From assessment to ongoing service, we handle it all

Step 1

Free Site Assessment

We review your facility, floor types, staffing constraints, and deployment goals so the recommendation fits the real operation.

Step 2

Professional Deployment

We handle delivery, mapping, commissioning, training, and rollout planning so your team is ready from day one.

Step 3

Local Ongoing Support

Annual service packages, machine warranties, and support from a partner who stays involved after go-live.

Why buyers choose Sproutmation

The gap is rarely the robot. It's the deployment plan, support model, and business case.

Most operators do not need another brochure. They need clarity on where a robot fits, how the payback works, and who will answer the phone after go-live.

Buyer-safe ROI guidance

ROI tools, case studies, and operating-fit guidance that help you justify the project internally.

Local deployment and service

Sproutmation supports planning, launch, training, and service instead of handing off to a distant distributor.

Platform thinking

Robots, fleet software, beverage automation, and industrial automation can all live under one practical operations strategy.

Operations-first recommendations

We start with what the facility actually needs, not with whatever model happens to be easiest to sell.

Step 1

Current cleaning and labor baseline

Use only current floor-care work relevant to repeatable robot routes—not all janitorial tasks.

30,000 ft²
5,000 ft²200,000 ft²
5 passes/week
1 pass/week168 passes/week
60 hours/week
0 hours/week500 hours/week

Include only floor-care work in the baseline; do not include restrooms, trash, high-touch detail, or unrelated janitorial tasks.

$0 /hour$75 /hour

0 %100 %

Include only employer costs that apply. Do not add the same benefit or insurance cost twice.

50 %
0 %100 %

Only relevant repetitive floor work is replaceable; this is not a share of all janitorial labor. Even with full-area passes, staff still handle edges, detail work and other tasks. The default 50% is a conservative, editable planning assumption—not measured site savings; robot-service attention is deducted separately.

Step 2

Proposed robot cleaning and service

Set the target service level and route-access window. Route access is not active cleaning time.

Robot model

1 robot20 robots
1 pass/day
1 pass/day24 passes/day
5 days/week
1 day/week7 days/week
8 hours/day
1 hour/day24 hours/day

Actual cleaning is lower after charging and service. More open hours do not create more baseline labor work.

Target: 5 full passes/week (150,000 ft²). Achievable: 5 passes/week (150,000 ft²).

Refill and drain method

Included investment: 1 × L50 plus 1 × CWS-01. Auto refill, drain, charge and discharge. Site utilities and installation are separate inputs below.

Step 3

Investment, running costs, and cash plan

Start with Sproutmation planning estimates, then adjust them to your site and mark them confirmed only when verified.

$1,500 one-time
$0 one-time$10,000 one-time

$1,500 is Sproutmation’s usual deployment/installation charge. Adjust this to the site-specific project total; utility construction, tax, financing, and other site work are not guaranteed to be included.

$1,200 /year
$0 /year$10,000 /year

$1,200/year is Sproutmation’s typical consumables estimate. Adjust the total for applicable support, software, service, and other recurring costs; this is not a universal bundled-cost guarantee.

3 years
1 year10 years

Three years is the default comparison horizon. This is a simple undiscounted scenario, not a guaranteed return.

Reassignment creates useful operating capacity. Cash savings require an actual avoidable expense; avoided hire means future spend avoided against a real staffing need, not a layoff.

Advanced technical assumptions: water, service, and attention
1,000 ft²/US gal
500 ft²/US gal2,500 ft²/US gal

1,000 default; compare 500 and 2,500 at the same cleaned area. This is an adjustable planning assumption, not a measured fleet or OEM water-use fact.

15 minutes/event
5 minutes/event120 minutes/event

Illustrative until replaced by a timed site observation. Robot downtime applies in both manual and automatic modes.

0 minutes/event
0 minutes/event30 minutes/event

Zero means no employee attention for that automatic service event. Robot service still takes elapsed time, and separate retained checks, maintenance, route recovery, and exceptions remain.

2 hours/robot/week
0 hours/robot/week20 hours/robot/week

0 hours/week20 hours/week

Default none. Existing salaried or unchanged paid hours are not an additional cash cost.

Frees ~28.0 staff hours/week for other work. Economic payback ~14.2 months.

1 × L50 robot · 5 full cleanings/week · 30,000 ft²

Your modeled result

30,000 ft²/day across 1 L50 robot for 5 full passes/week.

Every modeled operating day meets its full-area demand within the selected route-access window.

Current service → proposed achievable service

Current baseline

150,000 ft²/week at the entered current frequency.

Proposed achievable

5 full passes/week

Target 5; 150,000 ft²/week. Every daily target is feasible.

The modeled service does not add full-area passes above the entered baseline.

Released staff capacity can support detail work, high-touch cleaning, exception response, or a real planned hiring need. Consistency, hygiene, and quality improvements must be validated in a site trial and remain outside ROI totals.

Financial limits to resolve

  • • Recurring costs use an adjustable planning estimate; validate applicable consumables, support, software, service, and other costs before treating payback or ROI as confirmed.
  • • Deployment and installation use an adjustable Sproutmation planning estimate; validate utility construction, site work, tax, financing, and other applicable project costs before treating payback or ROI as confirmed.
Calculation method and source notes
  • • Schedule capacity uses the governed historical RFM cohort from July 1–August 20, 2026: cleaned area divided by active cleaning time, not elapsed wall time or a manufacturer theoretical maximum.
  • • The planner repeats one operating-day pattern. The first start is fully charged with a filled nominal tank; battery and tank state then carry across every boundary with no free daily reset.
  • • Route-access hours are the hours in which cleaning may occur. Charging and robot water service are separate elapsed time and are sequential unless a verified model capability says otherwise; this planner assumes no overlap.
  • • Off-window charging is modeled only when selected. Wet service outside the cleaning window is modeled only for compatible automatic service or when manual staff availability is explicitly selected.
  • • When outside-window wet service is selected, the planner models one paid-time tank top-up after each operating day, including the last day. This is a planning assumption—not an observed site or vendor requirement—and it is not a second refill/drain count.
  • • L50 planning uses up to 4 active hours followed by 2 hours charging from the owner-supplied operating assumption. This is distinct from the published OEM specification and does not imply uninterrupted 24/7 cleaning.
  • • Wet scrubbers use 1,000 ft²/US gal by default as an interim planning assumption, with 500 and 2,500 sensitivity cases at the same modeled cleaned area. These are not measured fleet or OEM water-use facts, and nominal tank capacity is not a measured usable fill volume.
  • • Robot service duration and employee hands-on minutes are separate illustrative inputs. Zero hands-on time for an automatic service event does not remove robot elapsed service, daily checks, brush/tank maintenance, route recovery, exceptions, utilities, or site work.
  • • Economic value combines mutually allocated avoided expense with the remaining useful labor capacity at the loaded wage. It assumes the remaining released time is usefully redeployed; it is not a promised payroll reduction.
  • • Cash-budget benefit is separate: only allocated avoided overtime, a confirmed reducible contractor scope, or a scenario-specific avoided hire counts, less entered recurring costs and genuinely incremental paid attention.
  • • Existing cleaning frequency anchors baseline labor coverage. Proposed passes beyond that baseline are additional service and do not create extra existing payroll savings.
  • • Purchase investment includes the compatible station. Published MSRP is used with adjustable Sproutmation planning estimates for deployment/installation and annual consumables; tax, financing, utility construction, support, software, service, site work, and other applicable costs still require site validation.

Planning estimate only; not a quote, guarantee, financing offer, tax analysis, staffing recommendation, or measured site result. Validate routes, usable tank volume, water settings, service time, staff allocation, cash savings, utilities, installation, and costs during a facility assessment.

What our customers say

Real results from real deployments

“After attending a conference and witnessing the impressive capabilities of the SP50 cleaning robot, we are excited about the potential to revolutionize our workspace. The SP50's ability to clean 600,000 square feet of carpet automatically will lead to substantial cost savings and will be a valuable investment that will pay for itself through its expected years of service.”

Jeff Huegli

CEO, Beacon Hill at Eastgate, Michigan

“Our L50 robots have been working great for two years. What sets Sproutmation apart is that they genuinely know the technology and understand our workflow. They're not a traditional janitorial supplier that just sells a robot. They provide a complete solution and go above and beyond on the service side.”

FAQ

Questions buyers ask before they book a demo

What types of facilities are the best fit for commercial cleaning robots?

The best fit is usually a facility with predictable open floor space, recurring daily cleaning, and labor pressure. Hospitals, schools, senior living communities, retail stores, warehouses, and hospitality properties are common starting points.

How fast can a cleaning robot pay back?

Payback is site-specific. Start with staff hours actually freed after checks, maintenance, exceptions, and hands-on service. Count cash benefit only for supportable avoided overtime, a confirmed reducible contractor scope, or scenario-specific avoided-hire spend, then subtract recurring robot costs and genuinely additional paid attention. Include the robot, compatible station, installation, utilities, and other initial costs; otherwise payback remains incomplete.

Do you offer Robot as a Service instead of a full upfront purchase?

Yes. Sproutmation offers a Robot as a Service path for operators who prefer an operating-expense model instead of a capital purchase. That can be useful when the business case is strong but CapEx approval is slow.

What happens after deployment?

Sproutmation supports deployment, training, optimization, and ongoing service. The goal is not just to install a machine, it is to keep the automation working in the real operation over time.
