PacStream

Welcome to PacStream

PacStream was founded in 1997 as a service to help booksellers and publishers achieve efficiencies in their supply chain at an affordable cost.

Today PacStream is synonymous with electronic ordering for the book trade.

PacStream allows retailers to send orders electronically to their suppliers and receive back acknowledgements and invoices.

Bookshops benefit with faster turnaround time; increased order accuracy; less time printing and faxing; order reports via electronic acknowledgements and faster receiving using electronic invoices.

Suppliers benefit from savings in data entry costs; a single point of contact for EDI requirements; books on bookshop shelves quicker due to improved supply chain and EDI messages can be provided in their system's native format.

The PacStream service is brought to you by Thorpe-Bowker.
