Leclair Fine Auctions x Biddify

Challenge

Leclair Fine Auctions had built a loyal following over four decades, but behind the scenes, their operations were becoming increasingly difficult to scale.

• Manual cataloguing and email bids

• Paper-based invoicing

• Limited bidder data

• A website that couldn’t support live or timed auctions

Their clients loved the personal touch—but Leclair knew they needed to modernize without losing what made them special.

Solution

In early 2024, Leclair partnered with [Platform Name] to streamline and digitize their entire auction workflow. The transition took less than two weeks.

Key features implemented:

• Online lot management with high-res image uploads

• Branded bidder portal to match Leclair’s elegant identity

• Real-time invoicing and payments integration

• Automated post-auction reports for consignors and accounting

  
  

Results (after 3 months)

• 🕒 50% faster lot intake and cataloguing

• 💸 24% increase in bidder participation (thanks to online access)

• 📩 75% fewer post-auction emails

• 🤝 Consignor satisfaction score: 9.5/10

• 🧾 No invoicing errors reported across 3 auctions

Client Quote

“We were worried about losing the personal feel. Instead, our clients say it feels even more polished and professional. The platform lets us focus on what we love—curating beautiful sales and building relationships.”

— Émilie Leclair, Director

Looking Ahead

Leclair plans to expand into weekly timed sales and explore API integration with their mailing list. For the first time in decades, they feel equipped to grow with confidence.
