Gobid Group

What Gobid Group does

Gobid Group (legal entity: Gobid International Auction Group S.r.l.) is an Italy-headquartered online auction house operating since 2012. The company runs a proprietary network of two vertical marketplaces — Gobid.it for movable assets (vehicles, machinery, equipment, nautical, fashion stocks, intangibles) and Gobidreal.it for real estate assets (residential, commercial, industrial, land, business transfers) — supplemented by a wholly-owned nautical network (CNM&CO shipyard and RYB international brokerage). Underlying technology is built in-house and includes AI-powered translation in 28+ languages and 7 Italian regional dialects, 3D virtual tours, virtual data rooms, and asset analytics/monitoring software that automates the auction lifecycle from planning through post-sale.

The company's go-to-market targets Italian insolvency practitioners (curatori, liquidatori giudiziali), 109 affiliated Italian courts (76% of national coverage), banks and leasing companies liquidating repossessed assets, NPL servicers and investment funds, public entities disposing of disused assets, and private sellers. Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) transaction fees/commissions on asset sales via the platforms, (2) professional services for insolvency and NPL management (valuation, agency opinion, auction facilitation, advisory, monitoring), and (3) customized technology solutions including software development and digitization. The company operates a field-sales GTM reinforced by 40+ annual conferences and a network of professional association partnerships (ODCEC, OCC). Pricing is quote-based and tailored per engagement.

Gobid Group holds regulated status as electronic sales manager (gestore delle vendite telematiche, registration n. 8, P.D.G. 24 October 2017) with the Italian Ministry of Justice under D.M. 32/2015, is registered as a legal advertising website across all Court of Appeal districts (P.D.G. 02.12.2016), and is certified to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001 standards. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding rounds and operates from a registered office in Milan plus an operational headquarters in Matelica. Headcount is reported at 43-74 across sources, and the group claims €2 billion in assets managed across its platforms.
