DEMAND EXCHANGE

No software covers your need? Don’t build it alone.

Present the expected result to the Neoo team. We first check what already exists, then explore the right mode with you: a private build, a need shared with other companies or an open call to partners.

The button opens a request for a conversation: no order, no funding and no automatic build.

  • Private Build
  • Shared Build
  • Open Bounty

THE REALITY

Between off-the-shelf and custom, your need goes unanswered.

Market software covers the essentials; custom development puts the whole cost on a single company. In between, the need waits.

Common situations

01

Nothing quite fits

Market tools cover the essentials, rarely the rule specific to your trade.

02

Custom work alone is costly

A build for a single company carries the whole design and maintenance cost.

03

It may already exist

A similar feature is sometimes available, configurable or already built for another client.

04

Others share the problem

Companies in the same sector often look for the same thing, each on their own.

THREE BUILD MODES

Three ways to build, depending on your need.

The model provides three modes. Feasibility, confidentiality, usage rights and funding are agreed for each project; a request is neither an accepted quote nor a publication.

Marketplace in preparation
01

Private Build

Your need stays confidential and the build is dedicated to you.

  • A need to handle privately
  • Scope and quote to agree
  • Usage rights to define
  • No automatic publication
  • Maintenance and exit to scope
02

Shared Build

Several companies share the same need and its build.

  • A need shared by several parties
  • Each contribution to agree
  • Reuse requires permission
  • No financial benefit granted
  • Shared acceptance criteria to agree
03

Open Bounty

The need is published to bring together participants and qualified contributors.

  • Publishing the need requires permission
  • No collection on this page
  • Funding to agree
  • Contributors to qualify
  • Marketplace publication is separate

OPEN BOUNTY

Example: a need shared by several companies.

These figures are neither an open project nor an offer. The simulation collects no money, selects no provider and starts no build.

In a real shared project, each party’s participation, usage rights, timing and choice of builder are agreed in writing before any commitment.

PROCESS

From request to module, step by step.

Each step is decided with you. Software subscriptions, possible credits, scoping, build and maintenance are separated in the proposal; any publication remains a separate decision and no timing or funding is guaranteed at this stage.

A NEED TO COVER

Describe the expected result. We work out how to get there together.

The button opens Contact with the Demand Exchange topic selected. Describe an expected result without confidential customer data. Sending the form requests a conversation; it is neither an order nor a funding commitment.

Frequently asked questions

What does the request button do?

It opens Contact with Demand Exchange selected. You present a need to the team; the click starts no Forge project, payment or publication.

Which costs and rights need to be clarified?

Separate software, usage, scoping, one-off delivery and possible maintenance. The quote must define sharing, usage rights, responsibilities and exit terms. Forge pricing is not a delivery quote.

Does a request automatically become public?

No. Build mode and confidentiality are agreed before any publication.

What are contributions used for?

The model considers bringing participants together around a shared need. No amount, benefit, discount or access is granted here. Any funding terms must be agreed before a commitment; this page collects no contributions.

Who selects the builder?

Three paths are planned: build independently with Forge, build with a Solution Partner, or request delivery on an agreed quote. With the customer’s permission, complex requests can become consulting, integration or development opportunities for their partner of record.
