Handbid, a leading platform designed to transform silent auctions, has long been at the forefront of making fundraising events more dynamic and accessible. However, like any innovative solution, there was an ongoing need for improvements to meet the evolving demands of both auction hosts and bidders. Discover how Master of Code Global enhanced the platform and supported its continued growth in our case study.
Jeff Porter
Handbid Founder / CEO
Master of Code developed our iOS and Android apps for us. We gave them the design of the app, and they were involved in the development process. Then, they supported us on the launch of these apps. They also ended up taking over some front-end WordPress development on our main website. I've worked with many different offshore companies and offshore teams, and Master of Code is one of the best I've worked with.
The main challenge faced by Handbid was the need to improve the platform’s scalability and user interface to support auctions of any size, while offering a seamless and engaging journey for users. With hundreds of events already powered by Handbid, there was a clear demand for continuous improvements in the app’s backend to handle high volumes of users and data without compromising speed or performance. Additionally, Handbid’s UI required a refresh to further simplify the auction experience, making sure that customers, whether tech-savvy or not, could navigate the platform with ease.
Master of Code Global successfully enhanced Handbid’s platform for a smooth auction experience
We elevated Handbid’s existing platform by delivering backend improvements and targeted UI updates that directly impacted how live auctions are run. We strengthened real-time bidding flows, optimized data processing during active events, and redesigned key website interfaces to simplify navigation and auction processes.
Some of the key features we developed for Handbid include:
Seamless Event Management: Hosts can now manage silent auctions of any size effortlessly, from intimate gatherings to large-scale fundraising events. The platform’s new backend infrastructure allows for quick data processing, guaranteeing that every bid and transaction is captured accurately and in real-time.
Improved User Interface: The revamped design provides a cleaner, more intuitive experience for customers, allowing them to navigate the auction process with ease. Whether they are placing bids, browsing auction items, or viewing event details, users enjoy a smoother and more engaging journey.
Mobile and Web Integration: By optimizing both the iOS, Android, and web platforms, we made certain that users could participate in auctions from any device, at any time, without compromising performance or usability.
Real-Time Updates: The app provides live notifications on auction progress, bid statuses, and time remaining, keeping participants fully engaged and informed throughout the event.
Scalable Performance: Handbid now supports larger and more complex auctions, handling higher traffic volumes without slowing down. The company excels in both modest charity auctions and major fundraising events, offering reliable performance and an easy experience across all devices.
