Put the IQ in your operation.

MRP plans what to make and what to buy. ERP runs the whole business around it: production, stock, purchasing, sales, jobs, costing and reporting in one system. Output IQ is a full ERP with MRP inside it, plus machine and energy monitoring built in.

Not at this size of system. Output IQ is built for UK SMEs rather than scaled down from an enterprise product, so plans start small and you take on only the parts you need today. Most of our customers run between ten and sixty people.

Stock control answers one question. If your stock, orders, purchasing, job costing and shop floor all disagree with each other, the problem is that they are separate systems, and a better stock package will not fix it.

No. Output IQ is used by businesses that make, move, sell or serve: manufacturing, wholesale and distribution, multi site retail and hospitality, and technology and field service businesses.

Three plans, from £195 a month, with desktop and operator seats included on every one. Prices are ex VAT. Sensor hardware is the only significant extra, and the monitoring software itself is included on every plan.

No minimum term. Every plan is rolling monthly, so the most you are ever committed to is the month you are in, and your data is exportable at any time whether you stay or not.

Partly, and not at one rate. Desktop seats and operator seats are priced separately, operator seats cost a fraction of a desktop seat, and the rate per seat falls as you add more of them.

Weeks rather than the six to eighteen months a traditional ERP rollout takes. Onboarding is guided and staged, with your data migrated, your processes mapped and your team trained as part of getting live.

No. There is no big bang cutover. Onboarding is staged so you move across in steps, with the floor still running, rather than switching everything off over a weekend and hoping.

Usually one of three things: a large upfront fee that has to be justified before anyone has seen a benefit, a big bang go live with nothing to fall back on, or a system nobody on the floor will actually use. The way this one is bought and rolled out is built around those three.

Yes, and it is part of onboarding rather than a separate project. Our own data mapping tools bring customers, parts, BOMs and open orders across, so you start on a system that already knows your business.

The spreadsheets are usually the fastest thing to migrate, because the data is already structured. What changes is that the numbers stop being a snapshot somebody typed and start being the live position everyone is working from.

Yes. Output IQ includes full finance, but where your accountant prefers to stay on an existing package, our API integrations feed it cleanly so the double entry between the two stops.

Yes. Web, marketplace, EDI and manually entered orders land in one queue and move to despatch in a single flow, so nothing is re keyed between the website, the inbox and the accounts package.

No. The ERP stands on its own, and the machine monitoring software is included on every plan whether you fit sensors or not. Hardware can be bought or rented when you want it, and we fit it.

Yes. The sensor reads the machine's power signal rather than talking to its controller, so age, make and model do not matter. If it draws current, it can be monitored, and no PLC integration is needed.

In the UK, in a database of your own rather than your rows in a shared table, encrypted in transit and at rest, with access by role. There is a fuller answer in the trust and security section above.

Standard support is included on every plan, with no separate support contract and no charge per ticket. Deeper specialist work, such as process improvement or automation projects, is available on a day rate if you ever want it.

Less than you would expect on the floor, where the job is scanning and booking rather than learning a system. Initial training for your team is included with onboarding on every plan, and further days are available whenever you need them.
