PrintIQ is extremely scalable and will grow as your organization grows. By adding more functionality to your printIQ platform, you will find less manual intervention and more time to focus on the tasks that matter most. Additional functionality includes:
Whether your labels inventory is large or small, a simple issue with the stock may eclipse normal operations and while
you divert time and resources to tracing a product, supplier relations, customer satisfaction, and brand perception may be
rapidly eroding in the background.
Analytics provides business intelligence displayed on a series of printIQ dashboards with individual tiles displaying the key information. End users securely interact with analytics through a rich, 100% web-based interface, on any device anytime, anywhere. Users can get real-time access to reports and dashboards through any browser.
A report writing function is included with the Analytics module and advanced users can also purchase training so that they can create their own reports, dashboards and data visualisations inside the applications they use every day.

Data Capture allows users to run a job through production via a smartphone, tablet app (or barcode scanner) removing the need to be tied to a computer or expensive wireless equipment. Data Capture provides the ability to start, pause and finish job tasks at an operational level. Users can start / pause / and finish job operations via the app, or scanner, which will record time against an operation and update the Job status in real time.
App Users will also receive instant feedback if they’ve scanned the wrong barcode, whilst having the ability to correct mistakes directly from the app. It also works as an advanced dispatch management tool that kicks off as each item is being packed. The data-capture module provides the ability to scan each item as it is transferred into larger cartons and onto pallets, thereby creating a simple but effective quality control process that then ties seamlessly into your outwards goods workflow. The app is available on both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store and can be used on smartphones and tablets.
The Benefits
The Gang Module allows an operator to filter jobs by a combination of: job & section status, stock & stock laminating combinations, and finishing options. The filtered set can then be adjusted to create a gang, parent, or master job. The new job can be manipulated within printIQ to suit specific sheet sizes, presses, and/or quantities. The gang job can then be created directly (at the click of a button) in printIQ. The gang job will contain all of the individual jobs and list them as ‘child’ jobs of the ganged ‘parent job. The Parent job will be viewable on the printIQ ‘All Jobs’ and ‘Production’ boards and available to be both printed and cut.
We also include the extra functionality to allow the information to be exported as a Batch in ppxml, mxml, or xml, format to your chosen imposition program (Impostrip, IMP, Metrix). The batch export will contain all of the individual jobs that will be processed by the ganging software. The ganging software can then be used to create a single, or multiple gang jobs and return those to printIQ. The import from the imposition program will create a gang job, or jobs, directly in printIQ.
The Benefits
The Campaign module adds a level of sophistication to campaign management that will exponentially simplify this difficult and time-consuming process. Start with a (customizable) multi-delivery spreadsheet upload and an automatically generated picking list (with verified quantities and thumbnail images!) and the process is already becoming easier.
However, when you add the scan-in scan-out location/s (all recorded against each item) and the visual pack-out screens, plus the ability to have a job being produced, packed and delivered simultaneously you start to see the future of campaign management, and it makes perfect sense!

As the industry becomes more aware of the carbon impact that it makes on our world it will start to adapt and change. To make any change you need to know where you are actually starting from with solid information and technical data. printIQ has already stepped up to the mark with ‘Carbon Connect’ which a bi-directional feature that works in conjunction with a company called CarbonQuota. printIQ allows you to very quickly assess the footprint of any job to be produced at the quote stage. It provides you with data that you can make firm decisions on and adjust accordingly.
Being able to reflect these figures puts you ahead of your competition when it comes to winning contracts with large brands and shows the responsibility that you take as a company to tackle this environmental issue.
