VANCOUVER, BC – April 23, 2013 – The Branham Group has ranked iQmetrix as the 13th most profitable software company in Canada for 2012 and #5 among Canadian Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) companies.

This is the third consecutive year iQmetrix has been included in the Branham300, which ranks Information and Communication Technology (ICT) companies based on gross annual revenues.

The Branham Group also ranked iQmetrix #65 among the Top 250 Canadian technology companies for 2012. "The Branham300" consists of these Top 250 companies, followed by Branham's list of "The Next 50 Canadian Technology Companies."

In previous years, iQmetrix ranked 14th among Canadian software companies for 2011; 15th for 2010. iQmetrix also ranked 76th among ICT companies for 2011; 86th for 2010. iQmetrix was ranked #3 among SaaS companies for 2011, which was a new Branham category that year.

VANCOUVER, BC – May 10, 2013 –  iQmetrix is pleased to announce the general availability of its XQ Browse for iPad app via the Apple App Store.

XQ Browse for iPad is a tablet version of XQ Browse, which typically functions on large mounted touchscreens within a retail store. Key advantages to XQ Browse for iPad are its portable form factor and ease of deployment in-store, as the Browse-equipped iPads can also be mounted on store counters and displays.

"This is a significant milestone for XQ as tablets play a key role in the in-store experience," says iQmetrix President and CEO Christopher Krywulak. "Browse for iPad offers our clients a cost effective and flexible means of introducing XQ Interactive Retail technology into their stores."

XQ Browse for iPad brings the familiarity of shopping via tablet into the physical store. It offers an attractive self-service option to customers when a store associate is unable to assist them right away. For the retailer, Browse for iPad frees up shelf space, because it easily displays a store's complete inventory. It also assists salespeople in guiding customers through the browsing process -- either on stationary mounted iPads or anywhere in store, carrying the iPad around with them. Tablet solutions are helpful to B2B sales reps as well; they can display the entire product and service lineup while making sales presentations on the go.

"Browse for iPad engages our customers with information to make better decisions and empowers our staff to speak about the products more confidently," says Dean Leja, VP of Cellular and More, a Michigan-based Verizon Premium Retailer.

WINNIPEG, MB - Nov. 12, 2014 - iQmetrix was pleased to present its first-ever Females in Technology Scholarship to 2014 recipient Jennifer Cabral on Saturday, Nov. 8, as part of a Girls Learning Code event in Winnipeg.

Jennifer, a 2nd-year Computer Science student at the University of Manitoba, won the $2,500 scholarship by writing an essay answering the question: How to Get More Women Interested in Computer Science. Read Jennifer's winning essay

The iQmetrix Females in Technology (FIT) committee selected Jennifer because her essay outlined meaningful and actionable ways to increase girls' and women's interest in computer science, says iQmetrix FIT co-founder Melissa Kendall (pictured above-left, with Jennifer).

"A lot of Jennifer's suggestions were things we, as a group, were trying to do," says Kendall. "In some cases, Jennifer suggested things we were already doing, like the Girls Learning Code event we hosted on Saturday. We felt it made sense to present Jennifer with the scholarship at the event, because we consider her a great role model for the girls in attendance, and for any girl interested in a career in technology.

"On behalf of the FIT committee and iQmetrix as a whole we would like to congratulate Jennifer and wish her the best in her career."

Founded in 2013, iQmetrix FIT is devoted to seeking opportunities to support women in technology and assisting in (or creating) opportunities to promote females in technology. The group is also committed to promoting Computer Science to all youth. iQmetrix FIT has six members (3 women; 3 men) out of iQmetrix's Winnipeg office.

-- Interactive, Flexible and Engaging Applications for Retailers and Consumers Highlighted at CTIA 2012 --

NEW ORLEANS (CTIA Booth #1432) May 8, 2012– iQmetrix, the leading provider of retail management software for the North American wireless industry, today announced three new retail solutions that bring elements of the online shopping experience into the physical store: XQ Interactive Retail™ AppStream™, XQ Interactive Retail Browse™ for iPad®, and PocketRQ™ Inventory.

Online and mobile shopping have changed the way consumers research, compare and purchase products. To stay competitive, retailers must provide an omni-channel experience: offering the information, convenience, and user interface consumers expect from online and mobile channels – all within the store. iQmetrix’s three new solutions provide retailers with tools to engage customers, boost sales and manage inventory, while also creating a unique overall shopping experience.

NEWS FACTS:

XQ AppStream– a new consumer-facing application of the XQ Interactive Retail SaaS solution that displays a variety of mobile apps on an interactive touchscreen interface. With the increasing number of smartphone applications available, it’s difficult for consumers to choose new apps. With XQ AppStream, consumers can select an app to learn more about it and/or scan a QR code to download the app to their mobile devices while in the store.
•    Enables consumers to browse smartphone applications through an interactive interface. With XQ AppStream, retailers can curate apps according to themes and uniquely display them, thus becoming a “trusted advisor” or source of recommendations for consumers.
•    Engages consumers in-store by providing them with an entertaining experience and educational product content.
•    Attracts consumers into the store and creates customer loyalty by displaying apps, clustered according to areas of interest. Staff picks encourage customers to return to the store to see which apps are most popular.

XQ Browse for iPad– a virtual product catalog that offers in-depth information on available devices, rate plans, accessories and feature add-ons via an in-store touchscreen display or handheld tablet. Now available for iPad, XQ Browse gives retailers even more flexibility for empowering customers and staff with on-demand product information.
•    Provides retailers with a mobile sales aid and training tool. Staff can carry the iPad with them anywhere in the store to walk consumers through product and feature options. The application also keeps all parties updated on new product releases and specs.
•    Offers flexible display options that include hand-held cases, counter displays and free standing kiosks.
•    Digitally extends retail shelf space, allowing retailers to digitally display their entire product line and keeping more products in the back. This maximizes floor space and helps decrease inventory loss.
•    Provides an in-depth shopping experience by providing consumers with the ability to browse product catalogs, compare products and make an informed purchase decision.
•    Creates a unique shopping experience, allowing consumers to drill down through available products and features and build a shopping list, selecting a device, rate plan, features, and accessories. Consumers can either send their shopping list to the point-of-sale for convenient checkout or scan a system-generated QR code to save their shopping list to their smartphone.

PocketRQ Inventory– allows retail staff to efficiently perform inventory counts by scanning items in the back of house and checking stock availability while in the front of house.
•    Increases sales and speeds up customer service by providing salespeople with the ability to quickly check inventory stock for requested items, increasing customer satisfaction.
•    Maintains a constant presence on the sales floor by providing staff with the tools they need to check stock up front. More importantly, it keeps them accessible to customers as they do so.
•    Reduces error-prone and time-consuming inventory counts by allowing employees to quickly and accurately count serialized and non-serialized products, eliminating errors and re-counts.
•    Provides staff with the power to regularly count inventory, thus reducing losses due to theft and inventory shrinkage.

SUPPORTING QUOTE:
