ArtBinder reviews
What our experts say
Pros:
The first thing that every user of ArtBinder mentions is an intuitive and straightforward interface, and an Inventory Manager tool. The cloud-based system makes it not only possible but effective to collaborate with clients and colleagues, even if you are away from the gallery.
As a user noted, “save hours upon hours organizing artworks directly from the app. Showcase your gallery, sell pieces, and send invoices directly from my iPad. Before I used the app, I read about the founder in an article and was super impressed that not only was it founded by a woman, but it was introduced in my city during Art Basel.”
Built-in Customization is another feature that users especially appreciate. To fit your specific needs, you can access and customize fields, and modify reports and templates.
“It has everything we need: white-glove customer support, super user-friendly, and extremely well designed especially for an industry all about aesthetics,” as per one user.
Such a tool as Contact Manager is designed to share content via Email and Messaging and invite clients and collectors to private virtual viewings.
Furthermore, users say that ArtBinder assists at every stage of the sales process, from presentation to inquiry to final sales and payments. It does not only help you to manage offers and client negotiations, but also track object financials and currency conversion, and create invoices, consignments and loan forms. (The feature that simplifies paperwork and delivers accurate and consistent reports.)
To continue improving client relationships, ArtBinder makes it easy to organize and access client information by tracking previous interactions, buyers’ and collectors’ preferences, and their purchase history. (View detailed insights into profits, costs and other transparent financial reporting on each artwork and transaction.) While accessing that data you can personalize your communication, increase engagement, and drive sales.
Finally, ArtBinder provides data on the availability, location and condition of each artwork, ensuring you always know where your pieces are, and can send up-to-date records to your clients.
Cons:
Several users noted that although “the app itself is free, the features are not. Should be a one-time payment thing and not a sort of bait and switch.” However, they add that ArtBinder is worth the money, but a notice on upcoming payments would make it easier to plan the budget.
