Staffing

The AuctionStar^® system requires people at the event:

• An AuctionStar^® supervisor (significant advanced training)
• Check-in worker(s)
• AuctionStar operator(s), who can act as credit-card scanners and bid-sheet scanners 
• Scanning assistant(s)
• Check-out workers (including invoice/payment collection and item distribution)

When AuctionStar^® provides at least one event Supervisor and one Operator, they are often able to train additional client-supplied volunteers at the event (according to a pre-arranged schedule).

These AuctionStar-supplied experts handle many “last minute” changes and requests, train event volunteers in the nine different job areas, set-up equipment, move equipment when needed to prepare for invoicing, perform the bulk of bid sheet scanning tasks, and more. (It is not possible for one person to handle all of these tasks because many occur at the same time.)

We may agree to provide only an AuctionStar^® Supervisor (with no AuctionStar^® Operator), depending upon the size of the event and other circumstances. In such cases, the client organization would provide an experienced AuctionStar data-entry/printing operator (for both guests and items) to assist throughout the event and would need to train the volunteers in advance of the event.

We highly recommend that if a client desires to supply its own supervisor, that the nominated person work their first event with an AuctionStar-provided supervisor, with the intent of staffing their own events subsequent to this experience. Software license and renewal issued only to those clients that have prepared and trained as specified in the Software License Agreement and Client Run Contract Agreement.
