Testimonials

Past clients

Simon Marks

Product Manager - FMI Manufacturing

Formulated has been handling our bot workforce for about five years now. Without an automation solution we would be stuck trying to staff two FTEs on a tedious and time consuming task. Our setup has been running without incident and continues to deliver results.

Elizabeth Krueger

CEO - EKD

We ran a pilot that expanded into a full-fledged robot workforce. Our internal team has been able to stay focused on their roadmap and worked directly with Formulated to ensure compliance. We see a strong continued ROI and our team couldn’t be happier to avoid this work.
