Auctions for Salesforce a game changer for non profits!
What do you like best?
Auctions for Salesforce organizes and streamlines the entire process and every facet of it. It enables you to enter ticket sales for people attending, then create table captains and attendees for each table and table numbers. It allows you to enter your donated auction items, create packages and categories. On the day of the event check in is a breeze, every person can easily get their bid number and table number from the check in team using ipads or laptops, so there's no confusion.
What do you dislike?
Auctions for Salesforce is missing a table seating plan module where you can visualize and set up where each table and number goes in the room of the event so people are seated in the correct location.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Our annual auction is a major fundraiser, so its efficiency is of utmost importance. Time saved by using this program allow us to focus on fundraising and cultivating donors. Auctions for Salesforce automates everything, table captains, attendees, attendees by table number, auction items, auction items not in a package and you can run reports for many different things relating to the auction, including donations, sponsors, auction item sponsors and keep a rolling report as the auction fundraiser progresses. In the days before salesforce we did this manually and it took hours and hours of work which also had tons of errors.
