Snoofa - Modules

Snoofa has lots of different parts, & sometimes it can be confusing how it all fits together. But don’t worry, be confused no more, because in this article we’ll aim to show you what the different elements are, & what exactly they do.

Essentially there are three main parts that you need to know about:

• The Admin Module

• The Web Module

• The Client Zone

For a detailed diagram of how the different sections fit together, take a look here at the Snoofa Ecosystem. 

Admin Module

The Admin Module is just techy-speak for your Back Office Software. It is the core of Snoofa, what you as a registered User will spend most of the time using, as it runs your day-to-day auctioneering operations. If you’re doing any task to do with the Auction process, you’ll be in the Admin Module. Anything from dealing with Consignments (receipts) to managing Invoices.

As a Snoofa Admin/User, you’ll have your Login details & your own settings. You can also set up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for extra account security, which we’d always recommend. See how to Enable Two-Factor Authentication.

The Admin Module is not accessible to your end Clients & Bidders. This is for auction house staff only. Essentially, if you can see the below menu on your left, after Login, you’re in the Admin Module.

Web Module

The Web Module is the term for all of the pages on your website that are run by Snoofa. This differs from the the rest of your website that will be run on a separate server. 

You can tell a Snoofa run page on your website because it will have app. prefixing the web address, e.g. app.auctionhousename.com, these pages are designed to match the style of the rest of the website, so users wouldn’t necessarily notice any difference.

Any pages that are to do with Auction Catalogues or bidding will be Snoofa run & part of the Web Module.

Client Zone

As the name suggests, the Client Zone is an area of your website where Clients are able to have their own account & manage all of their interactions with your auction house.

All Clients will have their own Login credentials, known only to them. Both Buyers & Vendors can use the Client Zone, with one Account that includes both functions.

Clients are able to make changes within their Client Zone & these will in turn be reflected in the relevant places within the Admin Module e.g. if a Client updates their address in the Client Zone this will update in their Client Detail, within the Admin Module.

The Client Zone includes:

• A section for managing Online Valuations

• A section for managing Valuation Appointments

• A section for viewing & adding Auction Registrations

• A section for buying, where bids placed can be seen & Invoices viewed, & paid

• A section for keeping track of items being sold
