The output principle

One word. Four meanings.

Every operation runs on its output — but output isn't the same thing twice. Output IQ measures whatever yours happens to be, in the language your team already uses.

output /ˈaʊtpʊt/ noun

What your business produces, moves, or sells — captured at the source and measured live.

  1. 1
    Manufacturing make

    Units produced. Off the line, by shift, by site — every job counted as it completes.

  2. 2
    Logistics & distribution move

    Deliveries completed. Routes, drops, and dwell time — tracked from the depot to the door.

  3. 3
    Wholesale move

    Orders shipped. Lines picked, fill rates, and back-orders — visible the moment an order moves.

  4. 4
    Multi-site retail sell

    Sales rung up. Takings, baskets, and stock on hand — every till, every store, in real time.

By industry

Four operations. One system.

The same platform, tuned to how your sector actually works — its language, its metrics, its day-to-day. Open the one that's yours.

Covers Discrete, process, food & beverage, automotive, electronics, and contract / make-to-order.

What gets in the way today

  • Production scheduled in spreadsheets that are out of date by the morning meeting.
  • No live view of the floor — you find out about a stoppage when the numbers miss.
  • Quality and scrap issues surface days later, long after the batch has shipped.

What Output IQ does

  • BOMs, routings and work orders in one place, driving the schedule automatically.
  • Live shop-floor capture from connected sensors — output, downtime and OEE as they happen.
  • Scrap and yield flagged at the line, so a problem is caught on the shift it occurs.
Explore Manufacturing

Covers Distribution, 3PL & fulfilment, transport, and field service.

What gets in the way today

  • ASNs and proof-of-delivery live in email threads and paper run-sheets.
  • No live picture of where vehicles are or which drops are running late.
  • Stock truth is split across depots, so no one figure is trusted.

What Output IQ does

  • Inbound and outbound goods (ASNs) tracked end to end, no re-keying.
  • Live route and drop status, with dwell time and on-time delivery on one screen.
  • One stock position across every depot, updated as goods move.
Explore Logistics & distribution

Covers Trade & B2B, importers, cash & carry, and eCommerce supply.

What gets in the way today

  • Orders re-keyed between the website, the inbox and the accounts package.
  • Fill rate and back-orders are guesswork until someone runs a report.
  • Customer pricing, discounts and terms sprawl across spreadsheets.

What Output IQ does

  • Order-to-dispatch handled in one flow, from any channel into one queue.
  • Live fill rate, open orders and back-orders the moment an order moves.
  • Price lists, customer terms and discounts held centrally and applied automatically.
Explore Wholesale

Covers High-street, forecourt, hospitality & food service, and eCommerce / D2C.

What gets in the way today

  • Each store reports differently, so head office never compares like with like.
  • Stock on the system doesn't match what's actually on the shelf.
  • Month-end is the first you hear that a site missed its target.

What Output IQ does

  • Every till feeds one live sales figure — by store, by region, by hour.
  • Stock on hand per site, reconciled continuously against sales.
  • Sales versus target by store, live — so a slow week is a Tuesday problem, not a month-end one.

One platform

Different operations. Same backbone.

Whatever you make, move, or sell, it all runs on one system — so the data is joined up end to end, not stitched together after the fact.

Manufacturing Logistics & distribution Wholesale Multi-site retail
OUTPUTIQ The backbone
  • Automated ERP Orders, stock, purchasing and finance in one joined-up core.
  • Real-time data analysis Your live position, turned into decisions the moment data lands.
  • Connected sensors Capture straight from the floor — no clipboards, no re-keying.

Moving across

Built to switch to, not to be trapped by.

Legacy ERP makes leaving hard on purpose. We took the opposite view — quick to start, easy to live with, and yours to leave if it ever stops earning its place.

Time to live

Legacy ERP 6–18 months
Output IQ Weeks

Configured to your operation and live in a quarter, not a financial year.

Switching over

Legacy ERP Rip and replace
Output IQ Run alongside

Keep what works and move across when you're ready — not in one risky weekend.

Pricing

Legacy ERP Enterprise tiers, seat minimums
Output IQ Per licence

Pay for the licences you use. No minimums, no enterprise-only gate.

Commitment

Legacy ERP Multi-year lock-in
Output IQ Rolling terms

Stay because it earns its place, not because the contract traps you.

Every claim here is one we'll stand behind on a call — no asterisks.

Customer stories

Run the business, not the spreadsheets.

We don't publish our customers' names — on purpose.

Naming the businesses we work with would hand competitors a list to go and poach. So our proof comes anonymised — role and sector only, never a logo or a company name. It's a deliberate stance, and one our customers value as much as we do.

FAQ

Will it fit how we work?

The questions we get asked most when a business is weighing up whether Output IQ is right for their sector.

We're not a textbook manufacturer or retailer — will it still fit?

Almost certainly. Output IQ is built around output — what you make, move, sell, or service — and configures to the way your operation actually works rather than forcing you into a fixed template. If your business runs on things produced, shipped, sold, or jobs completed, it maps.

Do you handle process manufacturing as well as discrete?

[Placeholder] Yes — alongside discrete work orders, BOMs and routings, it handles batch, recipe, yield and traceability for process and food & beverage operations. Confirm the exact process capabilities you support before publishing.

Our industry isn't on your list. Does that mean it won't work?

No. The industries we show are where Output IQ runs today, not the limit of what it can do — the ERP, real-time analysis and sensor backbone is industry-agnostic. Tell us how your operation works and we'll show you exactly how it maps.

How does moving off Sage or a legacy ERP work?

[Placeholder] Output IQ runs alongside what you've got and you migrate in stages — start with one area, prove it, then move the rest. There's no big-bang switchover. Replace this with your real migration approach and any supported import paths.

Do we have to replace everything at once?

No. Keep the systems that work, connect Output IQ to them, and move across at your own pace — not in one risky weekend.

How long until we're live?

[Placeholder] Weeks, not the 6–18 months a legacy rollout takes — with the first useful insights showing up within days. Replace with your real onboarding timeline.

How is it priced for a business our size?

[Placeholder] Per licence, with no seat minimums and no enterprise-only gate, so it scales down to an SME as easily as up. See the pricing page for the detail.
