CaseProof: Stop Signing $3M Warehouse Automation Deals on a Vendor’s Spreadsheet:
Every year, logistics leaders approve multimillion-dollar robotics deals based on a spreadsheet built by the vendor selling the hardware. But warehouse automation cost is rarely what the quote promises. Hidden maintenance, fully loaded labor, integration fees, and 2026 Section 179 phase-outs can stretch a claimed 14-month payback to 41 months. CaseProof is the buyer-side audit engine that re-runs vendor proposals against your operating reality—normalizing capex, lease, and RaaS bids into one after-tax cash model, attributing every month of payback variance, and flagging unstated lines before you sign. It delivers a payback waterfall, year-by-year cash schedule, ranked confirm-in-writing ledger, and board-ready decision pack in minutes. Before you commit seven figures, audit the math yourself. Launch CaseProof now to see the true warehouse automation cost—for less than ten dollars.
