A powerful and agile intuitive EQMS
Integration
Drive synergy throughout your organization by leveraging corporate data that exists outside the QMS. Integrate with other enterprise applications, to share data, streamline data entry, reduce errors, automate cross-functional workflows, and have a single source of truth for your quality information.
ETQ Reliance EQMS includes built in integration capabilities so you ensure that data can be exchanged with other systems quickly and securely, saving costs of manual effort and reducing risk of human error in forcing users to work across multiple siloed systems.
Lets companies organize data by creating drag and drop analytics reports, create scheduled reports that drill down on data, filter data by relevant factors, and search data sets easily and efficiently.
ETQ Reliance Audit Trail is built with accountability and traceability in mind. However, ETQ has gone further than simple audit trail logging and includes enhanced features that make it easier and more efficient for organizations to ensure compliance.
knowing that you have access to real-time, quality data. When you can’t connect to Reliance, you can still work offline, syncing up with the system when you are back online.
The combination of Designer (power in codeless application configuration), ETQScript (for when you need more involved configurations and Developer (for building new applications).
Allowing for configuration of each location in a centralized application. Configure by location or group, standardize applications and views based on user access level. Set security access levels.
Automates the process of delegating, escalating and tracking assignments so that time-sensitive issues and tasks are completed if the primary task owner is unavailable or assigns the task to a teammate.
What is an EQMS?
EQMS stands for Enterprise Quality Management System. It’s a quality management systems (QMS) whose functionality transposed from pen and paper to a purely electronic medium hosted privately in a data center or the public cloud to serve enterprise quality management needs.
How do you use an EQMS?
You can use an EQMS to assemble audit documents, alert on changes in productivity or acceptances, vet new suppliers, and more automatically. Although you can do this with a more traditional QMS, you can’t automate critical processes, incorporate advanced analytics, or respond to quality incidents in real-time.
How do you validate an EQMS?
Validation is the process of confirming your EQMS meets FDA and ISO regulatory requirements, where applicable. To validate, you’ll need to understand that your servers are correctly configured, your QMS works as designed, and the product has been tested and found to perform as expected. Your vendor should be able to walk you through much of the work necessary to qualify your EQMS under various guidelines.
Who needs quality management software?
Every company with a business model that involves manufacturing or industrial processes can use quality management software. That’s because QMS is optimized towards functions such as instrumenting capital equipment, inspecting lots of finished goods, or responding to regulatory audits—functionality that forms the backbone of industrial and manufacturing organizations.
What are the types of quality management?
Quality management covers a variety of areas including document control, corrective actions, training management, risk management, nonconformance management, supplier quality, audit management and change management. An EQMS can usually handle all kinds of quality management within a single application suite. In addition, vendors can work with customers to provide custom functionality that may not exist within an out-of-the-box QMS product.
What are the benefits of using a quality management system?
Quality management systems enable higher product and service quality. This leads to fewer recalls, scrap and rework, as well as reduced warranty claims. An EQMS that can interface with ERP, CRM, and manufacturing (MES) applications cam also use the data those systems generate help users draw see “hidden” trends and patterns to make better decisions faster.
Which is better—a cloud EQMS or on-premises EQMS software?
Cloud EQMS has several advantages over its hosted and on-premise counterparts. With cloud EQMS, companies can store a nearly infinite amount of quality data with no performance slowdown. Cloud EQMS implementations also enjoy higher uptime and better security. Last, cloud EQMS implementations receive constant updates and support, meaning they never become obsolete.
Can I integrate this QMS software?
Depending on your QMS vendor, you can integrate with nearly any kind of application. Common choices include ERP, CRM, PLM and MES. Depending on your application stack, your QMS may natively integrate with your existing software. If not, you may have to develop an integration or ask your QMS vendor for assistance.
How much does EQMS cost?
EQMS costs depend on the number of applications implemented and the number of users who will access your EQMS platform. The advantage of deploying an EQMS in the cloud is that it will receive constant updates, be dynamically scalable and highly secure, meaning your QMS remains future proof for as long as you maintain a relationship with the vendor.
Is this quality management system right for my industry?
Many QMS systems are specialized on a per-industry basis. Some QMS systems are built specifically for life sciences, automotive manufacturers, food and beverage producers, and more. ETQ Reliance takes a broader approach. We’ve created a QMS system every industry can use, with specialized modules for specialized industries such as life sciences. That allows companies to cross-pollinate best practices from one industry to another, promoting a higher quality overall.
What does an EQMS do?
EQMS software provides document control, audit management, nonconformance handling, training management, risk assessment, and more. EQMS enhances these capabilities by providing features such as automation, advanced analytics, and machine learning. That allows users to respond to quality events in real-time while making better decisions supported by rich data.
