What TQMsoft does

TQMsoft sp. z o.o. is a privately-held Polish company founded in 1996 and headquartered in Kraków, operating as an integrated provider of training, consulting, and production optimization technology for the manufacturing sector. The company distributes and integrates the Vorne XL family of IoT production monitoring appliances (XL810, XL800, XL HD+, XL Touch) — edge-computing devices delivering OEE, TEEP, and TPT metrics with PLC/ERP/MES integration via DataLink, OPC Server, and JSON APIs — alongside Minitab statistical software, Timer Pro Professional, and ProMSA. It also operates the CertomiQ online competency testing platform with 150+ validated tests.

The business operates three interlocking revenue streams: (1) training — a 643-course open catalog priced 1,250–3,400 PLN net per participant, closed (in-house) group training with negotiated pricing, and specialized Expert Paths certification programs plus a PersonAll® personal skills portfolio; (2) consulting — Lean, Six Sigma, TQM, ISO/IATF/VDA management systems, and SPC/MSA implementation billed as project engagements; (3) product distribution — Vorne XL hardware as one-time purchases with a 1,900 PLN import surcharge and no annual fees, Minitab Named User Annual Subscriptions, Timer Pro, and ProMSA. The company also operates government-funded training channels via Poland's KFS (80–100% subsidies) and PARP/BUR EU development services database, plus an English-language training offering for multinationals.

TQMsoft serves manufacturing enterprises primarily in Poland with some European reach, evidenced by 60+ named enterprise customers including Johnson Controls, ArcelorMittal, Electrolux, Autoneum, Wika, EnerSys, and Kongsberg Automotive. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 29990:2010 certifications, is registered in Poland's Training Institutions Register, and maintains academic ties to AGH University of Science and Technology. The company employs 11–50 people across functional divisions (open training, closed training, sales, engineering solutions, marketing) and celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2026.

Scale indicators10 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• iGrafx: Process mining and BPM software vendor whose process mapping and improvement capabilities overlap with TQMsoft's Lean, VSM, and SIPOC training and consulting services. A potential partner or substitute for the consulting engagement layer.

Others

• Minitab: Statistical software vendor for which TQMsoft is the official Polish partner and reseller. Minitab is not a direct competitor in Poland but its direct-sales motion and partner program define the addressable market for TQMsoft's Minitab-bundled training courses.
• Vorne Industries: US manufacturer of the Vorne XL product family that TQMsoft distributes in Poland and Europe. Not a direct competitor, but the upstream vendor whose commercial terms, product roadmap, and global brand set the ceiling on TQMsoft's hardware and integration revenue.

Broad incumbents

• Plex Systems (Rockwell Automation): Cloud-native MES/OEE platform competing with the Vorne XL production monitoring line TQMsoft distributes in Poland. Both target manufacturers seeking real-time OEE, downtime tracking, and ERP/MES integration, though Plex sells direct and at larger enterprise scale.
• SGS Poland: Global testing, inspection, and certification giant with a sizable Polish training arm covering ISO quality, automotive, and operational excellence standards. Directly comparable to TQMsoft's QMS/ISO training line and competes for the same manufacturing L&D budgets, but at materially greater scale and geographic reach.
• DNV Poland: Norwegian classification and certification society delivering ISO 9001/14001/45001 and management-systems training in Poland. Comparable to TQMsoft's management-system certification segment and broader quality training portfolio, with global brand recognition.
• TÜV Rheinland Poland: Another major German TIC and training incumbent with Polish presence, offering ISO, automotive, and soft-skills training to manufacturers. Targets the same compliance-driven training budgets as TQMsoft but from a global brand and audit-organization position.
• Bureau Veritas Poland: International TIC and training provider offering ISO 9001/IATF/AS9100, Lean, and Six Sigma training alongside certification audits in Poland. Overlaps with TQMsoft's QMS consulting and certification-prep training, but operates a far broader global portfolio.
• LRQA Poland: Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance training and certification provider with Polish coverage of ISO standards and sector-specific quality courses. Comparable curriculum and customer overlap with TQMsoft's ISO training and consulting lines.
• TÜV SÜD Poland: German-headquartered TIC and training group with Polish operations delivering ISO, automotive quality, and operational excellence courses. Comparable buyer base (Polish manufacturers) and curriculum scope (QMS, IATF, VDA), but with deeper international bench strength.
