Owned and run by British auctioneers since 1793, London-based Bonhams (www.bonhams.com) is the fastest-growing fine art auction house in the world.

Dealing in items including automobiles, antiques and collectables, Bonhams offers sales worldwide through its salesrooms in London and other UK locations, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Sydney, and regular venues in Switzerland, Monaco, Germany, Australia and the U.S. Bonhams is renowned for its specialists–in 14 countries–who appraise and value clients’ property and ensure that it achieves its full sale potential.

After an acquisition by Brooks, an automobile and motorcycle auction specialist, the merger with the UK division of Phillips, a competitor, and the purchase of the U.S.-based auction house Butterfields, Bonhams was dealing with four different business management systems. To operate and serve clients effectively, Bonhams needed to consolidate to one system.
