Yes — several supplier quality management (SQM) / supplier quality management system (SQMS) platforms support both corrective actions (CAPA) and ISO audit preparation.

Common capabilities to look for

A platform that covers your needs will usually include:

  • Corrective Action / CAPA workflows
  • Supplier nonconformance management
  • 8D / NCR tracking
  • Audit management and audit checklists
  • Document control and record retention
  • Evidence collection for ISO 9001 / 13485 / 17025 / IATF 16949, etc.
  • Supplier scorecards and performance monitoring
  • Task assignment, approvals, and due-date tracking
  • Reporting / dashboards for audit readiness

Examples of platforms in this space

A few well-known options include:

  • ETQ Reliance – strong quality management, CAPA, audit management, and compliance workflows
  • MasterControl – widely used for regulated industries; good for CAPA, audits, and document control
  • Arena QMS – quality and supplier collaboration capabilities, including issue and corrective action tracking
  • Ideagen Quality Management – audit, CAPA, and compliance-focused features
  • Plex Quality Management – especially relevant for manufacturing and supplier quality processes
  • SAP Ariba Supplier Lifecycle and Performance – more supplier management oriented, but often paired with quality workflows
  • IQS – supplier quality, CAPA, and audit modules
  • ComplianceQuest – QMS with supplier quality, CAPA, and audit readiness functions

If ISO audit prep is a priority

Look specifically for:

  • prebuilt ISO templates
  • audit trails
  • version-controlled procedures
  • training record management
  • evidence linking to findings/CAPAs
  • risk management and management review support
