DELMIAWorks Manufacturing ERP Reviews & Product Details

Absolutely nothing. This is the worst ERP EVER. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Horrible reporting - we've been told the reports are meant for "viewing" only and not for export, but even their canned reports can't be read/"viewed" because the formatting is absolute GARBAGE (I wish I was allowed to post a screenshot). They said that if we want to change the canned reports, it will cost us more. Even then, if we change or have them change the canned reports, every time the system goes through an update, the revised/custom reports disappear. The canned reports' summed totals also often do not "tie" to the actual numbers reported in the columns. That is just unbelievable to me.

Secondly, the navigation paths and end-user experience are super frustrating and nonsensical. Examples - pop up boxes for dates to enter the "posting" dates of transactions on a report when you've already entered the parameters of a report's posting period. The dates are sometimes formatted one way, sometimes another. And the popup box has to be clicked to type in it. Why not just have the cursor default to the place where you need to enter the following data piece? You can't tab through anything. We have LISTS of problems with this system, and they are all things they admit are frustrating but not "problems". If it's frustrating, how is that not considered a problem?

In the journal entries, you have to enter dates like a bunch of times... one for the posting month (makes sense), then one for the date of the journal (ok...) , and then one for EACH LINE ITEM in the JE. Why the heck would any line items have a date different from the date of the JE? Also, if you accidentally post in the wrong month, which you have to select a date to post it even though you've already chosen a posting month in the beginning, you cannot easily fix or edit or undo it. You have to do a JE to reverse the error and a new JE to correct it. This is so archaic and absolutely ridiculous. There are ways to create audit trails in most systems, so you have a record of the edit being done.

I don't have enough time to list all the problems with this system. But trust me when I say RUN, DON'T WALK as far away from implementing this garbage ERP as fast as you can. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IQMS uses Crystal Reports to modify and create reports.

Crystal reports is an easy to use report writer.

IQMS was designed /focused on the injection molding plastics industry and has functionality to support this industry.

Molding cycle times, cavities, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ERP systems usually support many different departments (Finance, Operations, IT, Engineering, Quality, Document Control, Planning, Purchasing, Inventory Control, etc). Designers of ERP systems usually have a habit of making some modules stronger than others. This is where you can have an ERP system that favors Finance, or Quality, or Purchasing, or Engineering, etc. It is unusual to have an ERP system be strong (or user-friendly) in all modules.

My primary role in using IQMS is for the supply chain. I have used many different MRP/ERP systems over the last 25 years.

Every MRP/ERP system that I have used in the past based it's Planning Module on fundamentals defined by APICS (American Production and Inventory Control Society). IQMS is the exception and that is not a good thing.

1. Missing Horizontal Planning Report or view.

2. Missing Pegging Report or view.

3. Missing ability to print/export all single-level or multi-level BOMs (Bill of Materials) at once.

4. Forecast or Planned Orders must be brought into the Factory Schedule to been seen. Which creates noise in the Factory Schedule.

5. If your company is a manufacturing company and heavily uses BOMs and MRP functionality, I would NOT recommend IQMS.

Standard Reports are horrible. Every Standard report uses indented formatting. This is ok if you are printing and reading a report.

For the last 25 years, I have always dumped reports into excel to review data.

The indented formatting of the standard reports makes the data unusable.

We have had to customize almost all reports to create "Flat File" that could be dumped into excel and easily used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using IQMS ERP, we are now capable of delivering cross-functional projects simultaneously. Either it be for production start-up dato or PO, Labelling and shipping - it all comes under one nest. The real time synchronization of purchasing to delivering became hassle free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can not find significant downside. But, I would like to mention that we need to train employees how to interpret the data in real time and act accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

some of its functions may have certain limitations that are tedious and manage in an appropriate way, I do not like that to make any changes have to update it again Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IQMS is very intuitive and has some excellent tools. The support desk is top notch! I usually can figure out what the problem is just by looking at the help files or user group. If that doesn't work I know I can always call the support desk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our company has been using the system for over 20 years. We were fortunate enough to be able to give a lot of input on the development of the system. Because the company has expanded so much we don't really have that option anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
