For the organiser
What it is like to run the night
Guests see a clean website. Behind it is the part that decides whether the evening is calm or chaos: setting up, running the room, and collecting the money afterwards. Here is the whole job, the way an organiser meets it, before, during and after.
Before the night
Setting up, without the dread
A new event site, built to what you are running, in an afternoon rather than a fortnight.
Set-up wizard
Answer a few questions and the site builds itself: the right pages, how guests bid, your currency, bank details and colours.
In the adminLoad the lots
Add auction lots one by one or in bulk, with a procurement tracker for what has been promised and what has arrived.
In the adminTickets, tables & seating
Ticket tiers and VIP packages, then a drag-and-drop table plan and a find-my-seat page for guests.
In the adminMake it yours
Your logo, your colours and your wording throughout, with a pre-flight check that catches the classic mistakes before doors open.
In the adminOn the night
One calm screen while the room roars
Everything that needs a decision in the next few minutes, in one place, so nothing is missed in the noise.
Night at a glance
Your live command screen: what is raised, what is closing, which lots are quiet, who owes, and how the room network is coping.
See the dashboard →Check guests in
A QR check-in at the door that knows who has arrived and where they are sitting.
In the adminThe big screens
The gala totaliser, the live pledge screen, the table plan and a slideshow, all driven from the same live data.
See the gala screen →Approve as you go
Late or offline bids land for a quick yes or no, so a dropped signal never loses a bid or muddles a result.
In the adminAfter the night
The bit everyone dreads, made simple
The morning after is about collecting the money and thanking people, not untangling a spreadsheet.
Who has paid, who owes
Every winner marked paid or outstanding, with reminders and saved-card retries doing the chasing for you.
In the adminThe night in numbers
Total raised, the Gift Aid uplift, the commission you did not pay, and the gifts recovered from near-misses.
See the impact report →Thank-yous & Gift Aid
Personalised thank-you emails, a monthly-giving ask at the perfect moment, and a Gift Aid claim ready for HMRC.
In the adminStraight into your CRM
Every supporter and gift pushed automatically into Salesforce (NPSP) or Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT, or out as a CSV or webhook to any other CRM.
In the adminAnd if you get stuck
You are never on your own
A complete guide, an assistant that knows your event, and a platform built to be trusted with the money.
The complete guide
Every function in plain English, with a search that actually finds the answer.
Open the guide →An assistant that knows your event
Ask it what to do about a quiet lot or a slow room and it answers from your actual numbers.
In the adminSecurity & trust
Where the money and data go, and the test suite that proves it keeps working.
See the posture →Want to see it from the organiser’s chair?
