IQMS was founded by Randy 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. In September 2016, the company announced the ability for clients to automatically back up their IQMS system data in secure offsite data storage locations.[11] 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.[12]
In 2017, IQMS was awarded a gold Stevie Award in the customer service team of the year category,[13] and the executive of the year category,[14] as well as a silver in the large computer software company of the year category.[15]
