iQmetrix runs a public developer portal at developers.iqmetrix.com with REST APIs over RQ data: DataConnect for customer and sales records, VMI and CMI inventory, dropship, and eCommerce. Access is partner-gated, aimed at master agents and multi-location dealers rather than open signup.
RQ by iQmetrix scores D+ on the API Report Card. iQmetrix runs a public developer portal at developers.iqmetrix.com with REST APIs over RQ data: DataConnect for customer and sales records, VMI and CMI inventory, dropship, and eCommerce. Access is partner-gated, aimed at master agents and multi-location dealers rather than open signup.
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.
RQ is iQmetrix's flagship Retail Management System (RMS) and point-of-sale platform purpose-built for the wireless/telecom retail channel.
Vertical-specialist POS/RMS exclusively for wireless and telecom retail. A store associate uses an RQ POS terminal to ring device sales, accessories, and bill payments; performs carrier activations through integrated activation flows; takes trade-ins; books appointments via queue management; and processes B2B/commercial orders.
High inside its niche, niche outside it. Within North American wireless retail, RQ is widely considered the category leader and a default RMS for multi-location dealers; outside wireless it has effectively zero footprint.

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.
