Segments

Twelve segments. One platform. That combination is the whole argument.

Specialist vendors build for one market and inherit its assumptions. We have spent twenty-seven years discovering which parts of an auction are universal and which are configuration.

Why it matters to you

Your business will not stay in one segment.

Auction houses expand. An art house takes on jewellery, then design objects. A liquidator picks up vehicles. A machinery specialist is asked to handle the property the machines sit in. Every one of those moves is trivial on a platform that already covers the ground, and a migration project on one that does not.

It is the same reason our customers stay: the platform has never been the reason they could not do something.

How one platform fits twelve segments

Lot types and custom fields on the full list →

  • 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.
