Convelio’s Inventory Management Sofware: A Game-Changer for the Art Industry

Convelio announces the release of a groundbreaking Inventory Management Sofware (IMS) — a solution designed to transform how fine art and high-value collections are managed.

Managing fine art and high-value collections is a complex, demanding task—but it doesn’t have to be. At Convelio, we’re proud to introduce our Inventory Management Software (IMS), an innovative platform designed to simplify inventory oversight, enhance operational efficiency, and give art professionals complete control over their collections.

For Art Professionals, By Art Professionals

We understand the challenges of art logistics because we’ve lived them. When existing inventory tools didn’t meet standards for operational control and excellence, we decided to create our own. We’re now bringing the same innovation to inventory management.

Crafted by our dedicated product engineering team and shaped by insights from registrars and clients, the IMS addresses real-world pain points. Every feature is guided by our client’s feedback, ensuring the platform continues to evolve with the needs of the art world.

Our vision? To build an all-in-one system that art operations teams will love.

The Everyday Struggles of Art Operations

Imagine this: You’re a registrar at a bustling gallery that needs to confirm the location of a key artwork for an upcoming exhibition. You sift through spreadsheets, scroll endlessly through email chains, and make frantic calls to storage providers, only to uncover a discrepancy —what’s on record doesn’t match the reality.

Now consider this: You’re part of the Pre-Sales Ops team an auction house preparing for a high-profile sale. You need to ensure every item is ready, but with no real-time visibility, coordinating between customs, storage, and shipping providers becomes a logistical headache — any minor disruption could throw off the entire timeline.

These scenarios are all too familiar for art professionals. Managing fine art and high-value collections often means navigating limited visibility, outdated tools, and error-prone manual processes.

Such challenges don’t just slow operations —they create stress, inefficiency, and risk. The need for precision, speed, and transparency has never been greater.

This is where Convelio’s Inventory Management Sofware (IMS) steps in, revolutionizing the way art professionals manage their collections.
