The auction engine behind Wheels & Bids, running under your brand.
Auction houses, dealer groups, classifieds, and marketplaces: everything powering this site is available as a platform you can license, extend, and run as your own. Real-time bidding, anti-snipe timers, verified bidders, payments, PPSR integration, and notifications, built and operated in Australia by Blu Mint Digital.
A production platform, not a prototype.
Wheels & Bids is the public proof. Underneath it is a modular auction platform built on Next.js, Postgres, and Australian-hosted infrastructure, and we can shape it to your catalogue, your fees, and your workflows.
Real-time bidding engine
Serialised, race-safe bid processing in Postgres with tiered increments, anti-snipe extensions, and a full append-only bid ledger. Bids land in milliseconds and every page updates live.
Trust & identity layer
Verified bidder accounts, permanent ban lists that survive re-registration, shill-bid detection hooks, and moderated public Q&A on every lot.
Payments built in
Stripe-powered checkout for listing fees, buyer premiums, or deposits, shaped to whatever your commercial model needs. PCI burden stays with Stripe, reporting stays with you.
Australian vehicle data
NEVDIS rego/VIN lookups, spec pre-fill, and PPSR title checks with certificate-backed clean-title badging, integrated cost-efficiently (one pull per published lot).
Notifications that convert
Transactional email pipeline for outbid alerts, ending-soon reminders, results, and handover. Extensible to SMS and push when your volume justifies it.
Marketing-grade lot pages
SEO-structured listing pages with photo-rich social share cards, accessibility-tested UI, and sub-second loads on Sydney edge infrastructure.
Three ways to work with us.
Start with one, combine all three. Most enterprise clients license the platform, add the custom features their business depends on, and leave the operations to us.
White-label platform
Your brand, our engine. We stand up a dedicated instance with your identity, domain, fee structure, and lot types, from cars and machinery to salvage, fleet, and general goods, and we keep it maintained.
- Dedicated Australian-hosted instance
- Your branding, domain, and email identity
- Configurable increments, durations, and fees
- Launch in weeks, not quarters
Custom development
Your auctions don't work like anyone else's, and the software should reflect that. We design and build the features your operation actually runs on, integrated with your existing systems.
- Absentee/proxy bidding, reserves, multi-lot events
- Dealer feeds, DMS/CRM and inventory integrations
- Custom reporting, settlement, and invoicing flows
- Valuation data, condition reports, inspections
Full management
We run the technology end to end so your team runs the auctions. Hosting, monitoring, releases, data, security, and support, all handled by the people who built the platform.
- Hosting, monitoring, and incident response
- Continuous releases and security patching
- Email/notification deliverability management
- Direct line to the engineering team, Australian hours
From first call to first auction.
