For Museums
Collection Management Built for Museums
Track your collection, manage loans, document conservation activity, and retain connected operational records for museum registrars and operations teams.
Inventory and Location Records
Keep searchable object records connected to the physical storage hierarchy. Staff can review identity, dimensions, material, photographs, documents, handling notes, condition information, and recorded location without rebuilding the history in separate files.
- Object records with artist, title, material, dimensions, photographs, value, and handling notes
- Supporting documents and condition information attached to the relevant object or job
- Recorded location history showing when, where, and by whom a movement was entered
- Search by identifiers and recorded object details before creating a duplicate record
Movement and Loan Workflows
Organize incoming and outgoing movements as jobs and work orders. Keep the responsible account, contacts, required dates, shipper or consignee, instructions, inventory, carrier references, and related documents connected to the same operational record.
- Collection, delivery, return, and transfer work orders tied to the same object identity
- Required dates, operational instructions, notes, and related documents kept with the work
- Recorded shipper, consignee, destination, and carrier references for each movement
- Transport manifests with assigned personnel, trucks, stop order, and special instructions
Conservation Documentation
Record condition observations with photographs and annotations before and after handling. Keep reports, special-handling information, and related documents with the object record so authorized staff can compare what was observed at different stages.
- Photo-based condition reports with annotation tools for precise damage documentation
- Condition report PDFs and supporting documents linked to the relevant object
- Fragile status and special-handling instructions available to authorized staff
- New observations recorded separately so they can be compared with earlier evidence
Environmental and Audit Records
Review environmental history, object movements, warehouse locations, and supporting documents from connected records. These histories help authorized staff answer operational, client, insurance, and internal-audit questions with traceable source information.
- Operational reports assembled from the inventory, job, work-order, and location record
- Temperature and humidity history for monitored storage zones
- Artwork values, photographs, and movement evidence available for authorized insurance review
- Attached source documents remain connected to the object or job that gives them context
