Instock is a 2020-founded warehouse robotics company selling automated storage and retrieval strictly as a service. Its gravity-defying mobile robots and modular grid target eCommerce and third-party logistics fulfillment with zero upfront installation cost.

Backed by the Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund, One Way Ventures, and Lux Capital, the company reached production with a North American 3PL in January 2024. Watch throughput execution and capacity expansion as the service model scales across customer warehouses.

Instock sells its automation strictly as a service with no installation or maintenance charges. Customers pay quarterly for the storage and throughput capacity they consume, keeping upfront capital costs at zero.

The Robotics-as-a-Service model scales cost with usage, so eCommerce and third-party logistics operators add capacity as order volume grows. Pricing follows consumed storage and throughput rather than equipment purchases or fixed automation contracts.

Instock delivers a fully as-a-Service automated storage and retrieval system built on a modular static grid with autonomous mobile robots. The robots drive on floors, walls, and ceilings to present storage bins to ground-level workstations for eCommerce and third-party logistics operators.

The system uses a high-fidelity simulator for warehouse design and a software-driven self-service architecture. Customers are billed quarterly for storage and throughput capacity with no installation or maintenance charges under a Robotics-as-a-Service model.
