Demo
See it running.
There are two halves to the platform, and they need different kinds of demo. The bidder side you can open right now. The back office is worth twenty minutes with someone who can answer questions.
The Auction Experts demo is a working auction environment with sample lots, where you can place bids as a bidder and run the back office as an auction house. It covers timed and live auctions, lot creation, bidder approval and invoicing. The bidder side is self-service and open to anyone — no appointment and no sales call. Open the site, register, and bid.
The bidder experience
A working auction site on our demo environment. Register, place bids, watch a lot close, see the extend feature trigger. It behaves exactly as a live auction does, because it is the same code.
The Manager
The back office is where the actual work happens — consignment, lot enrichment, catalogue building, invoicing, bulk mail. It is not something to wander around unguided, so we walk you through it against your own auction process.
Worth asking about
Questions the demo will not answer on its own.
- How does this fit my current website?Three options: we host the front end, we add auctions to your existing site, or you build your own front end on our API.
- What happens to my existing lot data?Import via the integration API or a one-off migration. We have done this from most of the common platforms.
- Can it handle my closing minute?See the scaling case study — this is the question we have answered most often in twenty-seven years.
- What does onboarding actually involve?An intake covering fees, VAT, categories, bid steps, invoicing and translations. We will send you the questionnaire before we start.
