QIMAOne is a cloud-based quality and compliance management software developed by QIMA, a global leader in testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) services. Launched in 2020, QIMAOne is designed to digitize and streamline quality control processes across global supply chains. It connects brands, retailers, manufacturers, and suppliers on a unified platform to manage inspections, audits, corrective actions, and performance analytics in real time.
Headquartered in Hong Kong, QIMAOne operates globally, with a presence in over 100 countries and support from more than 4,000 experts and inspectors.
QIMA was founded in 2005 by Sebastien Breteau, initially under the name AsiaInspection. The company disrupted the traditional quality control industry by offering online booking and reporting services. Over the years, QIMA expanded its services to include lab testing, supplier audits, and certification programs. In 2020, QIMA launched QIMAOne to provide a digital solution that complements its physical inspection services.
QIMA has grown to over 6,000 employees, with offices and labs in 70+ locations worldwide. Its client base includes more than 30,000 businesses, ranging from small importers to multinational brands.
QIMAOne itself is unfunded as a standalone entity, but its parent company QIMA has received significant investment. In 2021, Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ) acquired a significant minority stake in QIMA to support its strategic growth and global expansion. While exact valuation figures are not publicly disclosed, QIMA is considered a high-growth private company with a strong digital and operational footprint.
QIMAOne offers a robust suite of features tailored for quality and compliance management:
These features are designed to reduce defects, improve supplier performance, and ensure regulatory compliance across industries such as apparel, electronics, food, and consumer goods.
QIMA has expanded its capabilities through both internal development and strategic acquisitions. While QIMAOne itself has not acquired other companies, its parent QIMA has integrated various TIC services and labs into its ecosystem. This includes expansion into food safety, life sciences, and cybersecurity testing, which indirectly enhances QIMAOne’s value proposition.
QIMAOne continues to evolve with new modules and integrations, including AI-powered analytics and mobile-first inspection tools.
