bidfresh by Schoolyard Booleans

The bidfresh platform consists of two components: the administrator web console and the iPhone bidder application.

The administrator web console allows organizations to create auctions, add items, monitor auction progress, view donors, and verify payments of items.

The iPhone application is for bidders at the auctions. Through the app users can search through auction items, place bids, view bidding history and get notified when they have been outbid
