We used to ask these questions too... so we created a platform to help answer some of the most challenging questions in business and solve problems.
To create the best platform possible, we started with an anonymous survey, we asked 50,000 quality managers and business owners how they use their quality management and what their biggest quality pain-points are.
The answers were surprising.

Survey Question:
What are your challenges during customer audits?
The data point on the right is telling.
Your customer's Supplier Quality Auditor has a powerful voice in selecting you as their top supplier. They may even be the final decision maker.
What message are you sending with stacks of records, word documents and spread sheets? Innovative and in control? Or antiquated and reactive?
In this competitive environment, 'the way it's always been done' is no longer good enough.
The Supplier Quality professional who audits you, also audits your competition. It's not adequate to just meet the requirements, you have to stand apart. You're being graded against other businesses.
Survey Question:
Would you keep your QMS if your top customers did not require you to have one?
Organizations must adapt to remain relevant, competitive, and profitable. In regulated industries such as Oil & Gas, Automotive, Aerospace or Medical Device Manufacturing & Pharmaceutics, demonstrate your commitment to quality with simple and robust cloud-based quality management.
QMSC QMS help you accomplish this and more with single click status of every aspect of your quality system.
