Advantages
The Bidpath solution allows auction companies to build their brand to differentiate themselves
from the competition. Unlike other solutions, Bidpath is fully integrated and private-labeled so the
auction company remains the focus of the event, not the provider of the webcast service.
The webcast bidding software is web based and can be used in most browsers and operating
system. Mobile bidding is also available and can be accessed from most devices including
iPhone, iPad, Blackberry, and Android devices. High quality audio and video is available on most
platforms. Features that auctioneers require such as choice and privilege, quantity lots, edit/add
lots during the auction, two-way chat, and many more are part of this solution. Bidpath offers
unparalleled client and customer service and support before, during and after the auction event.
With over 50 years of combined experience in the auction industry, the Bidpath team understands
the power of the auctioneer’s brand and respect the reputation the auction company has built.
Bidpath endeavors to be the auction company’s “behind-the-scenes” webcast service. This
keeps the auctioneer first and foremost in their customers mind – not the webcast service
provider.
Bidpath understands that not all events are suited to a percentage fee surcharge, and therefore
offers a flexible structure that includes a percentage based, or flat fee option. If you have
