IQMS (DELMIAWorks) API
REST and GraphQL APIs exist only inside the WebAPI Module, a separately licensed add-on with non-public pricing sold through resellers. There is no developer portal or sandbox; docs ship as an offline .chm help file. Many integrators bypass it for direct ODBC against the database.
Frequently asked questions
IQMS (DELMIAWorks) scores F on the API Report Card. REST and GraphQL APIs exist only inside the WebAPI Module, a separately licensed add-on with non-public pricing sold through resellers. There is no developer portal or sandbox; docs ship as an offline .chm help file. Many integrators bypass it for direct ODBC against the database.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
DELMIAworks, formerly IQMS EnterpriseIQ, founded in 1989 in Paso Robles, CA and acquired by Dassault Systèmes in 2018, is a single-database ERP + MES platform purpose-built for discrete and batch manufacturers.
Vertical: Enterprise/HR/ERP, specifically combined Manufacturing ERP + MES for mid-market discrete and batch manufacturers, with a deep historical concentration in plastics processors and injection molders. Production supervisors and operators interact with DELMIAworks at terminals on the shop floor, clocking into work orders, recording good/scrap counts at each operation, and watching the RealTime production dashboard pull cycle times and downtime reasons directly from machine PLCs.
DELMIAworks is one of the named incumbents in plastics/injection-molding ERP+MES (alongside Plex Systems, IQMS-legacy competitors like ProcessPro/Deacom for process, and generic mid-market suites), but it has been steadily losing share in broader manufacturing ERP since the Dassault acquisition.
Yes, for a DELMIAworks customer the system is the operating system of record for essentially every revenue-, production-, quality-, and inventory-critical dataset.
IQMS was founded in 1989 in Paso Robles, CA by Randy and Gary Nemchausky as a plastics-industry-specific ERP/MES; the product was renamed EnterpriseIQ in the 1990s, acquired by Dassault Systèmes in 2018, and rebranded DELMIAworks in 2019 as part of the DELMIA manufacturing-operations brand inside the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
No public self-serve developer portal, there is no documentation site on 3ds.com or solidworks.com where an ISV can browse the API reference, register for a sandbox, or test calls without an existing DELMIAworks customer relationship and a separately licensed WebAPI Module. WebAPI Module is a paid add-on with non-public pricing, the API surface itself is gated behind a commercial conversation with Dassault/SOLIDWORKS resellers (TriMech, GoEngineer, XLM Solutions, DR Software) before any code can be written.

Common alternatives include Plex Systems (Rockwell Automation), Epicor Kinetic, Infor CloudSuite Industrial (SyteLine), Microsoft Dynamics 365 (Business Central / F&O / Supply Chain Management), Oracle NetSuite (Manufacturing Edition), Global Shop Solutions. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial IQMS (DELMIAWorks) API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write IQMS (DELMIAWorks) data. See the IQMS (DELMIAWorks) integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/iqms-delmiaworks-api.
