The operating system for auction houses
Run the whole house.
Under your own name.
Legacy auction software stops at the hammer. Marketplaces take a cut and keep your bidders. This one runs the whole house: invoicing, VAT, shipping, payouts and your books. On your own domain, for a flat monthly fee.
Flat monthly fee. 0% of hammer. Migration included.

01 · Selling
Every format, one ledger.
Timed sales with proxy bidding and anti-sniping soft-close. Live floor auctions with a purpose-built auctioneer console. Hybrid sales that carry weeks of online pre-bids into a live finish: room paddles, phone, absentee and online all in a single record.
02 · Brand
Your name on every page.
Custom domain, your colours and fonts, email from your own address, invoices with your logo. Change the colours, the fonts, the hero and the page copy yourself, from the admin. No ticket, no dev queue. Payments settle into your own Stripe account, and the bidder list stays yours. Your brand throughout. Bidders never deal with us.
03 · After the hammer
The books close themselves.
The sale closes and the buyer orders are already generated, waiting for your approval. Invoices, payment links and reminders. Shipping labels with per-country zones. Margin-scheme VAT with export handling, and a continuous sync to your own accounting system. Month-end is a date range and a download.
Reach bidders in their language
Storefront in twelve languages with automatic detection, catalogue translation that search engines index, and feeds into your own Meta and Google ad accounts.
Run a tight house
AI cataloguing from a photo, staff roles that keep the books away from cataloguers, BankID verification, and a live sale whose every bid and hammer is hash-chained.
Let consignors follow their own lots
Your sellers get their own login: each lot moving from in-auction to sold to paid out, and their settlement statement to download. The phone stops ringing.
Switch without losing your history
Bidders, lots, sales history and item-number continuity move with you. Settlement statements keep the layout your consignors already know.
