Client overview

A digital auction software company provides a customizable, cloud-based platform for management, bidding, and live events. Its white-label mobile, tablet, and web experiences let auction houses connect bidders from anywhere worldwide, improving reach and participation.

By unifying catalog publishing, marketing, and bidder services, the platform helps auction houses reach new audiences and grow revenue. Tools for registration and live bidding increase engagement and satisfaction while preserving identity through white-label control.

Challenges

Modernizing their core platform and delivering a scalable, future-ready architecture presented several challenges.

White-label overload

Maintaining 400+ white-labeled apps with custom configurations and branding overwhelmed engineering and slowed feature rollouts across the ecosystem.

Integration complexity

Point-to-point third-party integrations created system fragility, amplified production risks, and complicated new partner onboarding processes.

Growing identity sprawl

The lack of centralized access control and identity management led to error-prone deployments and rising security risks as users scaled globally.

Solution

We took complete ownership of their engineering and implemented a comprehensive modernization that transformed their platform. 

Microservices architecture 

We decomposed the monolithic platform into containerized services, enabling independent scaling and improved performance of critical services like bidding, payments, and inventory. 

Automated deployments 

Built configuration-driven deployment pipelines to manage releases across hundreds of white-labeled instances efficiently, reducing manual coordination and operational overhead. 

Message bus integration 

Replaced point-to-point integrations with standardized message bus architecture, improving communication protocols and reducing system dependencies for better reliability. 

Centralized identity management 

Implemented unified authentication system with multi-tenant data isolation, providing secure access control and simplified credential management across all platform instances. 

Business impact

The modernized platform delivered significant operational improvements and positioned the client for continued growth in the digital auction space.
