A custom Laravel backend to handle all aspects of auction management

Wickman’s is a specialist in Wine auctions across Australia, and their online presence needed to reflect the scale and precision of their unique business model. We delivered a fully headless build, pairing a robust Laravel backend with a Vue.js frontend for a fast, seamless user experience. The platform was engineered to manage everything from lot registration and listing to real-time bidding, with automated notifications to keep users informed during live auctions. Built with scalability and performance in mind, this custom solution empowers Wickmans to run sophisticated digital auctions with ease.

We architected a custom Laravel backend to handle all aspects of auction management, from user registration to listing creation and bidding logic. This backend was decoupled from the front end, which we built in Vue.js for fast rendering and smooth user interactions. API connectors ensure seamless data flow between the backend and the live auction interface, keeping bids and notifications in sync in real time. The result is a high-performance auction platform that delivers both reliability and flexibility for Wickman and their users.
