History

The company was founded in 1993 as GQM Gesellschaft für Qualitätsmanagement mbH and began development of its manufacturing execution system (MES) and quality management system.^[1] That same year GQM began working with Unternehmensberatung Weihenstephan GmbH on the continued development of Weihenstaphan's system "Qualifax - A system for computer-aided quality assurance" for the dairy industry.^[2] Two other branches of the company were created in 1994 and 1998. All three divisions were united under GQM mbH in 2002.^[1]

On January 1, 2007, Unternehmensberatung Weihenstephan and GQM were officially merged, with Weihenstephan and their Qualifax product line being integrated with GQM's products.^[3]^[1]

Features

The following feature list(s) is/are derived solely from public, freely-available online information the vendor provides. A lack of a "Y" does not necessarily mean that the product doesn't have that feature. The lack of a "Y" could mean:

the vendor chose to not put relevant feature information online despite its existence in the product.
the vendor chooses to make the feature information available only to those who create an account or call/e-mail.
the feature information exists online to the public, but a URL could not be found to cite the existence of the feature.
the feature does not exist for the product.

A vendor's product may receive more confirmed features with the addition of more public information to the vendor's site and/or by providing a URL to a page or document that can act as a citation for the existence of the feature. Prospective buyers are highly recommended to contact the vendor directly to verify features as this list isn't authoritative, and product upgrades and changes happen rapidly in some cases.
