Gazelle Book Services

Gazelle Books Services is a UK-based book distributor serving the UK and European markets for almost 40 years. Metadata is one of the key aspects of our day-to-day service, and we utilise BooksoniX across our business, from the management of titles and data feeds to customers, to the integration with our Shopify and production of in-house marketing materials.

The Challenge: Rapid implementation of ONIX feeds and metadata management

  • Before we partnered with BooksoniX, we were always struggling to keep up to date with the latest changes and developments with ONIX and metadata, as well as the creation of marketing materials. We chose to work with BooksoniX as they are a well-respected name in the industry, and their knowledgeable team was on hand throughout the entire switch-over process.

The Solution

  • BooksoniX not only gives us the tools to maximise the data for each title we distribute but also allows us to be ahead of the curve when it comes to new developments, changes, and legislation within the book industry. Their interface is simple and easy to use, with dedicated sections that different teams can use. We find that the onboarding process for new publishers is incredibly streamlined and allows us to add new publishers efficiently, allowing us to start selling quickly and maximising sales.

The Results

  • For a distributor looking for a comprehensive metadata management service, we would highly recommend BookoniX. Through our partnership, we are in a great position to continue to grow and have all the tools we need to adapt to an ever-changing industry.
