RainWorx Auction Software Update Adds Flexibility For Vertical Markets

ESSEX JUNCTION, VT. -- RainWorx Software released version 5.0 of their popular auction website package rwAuction Pro. The new functionality has added an e-procurement sale model and increase administration functionality. Online auction websites continue to grow and expand into new international and vertical markets...

Two new sale formats, Reverse Auctions and Request For Quotes, turn the primarily traditional online auction application into an affordable e-procurement solution. Both methods allow for products and services to be purchased for the lowest/best offer and have already proven their popularity with several popular websites catering to independent contractors in both regional and international markets.

Security and accountability has become a large concern for both large well known websites and smaller ones as well. Websites using the latest version of RainWorx’ rwAuction Pro have access to a new seller approval and listing approval system. By specifying who is allowed to sell on the website, business owners have more control over the quality of service their customers receive. Adding the ability to screen all posted items, site owners are given complete control over all content as well. “This keeps our customer’s business safer and more reliable, enabling them to protect every party involved in each transaction they make,” said Stephen Gorman, President of RainWorx Software.

“Having alternative ways to do business is nothing new but we have put everything together in a single package so that it can fit almost any business model.” Businesses that need to go beyond what is provided can also take advantage of customizing the software either by RainWorx or another 3rd party developer. Whether servicing a broad or niche industry the software can be customized to meet the needs of almost any vertical market, and has been customized for automotive, real estate, intellectual property assets, and international markets.

ESSEX JUNCTION, VT. -- RainWorx Software released its newest update of rwAuctionPro with version 4.5, a website application allowing people to auction, trade, or advertise goods and services online. The company reached its goal in creating a "user friendly sales manager" by enhancing both the administration and account manager features. Vertical market, international, and regional auction websites have continued to gain popularity since eBay's past fee hikes.

The latest improvements not only add ease of use for the businesses but enable them to attract and maintain their own customer base. This includes a listing Template manager which allows users to create and develop their own inventory online, adding a powerful sales tool to the website. This also includes new B2B sales management and invoicing "that will simplify communication between sellers and buyers creating easier payment and fulfillment services," said Steve Gorman, President at RainWorx Software. "RainWorx has built a reputation as the leader in online auction software by providing businesses with the products and consulting services to successfully implement their own strategic vertical markets."

The improvements continue with a rewritten administration control panel, IP blocking security, multi-browser compatibility, and updated CSS with easy to edit website help and other content pages. The auction application includes features that enable businesses to adapt their business model to a working website, including a "Marketplace" style similar to popular Ebay.com.
