as edition or format. Each variant is a product of its own with its own number, its own EAN and its own prices. Does Nuxbe settle author fees and royalties? Not in the standard. Authors and rights holders are contacts with history and documents, but settling against contractually agreed rates is an extension and should be discussed before a rollout. Are there separate terms for the book trade? Yes, through price lists per customer with a parent list, rounding and discounts per category. Payment terms, cash discount and credit limit sit on the contact and carry into every order. How do invoices from printers and typesetters reach accounting? Purchase invoices are uploaded as PDF, image or XML or picked up from an email folder, approved by a responsible person and then paid. The accountant receives the bookings together with the documents through the DATEV Export package.
