This introductory article provides the most basic information needed to use Wavebid effectively, including browser requirements, login, and resetting passwords.
This article contains the following sections:
Recommended Browsers
The Wavebid experience is best enjoyed using Google Chrome on a PC or MAC.
Wavebid developers use Google Chrome as their desktop main web browser for the development of the Wavebid platform, thus it is recommended that this browser is used to interact with the Wavebid platform. The best back-up browser to be used is Mozilla Firefox, if necessary.
For requirements related to the Wavebid app, see Wavebid Mobile.
Wavebid and the Cloud
Wavebid is cloud-based software, which offers many advantages. Data is stored securely and privately using industry-leading encryption technologies while leveraging the power of the internet to allow use from any device, at any location, and by any number of designated people. Wavebid is where users can access all of a company’s auction-related information.
Duplicate Customer Records
When a new or existing personal record (ex. bidders or sellers) is being saved, Wavebid automatically checks the database for matching persons. If two personal records match, Wavebid will merge them into one record to avoid duplicates.
For more information, see the 'Duplicate Customer Records' section under the Managing Customers help article.
