About CollecOnline

1Inventory your collection online

CollecOnline is an online inventory and exhibition platform for art and collectibles. It allows private collectors and professionals to catalog all the information about their objects (photographs, descriptions, purchase information, certificate of authenticity, etc.), then display them in virtual 3D galleries.

Once digitized, you will have access to a catalog of features allowing you to manage your collection on a daily basis.

Whether you're an art lover, an antique coin collector, a fossil or mineral enthusiast, or a a vintage car collector, you'll find our platform a simple and intuitive way to enhance your collection.

2Organize a virtual exhibition

Once you have finished listing your objects (photographs, description, purchase information...) you will enjoy admiring and re-discovering your collection through a traditional online gallery (mosaic format), or through a real virtual gallery in 3D!

Your gallery will be accessible by a simple web browser, whether on your computer or on your phone.

If you are attached to paper, you will also have the possibility of printing beautiful catalogs of your collection that you will enjoy sharing with other collectors or art lovers.

3Control the confidentiality of your collectibles

You can adjust the confidentiality of your collectibles as you please.

Either share your collection with the world or keep it private, or choose to show it exclusively to your connections.

As on a social network, your connections and followers will receive notifications on their wall about your new acquisitions if you chose to display them publicly.

4Protect your valuables

It might be odd to assume that listing your collectibles online would make them safer. However, not doing so can have unpleasant consequences in your daily life. Fire, burglary, inheritance, divorce, tax declaration, counterfeit... In such situations you must be able to provide a precise inventory of your belongings.

For instance, in the -not so unusual- case of a burglary, it is necessary to swiftly provide all information available to the police in order to facilitate the investigation and make sure that your collectibles are returned to you once they are found. It is also crucial to have the ability to make your collection public in a few clicks so it can be shared with your connections, on forums, social networks... In such situation, it is important to act fast before your collectibles are sold on various channels. You can also count on the solidarity of fellow collectors who will relay the information and be vigilant when relatable items appear on the market.

5Manage your network

On CollecOnline, you can add Connections to your network in order to follow their activity on your news feed. You can set the level of confidentiality of your collections and objects in order to share them with your connections only if you don't want to make them public.

Our solution gives you access to many features that enable you to chat privately with other collectors, comment collectibles and public collections, or communicate about events and findings thanks to your personal blog.

You can also help or ask for help in order to identify a collectible, appraise an object, offer some to trade, or announce that you are searching for one specific artefact to complete your collection.

6Build a precise inventory of your collectibles

Every item has its place in our database, so it's important to us to work with specialists in their field to build the most precise classification tree possible. CollecOnline has one of the most comprehensive classification trees on the market. You'll find over 15,000 categories and features, all accessible in 6 different languages. This tree structure has been built by collectors for collectors. We'll be happy to discuss your requirements if your theme is not yet sufficiently developed. Once inventoried, it's easy to find an item via your collection portal or our search engine.

7Start your group

Besides managing private collections, you can also join or create a group on CollecOline.

A group enables you to gather and/or join other collectors around a community, in order to exchange about various art and collection-related topics. Associations, specialized databases, museum or scientific collections ? You can have your own space on CollecOnline.

There are already various roles within a group:

• Administrators: have all powers to manage the group (members' permissions, publishing articles on the blog, creating collections and objects...).
• Contributors: can add collections and objects to the group
• Members: can follow the group on their news feed, read the articles and see the collections and objects protected by "Members" confidentiality.
• Followers: can follow the group on their news feed and see only the collections see items shared by the group on its wall.

For example, we host the project of a dozen experts in Gallic coins who started a database in order to set a reference in this field. Also, the Banque de France banknotes database, managed by a collector, already counts more than 1,000 historical banknotes with description, pictures and price estimation.

Once your group created, you are able to publish articles in your personal blog, and followers can suscribe to your group in order to be notified in their news feed..
