The #1 barrier to robot deployment isn't belief โ€” it's budget classification.

Many facility managers know a robot pays back in under 18 months, but can't get CapEx approved. RaaS puts the decision in the operations budget โ€” where it belongs.

What's included

Everything covered. One invoice.

The monthly rate is all-in. No hidden parts bills. No surprise service calls. No software license fees on top.

๐Ÿ’ต

Zero capital outlay

No six-figure purchase order. RaaS converts a CapEx decision into a predictable monthly operating expense โ€” easier to approve, easier to budget.

๐Ÿ”ง

Maintenance included

Hardware maintenance, parts, and labor are covered. When something needs servicing, we handle it. Consumables (brushes, squeegees, filters) are not bundled โ€” usage varies too much by facility โ€” but are available for purchase through Sproutmation.

๐Ÿ”„

Technology refresh

Multi-year agreements include upgrade rights. When a next-generation model is available, we swap your unit โ€” you're never stuck on aging hardware.

๐Ÿ“Š

RFM fleet software included

Every RaaS deployment includes Sproutmation RFM โ€” our fleet management platform for real-time monitoring, job scheduling, usage reports, and remote diagnostics. Included free for the full term of your RaaS agreement.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Performance guarantee

If a robot is down for more than 48 hours due to a hardware fault, we credit your account. We're accountable for uptime because your cleaning can't stop.

๐Ÿ“ž

Dedicated local support

Not a call center. Sproutmation operates locally โ€” same-day or next-day response for on-site issues. We're close enough to care about your deployment.

Pricing

Simple, transparent tiers

The process

From conversation to clean floors in 4 steps

01

Demo + facility assessment

We visit your facility, walk the floor plan, and recommend the right robot models and count for your square footage and use case. No obligation. Takes about an hour.

02

Custom RaaS proposal

We prepare a written proposal covering monthly rate, equipment specs, SLA terms, and projected labor savings. Most customers see payback within the first year compared to cleaning staff costs.

03

Agreement + setup

Sign the service agreement. We deliver and commission the robot(s), configure RFM, train your staff, and run the first cleaning cycle together. Typical setup takes one day.

04

Ongoing operations + support

The robot cleans on your schedule. We monitor remotely via RFM, handle maintenance proactively, ship consumables before they run out, and answer the phone when you need us.

Common questions

FAQ

What happens if a robot breaks down?

Our response depends on your location. For customers in our local service area (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa), we dispatch a technician โ€” typically same day or next day. For customers outside our local area, we use a swap-based model: a replacement unit ships next business day to minimize your downtime. If the robot is out of service for more than 48 hours due to a hardware fault, you receive a credit on your next invoice. For Growth and Enterprise plans, we provide a loaner or swap unit for extended repairs.

Is preventive maintenance required?

Yes โ€” all RaaS customers are required to complete one annual preventive maintenance to keep the robot in peak condition and maintain warranty coverage. You have two options: self-service PM using Sproutmation's checklist and remote guidance (at no additional cost), or a Sproutmation-performed PM visit billed at time & materials rates. Most customers find self-service PM straightforward with our step-by-step guidance.

Can I cancel early?

RaaS agreements are typically 36-month terms. Early termination involves a buy-out of the remaining term. Most customers find the monthly cost well below what they'd spend on a comparable FTE, making termination rarely worth it financially.

Who owns the robot?

Sproutmation retains ownership throughout the agreement. At end of term, you can renew, upgrade to a newer model, or return the unit โ€” no disposal headache on your end.

Are consumables really included?

Consumables (brushes, squeegees, filters, cleaning solution) are not included in the monthly rate โ€” usage varies significantly by facility type and cleaning frequency, making bundling impractical. Consumables are available for purchase through Sproutmation. Hardware maintenance, parts, and labor remain fully covered.

Can I mix robot models?

Yes. Growth and Enterprise plans support mixed fleets. A common configuration is one L50 for large open areas and one L4 for corridors and smaller rooms. We'll recommend the right mix for your floor plan during the demo.

What is the minimum contract term?

Standard agreements start at 36 months. Shorter terms are available for pilot deployments but are priced at a premium. Most customers find 36-month agreements offer the best unit economics.

Is RaaS available outside of Minnesota?

Yes โ€” RaaS is available nationwide, with a two-tier service model. Customers in our local service area (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa) receive full onsite support: a technician dispatched same or next day for repairs, and onsite preventive maintenance options. Customers outside our local area receive swap-based support โ€” a replacement unit ships next business day if a robot needs extended repair โ€” plus self-service PM guidance (free) or a Sproutmation-performed PM visit billed at T&M rates. Contact us to discuss your location and the right service tier.

Does RaaS include the RFM software?

Yes โ€” every RaaS plan includes access to Sproutmation RFM for fleet monitoring, job scheduling, alert notifications, and usage reporting. Growth and Enterprise plans support multi-site access.
