With PlanProphet, printIQ and DocketManager Aim to Bring CRM and Sales Automation to Customers.

With PlanProphet, printIQ and DocketManager Aim to Bring CRM and Sales Automation to Customers. The two Banyan Software companies are now official resllers of PlanProphet solutions. Banyan Software, parent company of print Management Information System (MIS) platforms printIQ and DocketManager, together with PlanProphet, the leading Print CRM & Growth Platform, have announced a strategic partnership. The collaboration will bring Salesforce-powered CRM, sales automation, marketing automation, and growth-focused customers across Banyan's print software portfolio, while establishing printIQ and DocketManager as an official reseller of PlanProphet solutions. The agreement covers current and future integrations between PlanProphet and Banyan's print software portfolio, including printIQ andDocketManager. PlanProphet integrates with the MIS in real time, turning production and estimating data into a live view of every customer, every quote, and every opportunity in the pipeline. It multiplies the value customers already receive from their MIS, giving sales and marketing teams the automation and insight they need to win more work and grow existing accounts. John Alden, chief executive officer of printIQ and DocketManager, expressed his enthusiasm for the new partnership: "PlanProphet has built a strong reputation across the print industry for helping businesses turn their MIS customer and operational data into immediate opportunities for growth. Their deep understanding of print, combined with a proven approach to sales, marketing, and automation, makes them a natural partner for our customers. We're excited to bring that capability to our user base and give them a faster path to creating measurable value on the revenue side of their business." In addition to deepening technical integration and product alignment, printIQ and DocketManager will now resell PlanProphet solutions directly alongside its MIS products, providing customers with streamlined access to CRM and sales automation as part of their broader investment in print technology. Customers can add these capabilities through the same team they already work with, with both companies supporting them throughout. It creates a more unified experience from estimating and production to client engagement, retention, and growth. For print businesses, the impact is practical. Every quote gets followed up on, inactive accounts are re-engaged automatically, and marketing reaches customers consistently and systematically rather than when someone finds the time. Sales leaders gain full visibility into the pipeline, from first conversation to closed order, along with a clearer view of where the next revenue is coming from. Lemay Sanchez, co-founder and CEO of PlanProphet, added: "We're incredibly excited to welcome printIQ and DocketManager's customers into the PlanProphet ecosystem. We're also grateful for the trust printIQ and DocketManager has placed in our team and for the opportunity to work closely together to bring our platforms together in a meaningful way. By combining the strength of Banyan's MIS solutions with PlanProphet's sales, marketing, automation, and, our goal is to create a truly connected experience that allows their users to get more value from both systems and unlock new growth opportunities."
