Auctria

Auctria is universally beloved in the education sector. It is the absolute go-to software for elementary school PTAs, local booster clubs, and small community groups. It completely disrupted the market by offering an incredibly generous, fully functional pricing tier that small organizations can actually afford, rather than forcing them into massive enterprise contracts. The software is highly flexible. An organization can run a completely virtual online auction that lasts for two weeks, an in-person silent auction using printed paper bid sheets (which Auctria automatically generates), or a hybrid event with mobile bidding. This flexibility is critical for school PTAs where some parents want to bid on their iPhones, while older grandparents prefer writing on a piece of paper. It acts as a complete CRM for the event. A PTA volunteer can upload an Excel list of local businesses, track which volunteer is assigned to ask which business for a donation, and log the physical items (like a $50 gift card to a local bakery) as they arrive. Auctria then allows the volunteer to instantly generate printable, professional-looking display cards for the auction tables.
