From one local computer to a collection that works everywhere.

OriginArt relied on an outdated system that ran on a single computer. We replaced it with one browser platform for collection management, loans and client presentations — available on every computer and mobile device.

Privacy remains the default.

Most clients prefer to keep their internal processes private. We fully respect that. As a client, you will only appear in a case study if that is something you actively want.

The old system could no longer keep up.

The application only worked locally and its fixed structure could not accommodate new fields. More workarounds accumulated over time, increasing the risk of data-entry errors. Client presentations remained manual too: build a PDF, upload it to Drive and share it again after every change.

We turned a rigid local archive into a digital workflow that moves with both the team and the collection.

The complete collection, wherever the team works.

The new system runs directly in the browser. On a computer, tablet or phone, employees open the same up-to-date collection and immediately see where a work is and who it is on loan to.

  • Accessible anywhere through the browser
  • Current status and client for every artwork
  • A flexible data structure without workarounds

One scan connects the physical work to the right record.

Each artwork can carry a barcode label. An employee scans it with a mobile phone, opens the correct work immediately and updates its status or loan without searching through the collection first.

From selection to public link.

A chosen set of works becomes a polished online presentation. OriginArt shares one public link and can update the selection without creating a new PDF and Drive link every time.

Search for what you mean, not only for what was entered exactly.

Text and visual AI search lets OriginArt explore the collection in everyday language, ask questions or find similar works from an image.

Before

  • Local access on one computer only
  • Rigid fields and error-prone workarounds
  • Manual PDF and Drive presentations
  • Limited collection search

With the custom system

  • A browser platform for desktop and mobile
  • Scan barcodes and update status immediately
  • A flexible collection with text and visual AI search
  • Share selections through a public web page

Modernising without bringing daily work to a halt.

All data was checked and moved in phases while OriginArt could continue working in the old system. An automated migration and cleanup tool normalised data-entry errors without altering the old database.

  1. Old system remains available
  2. Migrate and normalise data
  3. Switch over with confidence
