### "Comprehensive care that's even better ROI than your auctioneer"

March 23, 2016

5.0

As a first-time auction chair, I found SchoolAuction to be easy and intuitive to use, but detailed enough to be robust against all the surprises that happened along the way. Their online resources were amazingly helpful, and they provided great support for the night of the auction as well. A key example of how much they care: we get an email a few weeks before the event explaining that they do regular check-ups and tests of our event software to make sure everything is going well, and they had found that we weren't equipped to handle a certain credit card. Very helpful.

### "Great choice for an online fundraiser!"

June 11, 2021

5.0

Pros

We like that the video stream, bidding, and chat exist on the same screen.

Cons

Can you create an actual raffle function? We were able to create a work-around, but it would've been much easier if it already existed.

### "This software a MUST for your next auction!"

February 1, 2015

5.0

We found this software to be invaluable in putting on a successful auction. From the website to the registration/check in interface, the ease of use for our attendee was superb. On the administrative side, the things you could add and edit were a perfect fit for our auction needs. The only issue I came across was the report feature was not as intuitive as I would have liked when using the software for something other than an auction. The customer service and support are outstanding. We will be using this again in the future to put on another successful auction!

January 12, 2017

Our elementary school has been using Schoolauction.net for a number of years. Each year they have improved the software to add more functionality. They have wonderful customer service. As this is my second year running our event I have a better idea on what we want and need. I researched other options this year and came back to schoolauction.net. The features they offer vs the competition are on point but the largest selling point for me was the flat price. As a PTA knowing what to budget and spend is essential to running my event and raising the most I can.

### "Auction Software Kudos"

February 3, 2015

5.0

The Architectural Heritage Center has used SchoolAuction. net auction software for several years now. We have been very impressed with the ease of use and constant upgrades that actually improve it rather than just driving one crazy. Customer support is great -- helpful AND patient. Our volunteers are active partners in this event and find the software to work wonderfully as well. Just last week, a volunteer who had never used it before learned the basic functions in just a few minutes and only had to ask a few questions. I recommend SchoolAuction.net.

### "SchoolAuction.net changed the way we run our auction for the better!"

November 26, 2016

5.0

SchoolAuction.net is easy to use and the customer service is exceptional! They are friendly, knowledgeable and receptive to suggestions for improvement. The online resources are accessible and helpful. They truly make the stress of a large gala event more manageable.

Pros

The ease of use and intuitive nature of the programming.

Cons

I would love additional data manipulation options and booklet creation sample with the ability to edit with instructions for mobile bidding already created.

August 22, 2017

4.0

Pros

The customer support is beyond compare and there are tutorials for everything. You don't need to be an expert to use it.

Cons

Some clicking back and forth that could be eliminated and it's not always intuitive where to find things.

schoolauction.net has simplified and streamlined the tedious tasks involved in creating, organizing and running a successful school auction fundraiser! Their customer service is EXCELLENT! Questions are answered immediately, either verbally or in writing! The you tube training videos are helpful as well. Having a web-based program is brilliant. It enables program access from any computer, phone, tablet etc..., from any location, at any time of day. The schoolauction.net family cares about the success of their clients and it shows!

### "Good overall -- everything an auction needs"

November 29, 2016

4.0

We have used SchoolAuction.net since 2014 and plan to continue to do so. Its best feature is that the customer service is excellent and the YouTube videos and Help screens are clear and user-friendly.

Pros

Has all the functions that you'd generally need, and very good customer service.

Cons

It is not as user-friendly as it could be -- the interfaces and visuals are good but a bit outdated. The auction "website" that it creates is pretty basic; we just use our own.

March 17, 2015

4.0

I have worked with schoolauction.net the past 4 years running an annual dinner and auction event. Every year the product has made impressive improvements. Staff and volunteers all commented who used the software shared that this year's experience was especially good thanks to the video support, evening of support from school auction, and the all around user friendliness of the site. The price for the product has been very reasonable as well. For what we get as a client, I think it is the best value out there.

This was our first year using an online auction program, and we couldn't be happier with our choice of SchoolAuction.net. It was very easy to use and did everything we needed it to do (and more!) Our audience was ready for the ease of online RSVP and payment. Support is very helpful and responds quickly, and the self help pages are also very good. Thanks to everything that we were able to do online, we were free to spend more time on other tasks that led to our Auction being our most successful ever.

### "Great software to MANAGE our Auction!"

October 12, 2016

4.0

Our elementary school hosts an online auction each year, as well as a Dinner Auction Gala where we have both silent and live auctions. The software that SchoolAuction.net provides is very comprehensive and makes 'managing' our auction (and all of it's moving parts!) so much easier! From basic information about running an auction, to ticket sales, to data entry for items, bids, etc... it's all there! This will be our 5th year using it, and I don't see why we would change!

Very easy set up and user friendly from day one through auction recap. Straight-forward and simple design with an easy public-facing interface. Customizations are possible you need them. The customer service is prompt, helpful and courteous (if you ever need it). The credit card and online sales is easy to set up and collect. We have used other vendors over the years and SchoolAuction.net is by far the best. No upsell, or tie-ins you won't use. Highly recommend!

January 17, 2017

5.0

We used School Auction for the first time last year, and had a great experience. We will be using their software again for this year's auction. Our volunteers were very pleased with the system, and it is easy to use once you've completed the initial training. I do wish the forms were available for download in a format other than Word (Mac users, here), but School Auction's customer support is excellent and they have helped us work around this. Pleased customer!

As Auction Chair I want the system to be easy, and when I got stuck or when I did something that I could be doing easier the team ALWAYS responded literally within minutes of my request with an easy fix. It's our second year using this system and I highly recommend it to any organization looking for a system. I was totally loving how easy the "auction night" page is for volunteers. Super easy to navigate and get things done easy on the night of!

We run multiple fundraisers throughout the year, from our Foundation to organizing countywide PTA fundraisers for the elementary, middle and high school. This platform is versatile and easy to use. The customer service and phone support is key when our volunteers need a little extra help. The reporting is an excellent asset and it helps us gauge the success of our events. We had a subscription in 2016 and I will renew our subscription in 2017.

What a genius product! Taking our auction into the next generation was definitely a task meant for a newcomer...and with this software and top notch support, we took it to the next level. I am so proud of the work we were able to accomplish with schoolauction.net. The customer support was unparalleled. I never had to wait more than 5 minutes for an answer on any question I had. Completely user friendly. I can't recommend this highly enough.

Schoolauction.net has been the best possible upgrade to our school's auction! With this program, we've done away with tedious paperwork and been able to easily implement an online auction, in addition to the live and silent auction. The new website update has greatly improved the look and feel of the software - and now I feel schoolauction.net is comparable to the other (more expensive) auction websites out there.

March 18, 2016

This is the first year we have used an auction management software for our fundraising gala. SchoolAuction was a fantastic find due the value it provides for the price. Many other competitors offer solutions at much higher price points and do not keep the "non-profit" mindset at the forefront. I recommend using SchoolAuction for your event and take advantage of the outstanding customer service as well.

We recently held our 35th annual school auction, the second auction run with SchoolAuction.net software. The software is one of the best tools I have used in my advancement career. From the catalog and donor export options to the night of check in and check out, this product increases our efficiency and ROI. We are looking to introduce mobile bidding next year and I can't wait to see how it goes!

The Mission Ridge Ski Team has been using SchoolAuction.net to help us run our events for the past 5 years. It is super user friendly and tracks guests, live auction items, silent auction items, values, who spent how much, etc... We use this for both our fundraising dinner auction and golf tournament every year. Their event day support is stellar, which is key when questions come up.

This product allowed us to have the smoothest checkout EVER at this annual event. I am singing its praises. During set up the day before, an issue was discovered in our guest list; an issue with bidder numbers/table numbers. The Support folks were very prompt in getting back to us and getting it corrected! I have worked on many auctions, and this product makes it so much easier!!

The software is easy to use and a great value for the money. Most of all, they don't take a piece of the action or charge you for credit card fees. We like the flat fee.

This will be our 4th year using SchoolAuction.net for our annual Ski Team Swap & Movie Fundraiser. Our event is based around consignment and movie ticket sales. The software is flexible enough that we can track every detail needed (along with our silent auction and raffle). We could not run such a huge and successful event without it~ Thank you SchoolAuction.net!
