Between 11:00 and 13:00 GMT on Wednesday 5 November, BatchLine users will not be able to download invoices, send orders or receive acknowledgements. Orders and acknowledgements will be sent when the service restarts, so there is no need to repeat those tasks. Batch Payments and Returns will be unaffected. To reduce the impact, you are advised to download invoices by 10:30 on Wednesday morning. This will ensure that the Goods In processes can continue smoothly during the upgrade window.
Non-UK customers
Booksellers based outside the UK should check local timings based on GMT.
Note the next authorisation dates for Batch Payments
We understand that being in the book trade can be challenging. Using Batch to take care of boring but essential administrative tasks will leave you free to focus on your business and those all-important customers.
We manage BatchLine POS on behalf of the Booksellers Association and National Book Tokens. Subscribe to the UK's most popular stock management system to run your bookshop from only £1.72 a day with no onerous contract.
At Batch, we are experts at building low-cost bespoke systems for retailers in the bookselling and entertainment industries. If you require electronic data to be translated automatically into a different format for your trading partners, we can handle it.
The security of your financial and business data is our top priority. Our ISO 27001 certificate ensures that your information is safe to the highest international standards.
The Batch Payments system reduces overheads in the supply chain and improves communication between suppliers and their customers worldwide. It was created by the Booksellers Association of the UK and Ireland in 2000 to replace the manual clearing house scheme.
Batch Returns is an easy-to-use web interface that was specially built to cut down on waste in the supply chain. Whether you use Returns as a bookseller or a supplier, our system will put you in control: we provide the infrastructure, you make the business decisions.
Behind the scenes, Batch works hard to manage financial and supply chain data so that publishers and booksellers can enjoy the benefits of automation. Automating processes saves time and cuts down on errors caused by manual inputting. It also lowers admin costs.
