Problem
Legacy auction software stops at the hammer, forcing auction houses to rely on separate tools or marketplaces for post-sale operations. Marketplaces take a commission and keep the bidders, while disconnected systems create manual work for invoicing, shipping, and bookkeeping.
Solution
Auctioned is an operating system for auction houses that runs the entire operation from first photograph to closed books on the house's own domain. The platform supports timed sales with proxy bidding and anti-sniping soft-close, live floor auctions with a purpose-built auctioneer console, and hybrid sales that combine online pre-bids with live finishes. After the sale, invoicing, VAT, shipping, payouts, and bookkeeping are automated and integrated with services like Stripe, Shipmondo, and accounting tools. The platform runs on a flat monthly fee with zero commission on hammer prices, and bidders only ever interact with the house's brand, never with Auctioned.
Target Audience
Primary customers are independent auction houses and auctioneers who want to run their entire operation—from cataloguing to post-sale settlement—on their own branded domain without paying marketplace commissions.
