InVia Robotics is currently pitching the idea of a subscription-based service to many warehouses as it attempts to aid companies in understanding the importance of robotic services. The subscription-based model offered by Invia Robotics, negates the need to huge up-front investments from retailers, while still allowing them to keep up with behemoths like [Amazon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazon-proteus). InVia Robotics hopes that more eCommerce companies will begin the shift towards robotic use and it will be there to meet the growing need.
