Mobile bidding packages
First class service paired with innovative technology. Increase auction revenue and improve the event experience for your donors with our auction software for nonprofits.
Mobile Bidding Packages
Fun, intuitive, and accessible from anywhere.
In 1989, Auction & Event Solutions revolutionized the charity auction experience by introducing computerized bidding for silent auctions. We innovated once more in 2007 with our use of wireless touchscreen bidding tablets, and again in 2010 as the first company to offer smartphone bidding. Now we’re ready to do it again, with a fresh new interface that maintains the same look and feel across any device. Our online auction software for nonprofits is designed by event managers with over 15 years of real-world experience.
AES Mobile Bidding Packages Include:
Online auctions
Open bidding days or even weeks before your event to generate excitement and reach a broader audience. Our online auction software for nonprofits works with your unique event’s timeline.
Dedicated tablets
Donors of all technical abilities will love the large 10” screen size and personal touch provided by trained auction assistants. Tablets can be configured as either silent auction or instant-pay merchandise kiosks. Place them on your auction tables, dinner tables, or in the hands of roaming volunteers for maximum impact.

“After trying two other auction companies, we have found AES to be the auction service company of our choice. They give our guests a smooth and professional experience at our fundraisers. The AES team is always happy to help us along the way and during the event, they keep the auction running smoothly. We have used their paper and electronic systems and both have been hugely successful. Our guests are presented with an itemized receipt at the end of the night and they enjoy a seamless checkout process. AES comes with a team of fundraising professionals and they uphold the same high expectations for their team as we do for ours. We think they are the best!”
