PrintIQ - the Queensland headquartered management workflow cloud-software developer has successfully expanded globally, particularly in the UK market where it has joined the online expo, printing-expo.online with a virtual booth.

| PrintIQ started in Wellington, expanded to Australia and is now on 3 continents |
PrintIQ is a great Australian - New Zealand success story. Founded by Anthony Lew in Wellington, NZ in 1999, it really began to take off when Mick Rowan, followed by ex-Kodak staffer and Visual Connections President Adrian Fleming got involved across the ditch from Burleigh Heads, Queensland. Both exited the business in September 2021 having accomplished much to reach the company's global footprint. Expansion into the UK and USA markets followed to the extent that these became the major breadwinners. Today there are PrintIQ offices in Manchester, UK; Ann Arbor MI, USA; Wellington NZ and still at Burleigh Heads, near the Gold Coast of Queensland. Over 50 employees are spread over five countries.

PrintIQ appeals to general commercial and Sign & Display printers because, as a Cloud-based management workflow, there is no software to download and it is always up to date and secure.
PrintIQ is a web based application, easily accessed from an internet browser. Production staff manage the factory while customers quote, order and track, all from within the same application. With no software to install, no separate web portal or online ordering system to add on, printIQ certainly does represent a quantum shift from what most printers are doing right now.
The modules include:
IQ Core
The printIQ Core is made up of 8 modules that create a seamless, end‑to‑end estimating, ordering and production workflow encompassing everything needed for your future success in print.
IQ Connect
As an extension to the printIQ Core, Connect Modules offer a range of optional tools that are designed to connect a business to a plethora of options. There are four categories in the “connect” range comprised of: API, Automate, Pre-Press, & VDP. Within these categories there are 12 modules.
IQ Plus
PrintIQ is a suite of integrated modules that form the management workflow system (MWS). Quoting is just the start, there is a range of modules that can be combined into the package at any stage to enhance the overall solution.
IQ Extend
Options to add another internal site, or a second satellite factory can be included. A range of licenses that can be combined into the package at any stage, enhance the overall solution.
IQ Further
Options to help printers get key business intelligence and data analytics, link into an automated freight quoting and booking process, easily manage the capacity of your factory, run jobs via a smartphone app, enter the lucrative ganging market, or create a streamlined logistics operation from within the print plant can be included.
