Copied to clipboard

3.4. Customer Functionalities on the Platform

3.4.1. Projects

Based upon the HowToRobot tools, the Customer can create a project as a Request for quotes. Request for quotes supports the process of finding components, training, service/maintenance and getting a quote for the Solution through placing a request on the HowToRobot. Creating a Request for quote can be initiated by the Customer in two (2) ways; manually or using AI-tool.

Manually: When using the manual process, the Customer is guided through step to fill out the required information. It is the Customer's sole responsibility that the information provided is correct and accurate.

AI-tool: When using the HowToRobot AI-tool the Customer is guided through an AI-generated series of questions with the intention of providing sufficient information about the Customers Project. All AI-generated information such as questions, assumptions, calculations and recommendations is solely based on the Customers information provided to the AI-tool. 

Prior to publication on the Platform, HowToRobot may review each Request for Quote (RQ) to ensure that the content does not appear to be false, misleading, offensive, abusive, or otherwise inappropriate. If the RQ is approved, it will be published on the Platform. Approval by HowToRobot for publication does not constitute any verification, endorsement, or guarantee of the accuracy, completeness, legality, or suitability of the information contained in the RQ. The Customer remains solely responsible for all content provided in the RQ.

Request for quotes consist of the following main phases:

  1. Request for quote (RQ):

The Customer briefly describes the Project scope, which must be sufficient for Suppliers to Express their interest to the Project. The description can be made manually or using HowToRobots AI-tool. In case a third-party, on behalf of the Customer creates the RQ, the Customer will be provided with a validation and approval of the RQ before published.

  1. Expression of Interest (EoI): 

Based upon the Customers RQ the Suppliers submit their EoI towards the described Customer Project.

3.4.2. Budgetary Quote:

As part of the Customers selection process, the Customer select one or more Suppliers to submit budgetary quotes. The Supplier submits their preliminary budgetary quote and proposal based upon the Customer's project description. The Customer uses the tools “Budgetary Quotes” to review the incoming budgetary quotes and select Suppliers towards the final quote and proposal dialogue.

Copied to clipboard

5. Project on HowToRobot

A Customer can create Projects as Request for Quotes, by using the Platform Functionalities. When using these Functionalities, it is the Customer's sole responsibility to ensure that all information regarding the Project is correct and non-confidential. Upon receiving Expression of Interest from Suppliers, Customer must fully register to use the Platform.

All Projects will be Published globally without geographical limitations. This means that HowToRobot can’t prohibit or limit that a Publish Project, including project information, will be matched and partly visible to Claimed Suppliers outside the Customers country. The Customer acknowledges that any approved Request for Quote, whether approved by the Customer or on their behalf, constitutes their approval and that the project and all relevant information will be published globally on the Platform.

All Claimed Suppliers will have limited access to all published Projects. HowToRobot will not be able to limit a Project to only be published, and therefore visible, to Claimed or Premium Suppliers who are matched by HowToRobot.

Copied to clipboard

5.2. Project Publication

A project is considered published when the buyer actively selects the “Publish” function within the HowToRobot platform.

  • maintain the quality and integrity of the platform
  • prevent spam or fraudulent project submissions
  • ensure projects contain sufficient information for supplier evaluation

HowToRobot may delay publication, request clarification, or refuse publication of projects that appear incomplete, misleading, or unrelated to legitimate automation sourcing needs.

This review is conducted solely for platform quality purposes. It does not constitute technical validation, verification, or endorsement of the project or its contents. Buyers remain solely responsible for all information submitted in connection with their projects.

7. Key Commitments

HowToRobot, provide a Platform for Customers with the best tools and resources to help you succeed with your Project.
