Auction management software that runs the whole back office.
From cataloging and bidder registration to clerking, invoicing, and consignor settlements — Unovance Global gives you one operational backbone for every sale, on a branded platform you own.
Auction management software is the operational spine of a working auction house. It is where lots get cataloged, bidders get vetted and numbered, the hammer gets recorded, and money moves — buyer invoices out, consignor settlements paid. When that backbone is fragmented across spreadsheets and disconnected tools, every sale leaks time and introduces error into the numbers that matter most.
Unovance unifies the full lifecycle. Inventory and cataloging handle bulk lotting, condition reports, and consignor assignment. Clerking brings the floor, phone, absentee, and online bidders into a single live hammer record. Invoicing and settlements apply buyer's premium, taxes, commission, and fees automatically — including reserves and buybacks — so post-sale reconciliation is clean rather than a scramble.
Because it is built by people who know the trade, the software speaks the language of the room — house bidder numbers, consignors, reserves, settlements — and it runs on a platform you own. Your bidder base and sales history stay yours, compounding into a durable asset instead of audience you rent from a marketplace.
One back office, from catalog to settlement.
Inventory & cataloging
Build lots fast with bulk import, lotting rules, consignor assignment, and condition reporting — so a 2,000-lot sale catalogs in hours, not weeks.
Bidder & clerking control
Issue house bidder numbers, vet registrations, and clerk the room, phone, and online floor together with a single live hammer record.
Invoicing & settlements
Generate buyer invoices with premiums and taxes, then settle consignors with commission, fees, and buyback handling calculated automatically.
Reserves, buybacks & audit trail
Enforce reserves, record buybacks, and keep an immutable trail of every bid, edit, and payment for clean post-sale reconciliation.
Frequently asked questions
What does auction management software actually do?+
It is the back office for your sale. One system handles inventory and cataloging, consignor and bidder records, registration and vetting, live clerking, buyer invoicing with premiums and taxes, payment capture, and consignor settlements with commission and fees — so you are not stitching together spreadsheets, a clerk sheet, and a separate billing tool.
Who is it for?+
Auction houses and operators who have outgrown manual workflows — anyone running recurring sales with real lot volume, multiple consignors, and the need to settle accurately. It scales from a single specialist sale to a high-volume house running concurrent timed and live events.
Does it handle clerking for live and online bidders at once?+
Yes. The clerking view unifies the floor, phone, absentee, and online bidders into one hammer record, so the auctioneer and clerk see a single source of truth and there is no reconciling competing bid logs after the sale.
Why does ownership matter here?+
On Unovance your bidder data, consignor relationships, and sales history live in your platform under your brand — not a marketplace you rent. That means the operational record you build over hundreds of sales compounds into an asset you control, instead of audience and data a third party keeps.
