What STIQ t/a Styleintelligence does

STIQ Ltd, trading as Styleintelligence, is a London-based, bootstrapped publisher founded in 2018 that operates a freemium market research platform focused on supply chain technologies. The company produces free-to-download PDF reports covering warehouse automation, robotics, WMS software, AGV/AMR, goods-to-person fulfillment robotics, loading/unloading automation, sortation equipment, mobile robot software, controls, system integrators, and humanoids, with content issued on a 2024-2026 publication cadence including a bundled annual report suite. Analysts originate from M&A research and due diligence backgrounds and operate under a codified editorial-independence policy in which the full report is reviewed internally prior to publication without external influence.

The company monetizes primarily through advertising against an audience of senior supply chain technology decision-makers, supplemented by a newly launched fee-based STIQ Database (beta, May 2026) of supply chain companies and events, a media pack for advertisers, and bespoke market-sizing consulting engagements. Distribution combines a Shopify-style storefront at stiq.ltd for direct report downloads, a self-serve database portal at database.stiq.ltd, a LinkedIn and YouTube presence, a newsletter, and an active event-led GTM motion covering 20-25 global supply chain technology conferences annually (LogiMAT, Modex, Automate, Zetes) alongside proprietary STIQrobotics networking events. Reported brand engagements at these events include GXO, DHL, IKEA, Inditex, H&M, Tesco, Saddle Creek Logistics, Ivy Technology, ZF Lifetec, and Haleon, though these are networking touchpoints rather than disclosed paying customers.
