Why 3PLs Choose Locus RoboticsOperational Confidence in a World of Constant Change.

The world’s leading 3PLs choose Locus Robotics to deploy faster, scale throughput on demand, and adapt seamlessly to changing clients, workflows, and volumes, all on a single platform.

Increase Throughput. Scale With Confidence.

3PL margins depend on productivity and SLA performance. Locus robots increase pick rates 2–3x — across collaborative and fully autonomous deployments — so you can take on more volume, serve more clients, and protect margin without adding headcount.

Deploy in Weeks in New & Existing Facilities

Win a contract. Go live fast. Locus deploys in existing facilities without redesigns, infrastructure changes, or operational disruption — and scales into new sites on the same timeline. Get up and running in weeks, then expand as volumes grow.

Match Automation Capacity to Demand

Add robots as volumes grow. Expand for peaks, return to baseline when demand normalizes. No temp labor, no training lag, no missed SLAs — just scalable throughput that moves with your business.

Redeploy Robots Across Your Network

When a contract ends or volumes shift, move your Locus fleet to where it’s needed most. No stranded assets, no sunk costs — capital that keeps working across every site in your network.

Invest As You Grow With RaaS

Pay a predictable subscription based on the fleet size you need — scale up for peaks, back when volume normalizes. No CapEx, no stranded assets, no long depreciation cycles. Most customers see ROI within 6–12 months.

Run Multiple Clients & Workflows With One Fleet

One Locus fleet serves multiple clients simultaneously — each with their own workflows, pick logic, and SLAs. Use the same fleet for picking, putaway, and returns. No separate systems, no operational silos.

Solving PeakMeet Peak Demand Without The Temp Labor Hiring Rush

The Locus FlexBot Program

The Locus FlexBot program enables operators to scale automation capacity on demand during peak periods—without the challenges of rapidly recruiting, training, and managing large temporary workforces.

How it works:

  1. Forecast Peak Requirements Our team works with you to determine the exact number of robots needed to achieve your projected throughput goals.

  2. FlexBots Delivered to Your Facility Our robots are delivered directly to your warehouse ahead of peak season.

  3. Rapid Deployment The robots are pre-loaded with your warehouse workflows and quickly deployable, adding capacity in days, not months.

  4. Scale Through Peak Increase throughput and fulfillment capacity and meet SLAs without a proportional increase in headcount.

  5. Return When Peak Ends Once demand returns to normal, the robots are shipped back to Locus and you return to operating your core fleet.

Every year, Locus deploys thousands of FlexBots worldwide, helping customers meet peak demand while maintaining service levels, reducing operational complexity, and avoiding the temporary labor crunch.

Built To Handle Any Environment. No Facility Redesign Required.
