Live Auction Software

It is a platform that replaces standalone auction management tools with one solution for managing a live bidding experience. The software runs real-time auctions where an auctioneer opens, manages, and closes lots while bidders compete live from the floor, online, by phone, or as absentee bids. Auction software for live auctions synchronizes video, audio, and bidding so participants see identical price data.

Auction operators control the event through a central dashboard by manually opening lots, adjusting bid increments, and validating incoming bids. The system merges floor, phone, and online streams into one feed to prevent duplicate bids on the same item. When the operator accepts a bid, the system updates the lot status and price changes on participant screens.

Our real-time auction software pushes outbid and lot-closing alerts to users when a higher bid lands. The system maintains an open data connection between the server and each active browser window during the live event. This responsiveness makes remote bidding feel like being on the conventional auction floor.

If a bidder goes offline, the platform preserves their session data and active bids so they stay in the auction. When the browser reconnects, the system updates the interface to match the current live bid and countdown timer. This prevents data loss or missed opportunities during brief network drops.

Yes, you can archive video feeds and bidding logs in the platform for compliance checks and post-event audits. The software can also output standard streams, allowing you to broadcast the auctioneer feed to external video providers.

Absentee bids are saved in the system before the auction starts, and the software places them up to the bidder’s limit. For phone buyers, the manager types the bid into the control panel during the live call. The platform then displays both types on the screen alongside regular online bids.

The auctioneer can reject the last entry and roll back the current price to the previous step using the control panel. The system updates the live screen for participants and removes the incorrect value from the active history log. This allows your team to correct user input errors without restarting the lot.

You need a computer to run the browser-based auction dashboard, a camera, a microphone, and an internet connection with at least 10 Mbps upload speed for stable video streaming. The software runs in standard web browsers and doesn’t require local server hardware on your premises. We help you choose and configure the right setup during onboarding
