A bit about our team...

Auction Systems has provided fundraising software to more than 5,000 non-profit customers for over 20 years. Everyone on the team started as volunteers for their kids' schools, their churches or civic organzations.

Barbara Crane purchased the Auction! software package for running her own school's annual auctions. Several years of success and enthusiastic participation led her to purchase the company in 1996. Building on the earlier robust software, customer surveys, and inquiries, Version 2 was developed and released in 1998. Customers provided great suggestions, and Version 3 was released in 2003. Our customers had more fantastic suggestions and the wish list grew. Version 4 was released in 2015 and we have added Auction! Cloud, EventPay! credit card processing and Online Reservations. We continue to grow, and enhance the software as we respond to our clients.

We have assembled a terrific team of sales and support specialist who are ready and willing to assist you.
