What information does the system collect?

The workflow can collect Type of enquiry: visit, research, loan, or rights, Object, accession number, or collection area, Intended use and publication context, Dates, venue, and duration for loans, then organize that context for the person or system responsible for the next step.

Do we need to replace our current software?

Usually not. Wavefront first identifies which website, inbox, CRM, calendar, quoting, and reporting tools should stay, then connects or replaces only what the approved workflow requires.

Can we start with one workflow?

Yes. The first release is intentionally narrow: one useful handoff, clear owners, agreed escalation rules, and a measurable outcome. Additional stages are connected only after the first workflow is working.

What happens when the AI is unsure?

Uncertain, unusual, sensitive, or high-impact cases follow defined escalation rules and are routed to the right person with the available context.

See how a connected system can respond, qualify, route, follow up, and report across the complete customer journey.

Why museums and curators need a connected AI system

Curatorial teams field research requests, loan enquiries, rights questions, and school bookings alongside exhibition work. Each has its own paperwork, and each arrives without the details needed to answer it.

Illustrative workflow example

What a connected museums and curators workflow could look like

Problem: Curatorial teams field research requests, loan enquiries, rights questions, and school bookings alongside exhibition work. Each has its own paperwork, and each arrives without the details needed to answer it.

System: Handle visitor, education, and research enquiries, structure loan and rights requests, organize collection documentation and interpretation drafts, and keep programme scheduling on track.

Modeled result: Expected impact: a faster first response, a more complete handoff, and consistent follow-up. This example shows how the system could work and is not a reported client result.

Operating guardrail: Curatorial interpretation, attribution, provenance research, deaccessioning, and repatriation matters stay with qualified staff. Culturally sensitive material, restricted collections, and community-agreed protocols govern what may be described or shared, and no interpretation is published without curatorial approval.
