Built for Further Records

Your collectors have a new number.

Text to ask what just came in, check on a specific pressing, or get a heads up when something you've been looking for lands.

Why it works

People come back to places that remember them.

Maven only texts someone when there’s a reason. People can tell the difference.

What Maven does

Four ways Maven works.

01

Answers the question collectors actually ask

What just came in? Anything on this label? Is that repress still in stock? They text and get a real answer from your catalog.

02

Always knows what you have

Maven reads your real catalog. When something new comes in or sells out, the answers change too.

03

Matches by genre, format, label, and price

Jazz on vinyl under forty. Mint punk 7-inches. Anything on 4AD that came in this week. Maven filters instead of making people dig.

04

Texts collectors before the good stuff is gone

When a restock or limited pressing lands, Maven knows which regulars would care and can text them before it sells out.

The team side

The week’s work, counted.

One page shows the week: who was welcomed, what was answered, who came back. You can check every one.
