Aucxis Trading Solutions

the first auction clock

Electronic trading over the Internet

In Europe over a century ago agricultural and horticultural products were first sold by the use of mechanical auction clocks. This technology was gradually adopted over much of the European Continent and through the years it has been subject to a continuing evolution, such as electronic auction systems, remote and simultaneous auctions, remote bidding from home or office and Internet enabled applications.

Aucxis Trading Solutions is the world's largest supplier of electronic trading systems for agri-business and the fishing industry and offers over 100 years experience in supplying tailor-made electronic marketing tools to auction markets and selling organisations world-wide. We have always actively monitored the marketing requirements of the perishable goods industry and offer efficient state-of-the-art business tools for today's competitive marketplace. Fish, flowers, fruit, vegetables, fish, coffee and other products are marketed through electronic trading systems of varying sophistication, every system tailor-made to meet the precise requirements of each individual customer.

Our role goes far beyond mere technical development; in fact our projects are not designed or implemented until a detailed feasibility study or system analysis is completed.

Mission

We are facilitators, not market operators.
Our mission is to streamline the trading processes of agri-products and to help agri-markets to compete successfully in an ever-changing marketplace by efficiently integrating the advantages of new technologies without compromising on critical factors like transparency and reliability.
