Inspirational Publishers Group (IPG), in conjunction with GL Services and their publishing clients-Multnomah Publishers, Regal Books, Gospel Light and Moody Publishers-will launch the new One-Box Service on Monday.

This service, powered by GL Services through IPG, will allow Christian-market stores to receive publisher direct prices in one consolidated box, with one order, one box, one invoice and one return.

“Our publishing clients … have heard the call from (Christian) retailers for better ways to work together and have joined forces to make this happen,” said Mark Hatch, president of GL Services and IPG. “We look forward to the next six months as we integrate our other IPG clients.”

The One-Box Service is “a cost-saving solution that was created to help retailers solve financial and operational challenges,” the company said in a statement. Instead of multiple boxes for invoices and orders, only one is used, and stores receive publisher-direct discounts instead of distributor discounts, the statement said.

“We expect the 'one order, one shipment, one invoice' program to improve the efficiency of our sales relationship with Christian retailers, creating cost and time savings for stores,” said Don Jacobson, president of Multnomah Publishers.
