As the UK’s leading book distributor, TBS operates from a well invested purpose-built greenfield site at Frating Green, Colchester, Essex. TBS sets the standard in the market for range and quality of services, as evidenced by four British Book Awards and the prestigious Waterstone's Book Distributor of the Year Award (as voted for by their branch managers). Its ongoing investment in technology, systems and people provides its client publishers with industry-leading standards of service; and its consolidated delivery and invoicing approach provides all the benefits of economies of scale.
Managing the distribution of over 100 million books a year, means offering a wide-ranging distribution service, tailored to meet client publishers’ and customers’ needs. TBS’s operational flexibility, combined with hi-tech automated handling systems, are key elements in delivering high levels of availability and accuracy within short lead times, maximising efficiency and minimising cost. Such peak operational responsiveness enabled TBS to deliver over half of the Guardian Top 100 titles by volume in 2005 and 2006.
TBS has full electronic ordering and e-Commerce capabilities and can also offer telesales, royalties and sub-rights services. TBS’s IT reporting systems have been developed to provide instant and flexible access to the full range of information. This allows client publishers online access to full sales ledger information, analysis and reporting, as well as providing key operational visibility of orders, inventory control and despatch, enabling products to be traced through every stage of the distribution process.
TBS provides a full range of back-office services to its sister companies Grantham Book Services and Transworld.
