How a Farhand rollout works in retail
Buy + deploy + service — under one roof.
01
We walk your floor — square footage, floor types (LVT, polished concrete, sealed wood, carpet), traffic patterns — and quote the right Pudu, Gausium, or LionsBot fleet.
02
Robots ship pre-mapped, pre-trained, and pre-loaded into Farhand Relay so your AI knows every model on day one.
03
Our Field Service Engineers commission on-site in 1 day, train your night manager, and set up automated review collection if you want it.
04
Lifetime service: every issue, software update, and maintenance task flows through Relay. Fleet uptime compounds — not degrades — over time.
