Sound familiar?
A single client collection can represent millions of dollars in assets across multiple locations. The tools most advisors use to manage that responsibility were built for something else entirely.
Collection Pilot was built by art advisors who lived this problem and decided to fix it.
“Collection Pilot has transformed how we manage our clients’ collections. The reporting alone has saved us countless hours.”
Simple by design
Three steps is all it takes to transform how you run your practice.
Create your account, configure your firm, and invite your team. Most advisors are fully set up in a single afternoon.
Bring your existing records in from Collector Systems, Artlogic, or your own spreadsheet — one pass, with a preview before anything is saved. Every acquisition captures images, provenance, financials, and documents, all linked to the artists, galleries, and contacts behind it.
Give each client a branded portal to view their collection, track wishlists, download reports, and run slideshows of their artwork.
Getting your records in
The part everyone dreads, and the reason most advisors stay where they are. It happens in one pass: you see exactly what will change before anything is saved, and any import can be undone for 30 days. Or hand us your files and we will do the whole migration for a flat fee.

Export your data, drop the whole folder in, and we work out what each file is — acquisitions, artists, contacts, collections and galleries in one pass.

Your custom export and your contacts export, read straight from Artlogic’s own column names. Gallery-business columns we have no screen for are kept as a spreadsheet rather than dropped.
Fill in our template — a row for each acquisition — and import it back into Collection Pilot. Artists, galleries and collections you name on a row are created and linked for you. Separate sheets cover artists, contacts and galleries, so the artists you follow without owning any of their work — wish lists, watch lists, often thousands of names — come in as well.
From intake to insight, Collection Pilot centralizes your entire operation.
One dashboard for every client and every collection. See total value, cost basis, appreciation, and acquisition count at a glance, then drill into any single collection for the full picture. The performance numbers advisors once spent hours assembling in spreadsheets are calculated automatically and refresh the moment anything changes.
Every detail captured once, accessible anywhere — images, provenance, dimensions, condition, valuations, and documents on a single record, with auto-save so you never lose your work. Log appraisals, capitalized expenses, and sales, and the financial math is handled automatically. Smart Search surfaces any work the instant you need it.
Every artwork’s paper trail in one place — COAs, invoices, valuations, and gallery contracts, linked to the acquisitions, collections, artists, and galleries they belong to. Capture them straight from your inbox with the Outlook add-in, preview PDFs in the app, share through the client portal, and bulk-download by artist or collection.
A true relational system across three levels — the individual, the artist, and the gallery. Rich profiles capture representation, exhibition history, and every purchase. AI updates gallery rosters as artists move, and an Outlook add-in files any email and its attachments to the right contact, artist, gallery, or acquisition — no copy-paste, no lost paper trail.
Manage the work that every collection requires: research, appraisals, conservation, framing, installation, insurance, invoicing & billing, marketing, proposals, shipping, and anything you define. Assign tasks to your team, monitor their statuses, and receive notifications when something is blocked or completed.
Clients log in to see their collection exactly as you intend it — every work, value, and detail. They can edit wishlists, set budgets and priorities, track analytics, download reports, and run full-screen slideshows of their holdings. It’s a live, two-way view that builds trust and ends the endless emailing of PDFs back and forth.
Generate portfolio reports and catalog sheets in seconds, not hours — formatted, branded, and ready to share. Track total gain, CAGR, MOIC, and performance over time across any collection. AI-powered insights surface which artists are driving returns and where to invest next, turning raw numbers into the story you tell your clients.
Plan your social content alongside the art-world events that matter — gallery openings, museum exhibitions, and the fairs you’re watching or attending — on one calendar your whole team shares. And AI scans the art world, matching relevant fairs, openings, and exhibitions to each client’s interests, so you always have a reason to reach out.
Your whole practice in your pocket. Browse, search, and edit every collection, artwork, artist, and document on iPhone or iPad. Photograph a work at a fair and attach it straight to an acquisition, or share a client’s portfolio as a polished PDF in person. The AI Assistant comes too, answering plain-English questions about your collection anywhere — a genuine native app on the App Store.
“With hundreds of objects across multiple locations, Collection Pilot has been an extraordinary game-changer — I can see every detail and document in one place.”

Purpose-built
Most art software is built for galleries, optimized for inventory control and sales pipelines. That's a different business with a different logic.
Collection Pilot is purpose-built for art advisors, designed around how collections are developed, managed, and experienced over time — at one flat price for your whole firm, with no per-seat fees.

Feature and pricing claims are based on each vendor’s published documentation and pricing pages as of June 2026; always confirm current pricing on each provider’s site. The “cost for a 5-person firm” row reflects each tool’s price for a five-person team. Collection Pilot is one flat price per firm — $149/mo includes up to 5 users, so a five-person firm pays the same as a solo advisor. Collector Systems (CS Enterprise — its advisor-recommended plan — $185/user/mo) charges per user, which is $925/mo for five. (Its cheaper CS Core, $95/user, caps storage at 10GB and is aimed at private clients and museums — not advisory-scale collections.) Artlogic charges per user; its Collection Platform (the product comparable to advisory work) runs about $90/user — roughly $450/mo for five — while its selling-gallery platform costs far more. Artlogic pricing is quote-gated (“from” rates routed to sales). CollectorIQ’s Advisor plan ($249/mo) is a single-advisor account that manages multiple client collections; teams with several advisors need a custom Enterprise plan.
