In bookselling, minutes matter.
Downtime stalls product listings, slows fulfillment, and drains your resources’ productivity.
That’s why we’ve built Upright Books utilizing Amazon Web Services (AWS), a cloud platform engineered for security, resilience, and speed. So, your operation keeps moving no matter what.
Security By Design
AWS is widely recognized as one of the most secure cloud environments. Leading global businesses like AstraZeneca, BASF, and General Electric trust their platform’s innovation with AWS, and Upright is no different.
Upright Books leverages encryption in transit and at rest, fine-grained access controls, and network isolation to protect seller, buyer, and operational data. The result is enterprise-grade safeguards without enterprise overhead.
Reliability You Can Plan Around
We designed Upright Books with uptime as a top priority. AWS gives us built-in redundancy across availability zones, automated backups and disaster recovery, plus real-time monitoring and alerting.
For booksellers, this means consistent performance and fewer interruptions to intake, pricing, picking, and purging. Our target is 99.9%+ uptime so teams can rely on the system during core hours.
Performance and Scale When You Need It
Peaks happen in resale. Donation drives, back-to-school textbook season, holidays, and more. With AWS auto-scaling and low-latency services, scan-to-sort, pricing, and listing stay fast even at volume. You get today’s speed and tomorrow’s headroom without re-platforming.
More Innovation For Booksellers
Because AWS handles the undifferentiated heavy lifting, our team ships what helps you most:
- Mobile Scan-to-Sort
- Automated initial pricing with evolving repricing tools
- Inventory insights and purge lists
- New marketplace integrations
- A modern, scalable foundation
