Internal auction software for small businesses

Run employee auctions without overcomplicating the process.

IntraBids is a lightweight PHP/MySQL auction site built for internal business use. Let employees register, authorize trusted users to create auctions, organize items by category, and automatically close auctions when time runs out.

Tip: for the direct download button to always work, upload the latest release asset to GitHub using the filename IntraBids-latest.zip.

What it does

Built around the way internal auctions actually work.

IntraBids avoids unnecessary approval workflows. A global admin authorizes trusted auction creators, and those users can post items directly.

User accounts

Employees can register, log in, browse active auctions, bid, and view their own auction activity.

Creator permissions

Global admins can grant selected registered users permission to create and manage auctions.

Timed auctions

Auctions support start and end times, scheduled listings, active bidding, recently ended auctions, and automatic winner selection.

Categories

Items can be organized by category, with category filters and visible item counts for easier browsing.

SMTP email

Use a configured SMTP account for bid, winner, and auction-ending notifications.

Admin settings

Configure site title, logo, timezone, recently ended window, SMTP settings, and other global options.
