Spring Arbor’s Collaborative Inventory Management Program (CIM) provides new, seasonal, and thematic title selection, replenishment, inventory remix, category management, recommended returns, inventory performance reporting, cooperative advertising support, database maintenance, and other services.

CIM offers you optimum flexibility—inventory can be manager by category or publisher. You may also choose to review recommended orders or to allow for certain orders to be released automatically within budget guidelines.

Spring Arbor maintains the industry’s most complete, accurate, and current database of book titles. Spring Arbor merchandisers and buyers meet every day with dozens of publishers, incorporating and communicating title information into merchandising decisions on your behalf. Together, these two fundamental activities ensure that the recommended orders you receive from your merchandiser combine both the art and the science of book buying to your best advantage.
