Easy to use, great help guides, great polished website/user experience for bidders, great reporting functionality

Very user friendly and simple to organize all of the items and donations. Also easy to collect payment at the end of the night. Very easy to customize for how our event runs.

We have been using SchoolAuction for six or seven years, and we love it! We did everything manually before, and it was a total nightmare. SchoolAuction is an online platform that was created to be self-taught and user-friendly. There is a help widget on every page with access to support documents and videos. On the auction side: It's easy to track items, make lots, print bid sheets & signs, send donor thank yous, etc. It has everything you need, including the option of hosting online auctions and mobile bidding. On the ticket sales side: It's easy to set up sponsor packets, create linked accounts (with one bidder number), track unassigned tickets, etc. Guests vault a credit card during the self-check-in process. During the event, all sales are tracked with bidder numbers; at the end of the event, everyone who made a purchase is sent a self-check-out payment link, and they can settle their account using their phone. It makes things so easy! I'll be forever grateful to this software for saving us from the nightmare check-out lines we used to have at the end of an event. Since cards are vaulted, processing payments after the event for anyone who didn't do it themselves is also easy. The landing page is simple for our guests to navigate, and the catalog page allows them to get a sneak peek of the auction items. I also appreciate that they have other platform names which are more appropriate if you aren't a school. Our platform is called Tofino, but it's the same product. Another fantastic feature is that they allow access to all your databases of past events. I have found this to be very helpful. Every year I find myself looking back at one thing or another. You can also migrate your data yearly, so you don't have to start from scratch when creating a new event. After the event, there are reports which can be generated to see all sales.
