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

- 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
