About
AuctionLayout.ai is a product from Twisted Toast Digital (Pty) Ltd, a boutique South African digital marketing agency with deep experience in building digital applications that work. Founded in 2011, the agency has delivered automated systems for the wealth and investment advice sector, the healthcare industry and for live online auction management, alongside its wide range of expert marketing services. AuctionLayout.ai sits in the same line of work: Software for industries where the deadline is real and the stakes are the revenue line of the whole year.
Wildlife auctions are one of those industries. A single-day event can turn over tens of millions of rand. The catalogue that drives it is typically assembled over four weeks, by one person, from WhatsApp photos and spreadsheets forwarded by email. The cost of that chain is not just time. It is errors on the auction floor, breeders pulled away from the farm and design studios billing by the week instead of shipping by the deadline.
We think the right answer is not a better template. It is a platform where the lot data is kept in one place for everyone to trust, and the catalogue is a download from that data. Same price whether you want the designed catalogue PDF, a clean Excel file with photos or both.
The platform is being built around the way South African wildlife auctions run. That means fast turnaround, print-ready PDFs and POPIA-compliant processing. The feedback loop is short, the requirements are specific to the South African wildlife sector and the workflows are informed by detailed inspection of recent live and timed auction catalogues from across the industry.
The catalogue is a byproduct of clean, structured lot data. Get the data right and the PDF and the Excel register fall into place on the same day the last lot is confirmed.
Built in South Africa for South African auction workflows. Rand billing, POPIA-compliant processing, a wildlife-only species list and catalogue templates shaped by current wildlife auction industry workflows.
Twisted Toast Digital (Pty) Ltd operates from 7 Cadiz Crescent, Dainfern Ridge, 2191. VAT 4600260048. Company registration 2011/007466/07.
