QSC QS1 is modular CAQ software for planning, carrying out, evaluating, and analyzing supplier, product, process, and internal system audits. It can suggest audits using master data, previous results, intervals, classifications, and risk assessments, with calendar functions and graphical overviews. Catalogs for standards such as ISO 9001, VDA 6.3, and ISO 13485 can be customized, or users can create their own. Configurable workflows cover remote, document, team, and self-assessment audits, with mobile, web portal, and offline use. Auditors can record findings with evidence and route them into corrective-action and CAPA processes with deadlines, status checks, and effectiveness reviews. External partners can complete PDF self-assessments online or offline for evaluation and workflow processing. Dashboards, audit history, KPI monitoring, and a quality analyzer support reporting. QSC describes QS1 as web-based, platform-independent, and database-independent, with role-based authorization, electronic records audit trails, and approval workflows. It is listed for Android, iOS, and web. Pricing is on request.
