Manufacturing
ISO-certified manufacturers, CSRD-scoped operations, and quality directors at tier-1 and tier-2 suppliers know the drill before an audit. Supplier CofAs sit in one folder, PPAP packets in another, non-conformance reports in a third, and the quality team rebuilds the trail by hand the week the auditor books a date. We thread supplier records, certificates of analysis, and NCRs into the QMS automatically, with the full audit pack pullable on demand from the system that already holds the masters.
Where the quality trail sharpens up
These are the patterns we see in discovery across ISO-certified manufacturers. If two of the four are recognisable, the pipeline pays for itself inside a quarter.
Supplier CofAs arrive by email attachment, supplier-portal download, and the occasional fax. Each one carries a lot number, a set of test results, and a PO reference that rarely line up across suppliers. Quality leaders want CofAs tied to the lot master and the receiving PO on arrival, with out-of-spec values flagged against the incoming inspection record before material is released.
We build: CofA intake classified by supplier, extracted to test results, and matched to lot number and PO on arrival.
A PPAP packet is a stack: part submission warrant, control plan, PFMEA, dimensional results, material certs, capability studies. Supplier-quality engineers want each element checked for presence, the right revision level, and an approved signature, with any missing or mis-revisioned document held before the packet goes to the customer.
We build: PPAP element checks against the customer requirement list, with missing documents and wrong revisions held for SQE review.
Non-conformance reports come in from the receiving dock, the production line, and the customer complaint queue. Quality managers want each NCR routed to the responsible line on arrival, with the root-cause field, the 8D section, and the disposition captured as structured data so the CAPA owner can act inside the shift, not the week.
We build: NCR routing to the responsible line with structured root-cause and 8D capture posted into the QMS.
When the ISO 9001 or IATF 16949 auditor books a date, the quality team spends the week before assembling supplier records, CofAs, NCRs, CAPA closures, and training evidence into one packet. Operations directors want that packet built on demand from the QMS record, scoped to the audit clause list, and exportable to PDF with every source document attached.
We build: on-demand audit pack assembly from the QMS, scoped to the clause list, with source documents attached to each evidence item.
Supplier-quality inbox, supplier-portal downloads, receiving-dock scanner, line tablet submissions. All route into one queue per lot or PPAP part number.
Each document tagged to supplier, part number, and document type before extraction runs.
Structured parse for supplier templates, OCR-first for scanned certs, with test result, spec limit, revision level, and signature captured on every record.
Test results checked against spec limits, PPAP elements checked against the customer requirement list, NCR fields checked for 8D completeness.
Clean records posted into the QMS with source documents attached. Out-of-spec values and missing PPAP elements named by supplier, part, and reason code.
The incoming CofA carries a lot number and a set of test results, the QMS lot master carries the spec limits for that part and revision, and the receiving PO line carries the quantity and the release flag. The pipeline reads all three, ties the CofA to the lot master, and holds the receipt when a test result falls outside spec. Incoming inspection sees one flagged value, logged against the lot.
