We are absolutely thrilled that our market leading service and telematics app, ‘Pulse’ has been shortlisted for ‘App of the Year 2023’ in this year’s UK Business Tech Awards

The end of DST, which occurs on the last Sunday in October, is traditionally seen as the start of the gritting season in the UK. This is because the clocks go back one hour, which means that there is less daylight during the evening and morning commute, which in turn makes the temperature lower, the roads more slippery and increases the risk of accidents

OUTCO is delighted to be shortlisted as the Property Tech Company of the year 2023.

RoboGrit isn’t a fictional character. Not quite. In 2013 we started our first trials of an experimental robotic gritter prototype on real client sites. Looking like a hi-tech miniature dune buggy, it was an important testbed for technologies that included navigation, collision detection and spreading systems.
