Lender package
Uptime, hours and collections by serial number for every month of the contract, with the contract and site attached and formatted for credit review.
The operating record for robot fleets, built for lenders
Robobook records the hours, uptime and collections of every robot in a fleet by serial number. Operators use the record to bill customers and to apply for fleet financing. Lenders use it to underwrite.
Financing robot fleets
Equipment lenders size an advance against a machine's resale value and its operating history. Lessors financing industrial robot arms have decades of depreciation data and an established resale market to work from.
Mobile robots, collaborative arms and humanoids have little of either. Operators keep usage data in fleet software and invoices in accounting software, and lenders see neither in a form tied to a specific unit and contract. The manufacturer or operator usually ends up carrying the fleet on its own balance sheet.

Outputs
Delivery statement
Hours delivered against hours contracted, with availability credits and the telemetry behind each figure. The operator sends it to the customer each billing period.
Accounting export
Billable amounts sent to Stripe, QuickBooks or NetSuite at period close.
How it works
Connect the fleet.
Robobook reads telemetry from each robot or from the fleet management system the operator already uses.
Attach contracts.
The operator loads each customer contract with its pricing and availability terms.
Close each period.
Robobook reconciles telemetry against the contract and produces the delivery statement and the invoice amounts.
Share with a lender.
The operator grants a lender read access to the fleet record or sends a lender package.
For lenders and operators
Lenders and lessors
Review a robot fleet the way your credit team reviews other equipment, by unit, by contract and by collections history. Robobook keeps the same record format across operators, and the source telemetry is available for audit.
Robot operators
Bill customers from hours they can check. Each month on Robobook adds to the operating history a lender reviews before funding your next cohort of robots.
Questions
Mobile robots, collaborative and industrial arms, and humanoids from any manufacturer whose telemetry Robobook can read directly or through a fleet management platform.
The fleet owner. Robobook shares a fleet's record only with parties the owner authorizes.
Robobook keeps records and does not lend money or arrange financing. Operators choose their own lenders.
