Artlogic, Art Couriers and Global Delivery: A Simple Guide for Independent Artists

If you’re an independent artist or small gallery, you’ve probably heard the name Artlogic whispered at fairs, private views and in those “how are you managing your inventory?” conversations.

Artlogic promises a beautiful website, inventory management and CRM in one place – without needing to be a tech wizard.(Artlogic) But there’s still a missing piece for most artists and galleries:

“How do I actually get the artwork to collectors worldwide without turning into a full-time logistics manager?”

That’s where combining Artlogic with a smart art courier and art gallery delivery solution like Pigee comes in – giving collectors an all-in-one, low-stress, trusted experience from browsing to delivery.

In this article we’ll cover:

• What Artlogic does brilliantly for non-techy artists
• Where logistics and payments still create friction
• How plugging your Artlogic website into Pigee unlocks global delivery and checkout
• How Artlogic compares to alternatives like Artwork Archive and ArtCloud(G2)
• A simple “Gallery 8” style example you can copy

What is Artlogic – in normal artist language?

Artlogic is an all-in-one platform designed specifically for the art world. It combines:(Artlogic)

• A clean, gallery-grade website
• Artwork inventory and database
• CRM for collectors and contacts
• Email marketing & Private View links
• Basic online store / ecommerce tools

It’s used by thousands of galleries, artists and collectors globally, including well-known names and blue-chip spaces.(Artlogic)

In plain English:

Artlogic lets a non-techy independent artist or gallery look like a professional, organised art business online – without hiring a web developer.

For many people, it’s a big step up from juggling:

• A WordPress or Squarespace site
• A separate spreadsheet of artworks
• A Mailchimp list
• A chaotic inbox full of enquiries

Instead, everything lives in one system.

How Artlogic helps non-techy artists be seen

If tech is not your thing, Artlogic can feel like having a small digital team in your pocket.

1. Website templates that look like a gallery, not a generic shop

Artlogic offers art-specific website templates with:

• Large, clean image layouts
• Exhibition, viewing room and artist page structures
• Built-in enquiry and “add to wishlist” options

You don’t have to fight with generic ecommerce layouts. Instead, your site already feels like an online exhibition or gallery space, which is what collectors expect.

2. Inventory that keeps your head clear

Each artwork can store:

• Images
• Medium, size, year
• Provenance, edition numbers
• Availability, prices and sales history

That means you can finally stop using messy spreadsheets and ancient PDFs. When a collector asks, “Is that piece still available?” you can actually trust the answer.

3. Easy ways to share work with serious buyers

Artlogic’s Private View links and viewing rooms let you send curated selections rather than random WeTransfer links.(GetApp)

You look organised. Professional. Collected.

For a non-techy independent artist, this is huge: you can nurture relationships without learning code, APIs or complex marketing tools.

The missing piece: art courier, customs and art gallery delivery

Where things still get stressful is the post-sale side:

• Which art courier is reliable for this size and value of work?
• How do you quote shipping and insurance without undercharging?
• How do you handle customs, duties and paperwork for an international collector?
• How do you keep the collector updated without answering WhatsApps at midnight?

Most Artlogic users still end up juggling:

• DHL / FedEx quotes
• Local fine-art courier emails
• Manual invoices
• Endless “just checking where my painting is now?” messages

That’s where integrating a platform like Pigee – AI Shipping Assistant into your Artlogic-driven workflow changes the game.

Artlogic + Pigee = global delivery and payments on autopilot

“Gallery 8”: A simple example of an Artlogic + Pigee workflow

Imagine a mid-sized London space we’ll call Gallery 8.

They use Artlogic to:

• Manage 12 represented artists
• Run a slick website with exhibitions and viewing rooms
• Email curated selections to key collectors
• Log sales and offers

The team is not particularly techy. They’re art people.

Before Pigee

A US collector sees a piece on the Gallery 8 Artlogic site, emails for availability, and the back-and-forth starts:

1. Gallery manually checks if the work is framed or unframed.
2. They email different art courier services for quotes.
3. They send a PDF invoice and a separate email with shipping costs.
4. They cross fingers that customs won’t cause chaos.
5. Collector asks for updates multiple times. Stress level: high.

After connecting Pigee into the flow

Now Gallery 8:

1. Receives an enquiry via their Artlogic website.
2. Confirms price and condition in Artlogic.
3. Sends a single secure payment link powered by Pigee, which includes:
   • Artwork price
   • Dynamic shipping quote to the collector’s country
   • Customs & duties estimate where relevant
   • Insurance already factored in
4. The collector pays by card in their own currency.
5. Pigee handles door-to-door art gallery delivery using trusted carriers and couriers.
6. Both gallery and collector can see tracking and updates.

Gallery 8 stays focused on curation and relationships, not forms and freight.

How Artlogic compares to alternatives – and where Pigee fits in

Artlogic isn’t the only option for artists and galleries. Popular alternatives include:(G2)

• Artwork Archive – great for artists who want inventory management and basic presentation, but less gallery-grade web design out of the box.
• ArtCloud – strong gallery software with inventory and website tools, similar in spirit to Artlogic.
• simplify.art, Art Galleria, Artshell – niche platforms focusing on collection management and workflows.
• Shopify or WooCommerce – powerful ecommerce platforms, but generic; you have to do more work to make them feel like an art gallery instead of a gadget shop.

Where Artlogic stands out

• Strong reputation in the gallery and professional art market
• Deep integration between inventory, website and CRM
• Designed for exhibitions, viewing rooms and art-world workflows rather than generic products(Artlogic)

For non-techy artists and small galleries who want a “grown-up” feel, that counts for a lot.

Where all of them, including Artlogic, need help

Nearly all these platforms stop at the checkout:

• They are not specialist art courier tools.
• They don’t optimise international art gallery delivery routes or insurance.
• They don’t specialise in customs, duties, HS codes and risk for fragile, high-value works.

That’s exactly the layer Pigee adds on top of whichever website platform you choose:

Think of Artlogic (or any alternative) as your digital gallery, and Pigee as your global art courier and payments layer.

Why this matters to independent artists

If you’re an independent artist using Artlogic, you probably want three things:

1. Visibility – to look as professional as a gallery
2. Trust – so collectors feel safe spending serious money online
3. Ease – so you spend more time making work, less time doing admin

Artlogic already gets you most of the way on visibility and trust. Reviews note that, once setup is understood, it can do almost everything a gallery needs to stay organised and productive.(Capterra)

By adding Pigee into the picture, you:

• Offer real-time shipping quotes for collectors abroad
• Stop losing sales because delivery feels unclear or expensive
• Avoid undercharging on shipping or forgetting to insure a piece correctly
• Provide an end-to-end, low-stress, trusted collector experience from the first click to the artwork on their wall

That’s the difference between a nice-looking website and a global art business.

How to connect your Artlogic site to a better delivery flow

Even if there’s no official one-click “Artlogic app” yet, your flow can still be smooth and repeatable.

A simple setup:

1. Keep Artlogic as your front-end
   • Website
   • Inventory & CRM
   • Enquiries and Private View links
2. Use Pigee as your shipping & payment layer
   • When a collector is ready to buy, generate a Pigee payment link that:
     • Includes artwork details
     • Calculates global delivery and insurance
     • Predicts or explains customs and tax where necessary
3. Embed Pigee into your sales process
   • Mention “Tracked global delivery included” in your Artlogic artwork descriptions.
   • Add a section on your site explaining how your art courier and art gallery delivery works via Pigee.
   • Use it for both independent artist sales and gallery-managed deals.

Final thoughts: Let Artlogic show the art, let Pigee move it

For many independent artists and galleries, Artlogic has become the quiet engine behind their online presence – a gallery-grade system without needing a developer.

But to give collectors a truly trusted, low-stress experience, you need more than a beautiful website:

• Clear, honest shipping quotes
• Reliable art courier and art gallery delivery partners
• Simple, secure global payment links
• Smart handling of customs, taxes and insurance

By combining Artlogic with Pigee – AI Shipping Assistant, you keep the tools you love while plugging the gaps that cause the most stress.

Your collectors get a smooth, all-in-one experience.
You get to stay an artist, not a logistics company.
