Switch without losing your history
The reason houses stay on ageing systems is fear of the move. We made the move the product: a proven cutover that keeps your bidders, your numbering and your paperwork continuity.
The playbook
Three steps, one week
We import your history
Bidders, lots and sales history come across as display-only records. Your lifetime statistics stay whole, and nothing in the import can touch money.
Continuity where it counts
Item-number series continue where your old system stopped. Settlement statements keep the layout your consignors have seen for years.
Cutover in a day
DNS moves to your whitelabel storefront with a rollback measured in minutes, and bidder accounts come across so nobody re-registers. A localised announcement bar sits at the top of the storefront whenever you need it, in each bidder's own language: viewing times, a new collection address.
Proof
Bastionen made this exact move
Bastionen Auktioner switched from a legacy auction system and runs weekly hybrid sales on their own domain. Their bidders kept their accounts; their consignors kept their familiar statements; their item numbers kept counting.
Coming from Skeleton
The move we know best
Bastionen came from Skeleton. The import, the item-number continuity and the settlement-statement layout were built for exactly this cutover, including the hybrid sale format Skeleton houses run, natively supported.
Your bidders keep their accounts, your consignors keep their familiar paperwork, and your weekly rhythm doesn't skip a sale.
Coming from Bidspirit
Conventions your bidders already know
Max bids settle one increment above the runner-up, the same convention Bidspirit bidders expect. Soft-close protects every late bid, so switching houses don't have to re-educate their audience.
Whitelabel means the storefront is yours alone: your domain, your brand, your bidder list. Flat fee, 0% of hammer.
