Run a true live sale online — without a human caller. BidWright's live engine presents each lot, calls "who'll open?", takes bids on a silence timer, then goes once, twice, sold. Built entirely in-house, with no plugins or licence fees.
Live auction software runs a real-time, lot-by-lot sale online. Most platforms still need a human auctioneer driving it. BidWright's live engine is different: it automates the auctioneer's cadence, so lots are presented, opened, bid up, and knocked down on their own — keeping the energy of a live sale without the staffing.
The engine runs the rhythm itself — present, open, bid, hammer — so you can hold live sales without a human auctioneer.
An 8-second silence timer drives the pace and resets on every bid — exactly like a real room going quiet.
Increments are calculated automatically from the current price, keeping the cadence natural at any level.
Each lot moves through the same rhythm a great auctioneer uses — automatically.
The lot is introduced; bidding opens shortly.
An open-call window invites the first bid; silence here closes the lot for no interest.
Bids fly; an 8-second silence timer resets with every new bid.
The timer runs down; a late bid pulls the lot back to active.
Last call — one more chance before the hammer.
The lot is knocked down to the winner; an intermission cues the next.
High-value or specialist lots that deserve the drama of a live call.
Run a scheduled live event your audience tunes into, lot after lot.
Move a full catalogue at pace, with automatic increments keeping it brisk.
The energy of "going once, going twice" lifts the room and the totals.
Pair the live engine with scheduled community live auctions for recurring sales.
Hold live sales without hiring a caller for every event.
The live cadence is our own code — the phases, the silence timer, the bid ladder. No plugin could run this, and no third-party licence sits in the path. We can tune the timing and behaviour to your sale.
Book a 30-minute demo and watch the automated auctioneer run a lot end to end — present, bid, hammer.
In-house. No plugins. No licence fees.
