- Track store revenue
- View orders
- Track shipments
- Manage Scholarship and Flex-Pay programs
- Adopt Books Online, from browsing titles through placing orders
Follett Virtual Bookstores are backed by a warehousing and fulfillment system that provides unparalleled accuracy in delivering course materials to your students.

Our system utilizes radio frequency (RF) scanner technology and conveyors to efficiently pick, pack and ship orders.
Taken together, these tools and systems create an end-to-end solution that helps you focus on your mission: your students and their success. |
