Explaining Our Machine IQ Subscription Plan
On 25th September we have launched the new Machine IQ model, which introduced subscription packages both for dealers and customers. In this article we would like to provide you an overview of those packages and actions dealers need to take to have access to all information provided by Machine IQ.
Rest assured that even after the launch of our subscription model, dealers will still have access to key information such as service opportunities, maintenance reminders, and engine hours. You can easily access this information 24/7 via your MIQ Dealer Account, both on your phone and computer, without any additional hassle.
However, to fully benefit from Machine IQ and gain complete access to all the information that Dealers had prior to September 25th, Dealers and/or customers will need to subscribe to one of the subscription packages. Please refer to the information provided below, which outlines these options.
- Scenario 1 “No Subscription”
- In the case that neither the customer nor the dealer has purchased a subscription, then no subscription will be assigned to the machine.
- The dealer still has access to the basic information highlighted in the green box below which lists the functions included in the Dealers’ Standard Subscription Package
- The customer does not have access to any information on the Machine IQ system.
- No additional cost applies to the Dealer or the customer.
Figure 1 No Subscription. This is how the Fleet Management Assets page will look when no subscription package is activated. Note that Dealers can still see basic information and working hours, but the machine’s location, fuel levels, health, and other functions included in the Standard or Premium packages are not available.
- Scenario 2 “Customer buys a subscription”
- The dealer sells a Premium or Standard Package to the customer.
- The customer then has access to the information according to the package purchased (see below for an overview of features included in the packages).
- The customer pays the subscription cost.
- The Dealer ‘inherits’ the package, meaning they also have access to the same information as the customer at no additional cost.
- Scenario 3 “Dealer buys a subscription”
- If a customer is not interested in a subscription but the dealer still wants access to the machine’s data then…
- The Dealer may purchase their preferred subscription at a reduced rate (see below for an overview of features included in the packages)
- The Dealer pays for the subscription.
Figure 2 Standard Subscription. This machine has the Standard Package activated. Note that the machine’s location (on the map) and fuel levels are now available compared to the no subscription option.
Figure 3 The Premium Package provides access to all information available on Machine IQ.
If you would like to access features available in one of the packages, please follow the steps outlined below to get started.

Choose Your Path: Premium or Standard
We offer two options: one for the dealer (DMIQ) and one for the customer (CMIQ), each with two subscription packages designed to meet your unique needs. You can view them side by side and note some key differences in the image below.
