- Recycling
- Education
Prairie Robotics is a Canadian-based clean-tech startup that installs smart cameras on recycling, organics, and garbage trucks to identify contamination. They work with over 40 cities, counties, and regional districts across the United States and Canada, and they are the only company to provide an end-to-end solution to automatically identify contamination and eliminate it with custom-built education campaigns
Prairie Robotics did not have a previous CMS. They considered building a similar system in-house but estimated it would take months to develop even a basic version, which would be less capable than what Cosmic provides out of the box.
New CMS Requirements
Prairie Robotics had three key requirements for a new CMS:
Fast loading time
Easy to integrate and update
Ability to deliver rich content
How They Use Cosmic
Prairie Robotics chose Cosmic because it offered plans that provided the necessary functionality and could scale with their growth. The company has created complex structures to embed video links and related content to support user journeys.
Cosmic has streamlined the process for publishing case studies, blogs, and white papers. The platform is configurable beyond their needs, and they are just beginning to explore its full potential. The API is easy to integrate and fully self-service.
Since implementing Cosmic, Prairie Robotics no longer needs developer time to create and publish new content. The platform has scaled with their business as they have grown from a startup in 2019 with no clients, to an industry leader serving over 40 cities in the US and Canada in 2025. They have seen a dramatic increase in website visitors downloading content, with no issues related to the increased load.
Our focus at Prairie Robotics is on accelerating our transition to a world without waste. Working with some of the largest cities and waste haulers across North America, it's critical that we focus on what matters to our clients. Cosmic allows us to run our content engine essentially on autopilot. This gives us more time to focus on our core platform. It's simple and easy to use - has scaled with our company as we've grown, and, most importantly, gets the industry-specific information we share (blog posts, case studies, etc.) to our current and potential partners quickly and reliably.
