AuctionBase
Features and
Benefits
AuctionBase
auction
management
software offers
an easier way to
manage benefit
auctions.
It provides you
with an
easy-to-use set
of tools for
managing every
aspect of your
auction, whether
it be a large
event or a small
one.
Event Manager
Each event you
hold will
probably consist
of many
different
auction sales.
For example, you
might have a
live auction and
multiple silent
auction
closings. In
addition, you
may also have buy-in
items, raffle
tickets to sell,
and any number of
other
fundraising
games taking
place. AuctionBase lets
you define each
of these as
separate sales,
each with their
own default
settings, making
packaging and
data entry much
easier.

Great Event
Day Tools
With AuctionBase
event tools,
data entry and
guest checkout
are quick and
simple. Both
jobs can be done
on any number of
networked PCs,
allowing
multiple people
to do data entry
and provide
checkout
services at
once.

Financial
Manager
Whether you are
part of a small
group hoping to
make a few
thousand
dollars, or a
large group
expecting to
make hundreds of
thousands, you
need to keep an
accurate
accounting of
your income and
expenses.
AuctionBase lets
you define a
budget for your
event, including
categories for
different types
of expenses and
income sources.
Then, as you
progress to your
event, record
your income and
expense
transactions in
a simple
checkbook like
register.
You'll always
know where your
money is coming
from and where
it's going.

Contacts
Manager
Your event runs
on its people.
Whether these
are your
staff, donors,
event attendees,
or business
contacts,
AuctionBase
makes it easy to
keep track of
all the people
that make your
event possible.

Donations
Manager
Donations
are central to
the success of
your event, and
there can be a
lot of them.
AuctionBase has
tools to help
you keep track
of your
donations, their
value, and where
they are. In
addition, you
can print
donation
receipts
customized to
your event, and
gift
certificates for
donations that
need one, but didn't
come with their
own.
AuctionBase also
lets you easily
copy donations
from past
events, saving
you from
repetitive data
entry.

Packaging
Manager
Item packaging
can be a lot of
work.
With AuctionBase, sifting
through
donations to
create packages
has
never been
simpler.
Donations are
presented sorted
by special
project and item
category, making
location of
specific items
easy. With our
Auto-Init
feature, just
add donations to
a package, click
one button, and
have the initial
package title,
description,
conditions of
use, and catalog
credits all
filled in for
you.

Ticket Sales
and Event
Seating Manager
AuctionBase can
help you keep
track of who is
coming to your
event, what kind
of ticket they
purchased, who they
want to sit
with, and
what they want
to eat. Bidder numbers
can even be assigned
automatically.

Customizable
Reports One of
AuctionBase's
most powerful
features is its
configurable
reports. Of
course, the most
common reports
you'll want are
already defined
for you, but
whether
reporting on
donations,
packages,
finances, staff,
seating, or any
of your other
data,
AuctionBase
allows you to
view your data
exactly how you
want.

Easy Document
Management When getting
ready for your
event, one of
the biggest jobs
is printing all
the documents
you need.
AuctionBase puts
these documents
at your
fingertips,
formatted, and
ready to print.
These
include Bid
Sheets, Catalog
Listings, Proxy
Bid Forms,
Package
Displays,
Package Labels,
Registration
Labels, and
Auctioneer
Notes.

Letters and
Mailing Lists AuctionBase
lets you filter
your contacts to
just the group
of people you
want, then write
a template
letter that will
be customized
with each one's
name,
address,
salutation, and
other contact
information.
Best yet,
AuctionBase
creates letters
in an RTF
format, so you
can use text
formatting like
colors,
different fonts,
and different
justifications
to give your
letters flair.
