DMSi was founded in 1976 by a small group of tech enthusiasts. Their first customer hired them to develop a new type of software application: an inventory management system. For the next few years, DMSi built custom inventory systems for a range of businesses.
Then a lost opportunity put the young company’s future into question. Owners Cal German and Jim Hassenstab made a decision that changed everything: DMSi would focus exclusively on the building materials industry.
