More Details ...
For over 25 years we have dedicated ourselves to the development and manufacturing of high-performance software solutions for state-of-the-art quality and environmental management. We started out in DOS, continued with CAQ software solutions running on Microsoft Windows worldwide, and are currently utilizing state-of-the-art web-applications running on the latest platforms, such as “.Net”. We offer comprehensive practical experience combined with an innovative spirit and unbridled enthusiasm.
In today’s fast-paced and dynamic market, CAQ AG Factory Systems, with its vast repertory of experience, belongs to a group of the most renowned software companies. In a world marked by start-up companies, ostensible stock-exchange sensations, and overambitious striving for quick success, we are pleased to have made a name for ourselves as a reliable and strong partner with determination and a steady economic base. We were able to achieve these goals over a time-period spanning more than 25 years!
With a steadily and naturally growing customer and company base, we have made sure to create a company structure for CAQ AG Factory Systems which has helped shape technical and organizational progress in electronic quality and environmental management, effectively and future-oriented. We never considered the technologically feasible and currently spectacular, but short-term, methods exclusively. Instead, we always kept customer purpose and versatility as our main focus. Not function for function sake, but common sense, usability, and durability have guided our actions. The outcome of these business principles includes solutions which have built on former solutions for SPC and incoming goods inspection as well as high-performance and fully integrated software solutions for all areas of state-of-the-art quality and environmental management running on high-tech platforms!
In the past fiscal year, the family of CAQ companies (CAQ AG Factory Systems [D], CAQ Software Inc. [USA], as well as affiliated companies operating in the areas of training, business consulting and gauge technology), have attained the highest returns to date since the company was founded. This has made us one of the leading providers of CAQ systems worldwide. Our success in development and production of integrated software solutions, in spite of the general downward economic trend in the software sector, has enhanced our strong market position nationally and internationally. We are committed to invest these gains exclusively into ongoing development of our software solutions and therefore advance our leading position further.
Our continuously high sales and returns are surely based on several factors. As an unremitting online benchmarking of customer satisfaction proves, users are highly satisfied with the functionality, the extraordinary reliability of the software and performance, as well as our customer service. In times of economic hardship it has become especially apparent that standardized, industry-specific, and modular software solutions help our customers stay competitive. Introducing software solutions that satisfy even the highest demands, with minimal expense and on-location, is a result of the modular principle employed by CAQ AG Factory Systems software. Your investment pays off after only a short period of time, within these times of economic hardship effecting above all mid-sized companies.
Not only CAQ AG Factory Systems innovations but also solid, financially and technologically conservative planning is also responsible for our current and future success. CAQ AG Factory Systems has remained financially independent from outside interests in the past year, which, for the IT sector was a generally difficult economic year. On the contrary, we were able to further expand our capital unaided, a fact that has strengthened your trust in our team and endowed it with the highest confidence. We have not laid off any employees. On the contrary, we have hired more staff. We have not increased working hours, did not eliminate Christmas bonuses, abstained from threatening employees with cutting corners, and instead, raised salaries. We are not planning on outsourcing our programming jobs to India or other countries with low wages. We refuse to invest in countries with low or nonexistent job benefits.
You, our customers, have thanked us in the past year again with the highest sales and profits since the company’s founding and have therefore affirmed our business philosophy. CAQ AG Factory Systems is facing the future strong again, despite the general downward trend in the IT sector.
We are probably not the cheapest software company on the market. We have never had any ambitions to that end, but we want to be the best and thrill our customers with our products and services while offering software at a fair and decent price! We have retained our enjoyment for the work we do and are rewarded with an excellent collegial atmosphere at work and outstanding relationships with our customers and suppliers. A high degree of user-friendliness and innovation built on a solid foundation and combined with an exceptional team of employees in an environment where working is a pleasure: that, and nothing else, is our secret for success!
