Their edge stays theirs
Naming a customer hands their competitors a target list and a signpost to where the advantage is. We won't do that to the businesses that trust us.
Customers
The proof.
Just not the names.
The businesses that run on Output IQ would rather their competitors didn't know how far ahead they are. So we show you what they've achieved — their sector, their setup, their results — without the logos.

Why we built it
We'd already done this by hand — many times over.
Output IQ didn't start as software. It started on factory floors. Over the years, our founder took manufacturing business after manufacturing business from heavy losses to strong profit — by rolling out automation and sensors, piece by piece, as bespoke projects.
It worked every time. But it was expensive. Bespoke consultancy runs around £1,000 a day, and by the time a project was delivered it had cost a business £10,000 or more — which kept this kind of turnaround out of reach for most SMEs.
So we built the playbook into a product. The same automation-and-sensors approach that turned those companies around — packaged, productised, and priced for everyone. We're not guessing at your problems. We've stood on the floor and fixed them.
[ Founder name ]Founder, Output IQ
The maths an SME couldn't make work — until now
£1,000 a day, typical consultancy
~£10,000 a single bespoke project
≈ a year of Output IQ, for the same money
Same approach. A fraction of the cost. Yours to keep running.
Why anonymised
Names withheld. Nothing else.
We don't publish the businesses we work with — and that's a feature, not a gap. Here's exactly how the proof on this page works, and why you can trust it.
Precise, not vague
Role, sector, size, region, setup — enough that you'll recognise your own operation, never enough to identify theirs. Precision does the work a logo would.
Reviewed and signed off
Every story here is checked and approved by the customer before it goes anywhere. Anonymised doesn't mean unverified.
The upside for you: with no brand to protect, our customers let us share more — the real pain points and the actual numbers a logo'd case study would have to soften.
Customer stories
The detail a logo would hide.
Three businesses, three sectors, no names — but everything else: the setup, the problem, what changed, and the result. Recognise yours?
Manufacturing Placeholder
Profile [ Precision-engineering SME · ~120 staff · 2 sites · Midlands · discrete, make-to-order ]
Headline result [ Defensible headline outcome — e.g. month-end reporting from 5 days to live ]
The challenge
[ The challenge — the spreadsheet-and-clipboard reality before Output IQ, written so a similar manufacturer nods along. 2–3 sentences. ]
What changed
[ What changed — the specific Output IQ capabilities put in, in plain terms: live shop-floor capture, work orders driving the schedule, scrap flagged at the line. 2–3 sentences. ]
The outcome
[ The outcome — structural, defensible results. What they can see/do now that they couldn't. 2–3 sentences. ]
[ Anonymised quote — the single thing that changed for them, in their words. ]
Logistics & distribution Placeholder
Profile [ Regional distribution operator · ~60 vehicles · 3 depots · North West ]
Headline result [ Defensible headline outcome — e.g. on-time delivery visible in real time ]
The challenge
[ The challenge — PODs in email, no live view of vehicles, stock truth split across depots. 2–3 sentences. ]
What changed
[ What changed — inbound-to-outbound tracked, live routes and drops, one stock position across depots. 2–3 sentences. ]
The outcome

Multi-site retail Placeholder
Profile [ Multi-site retailer · 24 sites · South East · high-street and forecourt ]
Headline result [ Defensible headline outcome — e.g. sites compared live instead of at month-end ]
The challenge
[ The challenge — every store reporting differently, stock not matching the till, problems surfacing only at month-end. 2–3 sentences. ]
What changed
[ What changed — every till on one live figure, stock reconciled per site, sales vs target by store. 2–3 sentences. ]
The outcome

Placeholders shown. Real, customer-approved stories replace these — same structure, no names.
What changes
Different sectors. Same step-change.
The shape of the win depends on what you make, move, or sell — but it always comes down to seeing your operation clearly, and acting sooner.
Manufacturing make
[ figure ] Less time on reporting
- Output visible by shift, by line, by site
- Scrap and downtime caught as they happen
Logistics & distribution move
[ figure ] On-time delivery
- One stock truth across every depot
- Live routes and drops on one screen
Wholesale move
[ figure ] Order fill rate
- Orders entered once, not three times
- Back-orders visible the moment they happen
Multi-site retail sell
[ figure ] Sites compared live
- Every till on one live sales figure
- Stock that matches the shelf, per site
Figures are placeholders until confirmed by the customers they belong to.
No leap of faith
Prove it on your own floor first.
We'd rather show you than tell you — and we're happy to carry the risk to do it. Run a pilot on a real part of your operation and judge it on what it actually does.
A real pilot, not a sandbox
On your operation, your data — a genuine slice of how you actually run.
Success agreed up front
[Placeholder] We set a clear measure together before we start, so 'did it work' isn't a matter of opinion.
Rolling terms, no lock-in
Month to month. You stay because it's earning its place, not because a contract traps you.
No rip-and-replace
It runs alongside what you've already got. Nothing gets switched off to find out.
No customers we can name yet? Fair enough — go and drive the product itself, no sign-up needed.
Trust & security
Your data, handled properly.
Trusting a newer company with the data that runs your business is a fair thing to weigh up. Here's exactly how we treat it — and how you can check.
Your data stays yours
You own it, you can export it any time, and leaving never means losing it. No hostage-taking.
UK-hosted
[Placeholder] Hosted in UK data centres, with backups and encryption in transit and at rest.
GDPR by default
[Placeholder] Built to UK GDPR from the ground up — data handled lawfully, with clear records.
Independently checked
[Placeholder — Cyber Essentials / ISO 27001 as certified] Security verified by third parties, not just claimed.
Built in the open
You'll always know what we're building: a public roadmap and changelog, kept current. And because every deployment is your own, a live status view sits right inside it — for your eyes, not a marketing page. Being newer means a vendor that actually answers, and ships.
Who it's for
Built for operations like yours.
The businesses Output IQ fits best share a shape: real things made, moved, or sold, and a need to see it all clearly. A few of them:
Manufacturing
Discrete and process makers, 50–500 staff, one site or several.
Logistics & distribution
Distributors and hauliers running multiple depots and fleets.
Wholesale
Trade and B2B wholesalers shipping from stock every day.
Multi-site retail
Retailers and forecourts with sites worth comparing.
Food & beverage
Producers managing batch, traceability and shelf-life.
3PL & fulfilment
Operators holding stock and billing for multiple clients.

FAQ
The questions you're actually asking.
The honest answers to what a business weighs up before trusting a newer vendor with how it runs.
Why don't you name your customers?
Because naming them would hand their competitors a target list and a signpost to their advantage. We anonymise by choice — role and sector only, every story reviewed and approved by the customer. It's the same confidentiality we'd extend to you.
What does a pilot actually involve?
[Placeholder] We run Output IQ on a real, agreed slice of your operation — your data, not a sandbox — with a clear success measure set together up front. Terms are rolling, so you continue only if it's earning its place. Replace with your real pilot scope and timeline.
Can we trust a newer company with the data that runs our business?
A fair question to ask. Your data stays yours, hosted in [Placeholder: UK] data centres, encrypted in transit and at rest, handled to UK GDPR. Security is independently checked, not just claimed [Placeholder: Cyber Essentials / ISO 27001 as certified]. And being newer means a vendor that actually answers and ships.
What happens to our data if we leave?
It's yours — you can export it at any time, and leaving never means losing it. There's no lock-in and no multi-year contract holding your data hostage.
How long until we're live and seeing value?
[Placeholder] Weeks, not the months a legacy rollout takes — with the first useful insights typically showing within days of going live. Replace with your real onboarding timeline.
We're not a textbook manufacturer — is this still for us?
Almost certainly. Output IQ is built around output — what you make, move, sell, or service — and configures to how you actually run. If your business turns on real operations, it maps. See the Solutions page for how it fits your sector.
