iqmeta GmbH joins Zebra Technologies' PartnerConnect program

Registered ISV in the Zebra PartnerConnect program

Waldenbuch, Germany - September 2026. iqmeta GmbH, the company behind zplCloud.com, today announced its participation in the Zebra® PartnerConnect program. The award-winning program is recognised as a leading channel program, designed to help partners grow, build deeper expertise and serve customers more effectively. Zebra Technologies provides the foundation for intelligent operations with an award-winning portfolio of connected frontline, asset visibility and automation solutions powered by AI.

iqmeta joins as a Registered ISV, focusing on cloud software for printing, RFID and the support services around them.

What this means for zplCloud users

zplCloud has always spoken the printers' own language: ZPL, sent to Zebra hardware over Link-OS, Weblink or a local connector. Being a registered ISV puts that on a formal footing.

• Direct access to the platform. Firmware behaviour, Link-OS capabilities and printer-side details no longer have to be reverse-engineered from the outside - they come from the source.
• Tested against real hardware. Everything zplCloud produces ends up on a physical printer. Closer access to devices and documentation means fewer surprises between preview and print.
• A shorter path for questions. Technical support and the partner network shorten the way from a customer's problem to an answer.

Nothing about how you use zplCloud changes: the designer, the API, the print views and the connectors work exactly as before. What changes is what stands behind them.
