Pierce Advisory was scaling… fast. Managing one collector was manageable with a patchwork of tools; managing fifteen meant chaos: inconsistent reporting formats, proposals assembled from old PDFs, and client data spread across folders, inboxes and different databases. The team spent too much time “making things look right” and not enough time advising… exactly the wrong tradeoff for a service business.

They chose Corpus because it offered one platform designed for multi-client reality. The deciding factors were separate client databases (strict separation and permissions), proposals and viewing rooms for polished, trackable presentations and robust client reporting that could produce consistent exports on demand. The addition of offline consultation was the quiet clincher: art fairs and site visits do not wait for Wi‑Fi.

Migration focused on standardization. Corpus’ data recovery consolidated artworks, documents, locations and contact networks across clients, then aligned them to a single reporting structure: “location”, “valuation” and “status” meant the same thing everywhere. Permissions were configured to mirror the team’s roles, ensuring sensitive client information stayed isolated while still enabling collaboration.

With Corpus in place, Pierce Advisory changed how they worked week-to-week. Proposals became a repeatable process: build, brand, share privately and track engagement, then export a PDF when needed. During fairs, the team could consult notes and inventory offline without losing changes or duplicating effort.

They now cite a 40% efficiency increase, but the real benefit is professionalism at scale. Clients receive cleaner reporting, faster responses and better continuity across years, while the advisory team spends less time assembling documents and more time making decisions. Corpus did not just organize their data; it made their service feel effortless.
