I was tasked with finding a new inventory system for the Arthur Roger Gallery and after months of research and discussions with various companies, I selected Artlogic. There are a few videos, but given the complexity of the program, easily searchable instructional databases could save significant staff and training time, both for Artlogic’s clients and for their technical support team. The other perplexing con is the absence of an online manual, FAQ, or user discussion group. Artlogic has been approached about this, but does not see the need for offering these features common in much less pricey databases. “”) - one must click though a drop down calendar, and for dates that are decades in the past this is a carpal tunnel hazard requiring scores of clicks to enter a single date. Especially vexing is the process for entering dates - it is not possible to enter a date with keystrokes (ie. The simple ability for clients to create user defined fields, or at a minimum, hide fields not relevant to a gallery’s business model, would save hours of tabbing, scrolling, hunting and pecking. Navigation is not always intuitive, and the learning curve with this program is steep. Artlogic has taken the approach of creating a plethora of data entry fields - literally hundreds - in the contacts and artworks entry panes. Given the sophistication of this system, several easily remedied cons are perplexing. I found their support service to be better than any other database I've worked through. I used this extensively and found that it was very applicable when looking for the right clients for a particular event. The searching mechanism is one super useful feature. I can send out event invitations, register attendees at an event in real time, tag all attendees automatically. I can see the purchase order, shipping docket, the original offer, the tracking of the shipment. I can see what artworks a client was offered, bought, received, the amount paid, where it was shipped to, who shipped it, when they received it, the dimensions of the crate. They have an accounting database which also works with the main database. I can email a client directly from the database, attach artwork images in various sizes and make an offer all in one go. Navigation is very easy, everything is clear.Īrtlogic can also design your website, and link it to the DB. It's comfortable and sleek unlike a lot of databases.
