Your consignors ask for a full report of last year's payouts. Your buyers ask if you got their new address. Your own staff ask you which spreadsheet to trust. AfterHammer is the one place the whole business lives, from drop-off to payout, and the questions start answering themselves.
Photograph your items. Titles write themselves. Your entire auction preps itself for Auction Ninja and uploads in 30 seconds.
One Desk runs every ship order: charge the card, buy the label, pack from photos, ship. Tracking marks each order Delivered on its own. Pickup day gets its own check-off screen with big photos.
Statements build themselves from your results. Consignors approve online and get paid. The math is always right.
It runs alongside your Auction Ninja account without ever touching it: listings leave here ready to upload, results drop right back in, and in between you see exactly where every item sits. The gold steps carry live demos. Click around in them.
Every consignor gets a login under your name and colors, and watches their items sell and their money move in real time, so they trust the statement instead of phoning you.
Shoot everything, then tag whole photo batches to a consignor at once. Each item picks up a lot number in your next sale.
Point a camera at anything and the title, description, estimate, tags, and category all draft themselves in your house style. A 300-lot auction catalogs in an afternoon.
AfterHammer preps your whole auction, every listing and every photo, numbered and in order. You download it from AfterHammer onto your computer and upload it from your own Auction Ninja portal, and the auction is ready in about 30 seconds.
*Requires Auction Ninja support to enable CSV upload and FTP access. The AfterHammer team will walk you through getting this set up.
On Auction Ninja, exactly like today. Your bidders notice nothing.
Export your results and invoices from Auction Ninja and drop them in. Every order is created, every buyer matched, and every email kept for good, so you only ask once.
Filter every order by status in a click, so whatever needs work, packing, charging, a label, jumps to the top with the fix right on the row. The demo below is live. Click around.
Pull orders in the back by photo, release them up front with an ID check and one tap, and every screen stays in sync, whether one person runs it all from a phone or you split the two jobs across your whole crew.
Drop in your auction results and every lot finds its consignor, your commission terms apply themselves, and every statement drafts itself, so the math is right and nobody gets paid twice or missed.
Pickup orders wait in the Stage queue. Anyone in the back opens one on their phone and pulls by photo. Tap the circle as each item comes off the shelf, or tap the photo to see it full-screen. A Pulled button advances you to the next item on its own.
Tag where it's staged, then move on. "Table B" is one tap from your recent spots. Add more people and the queue just moves faster: everyone's pulls merge, and nobody overwrites anybody.
The front table already knows. Counters tick live and the buyer's card flips to a green STAGED · TABLE B pill the second it saves. No refresh, no radio.
The buyer walks up. Search their name and check their ID against the address on screen. If the order is unpaid, tap cash, card, or other, and release unlocks with the payment method recorded.
Run the checklist, tap once, done. Items pulled in the back arrive already checked, and Release Order gives you a 10-second Undo instead of a pop-up. If a buyer arrives before anyone pulled their order, no problem: grab the items straight from the same checklist and release.
The portal shows you each sale, but nothing connects to anything else. AfterHammer is the connective tissue: every item, every order, every dollar, one continuous record.
The portal runs auctions. AfterHammer runs the auction house.
AfterHammer works in conjunction with your Auction Ninja account. It doesn't directly interface with it, it doesn't replace it, and it isn't affiliated with it.
I would never go back. I want to do more business with any auction house running this.
As a consignor, this is a total gamechanger. I can track every item I have consigned right through the pipeline, from intake to sold, and see all of my payouts in one place. I never have to ask where something stands, and I never have to take anyone's word for it. That kind of transparency is exactly what earns a consignor's trust, and it is why I will happily send more to any house that runs it.

We onboard the first houses personally, with the setup fee waived and a monthly rate that never rises.
Annual billing: two months free. Extra catalog scans past your plan run a few cents each, billed only as used. Founding houses: setup fee waived.
Founding spots are limited, because we onboard every house personally. If the portal is where your patience goes to die, come see the other side.
