OnLine Ringman
Is it possible to bring the excitement of a live auction online?
Absolutely. But this can only happen with expertly crafted live audio and video technology; accurate, instantaneous information; real-time bidding; and an optimized look and feel consistent with the live experience. And it has to be backed up with accessibility from remote locations and constant monitoring of events by humans and systems.
OnLine Ringman integrates the remote audience into the onsite audience at a traditional auction. The remote bidder is able to participate in and enjoy the emotion and enthusiasm of the event from virtually anywhere.
Of course, the auctioneer must always be in control of both the live and online components of the auction, and the entire system must be integrated with the business systems of the auctioning organization.
OnLine Ringman offers these and many other capabilities that enhance the auction experience:
- Simplifies access for bidders behind enterprise firewalls
- Provides remote clerking capability
- Monitors bidder connection status and makes reconnection easier
- Allows bidders to enter mid-auction and bid immediately
- Alerts bidders to auction start on up to 20 items via chime
- Minimizes bandwidth required
- Lets clerk easily message any bidder
- Provides for instant bid change
- Offers enhanced proxy bidding functionality with auctioneer/clerk in control
- Reduces auction personnel needed to support sales
