Thank you for considering BiddingOwl. Little did I know that when I started as the auction chair for a local charity years ago, I would end up helping thousands of other non-profits worldwide.

It has been quite a journey. BiddingOwl started as a necessity. Collecting items, guiding volunteers, organizing the event, and holding the auction was tedious and stressful.

The idea to find a better solution was born. Other platforms were unaffordable for our small cause. So we created our own software.

Today, we have hundreds of thousands of happy bidders and auction managers. We are proud to support you with exceptional customer service. Our platform is intuitive and provides you with all the right tools. 

I welcome you to give BiddingOwl a try. We are here to help and support you.
