Bid Entry – Pre-Lotted Auction — Keeping Pace with the Auctioneer

Once the auctioneer starts selling, things can move very quickly. For a pre-lotted auction, the person responsible for Bid Entry plays a pivotal role: accurately recording the results of each lot while staying focused and keeping pace with the auctioneer.

There isn’t much time to hunt through menus, change screens, or search for information. The Bid Entry clerk needs the right information and the right data-entry tools immediately available so attention can remain on what is happening on the auction floor.

That’s exactly what AuctionRPM’s Pre-Lotted Bid Entry screen is designed to provide.

In this tutorial, you’ll see how AuctionRPM helps the Bid Entry clerk work through a pre-lotted auction, recording the information associated with each sale as the auction progresses. Because the lots have already been entered and organized before the auction begins, AuctionRPM can use that existing information to help streamline the bid-entry process.

The goal is simple: make the computer work at the speed of the auction—not make the auction wait for the computer.

A well-designed Bid Entry system helps reduce unnecessary keystrokes, keeps important information readily available, and allows the clerk to concentrate on the two pieces of information that matter most when the hammer falls: Who bought it, and how much did they pay?

When the auction is moving fast, your Bid Entry clerk needs to move just as fast. AuctionRPM gives them the tools to keep up.
