A company intranet gives you somewhere to store your documents but it does not typically address the requirements of ISO9001 in terms of access and control of your documents. Access to your intranet documents from branch sites or out of the office can also be difficult or sometimes impossible.
The Quality Systems Toolbox doesn’t limit where you work or control documents from – you can access your documents and scheduled events from any computer connected to the Internet at any time, 24/7/365.
Paper-based QMS systems can be purchased - you might already own one! The trouble with paper-based systems is that they are inaccessible. By that we mean that paper systems usually sit inside a filing cabinet or on a shelf in an office doing very little most of the time because they are not accessible enough to your employees.
As such paper QMS system are also often lumped in the "too hard" or "too much work" baskets - i.e. after chasing down this register and that procedure employees can often decide to neglect require parts or all of your quality system.
What if you have more than one office ? Or if you are a multinational? A paper-based QMS simply falls apart in these situations while our web-based system brings all of your employees together and integrates your QMS across your offices and sites.
What about auditors ? Do you think they enjoying waiting while you track down this document and that chasing down the paper-trail. Our experience has been that auditors prefer to have your QMS at their fingertips - something which the QST achieves.
Absolutely!
If you operate from multiple sites you’ll want to make sure that everyone is working from the same page. With paper/Excel based systems this can be a huge drain on resources.
With QST your documentation will be consistent across all sites with just one source of control. Bureaucracy is minimised, communication is easier and creating reports is simple and consistent, right across the organisation. Your internal costs will be reduced, meaning a healthier bottom line.
You may have already implemented a Quality Management System using commercial desktop software such as Excel or Access or even a web platform such as .Net or Sharepoint.
If you have outgrown these solutions or they are no longer meeting your needs, it is easy to transfer your existing work over to Quality Systems Toolbox.
