DQ Technologies

What DQ Technologies does

DQ Technologies is a private software company founded in 1992 and headquartered in Leander, Texas (greater Austin area), operating as a business unit of Cordance Operations LLC. The company builds DQTv2, a cloud-based delivery management platform that combines dispatch, scheduling, route optimization, real-time GPS tracking, AI-powered dash cameras, electronic logging (ELD), proof of delivery, and automated customer communications into one integrated system. Its underlying technology stack includes open APIs for ERP integration, computer vision for driver-behavior detection, and AI-assisted scheduling for one-click route optimization. The platform is purpose-built for multi-stop, complex last-mile operations rather than general fleet tracking.

The company serves mid-market and enterprise distributors across automotive aftermarket, building materials, wholesale, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and general distribution verticals. Named reference customers include Williams Distributing, Athens Paper, Negwer Materials, Shaw/Stewart Lumber, Apex Supply, Rowley's Wholesale, Reynolds Company, and McNaughton-McKay. DQT generates revenue primarily through annual SaaS subscriptions priced per user/module, complemented by resale of third-party GPS and camera hardware and professional services for implementation, integration, and training. Distribution is via a direct enterprise field sales motion reinforced by a deep channel partner ecosystem — DQT is recommended by major ERP providers (Epicor, Infor, Oracle Netsuite, SAP Business One, ECI, Kerridge) and holds memberships in distribution buying groups (AD, HARDI, LMC). Operations are US-only with offices in Leander (HQ), Meridian, Idaho (support), and San Antonio (sales), and leadership includes a President, Director of Development, Professional Services Manager, and Office & Marketing Manager. The company has been continuously operating since 1992 with no disclosed external funding events.
