ECO3 launches APOGEE IQ platform linking prepress and shop floor systems

ECO3 has introduced APOGEE IQ, an expansion of its APOGEE prepress workflow platform that connects business systems such as MIS, ERP and CRM with shop floor equipment and production data. The company says the platform gives print businesses real-time visibility into order status and production progress, addressing fragmented point-to-point integrations common in print operations.

Why this mattersTighter integration between prepress and shop-floor systems reduces manual handling and gives converters better production visibility as print operations grow more complex.

  • ECO3 announced APOGEE IQ on 24 September 2026 as the next generation of its APOGEE prepress workflow platform.
  • The platform is built around a central integration layer connecting business applications and production systems.
  • ECO3 says the system automates information flow between MIS, ERP, eCommerce, CRM, logistics and workflow tools.
  • The company positions the launch as extending automated prepress workflows into full print operation integration.
