MerxBids™ — The #1 Auction Management System
Efficiency + Scalability = Growth. MerxBids.
Our white-label, end-to-end auction management platform. Your bidders, consignors, and team — unified in one robust system with your brand on it.
Capabilities
Personalized brand & domain CORE
Your auction platform runs on your own domain, with your brand on it. If your auction house is called BidWorthi, your auction platform would be at BidWorthi.com, and it’d have the BidWorthi logo and colors throughout.
Real-time bidding CORE
Our Lightspeed™ bidding algorithm is one of the fastest on the market. And yes, its soft close threshold and interval, reset type and timing, and close group can be modified at your convenience.
Lot & consignor management CORE
Manage hundreds of thousands of consignors and millions of lots in one comprehensive system. Automatically add and effortlessly manage seller commissions, buyer’s premiums, listing fees, minimum commissions across bidder invoices and consignor settlement statements.
Pick-up management CORE
Using physically printed invoices is a tried and true way of conducting pickup, and we support that as well! If you prefer to not spend on paper and are tired of handling all the physical documents, you may want to consider using our mobile app for managing pickup: whether that be pre-lotting, invoice lookup, or collecting signatures.
Employee roles CORE
Your employees are your greatest asset. Assign them roles—location admin, manager, employee—to make sure they have the access they need to work efficiently.
iOS & Android listing app CORE
The MerxBids™ Assistant mobile app was designed to make the listing process as smooth as possible. It’s available for download in both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Integrated payment processing CORE
Your own merchant account seamlessly integrated. Charge credit/debit cards, send refunds directly without having to separately log in to your merchant account every time.
Managed stack CORE
We host and manage your stack, all included in your monthly licensing fee. No additional administrative effort, no hidden hosting fees.
No-hassle setup CORE
Just give us the go-ahead, and we’ll have your custom stack up and running within a week!
Custom modern UI UNIQUE TO MERX
Tired of the early 2000s look and laggy interface? Our technology runs on a cutting-edge architecture: modern, clean, and smooth as silk.
Advanced invoicing & settlements UNIQUE TO MERX
Change seller commissions, buyer’s premiums, tax rates, listing fees, and hammer prices—and add adjustments and refunds—across invoices and settlement statements. Invoices and settlement statements track your changes and remain consistent at all times, making sure no payments go unnoticed.
Multiple locations UNIQUE TO MERX
Looking to open another location—or compartmentalize your current location—without having to set up a separate system? Just add another location with the click of a button: same site, same bidders, all under one admin login with separate employee management, auction and lot management, payment processing, etc.
Global reporting UNIQUE TO MERX
Track how much sales tax you owe. Track how many new bidders sign up. Track how many lots you process and how many auctions you run.
100% mobile friendly UNIQUE TO MERX
Mobile friendly across the board—bidder side and admin side.
Automation modules
UNIQUE TO MERX
Having a functioning system is just the start. Having a system that can also automate tasks is state-of-the-art.
We take pride in developing additional tools that can save you time and make you money. See below for some of the top modules we’ve custom built and natively integrated.
The #1 Auction Management System
MerxBids™
End-to-end auction management system
MerxBids™ is the white-label solution that lets bidders bid, consignors consign, and auction houses manage them both in one scalable system.
Automation Modules
Native tools to make your processes even more efficient.
MerxBids™ software comes with all core functionalities you need to run an auction house. You can activate additional modules on a pay-per-use basis to optimize your operations.
Offer Integrated Shipping to Reach More Bidders
Shipping
There are hundreds of local bidders, but there are millions nationwide. By offering shipping, you capture interest out-of-state as well, who are happy to pay for shipping and handling.
The issue with offering shipping is that it comes with complications: like needing a ship management system. Luckily, MerxBids™ comes with this functionality, and it even automates the invoicing of shipping and handling charges.
Automatically Notify Bidders of New Auctions
Auction houses have hundreds and thousands of bidders. Anytime you launch a new auction, these bidders are eager to check it out.
Sending out mass e-mails to bidder mailing lists is tedious. MerxBids™ automatically notifies bidders not only when you launch an auction, but also when that auction is about to end, and even when a bidder has been outbid on a particular lot.
Allow Others to Sell on Your Platform
Seller Managed
As an auction house, you work hard to make a name for yourself and attract buyers. Your bidders shop with you because they know you and your site.
The problem is, if you’re not running on your own branded platform, your avenues for growth are limited. In addition to managing consignors, MerxBids™ allows for something we call “seller managed” sales: You make passive commissions on simply allowing others to use your infrastructure to sell items of their own, from their own location, at their own pace.
Enhance Lot Images for More Professional Listings
Background Removal
All auction houses take photos for their listings, and some photos turn out better than others. Clean, high-quality photos grab bidders’ attention.
Making sure photos are up to par and their style is consistent across listings requires exorbitant attention to detail. Auction houses often times choose to white or black out lot cover image backgrounds, and MerxBids™ knocks out this task for hundreds of images as once with nothing more than the click of a button.
