Visibility

Maintain a clear view of shipment status, documentation, and historical spend, keeping track of departmental activity and multi-location budgets without manual upkeep.

Focus

Relieve your team of repetitive administration, from entering shipping information to chasing follow-ups, giving them more time to focus on clients, exhibitions, and growing your gallery.

Trusted network

Built around trusted relationships

Strong partnerships are at the heart of the art market, and Palette is designed to support them.

Unlike freight marketplaces or intermediaries, Palette is strictly software. It never sits between buyers and suppliers, influence commercial decisions, or take commission on shipments.

It simply gives galleries a better way to work with the shipping partners they already trust while making it easy to discover new specialist providers when needed.

Commercial independence

Palette never takes commission, never marks up shipping rates, and never intermediates the agreements you hold directly with your clients, which means that your pricing, commercial terms, and client relationships always remain yours.

Confidential by design

Palette is not a price comparison marketplace designed to drive prices down. Your estimates remain private, your competitors never see your pricing, and every commercial conversation stays strictly between you and your client.

Integrated ecosystem

Extend your service offering with specialist services available directly through the platform. Offer clients access to fine art transit insurance, live environmental and GPS tracking, and sustainable crating, all without leaving the platform and as part of one connected shipping experience.

Enterprise-grade security

Your business data is protected through encrypted data storage and role based access controls, meeting the security and compliance standards expected of enterprise software. Your commercial documentation, pricing, and communication stay confidential.
