Crawell Northbound · For robot makers
Built Elsewhere. Ready for Canada.
Crawell Northbound is the Crawell Canada launch program for makers of beverage, grab-and-go and hot-food robots: certification coordination, import support, system integration, a localized menu with taste verification and a validated pilot.
Three Programs, One Path to a Canadian Site.
Assess
Assess is a readiness review that shows what stands between your machine and a Canadian site.
What it includes: Canada readiness review and gap report; landed-cost estimate with a licensed customs-broker partner; roadmap with milestones.
Best for: A prototype or a machine not yet sold in Canada.
Launch
Launch takes a production-ready machine from paperwork to a validated pilot.
What it includes: Certification coordination; import and importer-of-record support; integration through Connect; Canadian menu pack and taste verification; commissioning, training and a validated pilot.
Best for: A production-ready machine that needs a first Canadian site.
Scale
Scale supports makers whose first units are live and who want more sites.
What it includes: Service and spare-parts planning; quarterly taste re-verification; performance reporting; support for more sites.
Best for: Makers with first units live.
Plain Answers
Certification, customs and insurance are delivered by accredited or licensed partners. Crawell coordinates and does not issue certifications, act as a customs broker or sell insurance.
Independence
Manufacturers may pay Crawell for services such as assessment and publication. Payment never changes a score, and every paid relationship is labelled. Read our independence and disclosure notice.
