After a successful auction, auction houses often face the challenge of organizing the delivery of numerous sold items simultaneously. While some shipments can be handled internally, the volume quickly exceeds the capacity of auction houses, making the management of multiple deliveries a time-consuming logistical challenge.
Moviiu offers an efficient solution for auction houses: a centralized platform that allows them to recommend a reliable transport provider to their clients, enabling buyers to arrange shipping with minimal effort.
Fast and Reliable Cost Calculations
Moviiu provides auction houses with an easy-to-use platform where buyers can quickly and easily receive a detailed quote for transporting their purchased artworks. Using the instant quote tool, buyers simply need to enter the delivery address and the dimensions of the artwork to receive a transparent transport offer. This offer includes all relevant costs, such as:
• Secure & custom-made Moviiu transport packaging
• Door-to-door delivery of the artwork
• Export handling
• Shipment tracking
• Customer service
The quoted price covers all transport costs, including secure packaging. Buyers also have the option to add Ad Valorem insurance for their artwork’s transport, which costs 1% of the artwork’s value, with a minimum fee of €20. Import charges, however, are not included, as they depend on the customs regulations of the destination country and are billed directly by our transport partners before delivery.
With this instant calculation, buyers receive a clear and comprehensive overview of the transport costs, which can be booked directly using an integrated online payment function.
An Efficient Solution for Auction Houses and Buyers
The integration of Moviiu not only makes it easier for buyers to find a reliable and cost-effective art transport provider but also simplifies logistics for the auction house. Moviiu manages the entire shipping process, ensuring a seamless workflow:
• After a purchase, the Moviiu team collects the artworks directly from the auction house
• The artworks are then securely packaged at the Moviiu warehouse and prepared for shipping
• Auction houses can conveniently monitor the entire shipping process via a personalized dashboard
• The recipient receives regular updates about the shipment status and the various stages of delivery
Efficient Logistics Solutions for the Demands of Modern Auction Houses
Moviiu significantly simplifies the often-complex logistics that follow an auction. The platform enables buyers to access clear and transparent transport solutions while providing auction houses with centralized organization and optimized workflows. Through automated processes, personalized dashboards, and comprehensive customer service, Moviiu creates a win-win situation for everyone involved – ensuring that art transport is handled as professionally as the auction itself.
