One Platform. Every Lot. From Excavator to Harvester. BidHarvest ®

Why forward-thinking plant and agricultural auctioneers are ditching disconnected systems for a single, unified way to run their entire sale, and bringing years of trading history with them.

Ask any plant or agri auctioneer where their week goes and you’ll hear the same answer: admin. Re-keying vendor data into one system, lotting in another, chasing payments through a third, then reconciling it all by hand. Every disconnected tool is another place for errors to creep in, another login, another delay between the gavel falling and the money landing.

That fragmentation is exactly what BidHarvest® was built to solve. Created by a team with more than 20 years in the auction industry, it brings the back office, the bidding, the website and the client into one cloud-based platform, so the same lot information flows from inventory creation to settlement without anyone typing it twice.

Built for how plant and agri sales actually run

Heavy equipment and rural auctions have their own rhythm, fleet disposals, mixed-lot farm dispersals, everything from a single mini-digger to a yard of harvesters and livestock trailers. BidHarvest® handles timed, live AV, hybrid and marketplace formats out of the box and manages sellers digitally from consignment through to auto-generated receipts, cutting the paperwork that eats into margin on every sale.

Wider buyer reach, fewer non-payers

Timed online bidding widens your buyer pool well beyond who can physically attend. Buyers get a simple sign-up with built-in ID checks, so you’re AML/KYC-ready from day one, while payment routes including Stripe, WorldPay and Opayo take deposits and settlements securely and reconcile them automatically.

Your brand, your website, your data

BidHarvest® is private-label: the public-facing auction site carries your logo, your colours and your imagery, with no code required. But the real advantage sits behind the shop window, in what the platform tells you about your own business. Every sale generates data, most systems waste it. BidHarvest® turns it into live reporting you can act on, surfacing the trends that move hammer prices and margin.

What can your data tell you?

• New bidder & seller acquisition.
  How many fresh buyers and vendors each sale or marketing channel brings in and which keep coming back.

• Lifetime value.
  What each buyer and seller is worth across every sale they touch, not just one transaction.

• Under-bidder insight.
  Who pushed a lot and stopped just short, proves demand to match against similar stock next time.

• Reserve-level performance.
  Which reserves are choking bidding, which clear comfortably and where you’re leaving money on the table.

• Lot & category trends.
  Sell-through, average prices and demand by category over time, so you can tell a vendor what their kit will really make and inform your business getters on what to target.

Because it’s all one platform, these aren’t reports you stitch together after the fact, they update as the sale runs. Add Xero integration and a documented API and the same data flows into your finance, CRM or ERP tools with no rekeying and no vendor lock-in.

Replatforming? Bring your history with you

The fear that keeps established auctioneers on tired software isn’t the new system, it’s losing everything the old one holds. Years of bidder records, vendor relationships and sale results are your most valuable asset, and most migrations quietly leave them behind, resetting you to zero on day one.

BidHarvest’s onboarding is built the opposite way. A specialist audit maps your legacy bidder, vendor, lot and sale data and migrates it as part of go-live, not as an afterthought. So the analytics aren’t empty when you launch, they’re already populated with your trading history.

The payoff is immediate. From your very first sale you can see returning buyers flagged, lifetime values calculated across years of prior activity, under-bidders matched to live stock, and reserve and category trends drawn from real history rather than a blank slate. You’re not starting again; you’re picking up with richer insight than your old system ever gave you.

A guided demo and clear pricing come first, then a private sandbox where your migrated history is loaded and tested before you go live and for most established operations the switch is complete in weeks, not months, with the back catalogue intact.

“Don’t start from zero. Replatform with years of bidder and sale history already working for you from day one.”
