An object's value is its history — if you can document it.
In OWNAMIC every object carries its own biography: purchase, service, appraisal, inheritance, hand-over. Every event is an entry and every entry can be signed — on site too, by QR, at the moment the object physically changes hands.
The invoice in a folder, the appraisal in a portfolio, the work report in a mailbox, the rest in the previous owner's memory. Every piece exists — just not together.
First purchase documented, current condition checked — and thirty years in between with no evidence. That gap is exactly what decides the hammer price, the estimate and the catalogue text.
An object goes out for restoration, for appraisal, for consignment. Who had it when, and with whose confirmation, is rarely written down anywhere — until it matters.
One missing detail sets off a chain: call, look it up, forward, wait. By the time the answer arrives, the catalogue deadline has moved closer.
Purchase, restoration, appraisal, inheritance, hand-over — every event is its own entry, with a date, the people involved and the attached documents.
check Signed entries are never overwrittenEvents can be signed (SES): with a person, a timestamp and a reference to that exact entry. A note becomes a confirmed transaction.
Who had the object when, and with whose confirmation. Prior ownership stays part of the chain, even after several changes of hands.
check Hand-over and return recorded separatelyFour levels — documented, researched, estimated, assumed. At a glance a house sees which entry has substance and which still needs checking.
Orientation values are kept as a bracket and explicitly labelled as such. No point value claiming a precision that does not exist.
The owner grants insight into the history without giving up control. You examine everything — only they can change, delete or export it.
check Revocable at any timeThe object is on the bench and both parties are standing there. Instead of a hand-over slip to be filed later, the entry is created at the moment of hand-over — by QR on the object, signed by both.
Your work report does not disappear into a customer folder. It stays on the object, with your name, your date and your signature — for the next owner too, and at a later sale.
A consignment with a maintained OWNAMIC history arrives with evidence rather than anecdotes. You check what is there instead of reconstructing what is missing.
An invoice, appraisal, work report or contract is attached to the entry and can be inspected.
Taken from a named, traceable source; the source is stated on the entry.
Derived from comparable objects, without an individual receipt — marked as a derivation.
The owner's own statement, deliberately kept as such and not upgraded.
A share grants insight, never control. There is no setting that turns it into more.
A signed entry cannot be altered afterwards — not even by the owner. Corrections are made as a new entry.
The owner ends a share without giving reasons. Events that have already been signed stay part of the history.
Processed under the GDPR in German data centres. Object data never trains AI models.
OWNAMIC documents entries and events but does not check their substance: authenticity, attribution and valuation remain the business of the experts and of the consigning house. Displayed values are explicitly orientation values, not valuations in the legal sense. The simple electronic signature (SES) documents who confirmed which event and when, and is not the equivalent of a qualified electronic signature. Cultural-property and due-diligence obligations at consignment are unaffected.
You buy Premium licences at the partner price and pass them on to customers or consignors — when a restoration is completed, for instance.
You recommend OWNAMIC and your customer signs up themselves. You receive a referral commission, your customer a price advantage.
Bring a piece whose history you know. We build the chain together, sign an event by QR, and say explicitly where the line to valuation runs. Not a sales pitch.
