Auction Simplified is an automotive auction platform designed to enable dealers, auction houses, and towing companies to run fully digital or hybrid vehicle auctions under their own control, without relying on third-party marketplaces. It supports multiple auction formats, including open bid, silent bid, traditional lane sales, simulcast auctions with HD video, and “buy it now” or offer-based sales, allowing businesses to tailor auction styles to their operational needs. It provides a complete operational toolkit that covers inventory management, VIN scanning, condition report creation, photo and video uploads, bidder registration, invoicing, cashiering, and reporting, all accessible through a centralized interface and mobile applications. It integrates with vehicle management systems and towing software, enabling seamless data transfer so inventory, descriptions, and photos can be reused without duplication.
