Custom software and workflow tools from Potent Technology.

Flagship product · PotentONE Auctions
One auction. Anywhere.
Run one online or hybrid auction for people in the room and people bidding remotely. Open early, collect donor items, review submissions, bid by phone, close on schedule, and generate winners from the same auction.
PotentONE keeps a smaller public set of working builds for client work, food ordering, and venue operations. Overlapping ideas stay in the incubator until they are merged into something stronger or earn their own product.

The Potent Standard
Technology support should be easier to buy
Clear scope, clear price, approval before spending, and a useful record when the work is done.
Flat Fee First
When the work can be scoped, you get the price before the repair or project starts.
The Quote Is the Price
Normal approved payment methods do not make the quoted price go up.
Approval Before Spending
No surprise parts, subscriptions, or expanded work without your approval first.
Clear Closeout
When the case is done, you get a clear record of what was found, fixed, and tested.
