Connecting the World of Robots

We started out as advisors back in 2017. We were helping companies figure out their robot potential, do their business cases and finding the right suppliers for their needs.

It very quickly became obvious to us that buyers were struggling with finding the right place to start. And it was hard to find suppliers with experience in the particular field of the buyer.

Most buyers looked for suppliers very locally and didn’t always achieve what they were hoping for. We also saw that the clients’ demands and specifications were made by people not used to dealing with robots. In other words, this created confusion and projects that took way too long and with too many disappointed parties.
