Can schools and public institutions order via official invoice (Purchase Order)?

Yes, absolutely. We regularly work with public schools, universities, research institutes, and municipal educational authorities across Germany and worldwide.

We understand that public institutions often cannot use credit cards or direct online checkout. We offer a streamlined procurement process:

How to order via Purchase Order (PO):

  1. Request an Official Quote: Send an email to team@pib.rocks stating the desired product (e.g., pib.Edubox or pib.Makerbox), quantity, and your institution’s full billing/shipping address.
  2. Receive your Formal Offer: We will issue a formal, non-binding quote/estimate (including e-invoicing standards such as XRechnung or ZUGFeRD with your required Leitweg-ID if applicable).
  3. Submit your Official PO: Once approved by your administration or school board, email us your official signed purchase order.
  4. Delivery & Payment on Account: We ship your order with an official invoice payable via standard bank transfer within next 14 or 30 days.

Educational Grants & Funding:

pib boxes are fully eligible for funding through STEM grants and national digitization programs (such as the DigitalPakt Schule in Germany).
