Publisher Workspace

​ IN DEVELOPMENT
A home for the work you do every day: bringing your catalog, data, admin, and reporting tools into one connected space.

Currently available to our alpha partners

A MODERN PLATFORM FOR THE BOOK INDUSTRY

From the publisher's catalog to the bookseller's counter, Omnibus brings the whole book world into one integrated system. Publisher Workspace is the publishers' side and Omnibus for Booksellers is the retailers'—designed to seamlessly connect. 

​Powered by Omnibus, built to grow

Publisher Workspace brings together DRC and user management, catalog administration, event grids, EDI order management, and key data into one connected space. Here, the work you do every day flows together, instead of living in separate places.

 

The Publisher Workspace is powered by Omnibus, our modern platform, so it's fast, current, and designed for the way you actually work. This is a

living foundation built to keep evolving, opening the door to richer, more flexible ways of working with your data over time.

We're building this with publishers, not just for them

Publisher Workspace is in active development, built alongside publisher partners whose feedback is steering what we make. Some areas are well underway; others are in earlier stages. We'll keep this page updated as work progresses.

A way to get involved now: become an EDI partner

More and more independent bookstores run on Omnibus for Booksellers and want to order straight from the publishers they carry. As an EDI partner, orders, acknowledgments, and invoices move automatically — and you get a direct line to a growing base of indie accounts.
