Why Own Automation When You Can Subscribe to It?

Discover how Automation as a Service removes complexity and keeps you competitive 

Automation as a Service
– The future of warehousing, on subscription 

At Element Logic, we have always believed in thinking differently – challenging the status quo, embracing technology early, and making automation accessible for every ambitious warehouse. In the rapidly evolving world of logistics, the real question is no longer whether to automate, but how to do it effectively. 

That is why we are introducing Automation as a Service (AaaS) – a subscription-based, full-service automation model that minimizes risk, complexity, and capital strain. It is developed for customers who want joint operational responsibility to ensure maximum productivity and peace of mind – knowing that they utilize Element Logics’ best practice and “know how” in a partnership. 

What is Automation as a Service? 

AaaS is our answer to the evolving needs of modern warehouses. With AaaS, you do not buy automation – you subscribe to it. 

-Think of it like subscribing to efficiency. Just as ridesharing transformed urban mobility, AaaS brings that same reliability and simplicity to your warehouse. You only pay for the performance you need, says Håvard Hallås, Chief Commercial Officer at Element Logic. Instead of heavy upfront investments and maintenance headaches, you get a tailor-made automation solution combined with our industry-leading software, live monitoring, warehouse expert guidance, and continuous optimization, he continues.
