Frequently Asked Questions

What warehouse automation works well for small and midsize 3PLs?
Pio is a compact cube storage system that automates storage and retrieval for small and midsize 3PLs. Robots retrieve inventory bins and bring them directly to a workstation, helping 3PLs store more client inventory in less space and fulfill orders with up to 99.9% accuracy.
How can a small 3PL take on more clients without expanding its warehouse?
By storing more inventory in the existing footprint. Pio's cube storage system can fit up to 10x more inventory in the same space by storing bins in a dense grid instead of across shelves and aisles. That gives 3PLs room to onboard new clients without immediately moving to a larger warehouse.
How does Pio manage inventory for different 3PL clients?
Client inventory is stored in bins inside the Pio grid and tracked through the Pio app. When an order is ready to pick, robots retrieve the right bins and bring them to the workstation, helping teams keep inventory organized and fulfill orders accurately across multiple clients.
How much does warehouse automation cost for a 3PL?
Pio starts from $146,700, with subscriptions from $4,996/month for a P100. With Pio's Robotics-as-a-Service model, you buy the grid and bins, while the monthly subscription covers the robots, ports, and Pio software. You can scale from the P100 to larger Pio systems as your client base and fulfillment needs grow.
