Campus Stores juggle faculty adoptions, orders across distributors, a separate online store, and buyback events. HokuBook runs every stage in one suite, and every product works on its own.
Decision · Adopt
Faculty submit materials in one place, and your team approves them or sends them back for revision with a note. Each course locks the moment every material is approved.
Procurement · Source
Upload your want list and thousands of booksellers across multiple marketplaces compete for your order. Everything is inspected and consolidated at our warehouse before it ships.
Registration · Enroll
Students register for courses and see the exact title, edition, and ISBN each one requires, straight from approved adoptions.
Sales · Virtual Store
When students sign in, their enrolled courses and required materials are already there, with new, used, and preorder pricing side by side.
Buyback · Online Buyback
Students get an instant quote, ship for free, and get paid by PayPal or Venmo. Books go straight to HokuBook, so you never handle the inventory.
Sign up free, with no contracts and no setup fees. Add Adopt, Enroll, Virtual Store, and Online Buyback as you’re ready - one suite, one set of course data.
