LOUGHER CONTEMPORARY LTD


Lougher Contemporary

Lougher Contemporary is a UK-based online art dealership specialising in contemporary prints, editions and multiples. The business works with private collectors and trade buyers, managing a mix of owned stock, consignments and brokered sales.

Lougher currently relies on a combination of spreadsheets, ArtLogic, Shopify, Xero and manual processes to manage its stock, sales, client relationships and reporting. Cloudsaber is implementing Odoo as a central platform to bring these workflows together and provide a more scalable foundation for future growth.

Challenges Faced

Lougher faces several operational challenges:

  • Heavy reliance on spreadsheets and manual administration.

  • Disconnected systems across stock, sales, CRM, ecommerce and finance.

  • Duplication of data between ArtLogic, Shopify, Xero and internal spreadsheets.

  • Limited visibility across sales, consignments, stock movements and reporting.

  • Time-consuming processes for managing artwork information, private client presentations, invoicing and post-sales activity.

  • A need for a platform that can support growth without adding unnecessary operational complexity.

Odoo Implementation

Lougher is transitioning to Odoo to centralise key business workflows and reduce reliance on disconnected tools.

The project aims to:

  • Create a single operational platform for CRM, sales, stock, consignments and reporting.

  • Replace manual spreadsheet-led processes with structured workflows in Odoo.

  • Improve visibility across artwork availability, sales activity, client relationships and post-sales operations.

  • Support the specific needs of the art dealership sector through a tailored Odoo module.

  • Retain key existing systems, including Shopify and Xero, during the first phase while creating a path for future consolidation.

  • Provide a scalable system that supports the business as it grows.


Key Enhancements

The Odoo implementation is designed to:

  • Reduce manual duplication and improve data accuracy.

  • Bring stock, sales, customer and consignment information into one place.

  • Improve day-to-day visibility for the team across key workflows.

  • Support more efficient client engagement and private sales activity.

  • Improve reporting and management information.

  • Create a stronger operational foundation for future automation, integrations and finance improvements.
