From bidder approval to invoices and settlement — one connected auction workflow.
More than online bidding
Practical control before, during and after the auction.
BidPortal connects the operational work around an auction, not only the moment a bidder places a bid.
Stay in control of bidder access
Manage registrations, approval rules, FICA documents and deposit-required auctions before bidders can participate.
Run and monitor online bidding
Give approved bidders a clear timed bidding experience while you monitor registrations, bids, auction activity and status.
Move from winners to settlement
Generate winner invoices, track payments and balances, manage refunds, collection readiness, settlement and reports.
One connected workflow
Keep every auction stage connected.
Move from setup to catalogue, bidder control, bidding, invoices, payments and reports without jumping between disconnected tools.
