ArtBase Go: Mobile Suite
The ArtBase Go suite of mobile apps are: SalesBook, Live, and Info. These tools work together with ArtBase and with each other on iPad and iPhone to make sure you have your information where and when you need it. SalesBook is the showcase of these mobile apps and focusses on presentation to make working with your clients, your information, and your images seamless at every step of the sales process.

ArtBase turns your day-to-day business activity into an organized, searchable, crossreferenced treasure trove of information — a powerful resource for your business.
What's more, you can attach any kind of document — images, MS Word or Excel files, videos, PDFs — to ArtBase records. Attach a signed contract to a client's record or an appraisal to an artwork record. Attach reviews, artist statements, and bios to artwork records to create and share press kits — it's easy with ArtBase.

Accounting
Invoices, payables, and artist/consignor statements can be complicated. ArtBase makes them easy. Invoicing in foreign currencies? Need reports in multiple currencies? Line item and other discounts? Multi-party splits? No problem. ArtBase makes even the most complex accounting simple. QuickBooks linking is available.

Reports for Inventory and Accounting
ArtBase now has more reports to choose from, more flexibility in searching, and more — new and improved! — options than ever. ArtBase allows you to generate Inventory Reports based on any search criteria: “What's the value of my owned inventory?” “How many prints by each artist do I have in storage?” or “How many items did we send to Miami last year?” If you can think of it, ArtBase can report on it. ArtBase also generates Accounting Reports to monitor sales and payables, profit and sales tax. ArtBase even has pie charts and bar charts to show you your best-selling artists or your most active clients.
