Antiqua Books acquires, restores, and sells rare books and manuscripts internationally. Each item’s provenance, condition, and restoration history is essential for its value. Previously, tracking these details was scattered across spreadsheets, email threads, and paper files, leading to errors, lost information, and risk of misplacement.

The restoration process was also difficult to monitor: different staff handled pages, bindings, and conservation materials, but no single system captured all steps or associated costs. Shipping items to galleries, collectors, and exhibitions globally added another layer of complexity. Financially, purchase prices, restoration expenses, and sales revenue were managed separately, making accurate profitability calculations almost impossible.
