New Release Leverages Popular Bootstrap 3 Framework to Create Auction Websites that Adapt to Any Screen Size Including Tablets, Smartphones, and Desktops.
South Burlington, VT, January 21, 2014 -- RainWorx Software, a leading provider of online auction solutions and bespoke auction websites, released the next version of its popular auction software. AuctionWorx Enterprise 2.0 continues to advance its feature set for auction services to enable both non-technical website owners and professional software developers to launch an online auction website.
Utilizing the Twitter Bootstrap 3 framework and CSS3 media queries, the main user interface has been overhauled; incorporating a responsive design that automatically optimizes to desktop, tablet, or mobile devices.

Responsive design will become an important advantage for customers as mobile usage increases for ecommerce websites. Additional new features targeting mobile phones and tablets include image rotation (for managing uploaded image orientation), touch screen compatible image viewer, and one-touch "scroll up" ability.
For professional software developers, AuctionWorx Enterprise 2.0 provides a new Web Service module built on top of Web API 2. The new Web API will enable developers to write external solutions and mobile apps targeting a customer’s deployed auction website.

RainWorx Software released version 6.0 of their popular auction website application rwAuction Pro. RainWorx Auction Pro allows businesses to create an independent auction website with Standard and Reverse Auctions, Classifieds, RFQ, or Fixed Price Sales. Version 6.0 includes a completely rewritten invoice system for managing transactions between payers and payees for all users including website owner sales.
Essex Junction, VT June 27, 2008 -- RainWorx Software released version 6.0 of their popular auction website application rwAuction Pro. RainWorx Auction Pro allows businesses to create an independent auction website with Standard and Reverse Auctions, Classifieds, RFQ, or Fixed Price Sales. Version 6.0 includes a completely rewritten invoice system for managing transactions between payers and payees for all users including website owner sales.
The biggest improvement in the new version is the revamped invoicing system which replaces the previous "C2C Invoices" and "Direct B2C Sales" by merging the two into a single seamless sales system allowing immediate payment for goods in a method similar to a standard online shopping cart. Besides facilitating transactions between users, this version also improves on organizing listings by including a US based zip code radius search and regional options for international clients. The new version also facilitates payment and fee collection with the integration of the PayPal PayFlow Pro merchant service, and incorporates time saving administrative functionality for tasks such as category management and importing listings with CSV files.
RainWorx Auction Pro covers a vast range of vertical markets and business models. At its core and primary focus, rwAuction Pro allows you to create your own auction marketplace. It can become an open channel to enable buyers and sellers to transact while charging for listing options, optional membership plans, and maintaining control over sellers and listings. This type of scenario is often used for new or existing businesses to start online niche, collectible, or regional focused markets.
The system can be closed to outside listing agents which provides a channel for your business to market directly to other businesses or consumers. Former eBay sellers or businesses with an established or potential customer base can conduct sales without a 3rd party charging percentage fees or imposing business rules. Depending on the listing format a business can charge buyers by credit card or PayPal through an instant checkout process. This way rwAuction Pro becomes not just an auction marketplace but also functions as an ecommerce storefront.
Since 2002, businesses from all over the world have been coming to RainWorx for building auction and ecommerce websites. From large corporations to business startups, RainWorx has been the number one choice for Real Estate, Automotive, Collectibles, Fund Raising, Large Equipment, Service Providers, Liquidation, and Wholesale Procurement needs.

RainWorx Software is a Vermont-based micro ISV, a leader in international and domestic online auction software solutions.

ESSEX JUNCTION, VT. -- RainWorx Software released version 5.0 of their popular auction website package rwAuction Pro. The new functionality has added an e-procurement sale model and increase administration functionality. Online auction websites continue to grow and expand into new international and vertical markets...
Two new sale formats, Reverse Auctions and Request For Quotes, turn the primarily traditional online auction application into an affordable e-procurement solution. Both methods allow for products and services to be purchased for the lowest/best offer and have already proven their popularity with several popular websites catering to independent contractors in both regional and international markets.
Security and accountability has become a large concern for both large well known websites and smaller ones as well. Websites using the latest version of RainWorx’ rwAuction Pro have access to a new seller approval and listing approval system. By specifying who is allowed to sell on the website, business owners have more control over the quality of service their customers receive. Adding the ability to screen all posted items, site owners are given complete control over all content as well. “This keeps our customer’s business safer and more reliable, enabling them to protect every party involved in each transaction they make,” said Stephen Gorman, President of RainWorx Software.
“Having alternative ways to do business is nothing new but we have put everything together in a single package so that it can fit almost any business model.” Businesses that need to go beyond what is provided can also take advantage of customizing the software either by RainWorx or another 3rd party developer. Whether servicing a broad or niche industry the software can be customized to meet the needs of almost any vertical market, and has been customized for automotive, real estate, intellectual property assets, and international markets.

ESSEX JUNCTION, VT. -- RainWorx Software released its newest update of rwAuctionPro with version 4.5, a website application allowing people to auction, trade, or advertise goods and services online. The company reached its goal in creating a "user friendly sales manager" by enhancing both the administration and account manager features. Vertical market, international, and regional auction websites have continued to gain popularity since eBay's past fee hikes.
