Auction software that looks like your house — not a SaaS template.

No — and we won't pretend to. The cookie-cutter auction SaaS products on the market (Bidlogix, Auction Mobility, the various WordPress plugins) are perfectly fine for some auctioneers. They are also why most independent auction houses' websites look identical. We build bespoke. Your bidder interface, your buyer's-premium structure, your lot intake workflow, your post-sale invoicing and shipping integrations are all custom. You own the code.

Timed online auctions (eBay-style countdown with anti-sniping extensions), live webcast auctions (real-time bidding alongside the rostrum and phone bids), Buy-It-Now / private treaty fixed-price listings, sealed-bid tender auctions, and hybrid formats. We've also built bid-on-behalf workflows for high-value clients who don't want to bid live themselves.

Yes. Every bidder is KYC'd before they can register a card or place a bid above your configurable threshold. We integrate with Onfido, Veriff or SumSub for ID + selfie verification, plus a card-AVS pre-auth so we know the payment method is genuine before the hammer falls. For fine-art clients we add UBO checks, sanctions screening and source-of-funds questions for purchases above €10k.

Yes — every sale becomes a sales invoice (with buyer's premium, VAT margin scheme where applicable, and shipping line items) in your accounting system of choice. Refunds become credit notes. Consignor settlements are produced as a downloadable statement plus a draft purchase invoice for your finance team to approve. We've built this against Sage 50, Sage 200, AccountsIQ, Xero and NetSuite.

MVP for a single-format house (e.g. timed online only): 8–12 weeks. Full hybrid (timed + live webcast + private treaty): 14–20 weeks. We always start with a 2-week paid discovery so you know exactly what you're getting, and we ship in fortnightly increments so you see real progress instead of a black-box delivery.

Yes — we integrate with low-latency RTMP / WebRTC providers (Mux, Cloudflare Stream, AWS IVS) so bidders see the rostrum within 2–3 seconds of the room. The bidding clock is server-authoritative, so there's no advantage to a faster connection. We also build the auctioneer's clerk interface (lot calling, room/phone/online bid entry, hammer).

You do. The source code, the database, the brand, every line of CSS. We host it (or migrate to your cloud), we run it on a small monthly retainer, and we keep building features as your business grows. If you ever want to take it in-house or move providers, you can — there's no lock-in, no proprietary file formats, no per-lot fee.
