Key Terms and Concepts
So we speak the same language: Here you can find explanations of the most important terms and concepts we use during the project phase.
Service Packet
The Service Packet functions as your shopping cart, holding all the services you have selected for purchase. It is represented by a box icon located beneath each service in the marketplace, and can also be accessed on the right side of your screen.
Service Tags
Service Tags are relevant keywords associated with each service. Clicking on one of these tags will immediately direct you to related services. You can find these tags below the search bar in the marketplace, as well as at the top of individual service pages. Use the "Show more" or "Show less" buttons to expand or collapse the list of tags.
Navigator
The Navigator acts as your central menu to seamlessly move through the MetaXD Ecosystem (MetaXD, CrowdxDigital, and CrowdXD). You can open the Navigator by clicking the MetaXD icon in the top-left corner of the webpage.
Category Filter
The Category Filter displays all the distinct clusters within MetaXD. When you select a specific cluster, the system automatically filters and displays all the services that belong to that group.
Phase 1: Exploration & Selection (The Marketplace)
The entry point is the digital marketplace. Here, the user gets an overview of the available offerings and selects the digital services needed for their project.
Browsing: The user navigates through categories such as “Construction Manufacturing Automation” or “Digital Transformation” and sees various service tiles (e.g. “BIM Services,” “Strategic Consulting,” “GIS Services”).
Service package: By clicking the package icon, the user adds relevant services to their personal service package, which remains permanently visible as a sidebar on the right.
Trigger: By clicking “Customize Request” in the service package, the user starts the checkout process for the RFQ. → Create Request
With the assembled service package, the user creates a request. Via “Customize Request,” they can specify their requirements and start the request for quotation (RFQ).
Phase 2: Your request for quotation in 4 steps
Our proven digital solutions and our network of experts simplify complex processes. They increase your efficiency, promote sustainability, and help your project reach its goal faster.
Step 1: Project details (The framework):
Clarifying the basic conditions. So we can find exactly the right experts for you, we need your core information in the first step. Under “Request Details,” you simply enter the following:
Your customer details: Who are you and how can we reach you? (Name, company, email, phone number, and address). Tip: If you already have an account with us, you can conveniently select an existing profile here.
Your project details: The key facts about your project (title, location, address, and a short description). These details are essential for identifying the ideal talent for you.
Step 2: Service Configurator (The Details)
Bring your services into focus. Here, you specify each selected service in detail (such as “BIM Management” or “Strategic Consulting”). You have two options:
Proven templates: Make it easy for yourself by selecting a suitable template from the dropdown menu, with our recommended default settings for standard requirements.
Custom adjustments: Add specific requirements manually or flexibly adapt the templates to reflect your project in a tailored way.
Step 3: Additional Information (Your Documents & Notes)
Provide important context. The more we know about your project, the more accurately our experts can estimate the required effort. Use this section to complete the full picture for us:
Documents: Easily upload important files such as requirement specifications, plans, or BIM models via drag and drop.
Free text (Notes): A large text field gives you space for any additional details and comments that did not fit into the previous steps.
Step 4: Summary (Review & Submit)
Check everything and get started. Take one final look at your information. In the clear summary, you can review your request details (customer and project data), the exact service configuration, and your uploaded documents all at a glance. Everything looks right? With one click on “Send,” you complete your request and securely hand the project over to us.
