What People Are Saying About Collectify What People Are Saying About Collectify


What I liked best about Collectify was the ability to personalize it to my collecting
needs. You can use it on a very simple level or organize your collection on a very deep
and sophisticated level. Collectors will find this software easy to use.

I am not a novice to collection software. My gallery runs on a combined stock and
accounting program that I wrote myself, so I have a good working knowledge of database
design. I have reviewed all the major products available on the market and have usually
come away disappointed. I have yet to find anything as elegantly designed, as intuitive
and as sensitively sculpted to the needs of collection management as Collectify. I will be
recommending this program with the greatest of enthusiasm to all of our clients.
Collectify is a database masterpiece.

I once heard Barbara Rose, a notable art critic, speak about collecting. She commented
that while moving from her residence of many years to a new apartment, she had decided
to make handwritten lists of the many, many things she had accumulated. Barbara
discovered she had over 13 unique collections! They ranged from her contemporary
paintings to her collection of Kimonos and Bakelite hair combs. She found a certain self-
satisfaction in quantifying the diversity of her interests as well as realizing the worth of it
all having it cataloged allowed her to determine its value.

It has been about 12 years since hearing Barbara discuss her discoveries and I have
wanted to do the same ever since. I am sure I have acquired varied treasures with equal
enthusiasm. Collectify, with its predetermined, yet flexible, input forms and the reach of
the detailed questions asked, has me on the path to full enlightenment! The simple, easy
to negotiate layouts, the cataloging and indexing functions, the cross-reference tools, the
easy to access insurance and valuation information, the ease of adding digital photos
what depth! What encouragement to catalog! What inspiration to collect more!

[Collectify] is an excellent software program used by many collectors whose inventory
needs have grown beyond a do-it-yourself system. This easy to use software allows you to catalog, track and share information with others making it easy to get your advisory
team the data they need to create an appropriate art succession plan and make sure you
have the proper insurance coverage. It was developed according to the Getty Object ID
Standards (www.object-id.com) and is suitable to manage any type of collection from
poker chips and pens, to fine wines and vintage cars.

Planning Strategies for Collectors of Art, Antiques, and Collectibles (Wealth

A snap to install and a breeze to use -- the customization features really set it apart from
all other collections management products on the market today. Wonderful for the
experienced and the novice user alike -- I've never seen a product this complete. The
great thing about Collectify is the ease with which you can add your own fields to suit
your own collection. Simply the best cataloging software Ive ever used.

The software is great. Its not often that you run a new and sophisticated program and
intuitively navigate through it without difficulty. I really like the flexibility of it.
