On October 23, 2024, we hosted a webinar with printIQ to discuss the integration capabilities of PageDNA’s web to print software with their print MIS. Below is a brief recap of the webinar, which looks at how you can use these platforms to gain control of your ordering processes, increase visibility and throughput for your print shop, and remove touchpoints for you and your customers. We were even joined by a special guest—co-founder of APPi John Beadle—who provided his positive experience using this integration to achieve goals for his demanding print customers.
APPi Case Study
APPi is a commercial print company with over 30 years in the industry. They handle printing for some of the largest cruise lines in the world. Previously, APPi did everything manually—taking orders, processing payments, and providing updates. All these touchpoints meant lost time and money. But, once they began working with PageDNA and printIQ, they saw a dramatic change. Here are just some of the benefits APPi saw after implementing this integration:
- Faster processes (cut production timelines by 25%)
- Customers receive more accurate quotes faster
- APPi has more time to focus on growth thanks to automation
- Communication across the company and with customers is significantly better
These are just a few of the benefits John covers in the webinar. To learn more, you can watch the entire video below.
The PageDNA–PrintIQ Workflow
printIQ is a print production management information system (MIS) designed to track workflows, capture important details and data, and provide a centralized point of control and visibility over your print business.
By integrating printIQ with PageDNA’s web to print software, customers experience a top-of-the-line, customized storefront experience that then brings orders into an MIS platform in a touchless fashion. From there print shops can track them throughout production and improve efficiencies along the way.
Key Features
- Seamless integration. By working with PageDNA and printIQ, you gain a seamless integration between a robust online storefront and a sophisticated back-end print MIS. You can easily track jobs from order to shipment across both platforms while benefitting from each of their strengths.
- Two-way communication. If an order is placed on a PageDNA storefront, the job automatically gets routed to your printIQ MIS. As you make changes on either platform, the other will automatically update with information – including job status and finished goods inventory.
- Automated updates. Your customers can easily see the status of their jobs and orders. You can even automatically send updates to them as their order moves from production to shipment, stopping the “where is my order?” calls and emails in their tracks.
