For business & Webshops
What's the essence?
Instead of bombarding your customers with flashing offers highlighting super discounted listing prices and pushing them to collect coupons for price discount leaving a garbage dump (doesn't matter if physical material or thousands of daily spam e-mails sent out) after each marketing campaign while your are playing with the small prints on these papers or webshop pages taking legal and reputational risk choose a more elegant way to find the price they are ready to deal with you at!

A very traditional interactive way of dealing which still works even at giants:
ASK THEM! | Preferably in a playful way.

"How much is it worth to you?"

Then catch the answer and think about. This application here is the tool to assist you in (even micro) auction management if you agree that pushing your customers to read tons of text, to hunt for coupons is so embarrassing and exhausting activity for everybody which is no longer your style. Instead of such commercial attitude you are going to do it in a more elegant and lovelier way, giving the opportunity for price negotiation and letting your customers have a bit air over their buying decision!

Be fancy, slim and naughty!

They can be very grateful for no bullshit and being handled as a partner in decision. Especially when you let them play their game! Think about the nature and the strength of the commitment when your customer her/himself sets the price! This way there is no motivation for lower-than-already-expressed price which supports the price level, there is less chance of cognitive dissonance if later lower prices found somewhere else, consequently less need for after-sales confirmation, less chance of complaint since one of the most deterministic factor of satisfaction inherently internalized (coming from the buyer), results less occasion of return of goods. This is our way to the world where prices are personalized, customized. The feeling of "I win, I obtained what I wanted " is the feeling of pure success which establishes the customer satisfaction. Yet you can still keep the final decision on accepting their bids: to deal or not to deal! Keep the control, let them roll. All is up to You!
How does it work?
We have the opportunity to set your auction logic per auction item completed with various parameters to have a well controlled semi-silent/semi-opened instant or term auction even taking into consideration fix costs or stock availability. From front-end customer journey experience perspective just imagine an item wished to sell in your webshop and a customer who does not like your flat listing price in the catalogue. S/he wants a bargain so s/he clicks on

button and can input the bid on a small screen. You, too, can give a try by signing in and clicking on the highlighted tag to see it in work in a simplified way. Auction might be evaluated immediately in case of instant dealing and might result an order right away at the negotiated price or in case of term auction and stock greater than one piece (to make sense of it) once your auction having expired the app delivers you a set of bid desired to be accepted as the solution to a knapsack problem driven by profit maximization! Have fun with us!
It is like a customer specific pricing, an add-on to the customer experience isn't it?
Absolutely, we believe so. Seems to be achievable even in our present society which is well-conditioned to mass consumption with trillions of transaction.
Can I have detailed data set of bids and of bidder activity?
In fact we provide an aggregated summary, a bit detailed but limited data set can be provided (for your request). However only the winner bids are personalized the rest remains anonym.
As I see login works with Google account. Do my customers need one?
Your customers don't. You (your webshop) just need to authenticate (identify) them and to send us an identifier for each customer to make us able to differentiate them. Regarding our QuikAuction service which is directly available for individuals as bidders (or even sellers too), yes, it is a must for the moment. Google provides us an identification service plus the e-mail address is also the contact information to complete the deal (bidder and seller may get in touch with each other via e-mail at first, discuss delivery details, manage after-sales issues which are out of our scope).
Any crumb to taste it technically?
Sure. Below in the footer find the Open API to learn for the very basics about integration. It's a swagger file. You might need some assistance from your IT.
