The MBS-Verba Partnership makes it easier than ever to compete with the online marketplace.
With the flip of a switch, your store's course, title, and pricing data can flow into your white-labled Verba Compare application. Here students can see how your offers stack up to the competition, add items from multiple retailers to a unified shopping cart, and enjoy Verba's unique multi-vendor checkout experience. No more data imports - just seamless data transfer to a great book-buying experience.
Joint MBS-Verba clients now have the option of displaying price comparison listings directly within their inSite e-commerce solution. Clicking "Buy" takes students to the relevant website, where they can complete their purchase. Verba manages affiliate relationships with a number of online retailers, so stores can earn an affiliate commission when students buy elsewhere.
Verba Compete offers unprecedented tools for evaluating and optimizing your textbook pricing. With the MBS-Verba Partnership, MBS users will be able to quickly send pricing modifications from Verba Compete to TextAid. It's the most convenient way to use the most powerful pricing tools on the market.
Here's what stores both within and outside the MBS community are saying about Verba Software.

Jason Lorgan, UC Davis Bookstore
"We began working with Verba in Winter Quarter of 2010. The feedback from students, parents, faculty, staff and administrators has been overwhelmingly positive. We have started utilizing their analytic tools and have been equally impressed. They have been a real pleasure to work with." |

Jeff Nelson, BGSU Bookstores
"Working with Verba Software has been an amazing, game changing experience! Although we initiated the process relatively late in the business cycle, they had us up and running quickly and with very little effort on our part. When we have ideas, questions or concerns, they are always very responsive to our needs. And the results have exceeded our expectations. Not only did our online orders and in-store sales increase, but the customer perception of the Bookstore improved significantly because of our willingness to increase transparency with Verba Compare price comparison software. And on top of that, the Bookstore increased market share and gener- ated a valuable new source of income through affiliate commissions. I highly recommend Verba Software to any store who wants to improve public perception on textbook pricing and become more competitive with Internet competition." |

Pete LeBar, Allegheny College Bookstore
"The first time Verba blew my mind was with their price comparison software at CAMEX 2010. They continue to impress with an evolving set of tools and applications I just don't find anywhere else. Highly recommended for any store looking to analyze and improve online market share." |
