AIMS Auction Systems


Gryphon Auction Systems specialise in designing software for Auctioneers, predominately the excellent AIMS Back Office system.  However, we can also design and manage your web site, supply and install your PCs and network and provide on-line remote technical support.  We can provide a total IT solution! 

Our service is ideal for auctioneers starting their own business, auctioneers upgrading from a manual system or auctioneers who need to upgrade old systems.

One of the most cost effective and efficient back office solutions for busy auctioneers, AIMS has a proven track record of success in auction houses of all sizes.  No auctioneer works in totally the same way and so AIMS is very flexible, enabling most auctioneers to use it straight from the box.  However, it can also be customised to each auctioneer's particular requirements. 

AIMS was custom designed with the needs of both small and large auctioneers in mind. EASY to use, EASY to learn, AIMS is a powerful package.  Using familiar language and simple menu driven screens, it is easy to navigate around.

 

AIMS was initially designed for Clevedon Salerooms, a small general and fine art auctioneer based in Clevedon, just south of Bristol, to replace an old DOS based system.  Just as they have grown to become one of the biggest and most successful auctioneers in the area so AMS has grown with them!  AIMS has been progressively developed to meet the needs of ALL types of auctioneer,  including Fine Art, Commercial and Agricultural auctioneers. 

 

There are three versions:-

  • Fine Art - for Fine Art and General auctioneers (suitable for those on the VAT Margin Scheme).  Ideal for name based sales and Registered buyer sales (where buyers retain the same number for each sale)

  • Commercial - for auctioneers who register buyers at each sale

  • AIMS Lite - for the small auctioneer with a limited budget (last revised 2006)

NEW! - Back Office Management Service

If you hold sales infrequently, we can even come and manage the back-office for you, releasing your staff to concentrate on the sale.  We can send two experienced staff to manage the computer/s, enter sale price details into the system, print the sales invoices and handle the queries.  Prices depend on where you hold your sales and over how many days they run. 

NEW! - Valuation Manager

Gryphon have also developed the Valuation Manager, a stand a lone software package for recording and printing Insurance and Probate Valuations.  Simple to use, Valuation Manager can be installed on a laptop computer and taken to site to enter the items, then brought back to the office to print the valuations.  If the clients subsequently wants to sell the lots at auction the lots and vendor details can be imported into AIMS, eliminating a need for retyping.
