New technology enables
auctioneers to view consolidated data before approving bidders
NEW YORK – In its ongoing mission to provide auction houses
with the most dependable method of pre-screening potential online bidders,
LiveAuctioneers.com has added comprehensive bidder analytics to its existing
approval process. The new data suite provides aggregated information and statistics
culled from several sources to create the most reliable bidder profile
currently available anywhere in the Internet-auction sector.
Auction houses using LiveAuctioneers for their Internet
live-bidding services may now view the following amalgamated information for
any potential bidder via the company’s back-end bidder analytics:
· How long the person has been a
registered member of LiveAuctioneers
· How many past auctions they have
signed up for
· How many bids they have placed through
LiveAuctioneers in previous auctions
· How many searches and catalog items
they have saved, indicating how
involved they have been on an
ongoing basis
· An Experian bar chart that rates how
closely the personal information entered by the potential bidder, e.g., name,
address, telephone number, etc., matches up with data held in the credit
bureau’s records. (Note: It is not a credit check.)
In tandem with the introduction of LiveAuctioneers’ bidder
analytics, the company has added several other new features to the back-end dashboard.
Now auctioneers can click on an icon to designate a person as being a “regular”
or “blocked” bidder, and to view their LinkedIn or Facebook profile if the
member has opted to add those links during the sign-up process.
Also, auctioneers now have the ability to view the number of
potential bidders whose approval is currently “pending,” as well as a list of
bidders categorized according to status: pending, approved, declined or
suspended. Another useful feature tells auctioneers how many bids have been
placed so far in an upcoming sale.
“We are confident that auction houses who use
LiveAuctioneers’ services for their Internet live bidding now have available to
them the world’s most advanced and accurate method of pre-screening online bidders,”
said LiveAuctioneers CEO Julian R. Ellison. “With the addition of bidder
analytics, auctioneers now have unprecedented access to each and every
potential bidder’s online history and other information that is appropriate and
germane to the approval process.”
