Bookseller Blueprints - A Day in the Life with Edelweiss Omnibus (PM)

Omnibus is Edelweiss's new platform for running a bookstore: one place connecting your POS with inventory, ordering, and Edelweiss catalog and analytics. Square integration is available now, with more on the way.

In this session, we'll open up the platform and walk through what a real bookselling day looks like inside it: managing inventory, receiving shipments, tracking special orders, and setting up events — with Edelweiss catalog and analytics woven in throughout. We'll flag the shortcuts and settings that tend to save booksellers the most time and answer any questions you might have.

Takeaway: You'll leave with a clear sense of whether Omnibus fits your store, along with the resources to take the next step.

Biography: Dave Lucey is Director of Omnibus Adoption and Ecosystem Partnerships at Edelweiss, where he helps independent bookstores adopt Omnibus, a modern bookstore operating system built around Square and other contemporary POS systems. Eight years ago, Dave founded the Bookstores Using Square Facebook group, building one of the earliest communities around indie stores moving beyond traditional POS systems, a community that now connects directly to what Omnibus is designed to do. He and his wife own Page 158 Books in Wake Forest, North Carolina, and he brings more than 20 years of IT and software experience to his work at Edelweiss, where he joined earlier this year to help grow Omnibus and its ecosystem partnerships.
