How it connects

Catalog is the title source for inventory, POS, orders, reports and Marketplace Hub. Arianna+ uses the same records through the beta integration.

Example scenario

A customer asks for a title not in the window: you search by ISBN or author and see whether it is in stock or needs a supplier order.

Frequently asked questions

Can I manage multiple editions?

Is catalog live?
Yes — it is one of the modules available today.
Do I need Arianna+ to start?
