About Unovance Global

Built by auction people. Engineered by technology experts. Unified as Unovance Global.

Unovance Global brings together auction experience, software engineering, marketplace knowledge, AI innovation, and private-label ownership into one powerful company.

Our Story

Auction Techs and AuctionEXT now operate under the Unovance Global brand, combining decades of auction industry knowledge with advanced technology development. The company's roots stretch back to Equipmentfacts in 2000 — one of the first major online auction marketplaces for equipment and trucks — which gave the founding team an early, ground-level understanding of how online auctions actually work.

That real-world experience became the foundation of Auction Techs, launched in 2020 to give auctioneers white-label software with real support. AuctionEXT followed in 2021, building the next layer: private-label architecture, AI bidder tools, blockchain-backed data, and scalable platform engineering. In 2025, Unovance introduced the industry's first true private-label auction platform. In 2026, both companies unified under Unovance Global.

Why Auction Experience Matters

We were built by people who lived inside the auction business.

Most auction software companies are built by engineers who learned the industry from the outside. The Unovance founding team understands house bidder numbers, buybacks, reserves, clerking workflows, consignor management, settlement reports, and catalog structure — not from documentation, but from experience.
