Instock is a robotics company delivering a goods-to-person automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) as a fulfillment robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) offering. The system pairs a static "Grid" racking framework, stackable "Bins", and autonomous three-dimensional "Robots" with "Incloud", a cloud software platform that orchestrates warehouse fulfillment operations. Instock publishes a REST-based HTTP API (Incloud) that lets a customer's host systems (PIM/IMS/OMS) integrate with the ASRS: managing sites, uploading articles (SKUs), creating and advancing customer orders, tracking order tasks, and reading inventory and article moves. The API accepts and returns JSON, uses Bearer-token (JWT) authentication issued during onboarding, cursor-based pagination, snake_case properties, and RFC 3339 timestamps. Instock was surfaced as a portfolio company of Lux Capital. Sector: robotics / warehouse automation.
