Auctioneer software: online bidding, registrations & lots
Auctioneers: every bidder registered, every lot settled. Catalogues, bidding and settlement in one.
Catalogues built in Word, bidders registered on paper and settlement worked out in spreadsheets. We build auction systems that run online and live sales from one catalogue.
Looking for online auction software for an auction house?
Auction houses need catalogues, bidder registration, live and online bidding, invoicing and vendor settlement. Off-the-shelf platforms take a cut and limit your brand. We build your own.
Wollopit builds portals, listing tools, interactive maps and websites for auctioneers around how your business actually runs. We connect the property platforms you already use, replace the bits holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers, so your team can get back to deals and clients.

Software, websites and systems for auctioneers.
Whether you're starting fresh or upgrading what you've got, it's one team from the first sketch to the support call.
Custom software for auctioneers
Built around how your auction house actually runs: lot catalogue, online bidding and the admin in between, in one system you own.
Websites for auctioneers
Fast, hand-built websites that rank for the searches your customers make and turn visits into enquiries, bookings or orders.
Auction house system upgrades
Running on spreadsheets, old software or a platform you've outgrown? We move your data across and upgrade in stages so the business never stops.

06How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your auction house: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
07Questions
FAQ
Things auctioneers ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can it run timed online auctions?
Yes. Timed auctions with soft close, reserve prices and bid increments can run alongside live sales.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your auction house. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
Can it work with our existing property software?
Usually, yes. We connect to the platforms you rely on and build what they can't do on top. If something should go we'll explain why before anything changes.
Can clients log in and see their own information?
Yes. Owners, tenants, buyers or investors can each get their own secure portal with the documents, updates and numbers that matter to them.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most auctioneers we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
