The partnership between the two education powerhouses not only ensures that Van Schaik’s customers have access to ebooks from leading publishers, but that educational institutions can use Snapplify’s Engage platform to simplify their purchasing processes and order all the books they need – in both hardcopy and digital formats.‘It’s really important to us that institutions, educators and students have everything they need to succeed. Our Engage platform offers schools an efficient way to order both hardcopy and digital textbooks online, all in one place,’ explained Snapplify’s CEO, Wesley Lynch.
‘Working closely with booksellers like Van Schaik means that we will be able to reach even more institutions with these time-saving tools and give them the ability to find and choose whatever content they need, in whatever format they prefer.’

This partnership with Snapplify will demonstrate once again our commitment to bring study material within reach of every school and learner in the format as needed. We have full confidence that this relationship will benefit not just the two parties but most importantly our customers.’
