The Supply Chain Project is organized with the goal of sourcing an affordable, comprehensive book publishing software solution that will be offered to all ACP members. The software package will have the capacity to handle a full range of EDI documents, to maintain rich bibliographic data, and to track retail sales data. All three of these features are consistent with the broader industry initiatives currently identified by BookNet Canada, and will be essential to a publisher's success with the rapidly changing technology in the Canadian book industry.
