Retail is evolving. Constantly.But the root of what makes a successful retailer or brand has been, and always will be, the customer experience.
iQmetrix developed out of a gap in the industry realized by Christopher Krywulak, who began as an independent retailer in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. Frustrated with current Retail Management and POS software, Christopher knew there had to be a better way. Using his experience as a retailer and an entrepreneur, he oversaw the development of a new Retail Management System (RMS), and thus iQmetrix was born.
iQmetrix’s success is the result of a focus on bringing the right group of people together. The company is built on, and continues to grow with, a team of some of the retail industry’s most passionate and innovative thought-leaders. As a company, iQmetrix values forward thinking while remaining authentic and giving back to the community around us.
Since our start in 1999, iQmetrix has grown to become one of the leading providers of retail management solutions for the North American retail industry. Our passion for retail and creating great experiences for retailers, their employees and the end consumers has helped us take that expertise and expand it into the greater retail market.
Our products have also expanded beyond a full-suite RMS to a centralized Platform philosophy that includes modular RMS and solutions to enhance the in-store experience for customers and staff. Using this Platform philosophy, we invite third-party APIs to create new partnerships and new business opportunities for our company and our clients. All of these pieces comes together in a powerhouse of metrics, which the retailer can use to drive future growth and operational efficiencies.
The world of retail is an exciting place full of unique challenges.
Our solutions bridge the gap between physical and virtual retail and give retailers the tools necessary to deliver a seamless experience expected by today’s consumers. At iQmetrix, we strive to work with brands, retailers and partners who share our vision for creating great experiences, delighting customers, and looking ahead to the next evolution of retail.

Office politics. I dont perceive this as negative though, it's a reason to prove your worth. Just put in the good work continuously with a good attitude and your work will justify you.
Advice to Management
Keep doing the commendations from the CEO and team leads, its quite motivating.

Application
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at iQmetrix (Regina, SK).
Interview
5 minute phone interview and then 2 in person interviews. The phone interview was very short about 5 minutes tops. The in person interview was about half and hour, very casual interview. One of the interviewers spent the whole time on his cell phone. The first this i was asked was if i knew anyone that worked there, when i said not that i know of they said oh we usually only interview people who know someone here. The interview questions didn't have a whole lot to do with the role itself, they would be better off if they had actual HR people doing the interviews.
