Bookvault platform – the Powerhouse for Self-publishing from Printondemand-Worldwide

Summary: Print and Publishing Innovators Printondemand-worldwide (PODWWW) are launching a refreshed Bookvault, a complete online publishing solution for the self-publishing and SME market. The new iteration of Bookvault – www.Bookvault.app – is accessible, easy to use and rich with features from self-management of listings to print on demand, fulfilment of orders and distribution.

April 5 2022, London At a time when authors are confidently choosing self -publishing as their preferred route to publication, Peterborough-based print and publishing innovators Printondemand-Worldwide (PODWW) launch Bookvault (www.bookvault.app) – a new complete print-on-demand publishing solution for the self-publishing and SME (Small and Medium Sized Enterprise) market.

Bookvault is an online platform that provides tangible value, delivering superb print quality at low volumes and print on demand, and international reach and distribution for sales. Already well known from previous iterations, the new Bookvault has been completely rebuilt. It is futureproofed in its technology and handles everything from title management to order fulfilment and distribution.

A Powerhouse for Print and Publishing

Commenting on the Bookvault launch, PODWW’s founder and Managing Director Andy Cork said, “Print-on-demand is a simple and stress-free way of printing books. At its core, Bookvault has the most advanced print-on-demand Application Programming Interfaces (API) on the market. This is backed by 26 years of manufacturing experience at the forefront of UK print, publishing and technology.

“When we had first introduced the Book of One, we revolutionised the sector with low-cost quality book printing in mono or colour. With Bookvault, we have achieved a print and publishing powerhouse for the self-publishing and SME market, giving them control and access to better sales, increased profits and a wider reach for marketing and distribution.”

Bookvault offers a value-packed complete package for the self-publishing author or individual to sell, print and distribute books in minutes from one fully automated online platform. Through an easy self-registration process, they can access a system from which to grow sales, increase profits, print and fulfil orders. The Bookvault platform is also ideal for the SME market, offering the ability to print on demand or print very small runs at low cost but at the same high standards and quality.

Alex Smith, Bookvault’S software developer explained, “Bookvault is designed to deliver an improved customer experience. It has a clearly-laid out and easy-to-use dashboard providing access to all the processes. There is a comprehensive choice available for publishing, with handy tools for paper, size and finishing as well as a self-explanatory and managed library, with live status updates on book titles. SMEs will appreciate the seamless integration using the Open API model. In addition, the dashboard provides clear data that can be easily monitored for sales and reporting.”

Curtis Roberts -Argrave, Bookvault Business Development Manager, continued, “Bookvault truly has the customer at its centre. It cuts costs and simplifies the process. Printing is done inhouse, providing you with a financial advantage as it eliminates the middlemen. The production is flexible and of the highest quality available. We are also very proud of our sustainable approach, reducing the impact on the environment by offsetting the carbon of the books and promoting sustainable reading.”

Bookvault has direct access to a global retail platform – The Great British Bookshop – as well as a global distribution network of distributors and online retailers.

The launch of Bookvault represents an exciting new chapter for PODWW. While Bookvault has a dedicated website – www.Bookvault.app – PODWW is engaged in a forward-looking move to digitisation of services using OpenAPI, new technologies and apps. Once again, PODWW is creating the future in print and publishing with its next generation print-on-demand platform.

#Newsroom: Savvitas Natwest: Launch of the UK Economic Blueprint for Women White Paper

Created with the input of 400 business women from across the UK.

The White Paper from Savvitas NatWest makes practical and achievable recommendations for Government and for private and third sector organisations, with ideas gained from women businessowners during a national Economic Blueprint (EB) Roadshow supported by NatWest.

Savvitas celebrated Global Entrepreneurship Week #GEW2020 with the publication of this groundbreaking White Paper from Savvitas NatWest ‘Leveraging Opportunity for UK Female Entrepreneurship.’

The launch took place online on Wednesday 18th November 2020, the Diversity & Inclusion day of Global Entrepreneurship Week, with entrepreneurs and women business owners from throughout the UK, along with parliamentarians, business professionals and academics.

Speakers and participants included:
The Earl of Erroll, Cross Bench Peer & Technology Entrepreneur; Craig Tracey MP, Chairman The All-Party Parliamentary Group for Women & Enterprise; Helene Martin Gee, Savvitas Founder & CEO, Entrepreneur, Investor and Parliamentary Adviser; Jill Pay, Chairman Pink Shoe Senate, Former Sergeant at Arms UK Parliament; Brenda King MBE, CEO ACDiversity, previously European Economic & Social Committee; Julie Baker, Head of Enterprise and Community Finance at NatWest Group; Yvonne Greeves, Director of Women in Business NatWest Group; and Sue Lawton MBE, Global expert on Women’s Economic Empowerment, UN High Level Panel.

There is growing body of evidence that the pandemic is having a disproportionate impact on women, including recent research from the IMF and the World Bank, the so-called ‘pink recession’. It’s vital that every step is taken to encourage and support the UK’s women business owners.

Delegates joined informal discussions and knowledge-sharing to promote the recommendations and encourage the growth of women’s enterprise.

The UK Economic Blueprint for Women White Paper (EB White Paper) is helping to create the conditions for women-owned/led businesses to gain a fairer share of business opportunities and contracts nationally, with a focus on helping women to scale up their businesses.

COMMENTS

Craig Tracey MP said: “As chairman of the Women and Enterprise All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPGWE) and an active MP in my North Warwickshire constituency, I recognise the vital contribution that women business owners make to the economy and their communities. More progress to improve opportunity for women’s enterprise offers huge potential for the nation’s future prosperity. I welcome this White Paper, which builds on the work of the Rose Review and the APPGWE Report ‘The Future of Female Entrepreneurship: Pathways to Progress’ we published in 2019.”

The Earl of Erroll said: “The Savvitas NatWest White Paper comes directly from British women business owners. Its recommendations create an opportunity for Parliamentarians of all parties to understand what female founders need. I am especially keen on the proposal to embed entrepreneurial education into the curriculum at all stages.”

Helene Martin Gee, Founder of the initiative said: “Despite current challenges we’re seeing a growth in female enterprise and wider recognition of our valuable contribution to the economy. As Savvitas collaborates with its partners to continue to promote and support female enterprise, I hope the recommendations in this White Paper, gathered directly from UK business women, will stimulate progress throughout the whole country.”

With thanks to NatWest for their support of the National Roadshow that enabled Savvitas (formerly Pink Shoe Club) to gather ideas for this White Paper from 400 local women business-owners at events in Cardiff, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Liverpool, London and online.

Savvitas is proud to be the delivery partner. With its team of 100 volunteers, Team EB, it is using advocacy and influence to seek policy and economic solutions to improve opportunities for women-led businesses.
