The Modern Auctioneer
John, a traditional auctioneer, had spent decades specializing in open-outcry auctions of farm equipment within a large rural territory. Over the years, he had built a reputation for his expertise and local knowledge. However, as technology advanced, large national auction companies with online auction capabilities started entering the market and taking his clients.
Recognizing that he needed to adapt to stay competitive, John decided to make the transition to internet-only auction sales. Having little experience with computers or modern technology, he was initially hesitant. However, he discovered the StableBid system by AuctionMethod, which offered an affordable and user-friendly solution for his business.
Transitioning to online auctions was a daunting task, but the team at AuctionMethod has been incredibly supportive every step of the way. Their patience, expertise, and friendly approach made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. I couldn't have asked for a better partner to help me navigate this new chapter in my business.
John found the sales and support staff at AuctionMethod to be extremely friendly and helpful, guiding him through every step of setting up his new online auction platform. With their assistance, he was able to get up and running quickly, learning how to manage his auction sales using the StableBid software.
As John transitioned to internet-only auction sales, he saw his business start to thrive once again. The online platform allowed him to reach a much larger audience, attracting bidders from beyond his local territory. Additionally, he could now manage more auction sales in a month than he could in a year previously, significantly boosting his revenue.
Thanks to the StableBid system and the supportive team at AuctionMethod, John successfully adapted his traditional auction business to the modern era, ensuring its continued growth and success in the face of changing market dynamics.
Dealer Auto Auctions
AcmeAuctionPro (not their real name), a dealer-to-dealer car auctioneer, was looking for a way to streamline their B2B operations and create a user-friendly experience for their clients. They chose the AdaptaBid system by AuctionMethod as the foundation for their auction platform.
With minimal modifications to the software, AcmeAuctionPro was able to quickly and efficiently build their B2B auction platform, leveraging the core features of AdaptaBid.

They worked with AuctionMethod's software development service to create an entirely new API-first headless offer system for the auto industry. The project involved designing and building web and mobile applications from the ground up, with AuctionMethod's team providing expertise in project design, execution, and management.
The result was a groundbreaking solution that transformed the way auto dealers buy and sell vehicles within the industry. By using the AdaptaBid system and partnering with AuctionMethod's software development service, AcmeAuctionPro successfully established itself as a leading B2B car auctioneer, providing innovative and efficient solutions to auto dealers across the country.
