Testimonials

Don't just take our word for it, see what our partners are saying!

This is a light-speed jump with helping me keep my program staunchly independent. It’s an invaluable tool for bookstores to be the ones who take control of IA transactions and say, ‘Here’s all my data, go harmonize it.’

I would encourage all of my local teams to sign up for this in a heartbeat! My hat’s off for your help in this — it may really change the game forever.”
