Auctioneers

Auction houses juggle bidder packs, consignor KYC, and settlement timelines that do not wait for manual reconciliation. Proofenance pre-registers approved bidders (buyers) before the rostrum, runs consignor and seller checks where your policy requires them, and attaches post-sale work to the same compliance architecture your MLRO already uses.

Proofenance applies consignor and seller diligence with the same rigour as buyer work where your policy demands it, so both sides of the title stay auditable on one sale. ProofMarked Reports defend each hammer price; governance reporting in Proofenance shows how the house trains staff, sets policy, and supervises risk.

The link between tools you already use

Most galleries and dealers already run several systems in parallel: payment processors for cards and transfers, AML and screening products, diligence chased manually or over email, governance tracked in spreadsheets or paper binders, and evidence buried in inboxes, scans, and receipts. Those steps rarely meet on one sale. Proofenance is the missing link: ProofMarked runs each deal through a single thread so you stop mentally joining the dots.

  • Catalogue and bidder registration

    Your existing catalog and registration platforms stay in place. Proofenance links pre-reg, rostrum sales, and settlement to the same compliance thread.

  • Incumbent payment providers

    Keep the rails you already use where they work. Proofenance links settlement and compliance to the sale instead of leaving finance in one place and AML in another.

  • Screening and due diligence

    Screening databases and one-off checks often sit outside the invoice. Proofenance pulls outcomes, enhanced diligence, and collector follow-up onto the same purchase as the work and counterparty. Where your policy requires it, Proofenance checks sellers and consignors with the same rigour as buyers, on the same ProofMarked sale.

  • Governance and informal records

    Policies, training logs, and audit material often live in binders, shared drives, or ad hoc spreadsheets. Proofenance holds gallery or dealer governance beside ProofMarked Reports for each sale.

  • Paper, email, and attachments

    Photocopies, forwarded threads, and desk piles are where evidence goes missing. Proofenance replaces improvised collection with structured collector flows and a clear audit trail.

  • Proofenance as the connector

    ProofMarked binds payments, checks, and reporting around each sale to reduce the mental load on staff and the potential for mistakes. Proofenance fits how you already sell: it does not force a rigid playbook. Open your first sale lightly, then turn on more checks, governance, and automation when it suits you. Run Proofenance beside incumbent tools or consolidate over time, at your pace.
