Overview of artbutler services
Would you like to know how our artbutler software can simplify your work?
Here you will find an example of the numerous possibilities.
By the way: artbutler can be used with Mac OS X (versions from 10.5 onwards) and Windows (2000/XP/Vista/7).
| Compile and retrieve contacts, works of art and activities. | In artbutler you can compile client data, works of art you are managing and activities such as exhibitions, commissions or additional information e.g. references to literature. In linking up this information you can, for example, call up all information on each of your contacts quickly and simply. |
| Easily compile offers | With a few clicks you can compile an offer for any contact! You can add any works of art to an offer, send the offer per email or print out an offer template and send it by post, including illustrations, of course. artbutler automatically saves the information on each work of art – to whom, when and under which conditions you offered it. |
| Manage commissions | In artbutler you can compile which works of art you have consigned to whom or which works of art have been consigned to you. You can set yourself reminders of deadlines in your schedule. |
| Compile invoices in a few clicks | If you record a work of art as sold, you can immediately create an invoice and, using individual templates, print it as a word document or PDF file. The sold work of art receives a record which can be used for provenance. Later on, you can easily call up which works of art a particular client has already bought from you. |
| Create individual document templates quickly and easily | In a few minutes you can create templates for your offers, invoices, delivery notes and all other documents you might want using data from artbutler even on the basis of already existing MS Word or OpenOffice documents! Now you can create documents anytime using these templates as a basis. Your documents will then have a unified, professional appearance. You can, of course, edit each document individually after it has been created. |
| Create all kinds of lists | Lists of commission, delivery notes, works of art for exhibitions, price lists or any other kind of list can be created within seconds – with all the necessary information and illustrations! |
| Send emails | You can also send any information on works of art or offers including picture data by email. With one click the email is created with its attachment, can be edited by you in your email programme and then sent off as usual. |
| Print labels | Choose a required label format and print labels for works of art, exhibitions, ektachromes or addresses for your invitations. |
| Prepare mail merges | If you want to send out personalised mail merges to selected clients, this can be done comfortably using the document templates. |
| View works of art as a slideshow | You can view any compilations of works of art as a slideshow. This mode is ideal for presentations, client discussions or, for example, to test the effect of a certain sequence of works of art for catalogues. |
| Illustrations in various resolutions | If you link picture files to your works of art, versions in different resolutions are automatically created for further use in printing, sending emails or viewing on screen. You can access these picture files at any time independent of artbutler in order to use or edit them. |
| Keep track of deadlines | Commission and invoice deadlines as well as exhibition dates are presented in the schedule. This ensures you won’t miss any dates or deadlines. |
| Various currencies | Prices can be entered in various currencies. artbutler also supports the conversion of prices into other currencies and updates the exchange rates. |
| Barcode Support | Print inventory numbers as barcodes on your work and image labels and compile workgroups, delivery notes and the like with a barcode scanner in no time. |
| artbutler Exchange Format | Export works complete with their related images into the artbutler exchange format and re-import them into a different artbutler database. They are immediately available without the need to enter anything manually. For example, send commission work in artbutler exchange format to your partner gallery or share work records with your artists. |
| Access regulations for multiple employees | You can determine which users may access which information via the user rights system in artbutler. This makes it easy to enable only certain users to book sales or access price information. |
| Network capability | artbutler is available as a single-user version or a network-compatible multi-user version. You can also use it together from several different work stations. |
| Update website | Thanks to artbutler easyweb you can also update your web page with data from artbutler. This means that any exhibitions or works of art you have created on artbutler don’t need to be re-entered but can be transferred to your web page in a few clicks. |
