Warehousing & Fulfillment

BTPS client publishers benefit from our centralized facility in Ashland, Ohio, which ships large and small orders to accounts domestically, and works with Baker & Taylor’s Momence warehouse to ship orders internationally.

Data and Reporting


BTPS has a sophisticated portfolio of systems and data processing capabilities that allow seamless communication among our warehouses and business facilities.

In addition, BTPS client publishers have access to real-time information regarding inventory, sales, returns, and revenues through the BTPS Publisher Dashboard. Customizable reports, detail drill-down, and the ability to create an unlimited number of users and set permissions for what those users see and modify are among the features of this robust publishing management tool.

Rapid Replenishment Program

The BTPS Rapid Replenishment Program leverages available inventory in both publishers’ warehouses and distribution centers and the five BTPS service centers to ensure titles are efficiently stocked throughout the United States. Customers receive inventory within 48 hours as opposed to the 2-3 week standard, facilitating the widest title assortment possible to the market. For more information, contact Beth Reiser at beth.reiser@baker-taylor.com.
