Time to value

Long Setup (> 1 day)

You can use Ossus to manage library collections, circulation, and cataloging for public and school libraries. It lets you conduct shelf inventory simply by taking photos of book spines, which flags misplaced titles automatically. You can also compare prices across multiple book suppliers to find the most cost-effective orders, track non-book equipment like laptops and instruments, and find relevant grants with drafted applications. It keeps patron data secure by processing only catalog metadata while helping your staff spend less time on manual administrative tasks.
