The Challenge

Launching a new auction brand meant RNM needed to build credibility quickly and offer a trusted, user-friendly platform for both vendors and trade buyers across Ireland and Europe.

Their core requirements included:

• Support for Euro transactions and VAT handling
• A platform suitable for heavy plant and agri equipment listings
• Timed bidding with reserve logic and real-time status visibility
• Secure buyer registration with trade verification tools
• Integrated contracts, invoicing, and financial reporting in Euros
• Seamless user experience, branded under the RNM Auctions identity
• Reliable support and fast go-live

The Solution

RNM selected BidHarvest® as the complete end-to-end auction management system for their launch, offering all the core tools needed to hit the ground running, while remaining scalable for future growth.

BidHarvest® enabled RNM to:

✅ Launch a branded online auction platform fully tailored to their stock profile
✅ Accept consignments of plant and agri stock using structured category attributes
✅ Run timed-only sales with auto-extend, soft-close, and reserve price control
✅ Register trade buyers and enforce deposit rules and bidder credit limits
✅ Operate in Euro currency with Irish VAT schema for both invoices and reporting
