CatalogIt Features

CatalogIt features intuitive navigation, enabling users to quickly find tools and information. Its streamlined data entry forms capture detailed item information with ease. Rich object profiles reveal meaningful connections between items, uncovering relationships that might otherwise go unnoticed.

See How It Works

Users can access collections from smartphones, smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktops, allowing work from anywhere. Real-time synchronization ensures updates made on one device instantly reflect across all others, keeping the entire team aligned with the most current and accurate collection data.

See How It Works

CatalogIt emphasizes visual browsing by displaying collection items primarily through images rather than text-heavy lists. Users can easily add photos by snapping pictures directly with their phone or uploading images from their computer’s storage. This image-focused approach makes exploring and identifying objects more intuitive and engaging for users.

See How It Works

Multiple team members, including staff and volunteers, can work on the same collection simultaneously, whether they are in the museum, at home, or out in the field. Updates, notes, and edits happen in real time, allowing for seamless communication and coordination among collaborators. This feature supports teamwork and helps keep everyone aligned regardless of their location.

See How It Works

Collections managed in CatalogIt can be published online using the included CatalogIt HUB or integrated into a user’s own website through the API for greater customization. Users have control over which entries and data fields are shared publicly, allowing organizations to tailor the presentation of their collections to fit their audience and privacy needs. This flexibility helps institutions engage visitors and supporters effectively.

Fits our small collection needs perfectly

Pros

I find it super easy to pick up and use and I love that I can access it from anywhere. The interface is clean and simple and the tools are flexible enough to do what I need. Plus, it doesn't cost a fortune which is a big win.

Cons

The search function isn't exactly what I expected. I think I need to spend more time learning how it works especially since it's such an important part of the system.

glad we made the move to CatalogIt

Pros

The fact that it's cloud-based is a game changer and we can check or edit stuff from anywhere, no matter what OS we're on. The app is really easy to use and the database handles a lot. What's really cool is that the public facing version updates right away, so we don't have to mess with republishing every time we make a change.

Cons

The only downside I've noticed so far is that I can't print directly to my Dymo Label printer. But honestly with how amazing and easy to use the rest of the program is, this minor issue doesn't bother me much at all.

Why start from scratch when CatalogIt's ready?

Pros

What I like most is how easy it is to use and how many features are packed into it. I didn't expect it to have this much built in, honestly.

Cons

If you've tried creating your own catalog from scratch using a spreadsheet or database, you'll find that the tools to import your data into CatalogIt are limited. Thankfully, the support team is really helpful and willing to assist.
