Bookstore Manager has announced a partnership with PubEasy to provide Christian retailers who use its P.O.S. system with real-time access to price and availability information from additional major publishers.

PubEasy is the global inquiry and ordering service for the book industry. Bookstore Manager, which provides technology solutions for the Christian retail industry, is used by more than 1,500 independent evangelical retailers nationwide, company officials said.

The additional imprints added by PubEasy include FaithWords (Hachette Book Group USA), HarperOne (HarperCollins), Howard Publishing (Simon & Schuster), Penguin Praise (Penguin Group USA) and WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group (Random House).

Brent Casey, vice president of operations for Bookstore Manager, said "the integration of ... PubEasy's electronic commerce tools ... will add significant value for our users by opening up access to a wider universe of Christian publishers."

Bookstore Manager's agreement with PubEasy was announced during the 2007 International Christian Retail Show, held last month in Atlanta.
