— SECTION 3 — AUCTION & BIDS —
Room, telephone and online — brought together in one workstation.
Auction day leaves no time for searching. That is why the catalogue, bidder numbers, written bids and telephone bidders are all shown in the same view — and every knockdown immediately becomes the basis for the invoice.
◆ Live room control
◆ Telephone bidder management
◆ Bidder numbers in real time
◆ Bid approval
— THREE WAYS TO BID —
Where the bids come from — and how they come together.
In the room
Live mode with object navigation and knockdown recording. All participating workstations see the current status in real time — the bidder number is checked when the lot is called.
By phone
Set up telephone bidders, automatically assign open telephone bids, redistribute them manually and define the order — taking the bidder’s language into account.
Written & online
Quick entry, AI recognition of handwritten bid forms or import from the online portal — matched against the existing person records.
— BEFORE THE AUCTION —
Everything is ready before the first hammer falls.
Auction days and starting numbers
Multiple auction days per auction, each with its own starting number and its own catalogue section.
Bidder numbers from number ranges
Assignment, verification and allocation to the person — duplicate assignments are detected immediately.
Bidder types
Room, telephone, written, online — each type has its own rules and reporting.
Bid approval
Bids can be reviewed and approved before becoming effective — for example for new customers or high amounts.
Bidder registration and telephone connection
As a guided process, so that nothing has to be improvised on auction day.

— WHAT IT BRINGS —
Auction day without paperwork chaos.
Real time instead of later updates
The knockdown is immediately in the system, not entered into the records in the evening.
Telephone bidders under control
Automatic assignment instead of lists prepared the night before.
Bid forms without retyping
A photo is enough — the original remains stored as a document linked to the person.
Control before becoming effective
Approval workflow for bids that need to be reviewed.
Next: the knockdown becomes a document.
Buyer invoice and consignor settlement, commission rules, ZUGFeRD and payment reconciliation.
