The collaboration brings together IPM’s business process and manufacturing improvement expertise and QAD’s cloud-based manufacturing and supply chain solutions to enable adaptive enterprises.
[BURR RIDGE, IL] – Integrated Project Management Company, Inc. (IPM), a national business consulting firm focused on solving complex business problems and implementing proven solutions, has announced a partnership with QAD Inc. Together, the companies will help manufacturing and supply chain leaders improve efficiency, customer service, and profitability.
Already challenged to maximize production efficiency, reduce lead times, and optimize resources, the market is under increased pressure from tariffs, inflation, and other uncertainty. Companies are looking to incorporate technology for transformation and to address these challenges.
IPM leverages its over 35 years of manufacturing, supply chain, and project management foundation to analyze operations against business goals and identify improvements. Then, as a preferred partner for QAD Supply Chain, Advanced Scheduling, and other software, IPM customizes a solution to drive maximum value across processes, people, and technology, working with clients on site from assessment through rollout and beyond. IPM’s strong project management foundation enables structured, efficient, and effective execution.
“Our ability to identify process improvements and drive efficiency for manufacturing clients is significantly strengthened when we can also offer leading-edge technology to help sustain those gains,” says IPM Founder, President, and CEO C. Richard Panico. “We’re pleased to partner with an organization that shares our values and commitment to helping companies execute complex projects aligned with their strategic goals.”
IPM and QAD will build on their partnership by co-sponsoring the Food Manufacturing World Summit, October 6–8, 2025, in Fort Worth, Texas. The companies also will co-present informational webinars for manufacturing and supply chain professionals.
