Platform Overview — AuctionFlow

Platform

One platform. Every auction format.

AuctionFlow is a composable auction operating system. Pick the modules you need, configure them to your rules, and extend with our APIs — whether you run 10 lots a month or 10,000.

Architecture

Six layers. One unified system.

Every module is independently deployable and horizontally scalable, yet they all share a single event bus, data model, and security layer.

Bidding Engine

Real-time bid processing across English, Dutch, sealed-bid, and Japanese formats with sub-100ms latency and automatic bid validation.

Lot Management

Catalog, schedule, and organize lots across single-item, bulk, and multi-parcel auctions with rich media support and condition grading.

Settlement

Automated invoicing, escrow, buyer premium calculations, and multi-currency settlement with PCI-compliant payment processing.

White-Label

Fully brandable auction experiences with custom domains, theming, and email templates so every touchpoint feels like your own.

APIs & Webhooks

RESTful and WebSocket APIs covering every auction lifecycle event, plus configurable webhooks for real-time system integration.

AI Copilot

Intelligent lot descriptions, reserve price suggestions, bidder engagement scoring, and predictive sell-through analytics.

Composability

Your rules. Your platform. Your way.

Whether you need an out-of-the-box solution or a fully custom auction experience, AuctionFlow adapts to your level of control.
