Bespoke Software From Start To Finish
The story of the Auction Application for Phillips De Pury
Phillips De Pury, the London based high-end Contemporary Art Auction House, needed to replace the existing auction room set up as part of a new look. Previously staff had presented information from two disparate laptops on to two video screens, using images from the website to show the lots on one screen and, on the second, the value of bids as they were placed in multiple currencies. As part of the revamp, Phillips De Pury had invested in one large screen and needed one solution to replace the two functions.
Compsoft delivered a very tidy functional solution that was used at the much publicised Contemporary Art Auction held on February 12, 2010 at the London headquarters in Howick Place. On the night, 43 lots were up for auction with the sales grossing approximately £6.1 million.
Pleased with the speedy development and the ease-of-use, Phillips De Pury’s Tom Campbell said:
“The software works perfectly and meets every standard outlined in the specification. The control interface is straight forward and easy to use, and it has been great to free up the administration time previously spent on manually creating power-point presentations.”
