IQMS Releases EnterpriseIQ SB

Leading ERP Solution Now Packaged for Small Single-Site Manufacturers

Paso Robles, CA May 1, 2008 -IQMS, a leader in the design and development of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, today released a small business (SB) edition of EnterpriseIQ, the company’s widely-used, single-source ERP software. Packaged to meet the needs of single-site manufacturers, EnterpriseIQ SB provides a proven ERP foundation bundled with RealTime Machine Monitoring at a lower price point than the full version. IQMS achieves the lower price benefit by packaging just the functionality required by manufacturers with single-plant operations while still maintaining the scalability needed to support long term growth potential.

“There’s a growing demand for innovative ERP and machine monitoring software solutions targeted to small manufacturers.” says Randy Flamm, president and founder of IQMS. “To be competitive and grow, small manufacturers need the same visibility and control over core business data and shop floor operations that large-scale manufacturers enjoy, but more often than not small production volumes do not warrant large ERPinvestments. With EnterpriseIQ SB, we are giving small manufacturers a cost-effective means to drive efficient, lean operations with the ability to move to the more advanced system if and when they need to. Now small manufacturers can operate on a level playing field with their larger competitors.”

EnterpriseIQ SB bundles the core ERP system capability found in the full version
along with IQMS’ RealTime Machine Monitoring solution. Optional modules available include Preventative Maintenance and Payroll. Functionality such as manufacturing and nventory management, quality control, sales, distribution, financial and accounting management are all included in a single database and at a very affordable price. Certain functionality used to support larger or more complex operations is not included in the SB version but can be obtained via a simple migration path to expanded version such as Enterprise LE and full EnterpriseIQ that easily manages multiple facility locations.

Customers who will benefit most from EnterpriseIQ SB are those who operate a single facility and currently have no true ERP system (i.e. Spreadsheets or off the shelf accounting) but want to combine ERP and machine monitoring. By choosing EnterpriseIQ SB these customers will gain a comprehensive, single-source ERP solution that can be tailored to fit their business needs and designed to scale up with optional modules that work seamlessly within the core system. The scalability of the SB package illustrates the very core of the IQMS philosophy – help the customer grow more lean and agile and provide them with the last ERP system they will ever need to buy.
