Auctiqo
End-to-end auction platform: catalogues, commission bids, live bidding board, settlement, invoices, and AI catalogue copy.
The Core Challenge
Auction houses ran sales across disconnected tools — spreadsheets for catalogues, separate bidding systems, and manual settlement with invoices and payouts assembled by hand after every sale.
Engineering & Architecture
Whole-sale platform: vendors and lots feed the public catalogue, commission bids and the live bidding board share one bid state, and settlement (invoices, payouts, results emails, reports) is drafted from the same facts.
Technical Hurdles
"Keeping catalogue, bidding board, and settlement perfectly consistent in real time during a live sale, with nothing published under the auctioneer's name without explicit approval."
Outcomes
Auctioneers catalogue once and run the entire sale — catalogue, bidding, settlement, reports — from a single login.
