ReadySetAuction overview

What is ReadySetAuction?

ReadySetAuction is a fully web-based auction software that empowers staff and volunteers of non-profit organizations to run silent, live, mobile, online fundraiser auctions cost effectively, themselves.

The software has been designed for use by non-profit organizations of any size, in any sector, looking to use auctions as a fundraising channel. ReadySetAuction helps staff and volunteers of non-profit organizations - including schools & universities, faith-based groups, sports teams, humanitarian organizations, animal welfare societies, and workplace giving campaigns - to become fundraising auctioneers with no previous experience.

Alongside auction management capabilities, ReadySetAuction includes features for donation and attendee tracking, catalog printing, sponsorship management, fundraising goal tracking, table assignment and meal choice management, mobile bidding, multiple auction check-out options, and email receipts.

ReadySetAuction has so far helped to raise over $250 million hosting silent, live, mobile, and online fundraiser auctions.

Key benefits of using ReadySetAuction

  • Up to 50 committee staff members can be added to the staff roster, and invited to set up individual accounts, with administrators able to control each user's access to the ReadySetAuction Control Center.

  • Auction guests can choose from three bidding strategies: standard bidding, robot-assisted bidding, and "win-it-now" bidding, and are immediately notified if they've been outbid (or won) with color-coded icons, email, or SMS text message.

  • With ReadySetAuction's JumpStart packages, an organization pays for the package only after the auction is completed and the money has been collected from the winning bidder. If the package isn't sold, the organization doesn’t pay for it.

  • Guest credit card information can be captured and stored securely at check-in so that at the end of an auction, guests can simply collect their winnings and leave. Their cards will be charged by the non-profit committee after the event.

  • Depending on set preferences, ReadySetAuction can automatically email bidders their receipts - which include the organization’s tax ID and a list of won / purchased items, their price, and their value - saving time, money, and paper.

    This was one of the big factors when we looked at auction software. If we couldn't have the information captured feed into our CRM there was no point. That being said, the communications are only one way. When you setup the transfer of information into DP, you pick all the merge fields, and then send the information. There's not a back and forth between services that I've ever seen.
