From Gesso · Now inviting pilot galleries
The back office for galleries.
Consignments, inventory, holds, sales, and what you owe each artist, in one place your whole staff can see.
What it does
Ten jobs, done in one place.
The jobs a gallery repeats every week, from taking in a consignment to paying the artist. Each one works on its own, and together they keep every record in step.
- 01 Add an artist and their terms Split, discounts, and who pays card fees, kept with the artist.
- 02 Take in a consignment Check works in and print the receipt the artist signs.
- 03 Catalog every work Photos, sizes, editions, and price history on one page.
- 04 Know where everything is On the wall, in storage, at a fair, or out on approval.
- 05 Hold a work for a collector Set an end date for the hold, so the same work never sells twice.
- 06 Send a price list Tearsheets and price lists as PDFs, in your gallery's style.
- 07 Record a sale Take a deposit, charge the balance by card, and mark it sold everywhere.
- 08 Pay your artists A statement for each artist, and a record of every payout.
- 09 Find anything Any work, person, or invoice from one search box.
- 10 See what's due Holds ending, payments owed, payouts due, and works going back.
