BidHarvest®: The Unified Solution Auctioneers Have Been Waiting For
From intake to collection, BidHarvest® tackles the common frustrations auctioneers face.
Solving
Auctioneers Pain Points Before, During and After the Auction Auctioneers across the plant, machinery, salvage and vehicle sectors are no strangers to operational headaches. Clunky workflows. Manual paperwork. Systems that don’t speak to each other. Long days chasing data and dealing with bidder questions. It all slows teams down and eats into profitability.
BidHarvest® is the unified auction platform built to solve those issues at source. Purpose-built for nontechnical teams, it streamlines every step, from yard consignment to documented collections.
Complex Consignment Workflows Eat Time
The Fix: Easily create master consignments and add multiple item lines in seconds, then use a phone or tablet to snap photos, take video, input specs and print window stickers. No double entry. No spreadsheets. Consignments sync straight to the live platform when approved, perfect for lotting as items arrive in the yard or for those all-important last minute packages.
The Outcome: Lotting in minutes, not hours. Less bottlenecks. More opportunity to turn stock around for your vendors.
Matching Imagery to Items? - Not a problem
The Fix: It’s important to get lots of photos for each lot, with online bidding, buyers really need to see what they are buying. BidHarvest’s QR based media upload empowers your team to go into the yard and do volume photography linked directly to consignment lines or lots instantly. No more matching or renaming images to items. It’s all automated!
The Outcome: Quality, detailed item photography, better bidding opportunities and less hassle for your team.
Is Auction Admin a Headache?
The Fix: No more manual paperwork or building out documents from spreadsheets and multiple data sources. BidHarvest® lets you generate all of your auction
paperwork, from consignor contract to pass out and collection notices and everything in between.
The Outcome: Fast deployment of paperwork plus a portal for your sellers and buyers to see everything 24/7/365.
Flexibility to Run The Auctions You Want

When margins are tight and pressure is growing, cash flow becomes the lifeline keeping a business afloat.
For companies with surplus or under-used assets, an auction can offer a fast, controlled route to unlocking capital when it’s needed most — whether to satisfy creditors, meet payroll or stabilise day-to-day operations.
Company liquidation specialist Shaun Barton of Company
Closure explains how asset auctions can provide immediate liquidity, and why speed is often the deciding factor during financial strain.
A Need for Speed
In a cash flow crisis, converting assets into money quickly becomes more important than holding out for the perfect price. Private sales can take months as you advertise, negotiate and wait for payment — time most struggling businesses don’t have.
Asset auctions compress this process into weeks. Established buyer networks, competitive bidding and clear payment terms make auctions an efficient route to market, delivering funds far faster than traditional sales.
Balancing Costs With Outcomes
Auctions prioritise speed, which means fees apply and assets rarely achieve full retail value. But the hidden costs of waiting can be far higher:
• Time: Delays can intensify creditor pressure or risk legal action.
• Opportunities: Immediate funds can secure better repayment terms, supplier discounts or investment into revenue-generating areas.
• Self-management: Handling your own sales drains time and focus from running the business.
When speed and certainty are considered, auctions often provide the best overall return.
Using Asset Sales to Support Recovery
Asset sales work best as part of a wider strategy to regain control of finances:
• They show good faith to creditors
• They can fund turnaround measures
• They support formal arrangements such as a CVA
• And if rescue isn’t viable, they help secure orderly liquidation with maximum value recovered
Act Early — Don’t Wait for the Pressure Point
The strongest results come when auctions are arranged before creditor pressure peaks. Early action means better timing, proper preparation and realistic reserves. If a winding-up petition has already been issued, options narrow — but fast action can still avoid a fire sale.
If you’re considering an auction, start by:
• Auditing assets
• Getting valuations
• Working out how much cash you need
• Seeking insolvency advice if needed
• Choosing an experienced auction partner
A Practical Route to Breathing Space
An auction won’t fix underlying financial issues, but it can unlock capital quickly and create vital breathing room — whether for negotiations, a turnaround plan or an orderly wind-down. When cash flow is under strain, acting early and choosing the right partner can make all the difference.
