Strategic Partnership Proposal
Cloud Asset Intelligence Meets the World's Leading Warehouse AMR Fleet
A proposal for a strategic technology partnership to deliver autonomous RFID scanning at scale for wine, spirits, and high-value asset warehouses across North America and beyond.
The Case for Partnership
Locus Robotics has the largest deployed AMR fleet in the world. ScanToProve is the intelligence layer that transforms raw RFID scan data into provenance, compliance, and portfolio value. Together, we unlock a $400B industry that neither company can serve alone.

Product Fit
Locus's next-generation Array robot is purpose-designed for autonomous shelf and rack scanning — exactly what wine cellars, barrel warehouses, and spirits storage facilities need.
Array navigates warehouse aisles autonomously, reading RFID tags on barrels, bottles, and cases without human intervention. Covers entire facilities in hours, not days.
Locus's LocusOne platform provides fleet management, scan scheduling, route optimisation, and real-time dashboards — a complete orchestration layer for the physical scanning.
Locus offers REST API endpoints for scan data export. ScanToProve ingests EPC tag reads, timestamps, and location data in real-time for processing and intelligence.

Mutual Benefits
New $400B Vertical
Wine, spirits, and barrel warehousing is untapped by Locus — ScanToProve provides the domain intelligence to enter it.
Higher Deal Value
Bundled ScanToProve SaaS with compliance and provenance justifies premium pricing and longer contracts.
Sticky Customers
When scan data feeds blockchain provenance and TTB compliance, switching costs are massive — retention skyrockets.
Array Robot Showcase
Wine & spirits is a high-profile, media-friendly vertical that showcases Array's scanning capabilities to the press.
Software Revenue
Revenue share on ScanToProve subscriptions creates a predictable SaaS income stream on top of robot leases.
Instant Scale
Locus has 13,000+ deployed bots and 300+ facilities. That's immediate access to enterprise buyers who trust Locus already.
Enterprise Credibility
Partnership with the world's leading AMR company gives ScanToProve instant legitimacy with Fortune 500 supply chain teams.
US Market Access
Locus's US-first presence is perfect for ScanToProve's entry into Kentucky distilleries and California wine operations.
No Hardware Build
ScanToProve offers autonomous scanning without building a single robot — leveraging Locus's proven, battle-tested fleet.
Investor Signal
A Locus partnership is a powerful signal for ScanToProve's pre-seed raise — enterprise market readiness proven.
