Our take

Like many industries, the art world is dealing with a forced migration online, including virtual auctions and marketplaces. Convelio has emerged as a key player in such digitisation: the company is on a mission to build the logistics backbone of the Art world.

Founded in 2017, Convelio is a digital tool and freight forwarder that delivers fine art to over 70 destinations. Pieces shipped by Convelio range from paintings and sculptures to high-end furniture, with values typically ranging from a few thousand euros to millions of euros.

Its own proprietary algorithm considers various parameters such as fragility, dimensions and value to assemble the most appropriate end-to-end logistics chain for each artwork. Its quotes are also generated instantly, which is a stand-out feature in this sector. These capabilities have seen the company grow to serve thousands of customers from art galleries, auction houses, and interior designers, to online platforms.
