Not a ticket queue. A person.

Why schools switch

The reasons Bookmark users tell us they’re looking.

📚

The Bookmark problem

“Cataloguing a book means logging into SCIS, scanning ISBNs, downloading a file, finding the file, importing the file, then entering each book’s copy details one at a time.”

The SmartSuite Library difference

SmartSuite Library catalogues a book in under 5 seconds. Scan the ISBN, scan the barcode, save. Covers, MARC data, and curriculum tags flow in automatically from SCIS. No downloads. No file pickers. No 15-ISBN batch limits. One window, two scans, done.

☁️

The Bookmark problem

“Bookmark runs on a Windows computer in the library. If that PC dies, the library stops.”

The SmartSuite Library difference

SmartSuite Library is cloud-native. There’s no library computer to back up, restore, or replace. Your team can catalogue from any device, your students can search the catalogue from their iPads or Chromebooks, and your data is backed up automatically. Your library doesn’t depend on a single machine, or a single person to remember to back it up.

🇦🇺

The Bookmark problem

“Schools want long-term confidence in the system their library depends on.”

The SmartSuite Library difference

FSI has been building library software for Australian schools for 40+ years. We’re family-owned, second-generation managed, and our entire team (development, support, onboarding) is Australian. Your data is hosted in Australia, your phone calls are answered in Australia, and your roadmap is built around the Australian Curriculum.
