About Us

eHive
eHive is developed by Vernon Systems Ltd. We have been dedicated to creating software for the museum and gallery market since 1985.

Vernon Systems has a range of products suitable for all types of collections, from large institutions to private collectors. Our collection management systems are used around the world by institutions with diverse collections and needs.

Our products

eHive

eHive is an innovative web-based system used by hundreds of small museums and private collectors to catalogue objects, manage acquisition information and share their collections online. Many larger institutions have also chosen to use eHive as an online publishing platform.

As an eHive account holder you can choose to keep your object records private, or publish them to our website eHive.com. If you decide to publish your records they’ll be displayed along side artefacts from national and regional museums, local curiosities and never before seen objects from private collections.

Take a tour to find out more about using the system or go to eHive.com to explore the collections of museums and collectors from around the world.

Vernon CMS

Vernon CMS is a sophisticated collection management system that handles all common collection processes and types of objects. It is a modular system, which means you can tailor it to suit your collection, your specific needs and your budget.

The Cataloguing module is the core, covering all of the key features needed to manage a collection. Add-ons and modules provide additional functionality in the form of activities management, online publishing and RFID location tracking.

The Browser module provides, web, intranet and kiosk access to your collection database. You have complete control of the collection data you publish, down to field level. The module is powerful and fully integrated into Vernon CMS and has proven itself a reliable publication tool for many institutions, large and small.

Vernon CMS can also be used in conjunction with eHive to provide comprehensive collection management with a simple, sustainable option for online publishing. See our website vernonsystems.com for more information or contact us at sales@vernonsystems.com to discuss which of our systems would best suit your needs.

Testimonials

New England Regional Art Museum

I’ve worked with the Team at eHive to deliver three online collection projects – across archives, library and art museum collections, both in New Zealand and Australia. The technical support is exemplary and the eHive Team have offered guidance and advice that makes solving any problems easy and maximising project potential possible. I’ve used eHive as both a host website for online collections, and for a fully integrated museum website search experience that has helped diversify our audiences and allow people to respond to collections in a tangible way.

Tanya Robinson - New Zealand & Australia

Mataura Museum

Thanks to eHive we are now a museum without walls. After putting our collection online, web visitors exceed physical visitors by a factor of ten, all without having to set up and maintain our own website. This wider reach has brought a raft of new connections to our small community museum.

David Luoni - New Zealand

Tweed Regional Museum

eHive has allowed the Tweed Regional Museum to easily publish our collection online, making it more accessible than ever before, revolutionising how we work and how far our collection can go. The back end of the system is incredibly easy to use, making it simple for staff with non technical backgrounds to publish the collection online. The team at Vernon have an excellent customer service ethos and help is never far away. We can’t recommend eHive to other small or medium museums enough.

Ashley Parker

Personally I consider eHive to be an absolute triumph. It is easy to use, logical, comprehensive, economic, safe (as in backed up), it has an open data/migration path to get data out and the support is superb. I will absolutely encourage other institutions I come across to change over to it. I did a pretty thorough analysis of the competition out there before selecting eHive and it seemed the best approach of all the choices.
