"I have used Collecte and its predecessor E-Image for "everything possible"; basic cataloguing, small and large inventory projects, information and other customer service, collection changes, archive reorganisation, exhibition planning"
Susanna Hakkarainen, University Museum of Helsinki, Member of the Collecte Steering Group.
Software
Key features
Collecte is a Finnish, intuitive and adaptable collection management system that enables cataloguing according to the international CIDOC CRM model.
Collecte provides museums and foundations with a single, centralised cataloguing and storage solution for their collections;
works of art, light fixtures or, for example, furniture. Since it is also simple to save photos etc. in Collecte, the software is an excellent fit to associations of various sizes.
The benefits of Collecte
Easy to use and easy to operate
The service is designed to be flexible and easy to use. We offer Collect as a SaaS service. The service is hosted on servers located in Finland.
Flexible for your own use and efficient for Finna
Customisable storage forms and Finna connectivity form the core of collection management. Publishing data in Finna ensures that a customer does not need their own publication system.
The size of our customers' collections varies greatly. We plan our disk space requirements on a client-by-client basis. If/when the collection expands and the amount of material increases, the disk space on the server will increase as needed. Costs are also determined by the size of the collection, so you only pay for what you need.
Making digital assets useful
Collecte provides a digital repository for virtually any type of material object. The system stores all information about the material, from the insurance value to the acquisition lot to the image file.
Extensive search functions make it possible to download the results from the data, for example, to an Excel file. The collection management system can also be used for recording regional cultural heritage and the data can be used for research or other purposes.
By using a digital collection management tool, your data is safe, up-to-date and complete on backed-up servers. Missing data is easy to find and can be filled in when needed.
