Webtron Pre-Bid Auction Software is designed specifically for auctioneers who run live webcast auctions. It gives bidders the ability to place bids on lots before the live auction officially begins, ensuring more engagement and interest ahead of time. By allowing pre-bidding, auctioneers can generate momentum and bidders can secure early positions, creating a more competitive environment once the auction goes live.

With Webtron’s pre-bid functionality, lots can be opened for bidding online well before the scheduled auction date. Registered bidders can browse upcoming items, review details, and submit their pre-bids at any time. Once the auction goes live, all pre-bids are carried forward seamlessly into the webcast auction. During the live auction itself, bidders can also place commission bids on upcoming lots, giving them the flexibility to stay active in the auction even if they are unable to follow it in real time.

Pre-bidding gives auctioneers the ability to build interest and activity before the live webcast begins, often leading to higher participation and stronger final sale prices. It also enhances bidder convenience, as participants can place bids ahead of time or set commission bids during the live event, without needing to monitor every moment. For auctioneers, this means more efficient management of bidder activity, increased competition, and ultimately, greater returns.

Webtron’s pre-bid system is intuitive and fully integrated with the live webcast platform. Bidders can submit pre-bids on upcoming lots, set commission bids during live auctions, and track their bidding history all in one place. The platform updates automatically as auctions progress, ensuring transparency and accuracy throughout the process. For auctioneers, detailed reporting and easy-to-manage controls make it simple to track pre-bidding activity, manage commission bids, and optimise auction outcomes.
