SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
A group of seven Texas colleges is seeking a vendor to develop and provide an online bookstore and marketplace portal. The portal must include robust faculty adoption tools, enabling faculty to submit textbook, art supplies, non-text material lists, and add notes as part of the course material adoption process. The system should facilitate communications such as notifications and reminders for faculty regarding adoptions, allow users to start and save adoption submissions before final approval, and provide a preview feature prior to submission.
Administrators must be able to manage communications with faculty and oversee the adoption process. The portal is expected to support real-time and routine reporting capabilities, including book buy-back metrics each semester and comprehensive tracking of student purchases. Additionally, the solution should include a voucher or charging system tailored for student groups as identified by the colleges, with reporting on all vouchers created for each student throughout the semester.
The store's inventory should offer a wide selection of professional and academic merchandise, and deliver high-quality customer service during peak and off-peak times. The payment system should accept credit, debit, vouchers, and financial aid to ensure accessibility for all students.
