A white-label auction platform for organisations that want full control of their route to market — without sending bidders to third-party aggregators.
iRostrum enables organisations to deliver secure, high-performance online auctions through their own branded platforms. Designed for teams that are accountable for outcomes, reputation, and long-term growth — whether running a single auction or as part of ongoing auction activity — shaped by over 15 years of hands-on experience supporting professional auction operations.
iRostrum is designed for organisations that want to run auctions professionally — whether you’re launching your first sale or operating at scale.
Our clients include:
If you are responsible for how auctions are run — and how they are perceived — iRostrum is built for you.
With iRostrum, auctions run on your own branded platform, under your own terms.
You retain control of how your auctions are presented, how bidders register and engage, how data is captured and owned, and how rules, fees, and charges are applied.
You are not placing lots into a third-party aggregator.
You are building a direct route to market that you control — today and as your needs evolve.
iRostrum is designed to operate as a seamless extension of your existing website and digital presence.
Auctions are delivered under your own domain and branding, ensuring a consistent experience for bidders and customers. Visitors remain within your branded environment throughout the auction journey — from discovery and registration through to bidding and post-auction activity.
From a buyer’s perspective, it feels like part of your website — not a third-party platform.
Integration approaches are discussed during demos and tailored to your specific requirements, ensuring the right balance between control, flexibility, and operational simplicity.
Successful auctions depend on bidder confidence.
iRostrum’s bidder experience is designed around how buyers actually behave — browsing, shortlisting, watching, and bidding under time pressure — without unnecessary friction or distraction.
The platform has been refined over more than 13 years of real-world use, informed by how bidders and auction operators behave under live auction conditions — not theoretical UX models.
The result is an experience that feels clear, predictable, and trustworthy across devices, encouraging participation, repeat engagement, and stronger auction outcomes.
Running online auctions requires more than a bidding interface.
iRostrum supports professional governance through controlled bidder onboarding, clear enforcement of terms and conditions, full auditability of auction activity, and structured post-auction processes.
These workflows reflect over a decade of supporting auctions in regulated, high-value, and scrutinised environments, where process and auditability matter.
This gives operators confidence that their auctions are defensible, repeatable, and aligned with their legal and commercial responsibilities — whether running a one-off event or long-term auction activity.
Every auction journey is different.
iRostrum supports different operating models — from single seller auctions and one-off events to multi-seller environments — within the same white-label platform.
You can launch with a simple configuration, refine processes as you learn, and expand into new formats, sellers, or markets over time — without changing platform, compromising your brand, or forcing bidders elsewhere.
iRostrum supports different ways of running online auctions. Most organisations start with one of the following models and evolve over time as their requirements change.

"Berry Bros. & Rudd were looking for a tried and tested technology partner who both understood our ambition, but also had practical working knowledge of auctions. We understood a lot of the theory, but iRostrum were incredibly well-placed to help demystify some of the nuanced aspects of auctions as well as matters of best practice. After a thorough review of a number of auction platforms, we selected iRostrum, confident that they would provide the flexibility, security and performance that we required to meet our needs.
Having set ourselves ambitious timelines for our first auction, the speed-to-market of the selected solution was also a significant factor in the selection process. While the platform delivered a lot of the functionality that we required, we challenged the iRostrum team to deliver against a greater scope of work; a challenge that they accepted with relish and delivered on. Greg’s technical knowledge, combined with Marijke’s experience from working for several major auction houses, provided a depth of knowledge and a valuable sounding board.
The system itself was complex yet comprehensive, and the team quickly learned how to navigate the back end with ease. The iRostrum team became integrated within the project team and were both reactive and proactive to the demands of the project. Feedback from customers has been very positive thus far. They have also been keen to make suggestions for where we might make improvements to the platform, which we implemented in time for our second sale.
Our first auction was a resounding success, and we were delighted to be able to report a 100% sell through rate; a ‘White Glove’ sale. We have subsequently been building on this initial success through a series of subsequent auctions as we continue to offer our valued customers more ways to maximise the value of their wine and spirits collections."
Geordie Willis, Berry Bros. & Rudd
