BOSWAU + KNAUER

Pricing & ROI

Transparent prices. Clear maths. Demonstrable ROI.

Security robots are not a cost centre. They are an investment with measurable return, and a payback period no other security concept matches.

Stationary video tower

ROI calculation

The honest maths: robot vs. guard.

Line itemSecurity guard (1 FTE)Security robot
Gross wages€32,000 to €42,000 / year,
Employer social contributions (approx. 25%)€8,000 to €10,500 / year,
Holiday cover / floaters€5,000 to €8,000 / year,
Turnover & recruitment€3,000 to €6,000 / year,
Absenteeism / sick leave€4,000 to €7,000 / year,
Total cost per year€52,000 to €73,500€6,000 to €12,000 (maintenance & service)
Capital expenditure,€80,000 to €120,000 (one-off)
Payback,14 to 20 months
Break-even over 5 years€260,000 to €367,500€110,000 to €180,000

Savings over five years against a single replaced full-time guard post: €150,000 to €187,500. The robot covers 24 hours; a guard on single-shift cover only eight.
