Platform

Everything the platform does.

Twenty-seven years of auction software, set out in full. Most of what follows exists because an auction house asked for it — the margin scheme because a dealer needed it, CITES flagging because an art customer sells ivory, paddle registration because a room sale demands it. Two hundred and forty features across the full auction lifecycle, from intake to consignor settlement.

Phase 1 of 7

Intake

Nothing about an auction can be fixed later if the intake was sloppy. What a seller brings in, on what terms, at what commission, photographed and described how — everything downstream reads from this record. The platform captures it once, at the door, and never asks anyone to retype it.

Consignment intake10

  • Intake from first contact with the consignorRecord what a seller brings in, from the first conversation through to the lots going live.
  • Intake recorded per store and per staff memberKnow which branch took the goods in and who valued them.
  • Commission percentage agreed at intakeThe rate you agreed with the seller is captured at the door and flows through to their settlement automatically.
  • Lock an intake once agreedOnce the consignor has signed, the terms cannot be quietly changed.
  • Minimum value per intake productRecord the price below which the seller does not want to sell, before it becomes a reserve.
  • Split one intake product into several lotsA box of forty watches arrives as one item and becomes forty lots.
  • Value added after the initial intakeTake goods in now, value them once the specialist has seen them.
  • Files attached per intake productKeep the provenance letter, the certificate and the photos with the item from the moment it arrives.
  • Consignor contracts printedPrint the signed agreement with the agreed terms already filled in.
  • QR labels printed and sortedPrint a label for every lot so the warehouse can find, check and hand over goods by scanning.

Lot types and custom fields8

  • Configurable lot types, each with its own metadataA wine lot asks for vintage and bottle size. A car lot asks for mileage and registration. You define both — no developer needed.
  • Custom fields in seven data typesFields can be text, numbers, dates, yes/no, dropdowns or file uploads, so the data you capture actually matches what you sell.
  • Per field: visible, exportable, required, locked after approvalMake mileage mandatory, hide the internal reference from bidders, and stop anyone editing the VIN once the lot is approved.
  • Custom fields become search facetsBecause you defined 'vintage', bidders can filter the sale by vintage. Filters follow your fields automatically.
  • Custom fields printed on the invoiceThe chassis number you captured at intake appears on the buyer's invoice without anyone retyping it.
  • Field grouping and display orderGroup condition fields together, technical specs below, in the order that makes sense for the goods.
  • Translated dropdown options per fieldA condition dropdown reads 'Mint / Good / Fair' in English and the right words in Dutch and German.
  • Default lot fields per auctionNew lots in this sale start with the fields and values you always use, so staff type less and get it right more.

Images4

  • Several images per lot, first one leadsTen photos of a watch, with the one you choose showing in the catalogue listing.
  • Reusable image sets shared across an auctionKeep all the photos for a sale in one place, and reuse the same shots across related lots.
  • CDN delivery, resized on requestPhotos load fast anywhere in Europe, and the thumbnail is generated for you rather than uploaded separately.
  • Image storage per tenantThousands of photos per sale, stored and served without you managing any of it.

Phase 2 of 7

Catalogue

A catalogue is a legal document that also has to sell. Thousands of lots must carry the right numbers, the right order, the right images and the right descriptions in every language — and survive late arrivals, withdrawals and a printer's deadline without renumbering the whole sale.

Lots25

  • Add, edit and find lotsEnter the items, correct them, and find any of them again in a catalogue of thousands.
  • Copy lots between auctionsMove unsold lots into next month's sale without typing them in again.
  • Bulk processing across many lots at onceChange the category, the closing time or the fee on four hundred lots in one action.
  • Nine-state lot approval workflowA lot travels from entered, to checked, to approved, to sold — and your staff always know which ones still need attention.
  • Combination lots — bundle items, sell as oneSell forty chairs as a single lot when splitting them makes no sense.
  • Competing lots — alternatives for one buyerOffer the same machine at two locations and let the buyer win only one of them, never both.
  • Lot ordering and catalogue numberingDecide the order lots are sold in, and number them the way your catalogue expects.
  • Lot numbers with suffixes, such as 5bSqueeze a late arrival in as lot 5b without renumbering everything after it.
  • Quantity and quantity multiplierSell per item but bill per pallet — bid €4 a bottle, invoice for the case of twelve.
  • CITES flagging for protected speciesMark ivory, tortoiseshell or exotic wood so the paperwork is right and the lot cannot ship where it shouldn't.
  • Exclude a lot from bidding or from invoicingShow a lot for information only, or keep it off the invoice when it is settled separately.
  • Highlight a lot as featuredPut your best pieces on the front page of the sale rather than burying them at lot 400.
  • Registration required for a single lotAsk for ID or a deposit on the one €80,000 lot without gating the whole sale.
  • Internal lot notes with attachmentsStaff leave notes on a lot — what the consignor said, why the estimate changed — that bidders never see.
  • Links between lots and other entitiesPoint a bidder from this lot to the matching pair, the earlier volume, or the rest of the set.
  • Lot tagsTag lots as 'provenance documented' or 'from the Smith estate' and let bidders filter on it.
  • Roles granted on a single lotGive one specialist edit rights on a particular lot without opening the whole catalogue to them.
  • Lot location separate from the auction locationThe sale is run from Amsterdam but this machine is collected in Rotterdam, and the lot page says so.
  • Exceptions at lot level, overriding auction rulesCharge a different commission or a different VAT rate on one lot when the consignor's deal differs.
  • Lot translations per languageEvery lot description reads properly in each language you sell in.
  • Full-text indexed lot descriptionsA bidder searching for 'Meissen' finds it in the description, not only in the title.
  • Lot view counter and access logSee which lots people are actually looking at, and tell the consignor before the sale closes.
  • Individual closing time per lotLots close a minute apart rather than all at once, so the last hour is orderly instead of chaotic.
  • Reduce prices — bulk percentage cut on unsold lotsDrop every lot that got no bids by 30% with one slider, and leave the ones with bids alone.
  • Buy back lots for processingHandle the lots the consignor takes back, so they come off the sale cleanly and settle correctly.

Catalogue7

  • Catalogue managementBuild the catalogue for a sale — which lots, in what order, presented how.
  • Page layouts built from templatesLay out the printed catalogue from templates instead of designing every page from scratch.
  • Page types, fixed numbers and estimated timingReserve page one for the cover, and estimate what time each page will be reached in the live sale.
  • Lots placed on pages in sequenceControl which lots share a page and how they sit on it.
  • Categories mapped to pagesKeep the jewellery together and the furniture together in the printed book.
  • XML export into print design toolsHand the finished catalogue to InDesign or your printer as structured data, not a PDF to retype.
  • Print and sortPrint worksheets, condition lists and lot slips in the order the warehouse or the sale needs them.

Import and export9

  • Excel lot import with column mappingThe consignor sends a spreadsheet, you tell the system which column is what, and eight hundred lots appear.
  • Staged import with per-column defaultsSet the category and VAT rate once for the whole import rather than filling them into every row of the sheet.
  • Import progress — imported, inserted, updated, errorsSee exactly how the import went and which rows failed, instead of guessing why the count is wrong.
  • Category importLoad a whole category structure at once when you take on a new kind of goods.
  • Excel exportsPull any list — lots, results, bidders — into a spreadsheet for a consignor or your accountant.
  • Catalogue downloadGive bidders the full catalogue as a file they can read offline or print.
  • Product feeds per tenantPush your lots to a marketplace or partner site in whatever file format they ask for.
  • Invoice export as PDF, Excel or XMLSend the month's invoices straight to your accountant in the format their system reads.
  • Unlink and sync imagesReconnect photos to the right lots when an image set and a catalogue have drifted apart.

Phase 3 of 7

Pre-bid

Most of an auction's outcome is decided before the first bid. Who is allowed in, on what terms, with what deposit; how the sale is configured, translated and published. This is compliance work as much as commerce, and it is where general-purpose software quietly gives up.

Auction events14

  • Create and edit auctionsSet up a new sale — name it, give it dates, decide how it runs — and change any of that later.
  • Auction overview and managementSee every sale you have running, upcoming and finished on one screen instead of hunting through folders.
  • Twelve configuration tabs per auctionEach sale gets its own settings for fees, terms, registration, dates and more, so a wine sale and a machinery sale can behave completely differently.
  • Separate publication and removal datesPut the catalogue online two weeks before bidding opens, and take it down automatically a month after it closes.
  • Reset dates — shift a whole auction's schedule at onceWhen a sale is postponed a week, move every date on it in one action instead of editing a thousand lots.
  • Timezone per auctionA sale run for Hungarian bidders closes at 8pm Budapest time, not 8pm Amsterdam time.
  • Currency and symbol per auction, 14 currenciesRun a sale in pounds for a UK consignment while everything else stays in euros.
  • Highlight an auction as featuredPush your big spring sale to the top of the homepage while the routine weekly sales sit below it.
  • Bid limit count per auctionCap how many lots one bidder can win in a single sale, so no one sweeps the whole catalogue.
  • Auction translations across nine text typesThe same sale reads properly in Dutch, German and English — title, description, terms, all of it.
  • Auction images and image setsGive each sale its own banner and gallery so the catalogue looks like an event, not a list.
  • Files attached to an auction for downloadAttach the terms of sale, a viewing schedule or a valuation report for bidders to download.
  • Default field templates for new auctionsYour standard sale setup is saved once, so creating the next one takes minutes instead of an afternoon.
  • Store and location assignmentSay which warehouse a sale is run from, so bidders know where to collect before they bid.

Auction formats11

  • Timed auctionsLots open for days or weeks and close on a timer — bidders take part whenever it suits them.
  • Live auctionsA real auctioneer works through the lots while online bidders compete against the room in real time.
  • Hybrid — timed phase into live phase, same lotsLet bidding warm up online for a week, then finish the same lots live with a video stream — no re-listing, no lost bid history.
  • Sealed biddingNobody sees the other bids. Everyone submits once and finds out at the close — used for tenders and sensitive sales.
  • Dutch descending-price auctionsThe price falls on a clock until someone accepts it. Standard in flowers, produce and fish.
  • Private and invite-only auctionsRun a sale only your approved dealers can see, or ask bidders to request access first.
  • AftersalesUnsold lots stay available at the reserve for a while after the sale, so late buyers can still take them.
  • Buy NowLet a buyer skip the bidding and take the lot immediately at a fixed price.
  • Offers below the limit, with accept and rejectAllow bidders to place offers below the starting price so they stay engaged with the lot, then accept or reject each offer yourself.
  • Multi-round and stacked sellingSell the same goods in rounds — the winner takes as many as they want, the rest goes to the next bidder.
  • Multi-bidOne bidder takes several identical lots at the same price in a single action.

Bidders and consignors24

  • Bidder management and searchFind any bidder by name, email or number, and see everything they have done with you.
  • Bidder details and historyWhat they have bid on, won, paid and collected — on one page before you call them.
  • Consignors managed separately from biddersThe same person can sell with you and buy from you, and the system keeps both sides straight.
  • Staff approval before a member can bidNew registrations wait for a human to approve them, so you decide who bids in your sales.
  • KYC with document upload and approval statesAsk for ID or proof of address, have staff review it, and keep the record for compliance.
  • Identification type and number capturedRecord which document you checked and its number, which several countries require for high-value sales.
  • Company and consumer registration pathsA dealer and a private buyer are asked for different things at sign-up, and taxed differently after.
  • Chamber of Commerce and VAT numbers capturedCollect the KvK and BTW numbers you need for a valid business invoice at registration, not at invoicing.
  • VIES VAT validationCheck a European VAT number against the official register before you zero-rate an invoice.
  • SMS verification and two-factorConfirm a bidder's phone number before they bid, and protect staff accounts with a second factor.
  • Registration per auction, with approvalBidders register for each sale separately, so you can vet who takes part in the high-value ones.
  • Registration deposits and paymentsTake a deposit before a bidder can join a sale, and refund or offset it afterwards.
  • Member details snapshotted at each registrationThe address on an invoice is the one they gave for that sale, even if they move house two years later.
  • Found by — how each bidder discovered youAsk new bidders how they found you and see which channel actually brings buyers, not just visitors.
  • Roles, groups and permissionsYour cataloguer, your finance person and your auctioneer each see only what their job needs.
  • Fee overrides for individual membersGive a regular dealer a reduced premium without changing it for everyone else.
  • Member bansBlock a non-payer from bidding again, permanently.
  • Several addresses per memberInvoice the office, deliver to the warehouse.
  • Account deletion for GDPR requestsWhen someone asks to be deleted, do it properly and keep the record that you did.
  • Files released to a single memberGive one buyer their condition report or export paperwork without publishing it to everyone.
  • Lifetime totals — bids, lots won, invoicesSee at a glance whether a bidder is a serious buyer or has never actually paid for anything.
  • Watchlist — bidders follow lotsBidders save the lots they care about and get told before those lots close.
  • Password, profile and two-factor settingsBidders manage their own account, contact preferences and security without ringing you.
  • Every email sent to a member, keptWhen a buyer says they never got the invoice, you can see that it was sent, when, and what it said.

Phase 4 of 7

Live auction

Sixty seconds of a live sale generate more concurrent activity than a month of browsing. The room, the phones, the absentee book and the internet all bid against each other in one sequence — and everyone has to see the same state at the same moment, including the auctioneer.

Live auction14

  • Live auction manager and control panelThe auctioneer drives the sale from one screen — current lot, current bid, what happens next.
  • Low-latency video streamRemote bidders see and hear the auctioneer with almost no delay, so they can bid against the room fairly.
  • Hall screen for the roomA big display showing the current lot, the bid and the currency conversions to the people sitting there.
  • Paddle registration for in-room biddersRegister the room, hand out paddle numbers, and record hall bids against the right buyer.
  • Publish lots into a live sessionTake the lots from a catalogue and load them into the live sale in the order they will be sold.
  • Twelve lot states during a live saleThe system knows whether a lot is open, current, pausing or closing, so what bidders see always matches what the auctioneer is doing.
  • Going once, twice and thrice as system statesThe auctioneer's countdown appears on every screen at once, so online bidders know exactly how long they have.
  • Auctioneer messages shown to the roomAnnounce a delay, a withdrawn lot or a correction to everyone watching, in one line.
  • Five separate operator panelsDifferent staff watch different things during a sale — status, bids, messages, upcoming lots, results — each on their own screen.
  • Live status monitoringSee at a glance that the stream is up, bidders are connected and nothing has stalled.
  • Bid history during the live saleLook back at how a lot got to its price while the sale is still running.
  • Who is connected, and as whatKnow how many bidders are watching right now, and who among them is staff.
  • SignalR real-time transportBids, timers and lot changes reach every screen at once without anyone refreshing.
  • Keyboard shortcuts for the auctioneerRun a fast sale from the keyboard — accept, advance, close — without hunting for buttons.

Bidding engine19

  • Real-time bidding from web, app or an external siteA bid placed on the phone shows up instantly on the website and in the room. One engine behind all of them.
  • Proxy bidding up to a maximumA bidder sets their limit and walks away. The system bids for them, one step at a time, only as far as it needs to.
  • Static biddingA bidder places exactly the amount they typed, with no automatic follow-up.
  • Bid steps that change by price bracket€5 steps up to €100, €25 steps to €1,000, €100 above that — so bidding stays sensible at every price.
  • Skip the first incrementLet the first bid land on the opening price itself rather than one step above it.
  • Soft close — extends when a late bid landsA bid in the final seconds pushes the closing time out, so nobody wins by sniping and lots reach their real price.
  • Reserve price hidden from biddersSet the minimum you will accept without telling the room what it is.
  • Override a reserve that was not metThe consignor agrees on the phone to accept €900 on a €1,000 reserve, and you push it through.
  • Award a lot manually below reserveGrant the lot to the highest bidder anyway, with a record of who decided it and when.
  • Staff placing absentee bids for a bidderA client phones in their maximum before the sale and your staff enter it on their behalf.
  • Phone bids with caller assignmentAssign a staff member to each phone bidder for the lots they care about, so nobody is left ringing out.
  • Retract a bidCancel a bid entered in error and put the lot back to where it was, with an audit record.
  • Bid limits per memberCap a new or unverified bidder at €5,000 until they are established.
  • Guard against implausibly large bidsStop the €500,000 bid on a €500 lot where someone clearly missed the decimal point.
  • Bidders blocked from their own lotsA consignor cannot bid up their own goods.
  • Tied highest bids handled explicitlyWhen two sealed bids come in identical, the system says so rather than picking one silently.
  • Every bid attempt logged with IP addressEvery bid, accepted or refused, is on record — which settles disputes and shows regulators what happened.
  • More than thirty distinct bid outcomesWhen a bid is refused the bidder is told why — under the reserve, past their limit, registration needed — not just 'failed'.
  • Bid origin tracked — hall, internet, proxy, phone, Lot-tissimo, InvaluableKnow whether the winning bid came from the room, your website, the app or a marketplace, and prove which channel earns its keep.

Phase 5 of 7

Aftersale

The hammer is not the end. Goods have to leave the building with the right buyer, in the right package, at the right delivery price per country — and the bidders who lost still need a reason to come back for the next sale.

Logistics8

  • Packing lots into shipmentsGroup a buyer's lots into packages, record what went in each, and track them out of the building.
  • Shipping costs per countryQuote the right delivery price to Germany and to Spain, automatically, on the invoice.
  • Shipping status tracked on the invoiceSee whether a paid lot has been collected, packed or sent, without a separate spreadsheet.
  • Several stores and warehousesRun sales from more than one location, with goods and collection handled per site.
  • Storage location recorded per lotKnow that lot 412 is on rack C in Rotterdam, so it can be found on collection day.
  • Pickup schedulingBuyers book a collection slot instead of all arriving at nine on Monday.
  • Inspection visits booked before the saleSerious buyers arrange to view heavy machinery in person, through the platform.
  • DHL shipping integrationHand a buyer’s lots to DHL from the platform, with shipments created from the auction data you already hold instead of retyped addresses.

Communication7

  • Bulk mail filtered by auction, language, list or last loginEmail everyone who bid in your last wine sale, in their own language — or everyone who has not logged in for a year.
  • Mailing list membershipBidders choose which sales they hear about, and you respect it automatically.
  • Attachments on outgoing mailSend the catalogue or the terms with the announcement rather than as a separate step.
  • Push notifications through FirebaseTell a bidder on their phone that they have been outbid, or that a followed lot is about to close.
  • SMS through MessageBirdText the buyer when they win, when payment is due, or when goods are ready.
  • Downloads, reports and emails in one placeEvery report, export and mailing your staff need, in one part of the back office.
  • Personal download area per userLarge exports are prepared in the background and wait for you, instead of timing out.

Phase 6 of 7

Invoice & settle

This is the stage that decides whether auction software survives contact with an accountant. Two invoices per lot — buyer and consignor — carrying premium, fees, VAT regimes, the margin scheme and part-payments, reconciling to the cent, in a numbering sequence the tax office accepts.

Invoicing and settlement19

  • Automated buyer invoicingWhen the sale closes, invoices go out with hammer price, premium, VAT and costs already calculated.
  • Consignor settlement invoicesThe seller gets their statement too — what sold, what it made, what you deducted, what they are owed.
  • One run creates buyer and consignor invoices togetherClose the sale once and both sides of the paperwork are produced in the same pass, always reconciling.
  • Merge invoices, or one per senderA buyer who won lots from six consignors gets one invoice, or six, depending on how you work.
  • Buyer's Agreement before a number is assignedShow the buyer what they owe before the invoice number is issued, so corrections don't break your numbering.
  • Credit notes linked to the original invoiceCancel or correct an invoice properly, with the credit note tied to what it reverses.
  • Editing invoice lines by handAdd a delivery charge, waive a fee, or fix a line without rebuilding the whole invoice.
  • Finalise and lock an invoiceOnce it is right, freeze it so nobody edits an invoice that has already gone to the buyer.
  • Invoice numbering counterSequential invoice numbers with no gaps, which is what your accountant and the tax office expect.
  • Find invoices by number, recipient or statusAnswer 'has this been paid?' in seconds instead of opening a spreadsheet.
  • Eight payment statusesTrack whether an invoice was paid by card, PIN, cash, bank transfer, or is still pending — not just paid or unpaid.
  • Partial payments trackedA buyer pays half now and half on collection, and the balance is always visible.
  • Invoices and reminders sent, with delivery statusChase late payers automatically, and see who was reminded and when.
  • Invoice log and internal notesRecord the phone call where the buyer promised to pay Friday, against the invoice itself.
  • Billing and delivery address frozen on the invoiceThe invoice keeps the address it was issued to, whatever the buyer changes later.
  • Bank transactions reconciled against invoicesImport the bank statement and let the system match payments to invoices instead of doing it by eye.
  • Consignor payouts with an approval stepMoney owed to sellers is prepared, approved by a second person, and recorded when sent.
  • Payment provider logsWhen a card payment fails, see exactly what the provider said.
  • Peppol e-invoicingSend buyer invoices as structured e-invoices over the Peppol network, so they land directly in the recipient’s accounting system — no PDF to rekey.

Fees, commission and tax14

  • Buyer's premium as a percentage of hammerAdd your commission on top of the hammer price automatically, on every lot.
  • Fees as a fixed amount or a percentageCharge 20% commission and a flat €5 lot fee, together, on the same invoice.
  • Minimum and maximum caps per feeCommission is 15%, but never less than €10 and never more than €2,000.
  • Commission tiers by price bracket25% on the first €50,000, 20% above it — the standard auction-house model, built in.
  • Fees set at auction, lot or member levelDifferent rates for a charity sale, for one negotiated lot, or for a regular dealer.
  • Fee groupsBundle premium, insurance and lot fee into one named scheme you apply in a click.
  • Extra costs on individual lotsAdd transport, restoration or storage costs to the lots that actually incurred them.
  • Commission agreed per bidderHonour the rate you negotiated with a particular trade buyer.
  • VAT rates per country, with EU handlingSell to Germany, France and Belgium from one platform and get the VAT right in each case.
  • VAT-free and margin schemeHandle second-hand goods sold under the margin scheme, where VAT applies only to your commission.
  • BPM for Dutch vehicle salesHandle the Dutch vehicle tax correctly on car lots, separately from VAT.
  • Intra-community supply flagged on invoice linesZero-rate a sale to a VAT-registered business in another EU country, and mark it as such.
  • VAT included or excluded, per lineShow consumer prices with VAT and trade prices without, on the same platform.
  • Intrastat reportingProduce the cross-border goods figures required once your EU trade passes the threshold.

Phase 7 of 7

Foundation

Underneath the lifecycle sits what every phase relies on: the APIs and webhooks that connect your systems, the search index, the translations, the audit trail, and a multi-tenant architecture that has carried more than twenty-five auction houses without ever sharing their data.

Integration15

  • Two APIs — a modern REST API and a legacy system-to-system APIBuild your own front end, or connect your existing systems, without waiting for us to build it for you.
  • Around ninety endpoints across twenty controllersAlmost everything the platform does can be driven from your own software.
  • Swagger documentationYour developer can read the API and start building the same day.
  • Public read API needing no authenticationShow your live lots on a partner site or a marketing page without handing out credentials.
  • OAuth2.0 with OpenID ConnectStandard, current authentication that your security team will recognise and approve.
  • Single sign-on across every site and appOne login for the website, the app and the back office.
  • Roles — administrator, bidder, guestSystems connecting to you get only the access they need.
  • Outbound webhooks with per-endpoint secretsWhen a lot sells or a bidder registers, we notify your CRM or ERP immediately — no polling, signed so you know it is really us.
  • Event system feeding bidder profiles into a CRMBuild a picture of what each bidder is interested in from what they actually do, and act on it in your CRM.
  • Generic link registry across entitiesConnect anything to anything — a lot to a document, a member to a case — without a schema change.
  • Lots imported from an existing back officeKeep using the system you already have for stock, and push lots into the auction from it.
  • Invoices exported to accounting systemsSales and settlements land in Exact or your accounting package without rekeying.
  • Listings pushed to Invaluable and Lot-tissimo, bids tracked backReach the marketplaces' audience while running your own platform, and see which channel produced each bid.
  • Stripe, Mollie and QuickPayTake card, iDEAL and local payment methods, or plug in the provider you already use.
  • Scheduled background jobsImports, exports and reminders run overnight on their own.

Platform and architecture12

  • Twenty-five-plus auction houses on one stackThis is not built for you from scratch. It already runs live sales for more than twenty-five auction businesses.
  • A separate database for each tenantYour data sits in its own database, not in a shared table with a customer column. Isolation your auditor will accept.
  • Tenant resolved from the access tokenYour integrations can only ever reach your own data.
  • Azure hosting that scales automaticallyThe last five minutes of a sale, when everyone bids at once, is the moment the platform is built for.
  • Fast search across lots and auctionsBidders search a catalogue of tens of thousands of lots and get results instantly.
  • Faceted search driven by configurable fieldsThe filters on your site come from the fields you defined, so a wine sale filters by vintage and a car sale by mileage.
  • 265 configuration settingsFees, VAT, bidding, registration, email, branding — configured for your business rather than coded for it.
  • Settings scoped separately for Manager and websiteThe same setting can behave one way for staff and another for bidders.
  • Three ways to run the front endTake our hosted site, add auctions to the website you already have, or build your own on the API.
  • Blazor and Drupal front endsTwo proven front-end stacks, or your own — the platform does not force one on you.
  • White-label apps for iOS and AndroidYour own app in the App Store and Play Store, under your name, not ours.
  • CDN image delivery, resized on requestCatalogue photos load fast for bidders anywhere, at the size each screen needs.

Content and languages13

  • CMS for website contentChange the text and images on your own site — about page, terms, contact — without calling anyone.
  • 16,460 translatable interface stringsEvery word a bidder sees can be changed or translated, down to individual button labels.
  • Website and Manager translated separatelyYour staff work in Dutch while your bidders read English, from the same system.
  • Manager interface translationBack-office staff in another country work in their own language.
  • Long-form CMS text translatedTerms and conditions, delivery policy and help pages all exist in each language you sell in.
  • Category names translated'Meubelen' and 'Furniture' are the same category, shown correctly to each bidder.
  • Email templates per languageThe invoice email, the outbid email and the reminder each go out in the bidder's own language.
  • Merge tags inside email templatesWrite the template once with placeholders for name, lot and amount, and it fills itself in.
  • News posts with images and uploadsPublish sale announcements and press pieces on your own site.
  • CMS navigation menusChange your site's menu structure yourself as the business changes.
  • Managed document and link menusKeep terms, forms and downloads in one managed list rather than scattered across pages.
  • Category tree managementBuild the category structure that fits your goods, and change it as your segments change.
  • Store opening hours and contact detailsPublish collection times and contacts per location, so buyers stop ringing to ask.

Reporting and audit7

  • Statistics dashboardSee how a sale performed — lots sold, prices made, bidders active — without building a report.
  • Engagement per lot — views, previews, bidsTell a consignor their lot was viewed 300 times before it sold, and spot the lots that need a better photo.
  • Lot access log with IP, browser and referrerSee where your bidders come from and which sites send them.
  • Every search bidders run, recordedRead what people are actually searching for in your catalogue — the best possible guide to what to buy in next.
  • Audit trail of who changed whatWho changed that reserve, and when. Every action, by every user, on record.
  • Report and inventory endpointsPull sale results and stock figures into your own reporting.
  • Background job progressWatch a long import or export run and know it finished cleanly.
