• Ratings and feedback are public records of client satisfaction, and inspire great performance

Project Tool enables consumers and companies to describe their job requirements, set a budget range, request specific skill sets, and start receiving proposals from technical service providers quickly.

This tool also arms you with the ability to manage multiple jobs, conduct real-time interviewing, proposal evaluation, hiring and collaboration and streamline communications.

Terms of Service are agreed upon from the beginning by both parties. These terms are set by InnoEngineer and cannot be altered.

Status Reports are project updates submitted by engineers, with a record of work completed.

Escrow facilitates safe payment on fixed price work while building confidence between both parties. Project Owners can pre-fund the work to enable work to get started. As work gets received and approved, payment gets released to the engineer. This ensures to the engineer that funds are held and available upon completion of the work.

Escrow account feature is not offered and used for service categories(Auto Repair, Audio Technician, Appliance Repair, Bicycle Repair, Clock Repair, Computer Repair, Car Stereo Installation, Electronics Repair, Heating & Air Conditioning Technician, Home Repairs, Home TV/Stereo Installation, Motorcycle Repair, Solar Panel Technician, Watch Repair, Video Technician, Welding Technician)

The most important feature of the Project Management Tool which is used only at engineering projects not at consumer service categories is the project itself, which is awarded by the customer. Specific project details include messages, tasks, milestones, and files. However, users can have access to multiple projects simultaneously, no matter whether they are customer or technical service provider. This allows users the ability to work on several projects at a time and to ensure that providers & customers can collaborate on the same project.

• Step1: Create some milestones
• Project management is about getting things done in a specified amount of time. As a result, your first action will is defining some milestones for the specific project.Tasks tell people what to do - milestones tell them when something is due. A milestone is just a date with a title and a description, but you can assign task lists and messages to a milestone. This gives Project Management tool the necessary information to remind the project team if something is overdue. Additionally, the Project Management Tool offers automatic e-mail reminders for each user's specific duty.
• Step2: Create some task lists (and tasks)
• Now let's specify what has to be done. Create at least one task list and enter some tasks. It's your choice if you assign the task list to a milestone. But you should absolutely assign each task to a user; otherwise, the task will be neglected.
step3: Create some messages
• The Project Management Tool allows for collaboration. Collaboration is best achieved through communication. So create a message, welcome everybody to the project, tell something about the project and the people working on it, and give some directions about how people should use the tool.
• step4: Create folders and upload files
• It's a good practice to store all relevant documents in one place. Project Management Tool offers a simple document management system. This allows users to create folders and upload files that are crucial for the project and version control. Working with revisions lets you keep track of changes and makes it possible to go back to an earlier version of a document if necessary. Users can comment on files as well and even attach their own files to it.
• step5: Explore advanced features like tags, private messages, and forms
• If you got that far, we are confident that you will find your way through Project Management tool on your own. Simply explore tagging, private messages, forms, and other things the software has to offer

Project owners and providers are responsible for payments of all local, state, and federal taxes.

InnoEngineer does not handle disputes between project owners and service providers at Auto Repair, Audio Technician, Appliance Repair, Bicycle Repair, Clock Repair, Computer Repair, Car Stereo Installation, Electronics Repair, Heating & Air Conditioning Technician, Home Repairs, Home TV/Stereo Installation, Motorcycle Repair, Solar Panel Technician, Watch Repair, Video Technician, Welding Technician service categories. InnoEngineer is not responsible for the accuracy of the information provided by service providers and project owners. Projects owners and technical service providers use the information provided at their own discretion and judgment. The project owner and service providers are responsible for screening and evaluating their bids and projects. It's rare, but sometimes there are disagreements between Project owner and engineers on engineering contracts and there is a dispute over the number of hours worked. We encourage Project owners and engineers to work out the problem, but InnoEngineer will step in and moderate if there is a need. InnoEngineer will not evaluate the quality of work, but will focus on a careful review of all time logged to ensure the engineer was working on your project and following all policies and best practices. Funds are released solely at the project owner's discretion.

A well-written and thoughtfully crafted project description is a great way to attract the technical talent with the right skills and expertise for your job. We recommend that you take some time to plan out exactly what you need done. The more specific you are, the more likely you are to find a provider who will meet your needs. If you need assistance formulating your ideas network with technical service providers using the forums in the Professional Networking Tool.

Featured Posts get extra attention and stand out to high-quality technical talent. Featuring your job post is a great way to attract high quality proposals from the most experienced technical service providers on InnoEngineer. There is a cost associated with Featured Posts.

When posting a job, you have the option to allow providers view each others' proposals or keep them hidden by "Sealing" the proposals. Sealing the proposal process helps ensure you receive customized proposals from each provider with details visible only to you.

InnoEngineer InnoEngineer Escrow is a free service that protects both the project owner and the engineer at engineering projects and it is not used at consumer service categories (Auto Repair, Audio Technician, Appliance Repair, Bicycle Repair, Clock Repair, Computer Repair, Car Stereo Installation, Electronics Repair, Heating & Air Conditioning Technician, Home Repairs, Home TV/Stereo Installation, Motorcycle Repair, Solar Panel Technician, Watch Repair, Video Technician, Welding Technician categories.) The Project owner's funds are held securely until the services are provided satisfactorily by the provider. The provider can begin working on a job knowing that the employer has provided the funding into the Escrow account.

Invite-Only allows project owners to chose who they want to bid. Sometimes an project owner may be familiar with a provider's work, or see a profile they like, and want to limit their job's proposals to these parties. Only invited providers may submit proposals on this type of job. At any time, the project owner can change the job status and open it to proposals from all engineers.

Just make your expectations clearly known in the Job Description. If a technical service provider bids on your job but does not meet your defined expectations, then this bid is invalid. You can select or reject any bids.

After you have selected a proposal and hired a technical service provider, you will find your project in project management tool. You can ask engineer milestones and payment terms before work begins to avoid any miscommunication or delays .However, you or the engineer are free to update the milestones an task at any time during the project.

To help ensure a successful job, ask your provider to set milestones and send you a weekly status report through InnoEngineer's Project Management Tool. Managing work on InnoEngineer is similar to managing any professional services engagement: communicate often, provide prompt feedback, pay when agreed and submit objective feedback.

This is up to you. Project owners and providers may communicate publicly via the Project management tool or privately through the Private Messages. You can also communicate directly with the technical service provider, however InnoEngineer recommends that you use the InnoEngineer Project Management tool to manage your Project and keep all communications in one place and to maintain a time-stamped, unalterable record of all clarifications and agreements around scope, deliverables, milestones, timeframes, etc. In the event of a dispute, the project management messages maybe be the only record of communication that is referenceable for resolution of the dispute.

InnoEngineer gives you the option to re-list your job post. We allow you to re-list it at no charge.

Innoengineer allows the upload of most common file types at equal or less than 1024x768 pixel resolution. Image formats include jpg, jpeg, gif, png. Explanatory documents include doc, txt, pdf, .dwg, odf, zip, rar, ppt, jpg, jpeg, gif, png. We will not allow the upload of programs or any content which is potentially harmful to the operation of InnoEngineer servers. Please contact us if there is a specific file type you want us to include.

We do everything that we can to ensure successful results, but ultimately, there is no way that we can *guarantee* the quality of work. We believe the Project owner and the technical service provider have a shared responsibility to work toward a successful outcome and InnoEngineer's role is to provide all the tools and support possible to help.

You can cancel the job before a technical service provider has been hired or afterwards, if the engineer agrees. If there are funds remaining in Escrow they will be refunded to the Employer once both parties agree to the new terms.

First you need to fund the Escrow which deposits funds in the Innoengineer Escrow, where your funds will be held safely until you and the engineer agree to release them. You do this by depositing funds into your innoengineer account and then funding Escrow using the same account. Next, you will need to release those funds upon review and acceptance of the work. ALL RELEASES ARE FINAL. MAKE SURE YOU ARE SATISFIED WITH THE DELIVERABLES BEFORE RELEASING PAYMENT. Never pay a provider outside of the innoengineer payment system as it increases risk for you, and it is a violation of our Terms and Conditions.

After the engineer finishes the project, you can release fun from the "my posting activity" dashboard.

Project owner may use an authenticated credit card, or PayPal. We expect to add more payment options in the near future.

Leaving feedback helps other members of the innoengineer community properly evaluate each other when considering to engage in a job, and by using InnoEngineer you agree to also leave feedback about the provider on our system. When giving feedback, consider the impact that your comments and rating will have on the reputation of the technical service provider: be fair and objective.

After finish project you can leave feedback from posting activity dashboard.
