Management software company IQ Australia has exhibited at the 'largest ever' International Sign Association expo in Las Vegas, calling it a 'great show'.
Mick Rowan, director of IQ, said the stand at ISA International Sign Expo - held from April 19 to 22 - attracted plenty of interest in its PrintIQ workflow solution. "We demoed for potential customers from Houston to New Jersey, and Orlando to Seattle in the US, and in Canada we did Edmonton to Montreal, and Calgary to Saskatoon. We even have a hot prospect in Belize. It was a great show indeed," he said.
Billed as a 'management workflow system', PrintIQ is operated from within a web browser, and has no complicated software installations, and no separate web portals or online ordering systems. This means shorter implementation times and lower up-front costs, Rowan says. “Production staff manages the factory while customers quote, order and track, all from within the same application. If you combine this with shorter, less costly development cycles and simplifiedfunctionality updates, it’s not surprising that printIQ is growing a loyal fan base,” he said.
ISA Expo 2017 saw more than 20,500 visitors over four days, a record for the show. Lori Anderson, president and CEO of the International Sign Association, hailed the event as a big success. “There is no doubt that ISA International Sign Expo is the only trade show that brings together the breadth of the sign, graphics and visual communications industry and those who influence it. Every minute of the four-day education and trade show offered opportunities to make valuable connections, learn groundbreaking ideas and see innovative products and services to help businesses grow," she said.
Anderson believes that shows like ISA Expo are vital for bringing awareness of innovations like PrintIQ to the attention of industry professionals. “Getting to see these innovations in action can propel businesses and the industry forward. It is early enough in the year that sign, graphics and visual communications companies can capture these innovations to make 2017 one of their best yet,” Anderson said.
