Simulcast 2 FAQ's

During our rollout, both versions of Simulcast will be in use. Check the auction list on the website – if the auction has this icon  next to it, you will need to use the new version of Simulcast. Otherwise, you’ll need to use the old version.

Once you have logged into Simulcast the first time, you can bookmark or favourite the address to your browser and go directly to the auctions from then on.

If you cannot see the buyer or seller portal buttons and you believe you should be authorised for this access, please contact the online support centre on 1800 001 278.

Once you’re signed into Simulcast there should be no need for you to refresh the screen. If you do hit refresh, Simulcast will sign you out of your current session and you will need to sign back in again.

For security and auditing purposes, each sign in is assigned to an individual and can only be used with one device or browser at a time.

If you cannot use the ‘Enter Sale’ buttons after you have logged in, try hitting Ctrl + F5 to refresh your session. However, if you are using Internet Explorer 9, this will not work – you should use Chrome or a later version of Internet Explorer.

If you found the vehicle on our website take note of the sale description in either:

The auction catalogue view:

Or the vehicle details view:

You will see the same auction description when viewing the list of sales in Simulcast.

You can get this information from your account executive or if you have access to our ‘Vehicle Information Management’ portal (VIMS) it’s also available there. You can also use our manheim.com.au/manheim.co.nz and search for your vehicles.

If you are banned, this will take effect immediately. If your rights have changed (e.g. removal of or addition to your representation), you will need to sign out and back in again for the change to take effect.

The auction title should describe this for you, and the ‘Enter Sale’ buttons are colour-coded.

You can participate in multiple auctions using the desktop and tablet versions of Simulcast 2. From a Smartphone, you can only view one auction at a time.

You can see the lots you bought in the current auction under ‘Winning Lots’, and all of the lots you have bought on the day in the top right corner ‘Show Purchases Today’.

You can see the lots you sold in the current auction under ‘Auction Results’, and all of the lots you have sold on the day in the top right corner ‘Show Today’s Auction Results’.
