Documentation

Abelujo is a free (libre) software whose raison d'être is to help bookshops, either professionals or associations, to manage their stock of books, newspapers, CDs and other products.

It is used daily by professional booksellers as well as restaurants, theaters, associative bookstores or publishers in France, Switzerland, Belgium, Spain and Greece (and maybe more!).

Don't hesitate to contact us to ensure that the software suits your needs, or will.
