WanderCollections offers a powerful acquisition management module, an indispensable tool for libraries that want to streamline their processes. At the University of Antwerp, the Department of Library & Archives uses it every day to manage budgets and suppliers, place orders, track subscriptions and process invoices.

The acquisition module is a great help for us to efficiently coordinate the workflow. We manage more than 8,000 orders and 2,000 subscriptions annually. - Luca Maggiore, Head of Acquisition & Metadata

From order to receipt — everything happens within WanderCollections. Even communication with suppliers takes place via the integrated email system.

🌟 What makes this module so valuable?

  • User friendly: Even job students can carry out tasks independently after a short training.
  • Responsive Helpdesk: Problems are resolved quickly and professionally.
  • Continuous evolution: Thanks to close cooperation with the Wander team, the module is constantly being improved.

A good example of this collaboration is the link with the University of Antwerp's financial system. Through a EBS web service invoices are automatically imported into WanderCollections. Employees only need to validate and make the right link to orders, subscriptions and budgets.

In addition, WanderCollections offers the possibility to bibliographic data of importing an order from national and international catalogues — or from your own catalog if the publication is already available.
