We are all so used to buying books online at Amazon or Waterstones and at MPG Biddles we don't see why you shouldn't be able to place an order for the production of your books online. Our web based production management tool, Press2Book (incorporating the award winning Job Tracker), is easy to use and available 24/7 so you can view the progress of your jobs, calculate estimates, place orders, upload files to our FTP site at a time that suits you. The system works in any internet browser and on PCs or Apple Macs.

Press2Book is a bespoke system, written in industry standard applications, which means that we can develop and tailor it to suit our customers needs. It is also fully integrated with our management information system, Optimus 2020.

Features of Press2Book include:

Integrated upload to our FTP server

If you have an account set up you can upload files directly to your folder on our FTP server from within the Press2Book window. No need to remember your user name and password!

30 seconds and 3 mouse clicks to order reprints

Search our extensive reprint database to view a job reprint history and quickly re-order titles.

Job Quote

Calculate Publisher’s Choice quotes and request litho estimates. Save them to come back to later when you are ready to order.

Job Tracker

Track the progress of your print jobs throughout the production process 24/7. Automatic e-mail alerts confirm orders placed, cover proofs sent, overdue items and jobs delivered.

Where publishers have their own production systems and do not want to duplicate effort we work with their IT departments to export data from their systems which can then flow automatically into our own MIS.
