The antiques market is undeniably shifting. Online marketplaces and the expectations of tech-savvy buyers are redefining how people discover and purchase antiques. Modernizing operations is no longer a luxury for dealers — it’s a necessity.
Enter Ronati, a global technology company founded by Stacey Tiveron, a 20-year technology veteran from the interior design industry. Ronati’s team members reside in 8 countries and are all focused on the singular purpose of building simple technology solutions to help dealers worldwide compete with retailers on the global stage.
Ronati’s view is that embracing technology should not sacrifice the discernment and traditions that make the antiques trade special. Technology must preserve and enhance those traditions, especially in this era that values both efficiency and accessibility.
In keeping with this view, Ronati’s latest platform, “Studio,” is the result of six years of working with and serving dealers in the US and UK. It is the first-ever Business Management Platform crafted specifically for sellers of vintage, antique, and unique items.
Studio’s goal is to give dealers back precious time to focus on what truly matters: sourcing and curating collections, connecting with new clients, exhibiting at fairs, and collaborating with industry groups, innovative thinkers, and interior designers. Time and creativity are vital for dealers to elevate their business in a competitive and evolving marketplace.
Studio provides dealers their entire business in one simple-to-use, elegant platform accessible on desktop and mobile. It is the response to the real challenges dealers face.
At its core, Ronati believes that technology should amplify, not alter, the heart of the antique trade. Ronati’s Studio isn’t just a platform; it’s a bridge to the future, meticulously designed with respect for tradition and an eye on innovation.
