Position IO's hand hygiene data as a safety and compliance layer that can be tied to staff identity to strengthen security and infection-prevention programs. Target HID's healthcare clients with bundled solutions and joint marketing initiatives.

Channel Expansion IO already collaborated with Medline to reach hospitals; this channel can be deepened to scale deployments. Propose co-selling and exclusive terms with Medline plus additional distributors to accelerate adoption across hospital systems and care facilities.

Mid Market Focus With a small team and revenue in the mid-market range, IO can win with a low-touch, repeatable deployment model.
