The "Paper Bid Sheet" auction is a staple of the non-profit fundraising suite and as AES matured into high technology areas we continue to support and improve on the processes and technologies that surround the traditional bid-sheet auction.
Today there are many great technology add-ons that can greatly enhance the traditional bid-sheet auction experience and at the same time bring new levels of sponsorship and revenue generation to the event day or night activities.
Auction & Event Solutions started computerizing bid sheet auctions and functions in 1988 and today we still support the paper-based auctions with these services.
