PastPerfect

PastPerfect falls in the center of the access spectrum because of the flexibility of its services, however, it leans toward back-end functions because of its specialty in item cataloging and management. PastPerfect is a collections management software created by PastPerfect Software Inc. specifically for museums. Over 10,000 institutions have purchased PastPerfect's services, making them the amongst the most widely used museum software. Their tools allow users to catalog, manage, and track extensive collections. PastPerfect, through their optional add-ons, allows users to provide comprehensive object management that truly spans storage to public access. Because many of the features that allow for this must be purchased separately, it gives institutions the flexibility to not pay for more than they need. PastPerfect prides themselves on keeping their prices low so that they can remain affordable to large and small institutions alike.
