Serious and successful art businesses run on a great amount of detailed information. How accurately the information is recorded, how clearly it is organized, and how efficiently it is integrated is critical to success.

The world’s most successful art galleries — large and small — all know that the best information-management solution is implementing and utilizing a relational-database art gallery management software system, and they all have done so. This kind of system saves untold amounts of staff time by recording, automatically cross-linking, and tracking essential information — inventory, contacts, transactions, and more — in one easily accessible place.

The best of these systems does not require entry of any detail more than once, with related records such as an artwork, its invoice, and buyer-contact tightly cross-linked — moving from one to the other with a click. The time-saving efficiency and powerful reach made possible by this sort of automation and integration in a quality database system is so important to a successful gallery that any system utilized should be the best available: well proven, comprehensive, well supported, and designed specifically for complete fine art gallery management. As the central core of gallery operations, this is no place to cut corners.
