Project
context

The challenge

How do you keep objects, documents and transactions connected throughout an auction?

Placeholder text · to be completed with the project team

At the heart of the ERP for art project is a journey that begins with object records and continues through to customer relationships. In the final version we will describe the starting situation, the people involved and the difficulties met in day-to-day work.

Here we will detail what had to be kept from the existing way of working and where change was needed. Concrete examples will explain why some steps took longer, what information was missing and how we set priorities together with the client.

What we
built

The solution
in brief.

A system built for auction houses, from cataloguing works and preparing events to managing transactions.

Placeholder text

In this section we will present the delivered components and the role of each. We will show how information moves between steps, what the user can do and what tools the team running the platform has at hand.

We will complete the description with the key design and development decisions: how we simplified interactions, how we handled exceptions and how we validated the solution before launch. The visuals below will illustrate these choices.

The main
steps

How it works.

  1. 01

    Object records

    Objects and their information form the base of the operational process.

    Preparing the auction

    Works are brought together in the context of an auction event.

  3. 03

    Managing transactions

    Event results are linked to the related transactions.

  4. 04

    Customer relationships

    Information supports continuity in the customer relationship.

05 /
Results

A common base for teams working with the same objects and information.

Results to be documented

We will complete this section with client-confirmed results: what changed in the team’s work, what feedback users gave and what we improved after launch. Figures and comparisons will be added after validation.
