Accessing your Demo

This is a demo installation where you can feel free to explore and experiment with the various features and data. Any changes to your demo installation will not be saved to your live installation of the platform. For detailed explanations on the Circuit Auction Platform, feel free to read through our ever-growing documentation.

There are three components to the platform that are fully integrated, meaning that information flows freely between them. Bidding activity in the website and live app is reflected in the back office and the relevant information added in the back office, like the catalogue, on-behalf bids, or client bid maximums, is reflected in the website and live app.

BackOffice

Here is where the staff manage consignors and bidders, build the catalogue, enter on-behalf bids, create accounting statements, and get insight and information on all parts of the auction workflow.

Website with e-catalogue

Login as a registered client. Choose any of the online catalogues and start submitting bids.

Live App

There are four pages in the Live App, each supporting different users. You can access links to these pages from the back office Dashboard.

Choose a sale:

The applicable “Sales Links” will appear at the bottom of the Back Office Dashboard.

Sale Page (clients)

The webpage that the online users see during the live auction. Note: that ALL Live App users need to login through this Sale Page first.

Clerk Page (staff)

The webpage for the person who is actually capturing bids and reflecting the auctioneers instructions, like setting the bid to the floor or changing the next bid step.

Auctioneer Page (staff)

The webpage for the person holding the gavel and running the auction in the room. This minimalistic page only displays what the auctioneer requires to run the auction.

Room Page

This page is used to display the live sale on the monitor in the physical auction room.

To be able to see the system from different roles (staff or client) at the same time, please make sure to use separate windows for each role (one in Chrome and the other in Chrome Incognito).
