Handbid for iPad

Our silent auction iPad kiosk app, Handbid iPad. Any user can bid in your silent auction using this easy to use bidding tool! Once you have an account setup with us, log into Handbid iPad and allow your bidders to browse items in your auction, check their bid history, and bid!

Moreover, we have a manager section in the App that allows managers to see real time stats, view the guest list, check in guests, view real time bidding activity, manage an auction live-stream, record live auction bids and view the auction chat.

Handbid has powered thousands of events and delighted tens of thousands of bidders in the process. With native apps for iPhone and a kiosk app available for the iPad, there is not a better experience and solution for running your silent auction.

Here are 3 great reasons to use Handbid for your next event:

1. Our mobile app experience is second to none. For those bidders without a supported device, they can either bid from the web on their phone or from this Handbid iPad kiosk app.

2. Handbid has been powering silent auctions since 2011 and we have been running auctions ourselves much longer than that. We know how hard it is and we have built this system to make it EASY for you, your volunteers, and your bidders.

3. Our commitment to service is as great as our software. We get as many compliments on our service as we do on our software. You can be assured we'll do everything we can to make your experience as smooth and easy as possible.

Common questions about Handbid:

- How does it work?
Your guests will either download our app, bid from the web on their phone or computer, or bid from an iPad kiosk. Everything is real-time and Handbid allows your guests to bid from multiple places and interfaces.

- What people people don't have a smartphone or don't want to download an app?
Over 90% of your users will show up with an iPhone and be ready to use the app and bid. If they don't want to use their phone? Have them bid from this iPad App.

- Can people pay though Handbid
Yes! We have integrated payments in our iPhone and iPad apps so that at the end of the night, your guests can view and pay their invoice without having to stand in line. We also have backend manager tools to process payments for those who don't have our app. Can you accept payments outside of Handbid? Yes

- Do you provide on-site support?
Yes we can do that. We have built Handbid to be easy enough to use where you can train and do it yourself, but we certainly do offer onsite experts who can do it all for you or even just provide extra "tech support" the day of your event.

- How much does it cost?
We offer a number of fixed-price packages that are based on the size and number of events you run. Please contact us and we can provide you up to date pricing for your event.

- It looks cool, but is it worth the investment?
Absolutely. Sure, you expected to hear us say that. But remember, we run auctions for our own organizations. We know you are on a tight budget and you want to maximize dollars for your program services. Handbid MORE than pays for itself. Most of our clients see anywhere from a 30% to 50% increase over what they did before. Some even higher.

Put it this way, this is one investment that will generate more revenue at your event. You can't say the same for your caterer, venue or even the band.
