Built for publishers, not adapted from generic ERP.
Wafi for Book Publishers runs titles and editions, print runs, retail counters, online orders and royalty on a single ledger. A sale at the counter moves stock, posts to accounts and accrues royalty in one step.

The six modules publishers open every day
Books
Every title, edition and reprint as its own record, with stock that stays accurate across warehouses.
Royalty
Royalty accrues as books sell, at the rate set per title or edition. No month-end spreadsheet reconstruction.
Author portal
Authors sign in and see their own sales and statements. Nobody emails a statement again.
Sales & POS
Counter sales, wholesale and dealer pricing on the same catalogue and the same stock.
Manufacturing
Print runs as work orders, with paper and binding costs rolling into a live cost per copy.
E-commerce & website
Your storefront sells from the same stock the counter does, with pages your team edits.
How one sale becomes an author statement
Each author agreement carries its rate, the titles it covers and any advance already paid. A different rate for a paperback edition is a separate line, not a separate spreadsheet.
At the counter, on the website, or on a wholesale invoice. The line knows the title, the edition and the price it actually sold at.
The system applies the contract rate at the moment of sale, so accrued royalty is always current rather than calculated at month end.
Where an advance exists, accrual offsets it first. The balance is visible to both your finance team and the author.
Every author has a statement per title and per edition, with ageing. Your team does not assemble it — it already exists.
The request arrives with the statement attached to it. Settlement posts to the ledger and the history stays on the author record.
One invoice screen for counters and distributors
Whether the sale is a single copy at the counter or two hundred to a distributor, it is entered once, on the same screen, against the same catalogue.
Every sale, print bill and royalty in one ledger
Counter cash, marketplace settlements, paper suppliers, press payments and author payouts all post to the same books. Nothing is re-keyed into accounts at month end.
The AI layer reads your own books
Not a chatbot bolted on the side. It answers from your catalogue, your stock and your sales history, and it handles the conversations your team currently answers by hand.

We've got answers.
No. Titles, editions, reprints, royalty rates and author statements are first-class records, not custom fields bolted onto a product table. That is the difference that decides whether royalty works.
Yes. It is a Wafi Solutions product used by publishers internationally. Currency, tax treatment, payment gateways and courier partners are configured per deployment.
Not necessarily. Publishers usually start with the modules where the pain is — typically royalty and stock — and move the storefront or counters later. Integrations exist for accounting, gateways and couriers if you intend to keep something in place.
They are migrated: titles, editions, stock positions, author contracts and opening balances, including royalty already accrued or advanced. We reconcile against your current figures before go-live.
No. An author signs in and sees their own titles, sales, statements and payment status. Most publishers find the volume of statement requests to their finance team drops to almost nothing.
It depends on the modules you switch on, the number of counters and outlets, and whether the storefront is part of the scope. Tell us how your business runs and we will come back with a figure.
