We are thrilled to announce the release of QAD EQMS 2023! This release is packed with new features and improvements that will help our customers streamline their quality management processes and drive better business outcomes.
“With this release, we are delivering a range of powerful new features and improvements designed to help organizations streamline their quality processes and enhance collaboration across their supply chain,” said Charles Sutherland, chief product officer at QAD. “We’re excited to bring these improvements to our customers and look forward to supporting them as they continue to achieve their quality management goals.”
Enhancement Highlights
The QAD EQMS 2023 version introduces several exciting new general features, including document collaboration with Google Drive, which makes it easier for teams to come together to work on important shared quality-related documents. The new Record Navigator makes it simpler to navigate and view records, while the embedded SaaS report writer allows users to quickly create and share reports.
Audits and Non-conformances
For audits and non-conformances, QAD EQMS 2023 delivers the ability to specify domain and site(s) for libraries, making it easier to manage and organize audit information for large enterprises. The change of scheduling the next audit when the current audit moves to “Audit Complete” makes it simple to plan and manage high frequency audit schedules, while the more obvious audit scheduling options help ensure that audit frequencies are set when the audit is added.
Supplier Management
On the supplier side, QAD EQMS 2023 features improved notification to suppliers on document or drawing changes and the ability for suppliers to paperclip files to SCARs (Supplier Corrective Action Requests). The new feature that pushes supplier quality KPI data to Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) for supplier scorecards is also a major improvement, helping suppliers to track and manage their performance.
With its powerful new features and enhancements, QAD EQMS 2023 is the ideal solution for organizations looking to improve their quality management processes, improve ROI and drive collaboration across their supply chain. We are confident that this release will help our customers achieve their quality management goals and drive operational excellence.
