Thank you to every manager who plans the work, and every professional who does it. Plan your project's budget in seconds. It's free, and you don't need an account.

So what does that mean for you? Maintenance, engineering and project managers, you walk into the planning meeting with a number. Integrators and service companies, you can size a crew and watch what it costs as you go. And professionals, you see the rates suggested for your kind of work, where you work, and then you set your own.

This is the Rate and Cost Calculator. Pick the kind of work, like robot programming or PLC programming. Then drag the sliders: how many weeks, how many hours a week, and how many people on the team. And pick the state where the work is.

The estimate moves the moment you change anything. On the right, what the project could cost through Automate America, beside building it in-house. And an estimate of what you could save. Below that, suggested hourly rates for base hours, overtime, and Sundays and holidays.

It's an estimate to plan a budget, never a quote. On Automate America, every professional sets their own rate, on their own profile. And when you post work, you set the rates you'll pay.

Here's what happens next. Click Find Automation Professionals, and see the people who do this work. Request someone by name, from their profile, or post the work, free. Thank you for trusting us with your next project.

A standard request connects you with them, and you're charged $10 only if they respond, whether they accept or decline. Or choose White Glove, and we run the whole thing. We handle the 1099s. We pay the professional. We invoice you, as a traditional B2B transaction. We become your supplier of record, for thousands of professionals and service companies. When you request someone with White Glove, you see the price before you send it. For White Glove contracts, you pay what you choose, no more. No hidden fees, no memberships, no subscriptions. We take a small percentage of the rate you post, before we show it to the community. That makes White Glove a great free option for both sides.

There's no risk in requesting or applying, ever. Nothing is committed until the customer clicks Hire, or the professional clicks Accept Offer.

A project budget usually starts with calls to staffing companies, and a quote you wait for. Here, you have an estimate in seconds, on your own, before you call anyone.

Plan the work, find the people, and hire them, all on one network. This is the future of work.
