Overview
ARTERNAL is a cloud-based platform for the art industry that helps art dealers, galleries, and collectors manage relationships, inventory, and sales, as well as organize art fairs. It combines CRM, inventory control, and sales tools with features like online viewing rooms to generate leads, all accessible from anywhere thanks to AWS cloud hosting. Users pay a monthly or annual subscription to access the suite of tools, which automate administrative tasks so clients can focus on client relationships. Unlike tools that specialize in only one area, ARTERNAL offers an integrated solution for multiple parts of the art business, including lead generation and event management. The goal is to streamline operations, improve client engagement, and grow sales for art professionals by providing a single, scalable platform.
