Case studies
These are real automation projects that were scoped, tested and priced before anyone signed a contract. Every one of them ran through HowToRobot — the global procurement platform behind AutomationFinder — and every one of them changed the buyer's decision.

Validated outcomes
Each of these started the same way yours would — a rough idea, a structured brief, and the market answering back.
A large-scale bakery suspected its packing line was costing it money but had no way to size the prize. A structured validation put real numbers against the opportunity and the capital required — turning a hunch into a board-ready business case.
A producer needed to know whether pallet inspection could be automated, and roughly what it would cost, before committing to a capital round. Budgetary quotes from qualified suppliers landed in under three weeks — no procurement team required.
The first number this manufacturer was quoted looked like the market rate. Opening the same brief to a competing field of vetted suppliers cut the cost of the identical scope roughly in half — the difference between a project that stalls and one that gets approved.
A major hospital needed to move goods around the clock without adding staff. Rather than trusting a single vendor's word, the requirement went to the market as one brief — and the fleet size, technology and supplier were validated before a single robot arrived.
Outcomes delivered through the HowToRobot platform. Figures originally reported in other currencies have been converted to Australian dollars and are indicative. Results vary by project, scope and site.
The pattern
Each buyer described the problem in plain language and let the market propose the solution — instead of specifying a machine they had already been sold on.
The same brief went to multiple vetted suppliers in the same format, so the quotes that came back were genuinely comparable.
Feasibility, price and supplier capability were all confirmed before capital was approved. Walking away stayed an option the whole way through.
