History

IQMS was founded by Randy Flamm and Nancy Flamm in 1989 and began with a Microsoft DOS-based offering named IQGenesis.[6][7] IQMS moved its headquarters from Southern California to Paso Robles in 1995.[8] In 1997, the company developed EnterpriseIQ, a manufacturing ERP software for the repetitive, process, and discrete manufacturing industries.[7] In 2011, IQMS product EnterpriseIQ 7.8.1 won the Stevie Award for "New Product or Service of the Year - Manufacturing".[9] In 2012, the company introduced the RTStation, a touch-screen device engineered for at-machine use providing shop floor functionality.[10] In August 2015, Nemmers succeeded Flamm as CEO while Flamm remained chairman of the board of directors.[2]

In April 2016, the company announced a browser-based user interface for its EnterpriseIQ Manufacturing ERP system named WebIQ. The release allowed its clients to access the system from mobile phones, tablets, and off site computers.[11] In September 2016, the company announced the ability for clients to automatically back up their IQMS system data in secure offsite data storage locations.[12] That month, the company also partnered with the Community Foundation San Luis Obispo County to provide two students entering college in the STEM field with a $20 thousand scholarship.[13]

In 2017, IQMS was awarded a gold Stevie Award in the customer service team of the year category,[14] and the executive of the year category,[15] as well as a silver in the large computer software company of the year category.[16]
