Automated Auctions

Bid farewell to paper bid sheets and the checkout scramble.

If you’ve ever staffed a traditional silent auction you’re familiar with the issues that can make the event less enjoyable and less profitable—blank bid sheets, incorrect bid increments, auction abandonment, table hovering, and the checkout scramble, to name just a few.

Wirelessly automating your auction with BidPal eliminates these obstacles and streamlines your event.

At event registration guests are offered a BidPal device or the opportunity to connect to the auction via their own smartphone. Guests take the auction with them so they can bid, donate and buy raffle tickets from anywhere at any time during the event.

With uninterrupted access to the silent auction—and instant outbid alerts—guests at a BidPal automated auction bid, on average, three times as often as those at a traditional auction. More bidding means more profits for your organization.

At auction end there is no checkout scramble. The auction simply closes. There are no bid sheets to pick up, no calculating to do, and no receipts to handwrite. It is all automated. And, at events using myBidPal Payments, even the checkout line is obsolete.

BidPal makes charitable events more fun and more profitable with less administrative work. Bid farewell to old-fashioned pen and paper and say hello to higher profits!
