Case Study: Candlewick Press revolutionises publishing workflows with Virtusales Biblio3

Candlewick Press - Customer Case Study

Candlewick Press worked with Virtusales Publishing Solutions to replace a patchwork of offline Word documents, spreadsheets, and duplicate data entry with a single unified publishing system. The company needed a future-proof way to manage bibliographic, production, contracts, rights, and royalties data, improve workflow across departments, and support growth while reducing errors and duplication.

Virtusales Publishing Solutions implemented Biblio3, including its bibliographic, production, contracts, rights, royalties, and digital workflow capabilities, giving Candlewick Press a central database and automated processes for reporting, catalogue creation, and document sharing. The results included around 12 weeks saved each year on catalogue production, 80% less time spent preparing rights guides and updating publishing schedules, and a 60% reduction in time spent chasing contract and rights information, while also improving communication and supporting expansion into digital publishing.
