Auction Platforms

The LYA Team brings expert auction preparation and support experience and expertise across different auction formats.

LYA's Auction Platforms include a full suite of formats in use across various applications including Simultaneous Multiple Round Ascending Auctions (SMRA), Combinatorial Clock Auctions (CCA), Clock Auctions, Reverse Auctions and Sealed Bids auctions and their variations.

LYA’s Auction Platforms handle auctions with a large number of items, targeted at supporting bidders in high-stakes auctions. The platforms run fully automated simulations to support evaluation of complex rules and to test bidding strategies, and to enable bidders to conduct mock auctions as part of training. LYA’s Platforms have been designed to handle a large number of bidders, a large number of items for sale, and variations on rule sets.

Robotic bidders are programmed to bid competitively in an auction. The robots can be set to exhibit a variety of behaviours, bidding on specific packages or item by item. The robots are designed to compete with each other, while respecting the complex rules of the auction. This permits users to bid into large-scale realistic auctions and gain an understanding and weigh benefits and risks associated with different strategies, bidding tactics and implications for budgets.

Our Auction Platforms are flexible and can be used
for a wide variety of types of auctions.
