    A customized mobile app is a very tech-forward way to set your business apart and engage with customers wherever they are. This Sandhills Global hosted solution makes it easy for buyers to shop your continuously updated inventory—and even bid on your auction items—right from their smartphone or tablet.

    Sandhills will customize your hosted app’s features, colors, and branding.

    Branded & Customized

    If you have a Sandhills-hosted website, you’re eligible to complement it with a branded, native app that your customers can download for free. Apps are available on Apple’s App Store for iOS devices and Google Play for Android devices.

    A mobile app enhances exposure for your equipment, parts, and attachments, including items for sale, rental, and lease. It syncs automatically with Inventory Management in the Sandhills Cloud, so you only need to onboard inventory data once, as always.

    Best of all, Sandhills develops, maintains, and supports your app, so you don’t have to.

    A recent update lets customers view their bidder registration status and register to bid from inside the app.

    Auction Support

    One “killer application” for a Sandhills-hosted app is the ability for registered users to bid on your AuctionTime and Equipmentfacts lots. Customers can also view your sale catalogs and upcoming auctions. And a new update to hosted mobile apps allows customers to register to bid directly within the app. Sandhills is also working on empowering mobile app owners to create recurring push notification campaigns to reach buyers on their lock screens.

    Ask your Sandhills representative about launching a hosted mobile app of your own.
