Why Now
The security industry is undergoing its biggest automation revolution ever and three forces are driving this to your market right now.
100 - 300%
Security companies replace their entire workforce every year. Facilities pay premium rates and still get inconsistent coverage. Your robot never quits, never calls in sick, and never asks for overtime.

$200K+
If you consider loaded labor benefits turnover, and management overhead, running a guard post 24/7 would easily cost you more than $200,000 annually. Meanwhile, OpenDroids partners simply provide the same security for only around $35,000 a year once you see the figures, every discussion ends.
~3%
Out of 112,000+ security service businesses and the facilities they serve, at most 3% have deployed any autonomous patrols. The pioneers who make a move now control their sector in their city before it gets too crowded.

The security robot market is experiencing a growth of over 15% CAGR and the projection estimate is that the market will be worth $44B by 2030. The ones who form relationships with territories now are going to be the ones reaping compounding monthly revenue when the category scales.Source: Grand View Research, 2023
How It Works
Warehouses, corporate campuses, logistics yards, gated communities, parking structures the facilities that are already spending $100K+ on security labor are perfect for you. Besides sales playbook, scripts and CRM, OpenDroids even equips you with the resources that make your outreach process efficient. You don't rely on luck in prospecting.
OpenDroids takes care of shipping installation mapping, configuration and maintenance of the robot as soon as a client signs-up. Software updates, hardware repairs, 24/7 monitoring all are handled at a central level. You being the local face, your task is keeping the client happy, not solving engineering problems.
A robot deployed equals a flowing stream of revenue month after month. You will see your monthly income compound as you continue to onboard new clients. Partners don't focus on one-time commissions instead, they put together a portfolio of recurring business which will grow with every deployment.
Think of it like owning a managed service route except the machines never sleep, never quit, and earn more every month you hold the territory.

Revenue Model
Three tiers. All based on active robots in your territory. Revenue scales as you add deployments no ceiling on territory growth.
Starter
5 deployed
First territory milestone. Typically reached after your initial client deployments.
Growth · Most Common
15 deployed
Active territory with 3-5 enterprise clients. Revenue is fully recurring.

Go into any facility manager's office and ask him/her what his/her security budget was last year. Then ask how many guards were missing due to their call out, quitting, or replacement. By the time they've answered your question, they will be paying attention to you!
OpenDroids patrol robots address both issues - continuous coverage with no turnover risk cost is just a small percentage of a loaded guard post, per month. No sale is made in the ROI, it's closed on a spreadsheet.
