The knowledge stays with the dealer, not with the object
Provenance, condition and particulars sit in folders, e-mails and heads — and therefore in the wrong place.
A small QR code shows your customers the whole story – with your videos, photos and documents. After the purchase, it passes to the new owner along with the piece.
Photograph the specimen
Vanadinite · Mibladen, MoroccoVideo · 6 photos · 2 documentsHow the locality, the provenance and your confirmation become a record that goes with the specimen to your customer — scanned at the counter, kept by whoever owns it next.
The film is in German, with sound, and shows a mineral dealer; the steps are the same in every trade.
At a show or in the shop you cannot give every interested visitor ten minutes. The object code next to the specimen does the talking: one scan with a phone opens its history – with pictures, video and documents. Customers understand in seconds what the specimen's value rests on.
What would otherwise take a long sales conversation, your customer sees with one scan – even while you are advising someone else.
The same object code works wherever your pieces meet customers – printed as a card or as a link in a listing. Behind it is always the same history.
As a card in the display case or on the shelf: customers read the story while you are at the till or advising.
On the stand beside every specimen: visitors scan even while you are in a conversation – and still have the link on their phone afterwards.
In your web shop or in classified ads: the link in the listing shows buyers the same pictures, videos and documents – before they get in touch.
A ring is rarely made in one piece. The centre stone comes from somewhere else than the stones of the halo, and the shank is resized or re-plated over the years. In OWNAMIC you add these parts as objects the ring contains – and the code on the case shows them all.
When you share, one switch is enough: "Also share the history of the contained objects". If a stone is reset later, that is recorded with the stone – and still one scan away.
Provenance, condition and particulars sit in folders, e-mails and heads — and therefore in the wrong place.
After years nobody remembers what was done, replaced or checked. Proof that ought to travel with the piece is then nowhere to be found.
Service, assessment, resale, inheritance: everywhere the same questions are asked again.
Everything stays as it is: your sales conversation, your invoice, your shop. OWNAMIC changes nothing about this step.
Provenance, condition, documents, particulars. A few photos, a few lines. You sign the entry with your name — on a phone or a tablet, in a few minutes.
A permanent code as a QR ties the piece to its biography — as a card, a tag, a plaque or an insert. The customer receives the object and the biography; from that moment it is theirs. They can view it, add to it and pass it on without asking you.
Service, repair, assessment, sale, inheritance: everything later is added at the bottom. The code stays the same, through every change of owner. Your entry stays the first one and stays visible — with your name, even with the third owner.
Not at a service, not at a sale, not in an inheritance. It is the one thing about the object that stays the same across every owner.
It can belong to one person only. Whoever resells the piece necessarily hands it over as well: the seller can show their ownership, and with the purchase the complete documentation passes to the new owner. Anyone who cannot hand it over is not selling the piece it belongs to.
Anyone without access learns neither owner nor content nor value — not even whether the object is kept here at all. All that becomes visible is the way to create an account and accept a handover.
It scans the code, the owner releases the case, the workshop enters its event and signs it. No paper, no phone call to check back.
favorite Which form fits is your decision, per type of object. The object does not have to be altered. No form is mandatory.
info OWNAMIC checks records, not objects. An existing biography says nothing about whether an item is genuine. What it shows is the traceable path of the documentation from one pair of hands to the next.
At a resale, a service or an inheritance the next owner sees who originally sold the piece. Years later, too.
What you know about the object no longer disappears with the sales conversation. It is where it will be needed later.
Nothing is connected, nothing is changed over. The entry is made in a few minutes on a phone or tablet.
That is not a restriction but the reason your customer gives the entry any weight at all. You write something into what is theirs — and that is precisely why it stays there.
You buy premium licences at the partner discount and pass them on with the object — as part of what you sell. The customer gets the object biography with the piece without booking anything themselves.
You mention OWNAMIC during the sale and your customer signs up themselves. The contract runs directly between them and us; you administer no licences.
Three points you can pass on to your customer exactly as they stand here.
It performs no valuation in the legal sense, no expert appraisal and no authenticity check. Indicative figures are ranges.
What you record about an object appears as your statement, with your name and the date. OWNAMIC does not verify those statements.
We use the simple electronic signature under eIDAS. It may be used as evidence in court, but the court decides for itself how much weight to give it. It is not equivalent to a handwritten signature.
We create a piece from your shop and write the first entry together. After that you see what your customer sees. No sales pitch.
