Case Study: MillerKnoll Streamlines Archives and Accelerates Research with CatalogIt

MillerKnoll streamlines a 1-million-object archive with CatalogIt

MillerKnoll, a global design company formed from the merger of Herman Miller and Knoll, faced the challenge of managing over one million objects in its archives. Their previous system of spreadsheets lacked organization and made collaboration difficult. They adopted CatalogIt's cloud-based collections management system (CMS) to streamline their workflows and support a major new archives facility.

By implementing CatalogIt, the MillerKnoll team streamlined its archival processes, enabling multiple users to collaborate simultaneously. The solution provided robust metadata management and easy sorting, which was essential for preparing their new 12,000-square-foot facility and managing exhibition labels. CatalogIt also transformed the tracking of loaned items, allowing staff to instantly locate objects and confirm their status. This has resulted in a more efficient, polished, and collaborative operation, opening doors to greater internal access and future public engagement.
