Timed / Online Only Auction Software

BidStreamTM ships with a fully configurable cloud based timed online only bidding software platform that is easy to set up and use.

We recognise that the main challenge of running timed auctions alongside auction aggregator platforms is that fees will apply to every lot hammered at a cost to you or your bidders.

Platforms are reluctant to work with private label timed bidding platforms and have tried to discourage auctioneers form using them.

However, we have developed a unique set of timed clerking tools that empower auctioneers to operate the 3rd party platforms alongside their private label timed auction and stay in sync. This means you or your bidders only pay internet fees for the lots that hammer to the platform.

You benefit from a fixed monthly cost to run as many timed auctions as you need, and more of the platform bidders will migrate to your private label as they see the savings to be made by bidding direct.

Private Label Online Only Auction Software

Run timed auction software as part of our all in one solution or as a bolt on to your existing website. Buyers are now actively bidding at much higher values in timed online only auctions, we've worked with our auction partners to release the Bid-Up-NowTM feature that recreates the thrill and excitement of in-person auctions making this technology even more compelling for bidders.

Plus, one of the main advantages of our timed online only bidding software is that every lot is set to end consecutively as default. No more issues of only the active lots extending and bidders missing out on subsequent items.

Versatile Timed Auction Software

Most timed online bidding software tends to be one size fits all. We've worked with our client portfolio to build in customisation to suit their specific requirements.

For example, you have options at the individual auction level to completely control the timing between lots, anti-snip extension times, consecutive, batch or all non-active endings, phase off times, bidder focus settings, enable Bid-up-NowTM or set deposits or credit limits to the users or lots..

And as with all of our software products we can style the user interface to suit your business model and vertical giving your users the best experience. Get in touch to see the versatility we offer.

Anti bid sniping software

Anti Bid Sniping and Auction Control Tools

All of our timed online bidding solutions have anti-sniping tools in place. You can decide how long an items bid window extends if a user leaves a bid in the very last millisecond and you can add policies to extend all of the following lots by the same time to make your timed auctions truly linear - just like the actuol auction room.

Plus with our timed auction clerking tools, if you are not happy about bidder activity during a sale you can manually extend a lot, pass it, or withdraw it with ease. You can even pause a sale while you ban a rogue bidder and then resume from any lot in the auction.

Bid-Up-NowTM

Our extensive use case testing on timed online auctions in conjunction with our user base highlighted that adding a maximum bid value manually as a lot closes is clunky and can lead to bidders missing out as an item before it closes.

This led to our team developing the class leading 'Bid up NowTM solution for timed auctions. Simply, when an item is in the anti-sniping window, the bid entry area changes to a button that when clicked bids up to the next increment, just as it would in a live online sale. This makes is it easy to get those last second bids in, and makes the timed auction more exciting for bidders!

Mobile responsive auction software

Mobile Responsive Timed Auction Software

We learned that users on desktop and mobile interact with timed auctions differently. It was important for us to create highly customised views for mobile so that bidders know exactly which lot they are bidding on as lots end.

The BidstreamTM timed auction experience on mobile feels and acts like an app making it really easy for bidding on the go, and our realtime software works at low connection speeds so it's perfect for mobile devices.

We also offer optional countdown phasing at the end of each lot to avoid any user confusion when bidding so that users are always clear as to which lot they are bidding on.
