Feature Suggestions

Many works have similar titles or are untitled, so it is important to have the SKU or inventory number on the invoice

We export inventory data to CSV for reporting and workflows, but names and titles with accented characters (é, ñ, ü, ø, etc.) do not reliably export in a way that preserves the characters when opened in common tools (especially Excel). This causes corrupted text and manual cleanup, and it impacts international artist names and artwork titles. Request: • Export all CSV files in UTF-8. • For best compatibility, use UTF-8 with BOM (or provide an export option like “UTF-8 (Excel compatible)”). Acceptance criteria: • Export inventory to CSV, open in Excel and Google Sheets, accented characters display correctly. • Copy/paste and re-import workflows do not introduce character corruption.

Can you support copying and pasting artist invites into an email? They often end up in junk, or the artist just can't find them.

Ability to view inventory by framed (ex. yes or no)

The inventory list and the artist list do not interact. It would be great if I could be searching in inventory and click the artist name somehow to get to the contact and artist record. I remember discussing with you when we were training and we really think this would be a HUGE improvement to the platform. (This is the most important improvement we think would greatly improve efficiency on the platform)

When typing in a new inventory item, it automatically updates it on my website LIVE - even when I am not finished with typing in all the information or uploading photos. I wish I could press a PUBLISH button when ready to post the item instead of it being live as I enter the info. (I can do this on Weebly)

When working within an exhibition list, it would be ideal to select a few works within an exhibition, then batch edit them.

When an artwork is added to an exhibition list, it would be helpful to have that record populated underneath an artwork's "History" tab.

I love that you can merge contacts. I wish there was a feature to artists as well.

There's a need to export artist consignment report with some additional (optional) columns based around tax. At present, if the consignment type is an amount the report includes tax. If it's a percentage, it excludes tax. Let's have the option to export including and excluding tax for all calculations that require it. Possibly not a big deal for US based galleries but for anyone that charges GST or VAT it's difficult. I have to export the sales, go into the financials for every artwork in manager, calculate the amount and then change the consignment type to the calculated amount - then export all sold works again, remove the ones that are already paid from the spreadsheet, and then start processing the payments and then of course, marking the works as paid. It's a much more complicated process than it needs to be. This could be a system wide export option setting for those that need it. This could be an option on artists settings as some are TAX registered and some are not. Taking things a step further, how about an API connecting bank or stripe account with artists payment directly within artcloud that automatically log the payments against the work and the artist!
