Run your first test auction in days — not weeks

Many bunker buyers start with a commitment-free test auction to experience the AuctionConnect platform firsthand. Here’s how it typically works:

 

Request a demo

Start by seeing AuctionConnect in action. Our personal demo gives you a first-hand look at how the platform works and what it can do for your procurement process.

Run a test auction

Together, we'll tailor an auction to your needs, inviting your chosen suppliers for real-time bidding. Most suppliers in key ports are already well-versed with AuctionConnect.

Evaluate the process

After the auction, take some time to assess. You’ll see the efficiency and transparency of the process, and how it stacks up against traditional methods.

Plan for roll-out

Specific needs can be included in the auction details, making them visible to all suppliers. This ensures that all bids meet your bespoke requirements.

We prioritize data security and privacy with advanced encryption, regular compliance checks, and robust data protection measures, ensuring your data is always secure.

AuctionConnect is designed for seamless integration with vessel management systems (VMS). Our team will work with you to ensure smooth integration and data migration.

AuctionConnect supports and enriches human interaction. Our team, comprised of seasoned traders and brokers, actively assists you before and after each auction. You’ll still form direct relationships with suppliers, and unlike some services, we ensure open communication channels for building new connections.

Not at all. AuctionConnect is a tool that complements your expertise. You drive the process, from setting up auctions to making the final call on bids. It's about enhancing your efficiency, not replacing your role.

AuctionConnect follows a standard brokered deal's claims process. You can notify suppliers directly on the platform, maintaining a clear log, and our team supports you throughout the resolution process.
