Investor opportunity
IntegraIQ is not simply looking for an investor, but for a partner.
We are looking for a reliable partner who believes that the future of manufacturing will not always be changed by buying new machines, but by adopting a new way of thinking. IntegraIQ is a retrofit industrial gateway platform that turns legacy injection molding, CNC, and other industrial machines into usable data sources for modern manufacturing systems. We now need a partner who can help us move to market quickly, with focus and long-term commitment.
Investor snapshot
Why this matters
A real industrial pain point with strong ROI logic
A large share of plastics, CNC machining, and general manufacturing plants still operate 10–20 year old machines that are mechanically sound but cannot natively connect to modern ERP, MES, or production analytics systems. Replacing machines is capital intensive; manual data collection is slow, inaccurate, and expensive. IntegraIQ addresses this with a non-invasive retrofit approach.
Business model
One-time hardware plus recurring software revenue
The model is built to combine low-friction hardware adoption with predictable, high-margin subscription revenue. This supports early self-sustainability and builds a growing recurring revenue base that can materially increase company value over time.
- Hardware package: approx. EUR 350–450 per machine
- Cloud / SaaS: approx. EUR 15–25 per machine / month
- Custom integrations: project-based engineering fees
- Estimated 70%+ gross margin on hardware
- Estimated ~90% gross margin on software
Competitive angle
Not just a router, not just a vendor-specific add-on
Generic industrial router vendors usually provide the connectivity pipe, but not the application intelligence. OEM software modules are expensive and limited to specific machine brands. IntegraIQ is positioned as a turnkey, retrofit, brand-agnostic bridge for mixed production environments.
- Non-invasive data capture via USB / RS232 plus GPIO-based signal capture
- No PLC or CNC controller modification required
- Works across mixed machine fleets
- Expandable toward ERP / MES / MQTT / OPC UA integrations
Roadmap
3-phase commercialization plan
The growth path is structured to reduce both technical and market risk step by step: first pilot validation, then industrial qualification and manufacturing preparation, and finally commercial rollout.
- 0–6 months: 10–15 machine pilot across 3 partner plants
- 6–12 months: CE / EMC certification and outsourced manufacturing setup
- 12–18 months: first 50 paying SME customers in the CEE region
Why now?
The retrofit digitalization window is opening now
Manufacturers are under simultaneous pressure from cost control, labor shortages, reporting expectations, and digital transformation mandates. Full machine replacement is too expensive; manual data collection is too slow. This creates a strong timing advantage for fast-to-deploy retrofit connectivity and machine-state monitoring solutions.
- gradual digitalization instead of large CAPEX
- large installed base of aging mixed-brand machine fleets
- growing need for ERP / MES / dashboard integrations
- retrofit is also attractive from a sustainability angle
What we are looking for
Not only capital, but a reliable partner who can move quickly
We are looking for a partner who can contribute more than funding: industrial relationships, go-to-market experience, or support in international expansion would be especially valuable — especially if they see retrofit not as a compromise, but as one of the smartest paths to industrial digitalization. What we need now is not passive capital, but shared momentum.
- Accelerating product-market validation
- Rapidly expanding customer acquisition and pilot deployments
- Scaling delivery and deployment capacity reliably
- A decisive, long-term partner role in execution
Use of funds
Focused capital deployment for industrialization
The investment is intended primarily for scalable productization and commercial execution rather than generic overhead: certifications, B2B channel building, and inventory readiness for faster delivery.
- 40% hardware industrialization and certifications
- 35% B2B sales and marketing channels
- 25% component pre-financing and working capital
Exit potential
Recurring revenue and strategic acquisition logic create upside
From an investor perspective, the attractiveness of IntegraIQ is not limited to hardware sales. Hardware enables installation footprint; software creates predictable, high-margin recurring revenue and strengthens the case for future strategic acquisition by industrial IoT, MES, or automation players.
- recurring SaaS revenue layer
- potential for early self-sustainability
- strategic acquisition appeal for industrial IoT / MES / automation companies
- company value can strengthen over time on recurring revenue foundations
