Customer VoicesWhat Operators Say About RaaS
Staples Canada
“The pay back is tremendous, and the RaaS-based model really allows us to be capital light in implementing state of the art robotics.”
“The ability to scale, especially with the RaaS model, and be able to get in flex bots whenever we need, and to then adjust the personnel ratio to those bots is our number one scalability. It’s easy as a partnership because we can say these are the volumes that we expect and then we can bring in more.”
“We work in a super seasonal environment, which means that we have insane volume peaks around Black Friday, Cyber Monday. Then we have valleys, then peaks again when new seasonal goods come in from our customers. That’s where Locus Robotics helps us scale up and down through the intelligent [RaaS] model. It’s significantly more flexible than relying on a fixed automation system.”
“Manual wins on day one, but it loses by day ten. You need automation… that can flex every single hour of every single day.”
