BidJs

Vorteile

Great software! We used this software to test if auctions would be a valuable addition to our core business (machinery trading). Since we did not want to build our own auction software, we looked for an existing solution that could be easily and readily implemented and eventually decided to go with bid.js - the online bidding platform from Bidlogix. In my opinion, Bid.js has many advantages over its competitors. The most important ones, in my opinion, are:

- The software is embedded on your own website, as opposed to the subdomain approach chosen by most competitors.
- Pricing is fixed and not tied to the turnover you generate from the auctions, unlike the pricing model from most competitors I looked at.
- In combination with Weglot, it allows you to easily translate the content into multiple languages.

Other features that I really like (though I don't know if they differ significantly from the competition, as I did not delve deeply into the other providers):
- The design of the platform is highly customizable, so you can completely adjust it to match your corporate branding.
- It supports all the necessary online auction functionalities, such as bidding extensions, auto-bidding, etc.
- Last but not least, the support is very quick and helpful.

Nachteile

Webhook notifications is something that could be improved and that would add value for us because we could automate certain workflows based on this.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu BidJs

Vorteile

BidJs is extremely user friendly and easy to use, It is a very reliable system and did not let me down once during an auction. The support is top rated and the friendliness of the staff is brilliant. They get back to you timeously and do their best to assist. he system is also very easy for our bidders to use.

Nachteile

That it is not very flexible - there are some features we need that is important to us, but because not too many requests similar to ours were received, they will not look at implementing it.

Vorteile

Easy to Use
Price is Ideal
Easy Integration
Has API to inter-grate into your back house
Great support
Looks like they are trying to improve system

Nachteile

Interface is not modern or new.
Lack of access to change and control user info
Lack of ability to enter phone or email bids into system
Autobid NEEDs to follow bid increment !! if autobid 62 dollars and next bid increment is 60 dollars it just bids 60 dollars and 2 dollars doesn't get used because can't make proper bid increment.
Api needs ability to control all aspects of system (needs ability to add bids to lot ,etc)
Sign up should be able to customize and easy remove fields.
Sign up we find difficult for users.
If you change time or settings for staggered closing - should auto adjust instead of removing lots and adding them back in.

Vorteile

Easy to use, monthly payment, good support

Nachteile

Would like to be able to attach an exel listing

Vorteile

Very user friendly and easy to upload an auction. Would recommend to anybody in the auction industry to use the Biglogix platform. The support platform / website which available really helps if one has a query that needs to be answered soon!

Nachteile

If we had to comment, it would merely be with regards to the close of an auction i.e. the reconciliation and creating vendor statements. This programme basically only caters for the buyer and not really for the Vendor/ Seller – and that does create a bit of difficulties when create statements and pay-outs to Sellers/Vendors.

Vorteile

Very fast and straight forward to implement.

Nachteile

The back-office system is a little old. However, I know this is being upgraded.

Vorteile

Since implementing this platform on our site, our customer base has grown exponentially.

Nachteile

upload times during lot creation. Photos and files take a long time to upload and save, also changing page views / filters takes a really long time.

Vorteile

The staff at BidJs have been extremely helpful and friendly throughout the entire setup process and the following couple of weeks. The system is easy to use and works well with our website. Customers find it easy to follow and bid.

Nachteile

I could do with an integrated postage option on my auctions, and have had some teething issues with AuctionPay. Nothing really to write home about though.

Vorteile

EASE OF USE,EASY TO USE ONCE DONE ONE LISTING. GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY

Nachteile

COULD BE SIMPLER FOR UPLOADING PCITURES WITHOUT HAVING TO RENAME

Vorteile

This software is so easy to use! I love the way I'm able to easily keep track of auctions that are approaching and can easily identify which auctions need more marketing attention than others. It's visual design is very user friendly.

Nachteile

I integrate the software with Mailchimp, the integration was a bit bumpy at first but now works so smoothly and I couldn't be more happy with the product.

Vorteile

The back end management and options for featuring products Both visually as well as copy

Nachteile

The customer registration is far too cumbersome for our customer base. Too many steps and a bit complicated for the non savvy user. All we really need is their email for billing purposes and that’s all I want them to be required to give. I’m ok with validating the email through an email sent to them but do not need mailing address, phone etc. Also, after validating, it should take them right to the auction page and they should be able to bid and be signed in already. Having to check the box and go back to that process again loses some of them and I’ve been told by many customers they just simply couldn’t get in. I also think it has to do with user name and password. So if the email is the username/password it will make it all that much more easier. The price of the items we are auctioning is not excessive therefore our exposure is not that large if we happen to get an email that is not good. I’m willing to take that risk.

Vorteile

It's reliable and the design of the lot catalogue.

Nachteile

Not enough customization. The interaction with BidJS and the homepage are limited.
Lot descriptions missing features to interact like in wavebid.

Vorteile

The Visuals while running auctions is great and is very easy to use, searching for things can be easy, Dashboard is easy to use, and support is great when needed.

Nachteile

Not enough reporting functionalityRemoval of bids is terrible and time consumingthe automatic cancelling of bids by the system is incorrect and shouldnt happen as it costs us as a company money when removing bids.

Vorteile

Great Customer Support and administrative controls.

Nachteile

The photo Browser from a user perspective is not good, they need a better gallery to view images.

Vorteile

Me gusta ya que estas subasta puedes programarla con un limite de tiempo es de tiempo, La opción de balanzas de medida me es muy útil ya que así puedo realizar mas de 1 o 200 subastas en cada dia es multi lenguaje por lo bien el cliente que vea una subasta va a estar bien ya que la herramienta se adapta a sus necesidades.

Nachteile

Actualmente no le encuentro pegas a ael producto asi estoy muy comodo la herramienta es muy versatil por lo cual apuesta a por ella.

Vorteile

The software sits seamlessly on our website as it was styled taking into consideration our brand guidelines. The team at BidJS were very helpful as were the step-by-step guides for installing.

Nachteile

Nothing immediately springs to mind, any smaller issues (me needing assistance, rather than an actual problem) have been resolved quickly and efficiently by the BidJS team.

Vorteile

I like that you can read what each bottom says, specially as there are so many, so I don't have to guess what each icon means while clicking.

Nachteile

My colleagues in Finance says it can be faster but I don't use the financial part of raising invoices. I only upload material for the auctions.

Vorteile

Has most features for that you would find on software that is bespoke, easy to use and most importantly the data you generate from sales is yours.

Nachteile

Would be nice if the product automatically updated without need for bringing in programmers to modify website.

Vorteile

it's very easy to use, to navigate and to make any amendments when needed for customers

Features like data exporting and account registration could be improved
