VitalSource POS & RMS Integrations for Inclusive Access Programs
At VitalSource, we know how important it is for campus bookstores to have the right information at the right time—especially when it comes to powering Inclusive Access (IA) and other affordability programs. That’s why we offer seamless integrations with your existing Point of Sale (POS) and Retail Management Systems (RMS):
- Booklog Systems Integration
- MBS Systems Integration
- NetSuite Systems Integration
- PrismRBS Systems Integration
- Resero Systems Integration
What Data Is Integrated?
Our integrations pull in the key course and adoption data your store needs to run successful IA programs, including:
- Course Catalog / Term Data – Information about upcoming academic terms.
- Departments, Courses, and Sections – The classes being offered at your institution.
- Adopted Course Materials – The textbooks and digital resources that faculty have chosen for each course.
Benefits of POS/RMS Integrations
By connecting your POS or RMS to VitalSource, your store and campus community benefit from:
- Time Savings: Reduce manual file uploads and imports—data flows automatically from your systems into VitalSource.
- Streamlined Setup: Quickly set up course materials for Inclusive Access and other affordability programs.
-
More Options for Students:
- Students who opt out of an IA program can be redirected back to your campus store for traditional retail purchase options.
- For materials not included in the IA program, VitalSource can route students back to your bookstore to purchase them directly.
Powering the Student & Faculty Experience
Once your POS/RMS is integrated, VitalSource pairs that information with your Learning Management System (LMS) data. Together, these integrations ensure that students and faculty have a seamless experience—providing the right course materials, in the right format, at the right time.
