ROBOECONOMY

Concept:

A next-generation accounting application for managing robotic assets.
Accounting for Robots is a non-accountant’s app built as part of the ROBOECONOMY ecosystem.
Users don’t keep books manually—they run their robot business with an intelligent assistant that handles routine work, analysis, and decision-making.

Market: 300–400 million small and mid-sized businesses worldwide. Only 12% use robots today.
Explosive growth is inevitable: a ~50% drop in prices and robot-as-a-service models are removing the last barriers. The cobot market is already growing 26% YoY.
Market math: If just 1% of SMBs begin deploying robots over the next five years, that’s ~600,000 new customer companies per year.
Problem: There’s no simple tool to track the money robots earn—or burn.
This isn’t a niche. It’s the birth of a new industry.

🎯 Vision

ROBOECONOMY is an intelligent ecosystem for managing robotic businesses, where users don’t “do the books”—they manage assets with algorithms and AI.
Core principle:
Robots work — the app does the accounting.
Minimal manual input, maximal automation. Users make strategic decisions; the system handles the operations.
