One platform, the whole operation
Cataloguing, selling, collecting, shipping, accounting: each step hands cleanly to the next, and every step wears your brand.
01 · Intake
Photograph it. The catalogue writes itself.
A draft title, category, condition and a market estimate in your currency, edited by your cataloguer, never overwritten.

Selling
Every format, every bidding channel
Room paddles, phone bids, absentee commissions and online bidders land in one ledger, whatever the format.
Timed sales
Lots on countdown clocks with staggered closing, automatic settlement, and increment ladders you control per sale.
Proxy bidding, done right
Max bids fight one increment at a time and settle the way Bidspirit and eBay bidders expect. Soft-close extends the clock when late bids land. No sniping.
Live & hybrid sales
A rostrum console for the auctioneer, a clerk panel for room and phone bids, and hybrid sales that carry online pre-bids into the live finale. Available as an add-on with sub-second video.
Reserves with discretion
Consignor floors are enforced automatically on every sale, with an explicit auctioneer override on the floor when the room justifies it.
Tiered buyer's premium
Premium tiers and hammer fees computed server-side, shown to the bidder as an all-in "total if you win" before they commit.
Clone, reschedule, revert
Duplicate last week's sale in one click. Extend a live auction mid-sale, archive an old one, or send a sale back to draft. From the admin, never a support ticket.
A catalogue that moves
Bids tick across the storefront as they land and the grid re-sorts as lots close, so the sale reads live to a bidder who just arrived.
Tamper-evident record
Every live-auction event is hash-chained. A disputed hammer has a cryptographically verifiable history.
Back office
A tight house, by construction
AI cataloguing
Photograph a lot and get a draft title, description, condition and a market estimate in your currency, tuned with your own house context, with compliance text that can never be lost.
Consignor settlements
Commission precedence per lot, consignor or house; branded settlement statements emailed in one click; batch payouts with a full audit trail.
The consignor portal
Consignors get an invited login, watch their own lots go into the sale, sell and pay out, and download their own settlement statement. They stop phoning to ask.
Bidder accounts
Bidders pay, download their own invoice and follow their bids and favourites themselves, instead of emailing your office.
Staff roles
Admins and workers with per-person grants. Cataloguers work all day without ever seeing revenue figures. The numbers are never even sent to their browser.
Bidder trust
BankID/MitID verification, approval gates for new signups, IP blocklists and a duplicate-registration guard against serial non-payers. Self-bidding on own consignments is structurally blocked.
Your brand, self-served
Colours, fonts, logo, hero and page copy are yours to change from the admin. No ticket, no invoice, no waiting on our dev queue.
Inventory that survives relisting
Stable item numbers across re-listings, frozen SEO slugs, nested categories, unsold-lot flip to the next sale in bulk.
Every decision, on the record
Orders, payouts, reschedules, reserve overrides, staff changes and our own support logins, each with who, when and why.
Reach
Bidders in their own language
Storefront in twelve languages with automatic detection of the visitor's browser language. Catalogue translation and search indexing are enabled per house.
Translated catalogues
Lot titles, descriptions and condition reports machine-translated into every supported language, with a review panel. Your edits are never overwritten.
Search that finds you
hreflang, per-language sitemaps and product structured data, so translated pages earn their own search traffic.
A public price record
Sold lots stay online at frozen URLs, searchable and sortable: a permanent record of what your house achieves, still earning search traffic years after the sale.
Feeds into your ad accounts
A Meta catalog feed for Shops and retargeting, and policy-safe Google Ads page feeds: the approach the large auction players use.
The winner loop
Mailchimp sync tags every winner per auction automatically, and drafts a branded promo campaign for your next sale in one click.
Unsold lots become e-commerce
Push lots to Shopify as draft products in one click, single or bulk. Images, price and SKU come across with them.
Announcements & email, branded
Outbid and winner emails from your own domain, in your own email shell. Not ours. One branded broadcast tells every winner of a sale when to collect, sent from your own address.
The platform bids, invoices and pays out in EUR, SEK, USD, GBP, NOK and DKK, with chart-of-accounts defaults per country and invoices in five languages. Houses run live today in three countries and three VAT regimes. Tell us where you sell and we'll confirm your currency, VAT treatment and paperwork on the call.
Thirty minutes, your whole workflow
Bring a recent sale's catalogue. We'll walk it through the platform end to end.
