Results the moment bidding closes

01

The challenge

Charity auctions ran on paper bid sheets, with lost pens, last-second sniping and a volunteer adding it all up at midnight.

02

What was built

A self-serve platform: QR posters, phone bidding, opt-in outbid alerts, per-item anti-snipe, a live event screen and an instant bid report.

03

What changed

Organisers set up in minutes and leave with a full report. Free up to ten items, then $29 or $79 per event.

Inside the system
