Collection Essentials+
No configuration. No implementation. Just get started. Collection Essentials+ is a fixed, well-designed standard for collection management, ready to use within the Collection Manager platform.
You start with a fixed data structure that is already set up correctly, so there is no need for a separate setup process. The standard is collectively developed and maintained, and offers a clear growth path toward more functionality whenever you are ready for it.
Collection management has often become unnecessarily complex
Many collection management systems have become more and more extensive over the years. With hundreds of fields, elaborate configurations, and lengthy implementations.
That makes them powerful, but often also difficult to understand, manage, and explain. And that is exactly where practice tends to get stuck.
A fixed standard within Collection Manager
Collection Essentials+ is not a standalone demo and not a stripped-down version. It is a fixed, well-designed standard for collection management on the Collection Manager platform.
- Fixed data structure
- Ready to use immediately
- NDE-ready
- Shared support and bug fixes
- Ongoing development for all users
No implementation, but immediate results
Collection Essentials+ is not an implementation project. No setup is needed in advance, there is no list of choices to make first, and there is no dependency on consultancy.
You get a model that is already set up correctly. That means you can start registering, searching, and working right away.
Prepared for connection to the Dutch Digital Heritage Network
Collection Essentials+ is designed from the ground up to connect to the Dutch Digital Heritage Network. Not as an extra module, but as part of the standard.
This gives you a clear starting point for exchange and further development, without having to go through a complex process first.
Need more? Then grow within the same platform
Because Collection Essentials+ runs on the Collection Manager platform, anyone who later needs more control, flexibility, or additional functionality can grow into a more extensive setup without changing platforms.
Additionally available
Visual search (optional)
AI-based visual search can be added as an extension. This allows you to find similar objects in your collection based on an image, without having to type a single search term. For this, we collaborate with Datamachine, the specialists behind the Visual Search API that makes this possible.
Start small, without thinking small
A fixed standard for collection management, ready to use immediately.
