SHOMON AUTOMATIONS
Help shape the first community pilot.
A proposed neighborhood pilot in Lapu-Lapu City, shaped by residents, community teams, hosts, and local businesses.
We welcome conversations with residents, community teams, prospective host locations, and local businesses interested in helping us test useful neighborhood technology.
In development for staged community pilots in Lapu-Lapu City. Expressing interest begins a conversation; it is separate from confirmed acceptance.
Why participate?
Help shape technology around your neighborhood’s real needs—from simpler household requests to clearer community announcements.
Participants could:
- Identify useful tasks.
- Try proposed interfaces and workflows.
- Report confusing or unreliable behavior.
- Help prioritize improvements.
Our proposed learning process is Listen → Agree on useful tasks → Test → Review results → Improve. Residents and operators would help shape each step, with scope and responsibilities agreed before testing.
Who could participate
Residents who want simpler access to everyday essentials; community teams who handle local requests; prospective hosts with suitable spaces; and merchants or service providers interested in neighborhood workflows.
What the initial pilot is intended to test
Our proposed approach is to:
- Begin with a small, defined community setting.
- Test suitable HomeSafe-to-ResponderLink requests and announcements.
- Evaluate usability, message delivery, acknowledgment, power/connectivity behavior, and support requirements.
- Explore selected ShoGO transactions after the basic coordination workflow is dependable.
- Expand only after technical and operating evidence supports it.
Sending, receiving, acknowledgment, and fulfillment are separate stages. Measuring acknowledgment time will help us understand coordination; it will not establish an assistance arrival time. Supported tasks and responsibilities would be agreed before testing.

What participants could contribute
- Residents: feedback on everyday needs and device usability.
- Community teams: feedback on receiving and handling requests.
- Hosts: discussions about suitable locations, power, access, and maintenance.
- Merchants: discussions about eligible services and order workflows.
What participation might involve
Depending on the agreed role, participation could involve a needs conversation, a site assessment, trying supported tasks, reporting problems, or reviewing how requests are handled. Before participation, we would discuss scope, access, support responsibilities, information handling, and pilot terms.
Devices, services, and host arrangements depend on readiness and funding. Expressing interest does not reserve a free device or promise income. The proposed host placement program is described on the Solutions page.
How to start a conversation
The email template asks only for your name, participant role, barangay or general area, and what you would like to help test. These details are optional at this stage; please leave out full residential addresses, identification documents, payment details, and sensitive information.
We will review your message and discuss suitability and next steps. Participation depends on readiness, location, and agreed pilot terms.
