Setup
Why we are different
More than clerking software.
Your sale floor, consignors, catalog, and follow-up, all in one system.
Consignors
Seller portal
Consignors get their own login to see their lots, what sold, the hammer price, and their settlement: commission, fees, net, and whether the check is paid. They can also send you items to review, with up to five photos.
Listing
Item image recognition
Snap a photo while listing, and BidSail suggests a title, a short description, and a category from your list. You review it before it's saved. Barcode lookup works too.
Promotion
Promotional tools
Your catalog becomes your promotion. In a click you get emails, newsletters, weekly digests, Facebook, X, and Instagram posts, and a printable flyer. Remind checked-in bidders, or win back quiet online bidders, with items closing soon, a last call, or a pickup reminder. There's even a ready-made graphic for inviting new consignors.
On the phone
Bidder app and notifications
Bidders save your catalog to their phone's home screen and use it like an app, with alerts when they're outbid or win. You can also email short notices to your buyer list.
One system
All in one
Check-in, clerking, cashiering, seller pay, and reports, all tied to your photos and promotion. Add online auctions to get the public catalog, seller portal, and bidder alerts. One auction, from the door to the check.
