Pricing
Automated stocktaking pricing, published in full.
Three tiers and one add on, priced per site, with no gate and no call needed to see them. There is no robot to buy, so nothing has to be capitalised to depreciate.
Three tiers
Priced per site, because that is how a warehouse budget works.
One warehouse, five or more, or ten or more across borders. Every figure you need for the business case is below, including the setup fee, the annual fee and what both cover.
Site
One warehouse. The tier most first deployments start on.
plus €9,950 one off setup
- One recording unit, leased, not bought
- Support and maintenance included
- All software upgrades included
- Five day deployment and driver training
- Four weeks of hypercare after go live
- Unlimited counts, wall to wall or cycle
- Stock file exchange or standard API
Network
Five warehouses or more. One device can serve a cluster of up to five sites.
plus €8,950 one off setup, per site
- Everything in Site, at every site
- One device can cover a cluster of up to five warehouses
- Shared calibration across sites with the same racking
- Rollout sequenced site by site, five days each
- One reporting view across the network
- Peak units added for seasonal weeks only
Enterprise
Ten warehouses or more, usually across borders and legal entities.
Priced on the sequence, not the count
- Everything in Network
- Agreed multi country rollout schedule
- On premise hosting option
- ISAE 3000 audit report for your procurement team
- Named contact through the rollout
- Contracting per entity or per group
Add on, not a tier
Peak
Rent a second recording unit for the weeks that need it. Sites counting through a Christmas or a harvest run take an extra unit for a few months and hand it back, rather than sizing the whole year around eight weeks of pressure.
If you would rather own it
Outright purchase
Subscription is the default because it keeps the recording unit off your balance sheet and puts support, maintenance and upgrades in one line. Where you would rather hold the unit as a capital asset, you can buy it instead. Some finance teams prefer the asset, some prefer the operating line, and both routes get the same product and the same five day deployment.
Beyond the published rate
Volume discounts
The Network rate above is what a five site estate pays without negotiating. Past that, pricing moves on volume. Bring the number of sites and the pallet locations across them and the rate is agreed against those, not against a list.
| What you get | Site | Network | Enterprise |
|---|---|---|---|
| Warehouses | 1 | 5 or more | 10 or more |
| Setup, per site | €9,950 | €8,950 | Agreed |
| Annual fee, per site | €39,550 | €37,450 | Agreed |
| Camera leasing, support, maintenance and upgrades | Included | Included | Included |
| Capital equipment required | None | None | None |
| Outright purchase available | Yes, on application | Yes, on application | Yes, on application |
| Volume discount | Not at one site | Yes, on estate size | Yes, negotiated |
| Deployment per site | Five days | Five days | Five days, scheduled |
| Devices needed | One | One per cluster of up to five sites | By cluster |
| Peak rental available | Yes, €5,760 a month | Yes, €5,760 a month | Yes |
| On premise hosting | By arrangement | By arrangement | Yes |
| ISAE 3000 audit report | On request | On request | Provided |
What you are paying for
The setup fee buys a week of work, not a machine.
Deployment takes five days and the fee covers all of it. The recording unit rides on a forklift you already own, so nothing arrives on your balance sheet.
Calibration
The unit is calibrated to your racking geometry, your aisle widths and your shelf levels, then validated against live recordings on day one.
WMS correlation
Your label format and location naming are mapped so a discrepancy list reads in your own terms. LPN translation is validated on day two.
Driver training
Two to three days of training for the drivers who will run the counts, plus admin training, acceptance test sign off and four weeks of hypercare after go live.
The annual fee is all inclusive
One line covers everything: support, maintenance, camera leasing and every software upgrade. There is no hardware to buy, no maintenance contract to negotiate separately and no charge for new features as they ship. The camera is leased as part of the fee, which is why the business case needs no capital line at all.
The five day sequence the setup fee pays for is set out day by day on the deployment page.
One device can serve up to five warehouses
Where sites sit close enough to share, a single recording unit travels between them on a rota, so a cluster of up to five warehouses can run on one device rather than five. That is what makes the Network economics work, and it is a structural difference from anyone selling an autonomous vehicle: a robot or a drone is commissioned into one building and stays there.
It also changes how you phase a rollout. You can prove the method across a cluster before committing a device to every site, and add Peak rental only for the weeks when one unit is genuinely not enough.
Integration is not a line item. Sentispec Inventory works out of the box on a stock file exchange, which means zero integration effort from your IT team to run a count. A standard API is available when you want corrections to flow back automatically, and that is a decision you can take months after go live.
The arithmetic
What the count costs you now, against what this costs.
At a medium warehouse of 30,000 m², manual stocktaking and the lost pallet searches around it run at €150,000 to €250,000 a year. The Site tier, plus the labour that remains, runs at €54,550 to €64,550.
| Annual cost line | Manual stocktaking | With Sentispec Inventory |
|---|---|---|
| Audit related labour | €50,000 | €5,000 |
| Lost pallet search | €100,000 to €200,000 | €10,000 to €20,000 |
| Sentispec annual fee | None | €39,550 |
| Total, an ongoing year | €150,000 to €250,000 | €54,550 to €64,550 |
| Total, first year including setup | €150,000 to €250,000 | €64,500 to €74,500 |
- First year saving: €85,500 to €175,500. That is after the €9,950 setup fee, not before it.
- From year two: €95,450 to €185,450 a year. The setup fee does not recur.
- The setup fee is recovered in about five weeks at the low end. Net of the annual fee, the site stops spending €7,954 to €15,454 a month, so €9,950 comes back in well under two months. Across the ten sites we publish, break even lands between one month and six months or more.
- Labour efficiencies released: €100,000 to €300,000 a year. The same cost model carries that figure, and none of it is in the table above, because it depends on what you do with the hours you get back.
A three month payback implies manual stocktaking costing about €79,000 a year at that site, roughly €6,600 a month.
Run it backwards from your own figures. €9,950 setup plus one quarter of €39,550 is €19,838 of cost in the first three months. For the site to be square at the end of month three, the manual alternative has to be costing about €79,000 a year. If your own count and search costs are below that, your payback is longer than three months, and you should say so in your paper. Put your own numbers into the ROI calculator, which is not gated and does not ask for an email address, or read how the cost of a manual count actually builds up in what a manual stocktake costs.
For the measured outcomes behind the range, rather than the model, the ten site benchmark publishes accuracy, value realised and break even for every live deployment, with the method stated. The like for like method comparison sits on automated stocktaking against manual counting.
Pricing questions
The six things procurement always asks.
What exactly is in the setup fee?
Calibration, WMS correlation and driver training. In practice that is the five day deployment: unwrapping and calibration on day one, LPN translation and racking navigation validation on day two, quality adjustments and admin training on days three and four, acceptance test sign off on day five, then four weeks of hypercare after go live. It is a services fee, not a hardware purchase, which is why nothing has to be capitalised.
Is there a minimum term?
Twelve months, on both the Site and the Network tier. Pricing is quoted per year and the annual fee includes support, maintenance, camera leasing and software upgrades for the whole period, so the term and the billing period line up rather than cutting across each other.
How does renewal work?
The agreement auto renews for a further 12 months, and you stop that by giving three months notice before the renewal date. Put a reminder in the calendar at month nine and the decision stays yours. Renewal is the normal outcome: the site at Willebroek in Belgium renewed after holding 99.99% accuracy and a 90% lower stocktaking cost.
Which currencies can we be billed in?
Euro or US dollars. Every price on this page is quoted in euro, and a USD contract is converted at the rate agreed when the contract is signed rather than floated month to month.
Does the price include the device?
Yes. The annual fee is all inclusive: camera leasing, support, maintenance and software upgrades. There is no robot to buy and no fixed infrastructure to install, so nothing has to be capitalised. One device can serve a cluster of up to five warehouses, so a Network customer does not necessarily need one unit per site. The Peak add on at €5,760 a month exists for the weeks when the shared device is not enough.
How does this work across multiple sites and multiple countries?
At five warehouses or more the Network tier applies, at €8,950 setup and €37,450 per year for each site. At ten or more across borders it becomes Enterprise, with custom terms and an agreed rollout schedule, because the constraint is usually sequencing rather than price. Each site still gets its own five day deployment and its own driver training. All prices on this page are in euro, and we bill in euro or US dollars.
Can we buy the recording unit instead of leasing it?
Yes. Outright purchase is available on application, so a finance team that would rather hold the unit as a capital asset can. Subscription is the default because it keeps the unit off the balance sheet and folds support, maintenance and software upgrades into one line, but the product and the five day deployment are identical either way.
Is there a volume discount?
Yes. The Network rate is what a five site estate pays without negotiating, and beyond that pricing moves on volume. Bring your site count and the pallet locations across them and the rate is agreed against those figures.
In short: 12 month minimum term, auto renewing every 12 months, three months notice to stop it, billed in euro or US dollars. Terms specific to your rollout come to you in writing, so ask on the demo or send the question through contact.
