Industry · Manufacturing

Listen to your users before you retool the line.

Machines, components, services: manufacturing decisions tie up capital for years — and the knowledge of what users really need sits buried in trade-show chats and service tickets. Klymeo runs structured in-depth interviews with users, buyers, and partners in German and English, optionally voice-led with a Voice Agent — and turns them into an evidenced basis for decisions.

Best for: Product management, sales operations, and strategy at manufacturers — machinery, components, suppliers, industrial services.

Manufacturing · The blind spot

The spec sheet says what was required. Not what gets in the way on the job.

There's a long road between what the spec sheet says and what users actually experience at the machine: feedback comes filtered through service, anecdotally from a trade show, or not at all. Asking systematically fails on effort — plant visits and interview rounds take weeks, and the product manager doesn't have them.

What stays open as long as only the service report speaks.
Which function gets bypassed in daily use, what really decides a repeat purchase, what customers would pay for — that stays a guess until someone asks it in a conversation. A gap, not a drama: it's just not filled yet.
Without verbatim · just ticket data
What the report shows
Few complaints, steady maintenance rate — the product seems to fit.
What the report leaves open
That users have long since worked around a clumsy function — and at the next investment cycle they'll trial the competitor who solved exactly that.
How Market Research works

From study to evidenced number.

Four connected steps — from a defined user study to the number that backs every statement, per study, with a quote. By link to your customers and partners, with no plant visit and no weeks of lead time.

  1. 1
    Set up

    Define the study, screening & quotas

    Live

    Set up a separate interview study per question, with a screening gate and quotas in front — only the right audience enters the interview, the rest is turned away cleanly and GDPR-compliantly.

  2. 2
    Collect

    Open link, your own pool or panel

    Live

    Share an open study link, invite your own participant pool or recruit through the panel integration. Participants start on their own — the AI interview runs in German and English, optionally led audibly by the Voice Agent.

  3. 3
    Understand

    Synthesis per study

    Live

    Every interview becomes backed-by-evidence findings — themes, purchase intent, pricing signals, competition — extracted with the Market Lens and anchored in the transcript instead of a gut feeling.

  4. 4
    Compare

    Cross-study, exactly counted

    Live

    Ask across all studies. Klymeo counts deterministically — “in 3 of 7 studies” — and backs every number with a quote from the respective study. No invented trends.

Manufacturing · The evidenced answer

From trade-show hearsay to a structured voice of the user.

Set up a separate study for each question — user satisfaction, service quality, the need for the next product generation. Invite customers, users, and partners by link; the screening gate makes sure the right role answers — operator, maintenance, or procurement. Klymeo interviews in German and English, optionally voice-led with a Voice Agent for everyone who'd rather talk than type, and distills the conversations into themes, camps, and verbatim quotes — exportable as PDF or PowerPoint for the investment committee.

A number you can defend in the investment committee.
When someone asks “how do we know that?”, you show the number — with the user's verbatim quote right beside it. Nothing extrapolated, nothing secondhand.
Market Lens · evidenced per study
Question
What decides repeat purchases among existing customers?
Answer
In 4 of 6 studies, price wasn't the deciding factor — spare-parts availability and service response time were, every number backed by a quote.
Evidence from an interview
“The machine is top-notch — but when the line is down and the spare part takes three weeks, the best price does nothing for me.”
Manufacturing · Before the investment

Validate the next product generation before it's engineered.

The same study works the other way around too: before a new product line, a digital service offering, or a spare-parts subscription gets developed, you ask the users first. Show the concept as a stimulus right inside the interview — draft data sheet, control interface, service model — and let exactly the people who'll later work with it or buy it react.

An evidenced foundation before engineering and tooling start.
Instead of learning from complaints after the production ramp-up, you walk into the decision with a number that shows what users really need — and what they'd pay for.
Concept Test · before engineering
Question
Will the planned service subscription land with existing customers?
Answer
In 3 of 5 studies, clear interest — the most common condition: response times have to be contractually guaranteed. Every number backed by a quote.
Evidence from an interview
“For a guaranteed 24 hours I'll happily pay — for a better-than-nothing promise, not a cent.”
Evidenced, not guessed

What Market Research delivers, concretely.

Every capability works on real interviews with real users and buyers — structured, not anecdotal.

Live

AI interviews in German and English — also by voice

Structured in-depth interviews in natural spoken language. On request the Voice Agent leads the conversation audibly — participants simply speak, the transcript stays the source.

Live

Stimulus: show drafts live

Show concepts, packshots, ads or landing pages right in the interview — your audience responds to exactly the material you want to test.

Live

Screening gate & quotas

Qualify participants before the interview and steer the sample — the right audience gets in, the rest is turned away cleanly and GDPR-compliantly.

Live

Market Lens

Extracts pricing signals, purchase intent, segment and competition — tailored to market and consumer questions, anchored in the transcript.

Live

Deterministic cross-study counting

“In 3 of 7 studies” — exactly counted, not estimated; every number backed by a quote per study. No invented trends.
