We create your industrial auction

Enterprise solutions for auctions – a system from process initiation to delivery. Live-stream auctions, timed & soft-close auctions, back office, process management, logistics & AI features.

Auction software

One system – from object delivery to delivery.

Auction houses have special requirements: complex processes, high visitor numbers, time-sensitive bids, international customers, legal frameworks, and a high degree of trust. With bluetronix, you can realize your own auction platform in various stages of development – from the classic presentation site to the enterprise project with its own server infrastructure and cluster operation.

Delivery

After handover, each object is uniquely captured via QR code and permanently linked to the Plutronics system. Thus, the digital process begins directly at delivery, and every further step can be documented without gaps and tracked in the system.

Item description

In the next step, the object and item are described and photographed. These tasks can be carried out by various employees. For text creation, modern AI functions can be used upon request to prepare content more quickly and efficiently.

Catalog creation

Subsequently, the recorded items are assigned to appropriate categories and compiled into a complete auction catalog. Before publication, the finished catalog can be reviewed by a senior employee and released during the final inspection.

Administration

The items are centrally managed in the auction house or warehouse. An integrated positioning system documents exactly where an item is located, who stored it, and which employee last removed or worked on it.

Web Publication

Once the catalog is approved, it is made visible to customers on the website. Interested parties can view items, add them to a watch list, prepare bids, and comfortably manage their personal bidding lists directly within the system.

Newsletter

Various methods are available for customer notifications, such as the Plutronics newsletter system, traditional mail via a postal interface, or push notifications within a dedicated app. This ensures that each piece of information reaches the right recipients.

Bidding Portal

Customers can register via the website and will automatically be recorded in the customer management system in the back office. In the bidding portal, watch lists, bidding lists, and archive lists can be managed. Additionally, concealed bids and practical bid-agent functions are available.

Auction

For the actual auction, options include timed auctions, soft close auctions, and live auctions. In all variants, floor bidders and online bidders can be connected, allowing items to be auctioned together in a seamless process.

Post-Sale

Unsold or still available items can be offered on the website after the auction in a post-sale. This area can also be effectively combined with targeted customer notifications and special newsletters.

Invoice Generation

After the completion of the sale, invoices can be generated automatically, semi-automatically, or completely manually. This allows the system to support both fast standard processes and individual special cases in daily auction business.

Banking & Payment

Customers can pay by credit card, PayPal, or traditional bank transfer. Bank transactions can be directly assigned to the Plutronic system via a customized import system, allowing for faster and more secure processing of incoming payments.

Reminder

For outstanding receivables, the system can generate automated reminders. Customers with payment delays are reliably recorded, and the tracking of open amounts can be managed systematically and time-efficiently within the system.

Delivery

After successful payment, the item can be shipped or picked up at the auction house. For personal handover, a digital confirmation of receipt can be provided directly in the Plutronic system, such as by signature on a pad.

Tracking & History

Customers can always track the location of their shipment and the planned delivery time in the bidding portal. This keeps the shipping status transparent, and the entire item history is clearly viewable for customers and employees.

Settlement for Depositors

A customizable settlement module is available for depositors, which can take into account different commission rates and discount systems. The settlement is provided digitally as a PDF and can be viewed in the internal portal.

Archiving

Auctions and items can be permanently made available in an archive. This allows customers to learn about past auction items even after the auctions have ended. At the same time, the archive enhances visibility in search engines and AI search tools.

 

Types of Auctions

Three variants flexibly combinable

Utilize time auctions, soft-close, or live-stream auctions – individually or combined. Items that do not receive a bid can optionally be listed in the post-sale after the auction.

Time Auctions

Ends at a fixed time. Ideal for planned online auctions with a clear narrative.

Soft-Close Auctions

Automatically extends with new bids just before the end. More fairness, less sniping.

Live auctions

Auctioneer live via video, bids live, hammer price live. Hybrid possible: in-person + online simultaneously.

Live auctions

Auction hall & online cleanly connected

With the auction house console, you can additionally broadcast classic in-person auctions online – synchronously and transparently. Employees of your auction house operate the console and transmit bidding steps, awarded bids, and lot changes in real-time. Online bidders can follow the auction via video and place live bids through the website or app without delay, as if they were sitting directly in the hall. In this area, concealed bidding steps can also be implemented, such as through automatic bidding agent bids. Online bidders can see at any time whether they are the current highest bidder, whether the leading bid comes from the hall, or was possibly placed via an external live console, and can raise their bid at any time.

Live Stream mit Multi-Cam Umschaltung

Multi-Cam Stream

Live stream – switch between 3 cameras

Live Stream mit Multi-Cam Umschaltung

For live auctions, we implement a setup where you can switch live between three cameras – e.g., total shot, auctioneer, item detail. The viewer sees video, the current bid, and status simultaneously and can bid live in parallel.

  • Live video of the auctioneer + bid overlay
  • Switching between 3 camera feeds (e.g., hall / auctioneer / item)
  • Real-time bidding via web and app
  • Internal consoles: auction and employee console

Auction website

Presentation, catalog, dates – easy to maintain

With bluetronix auction software, you can comprehensively present your auction house: company profile, team, history, collections, and areas of focus. Your items are clearly displayed as a catalog – with professional detail pages for each item. You can also communicate auction dates, post-sales, and timelines clearly. Optionally with a newsletter, news section, internal areas, and multilingual capabilities.

bluetronix CMS - PC, Mac, Pad, Phone

CMS Features for Auction Houses

These features form the foundation for your professional auction appearance: catalog, bidder comfort, automatic media processing, and clean data flows. You can get started directly – and later expand to a complete auction platform and enterprise growth as needed.

Item list with images & live bids

Your object list can be displayed as a modern catalog – including preview images, starting prices, current bids, and clear status indicators. During active auctions, bids are updated dynamically, allowing bidders to see their position at any time – without constant refreshing and confusion.

Watchlist & Archive lists for bidders

Bidders can add items to a watchlist, monitor collections, and build their own favorites lists. Additionally, archive lists are available, e.g., for previously viewed items, past auctions, or 'recently viewed'. This keeps users oriented in the portal and allows them to quickly find their way back to interesting lots.

Import & Export of items (CSV / TXT)

If your inventory is already in another system, you can import object and item lists cleanly (e.g., CSV or TXT). You can also export data – for internal filing, external service providers, or for further processing in other processes. This saves time, prevents typos, and keeps data consistent.

Excel import/export for your storage

Many auction houses work internally with Excel sheets – for commissions, catalog data, or interim statuses. bluetronix supports data exchange via Excel, allowing you to quickly move data between filing, team, and system. Ideal if you have multiple people involved in the process or need to consolidate inventory from different sources.

Image uploads as a list & assignment by article number

You can upload many images in one step and then automatically assign them – for example, via item numbers or defined image numbers. This is especially practical when you have photo workflows in the team or if image material is already structured. This quickly results in a clean, professional catalog.

Automatic image scaling & AI background removal

Images are automatically optimized during upload: suitable sizes, fast loading times, and clear presentation on desktop and smartphone. Additionally, an AI function can optionally be used to remove backgrounds or neutralize them. This creates a uniform appearance and saves a lot of time in image editing.

System emails for bidders

The system can automatically inform bidders via email, e.g., when a bid is placed, outbid, auction win, invoice creation, or important status changes. This makes your portal reliable, bidders remain active – and you reduce inquiries, as users always know what to expect next.

Push notifications in the app

If you use the app, bidders also receive push alerts – e.g., when a bid is placed, outbid, auction win, or shortly before a lot expires. This significantly increases participation because users don't have to constantly check in but are reminded at just the right moment.

VR tour & 360° walkthroughs

Present your auction house or auction location as a virtual tour: 360° images can be compiled into a tour and embedded on your website. This builds trust, increases time spent on the site, and makes the location tangible – especially helpful for international visitors.

Stable data structure & clean workflows

The functions are database-based and designed to allow your inventory to be quickly maintained, published, and later expanded. This ensures your presentation is not only attractive but also technically sound – an important point if you plan to later add live auctions, back office, and automation.

Voice input for object entry & AI text conversion

During item and object entry, you can dictate descriptions directly on your smartphone or tablet using voice input. The system automatically converts the input into text and can subsequently improve the content through AI.

Online marketing & campaign evaluation

If you run online marketing campaigns (e.g., Google Ads and Facebook/Instagram Ads), you can evaluate them cleanly in the system. You can see which campaigns really bring visitors and bidders, which content works, and where you should optimize your budget – instead of just guessing 'click numbers'.

Statistics for visitors & detailed evaluations

With the integrated statistics, you can precisely see how visitors use your website – and derive targeted improvements from it. You not only analyze 'overall', but also receive detailed views to make informed decisions: Which auction attracts? Which object pages are viewed often? Which countries are active?

SEO & GEO – optimized for search engines and AI searches

All pages and database-based content (e.g., object pages, news, dates, and archive areas) are structured to be easily findable – both for classic search engines (SEO) as well as for modern AI search systems and generative search results (GEO). The system automatically generates important structures to build long-term reach for your object archive.

Website chat – speak directly with visitors

Through the integrated chat, interested parties can contact you directly on the website – without detours, without email ping-pong. Ideal for questions about lots, viewings, dates, shipping, or registration. This increases service levels, allows for quicker responses, and keeps you close to your customers.

AI chat assistant – automatic responses

AI chat assistants that automatically answer customer inquiries – based on your knowledge base (e.g., processes, fees, shipping rules, viewings, participation conditions). If an inquiry is complex or requires personal clarification, it is seamlessly forwarded to your human support.

Process Management

Manage complete processes centrally – from creation to internal notes to clean documentation. Expert reports and documents are structured and archived, allowing staff to access decisions made at any time. Additionally, evaluations support auction follow-ups, and auction lists can be exported for teams, clients, or external partners.

Auctions subject to reservation

Accurately account for bids subject to reservation – including status, internal review, and approval process. This way, you can make controlled decisions about confirming a bid after the auction ends (e.g., for minimum price or client approval). The handling of bids remains traceable, and bidders receive clear information without misunderstandings.

Collective Auctions

For large inventories, collective auctions can be conveniently combined into a single procedure. Object sets are managed, filtered, and published together – including uniform rules, timelines, and evaluations. This is suitable when many items from a project, warehouse, or location need to be processed in a clear manner.

Sale of Remaining Stock

Objects without bids do not have to languish: Create a remaining stock auction with reduced prices with just a few clicks. Images, data, and history are preserved, saving you time and increasing the chances of quickly liquidating inventory. Ideal for warehouse clearances, serial items, or surplus quantities.

Single Auctions

For individual high-value items, you can create your own single auctions – with special presentation, document downloads, and focused bidding history. This makes the item feel more exclusive, increases attention, and allows you to individually control duration, minimum prices, or bidding rules.

Auction Announcements

Promote upcoming auctions early with a preview: Dates, item lists, and image lists can be presented in a structured manner. Interested parties can orient themselves in good time, build watchlists, and plan – increasing reach and bidder activity at the start.

Archiving Auctions

Automatically archive completed auctions without losing content. Optionally, archive pages can remain public – ideal for search engines, references, and long-term visibility. This creates an object archive that builds trust, reduces inquiries, and maintains lasting reach (depending on publication rules).

AI features & multilingualism

Faster, better texts – greater reach worldwide

Bluetronix can be specifically enhanced with AI features: article texts are linguistically improved, spelling and grammar are automatically corrected. Additionally, the entire auction platform can be offered in up to 24 languages – including catalogs, system texts, and navigation.

AI text optimization

Improve wording, structure content, correct spelling/grammar. Ideal for item descriptions, artist texts, background information, as well as legal information pages.

Up to 24 languages

Translate the complete platform: Navigation, catalogs, dates, news, and system texts – ideal for international bidders. Without double maintenance and without media breaks.

Your own auction app – stronger customer loyalty
