What do you like best about ComplianceQuest QMS?
The CQ quality system is a full suite of products used for tracking all quality objects. We use Training, Complaints, NCs, CAPAs and Equipment module. With CQ being built on Salesforce, from the beginning we had much better visibility to our data for users and managers alike, creating dozens of dashboards utilizing SF power, from every module, literally at the click of some buttons and drag and drop functionality. This is light years ahead of our last eQMS, and one of the major selling points for us to move to CQ.
Our users are able to easily train in CQ and managers can see their employee's metrics for training easily.
The equipment module is simple and clean to use and we have taken advantage of the calibration and equipment event schedules to track those tasks.
Our NC users have a CAPA request type to easily recommend what needs to become a CAPA, and when escalated a workflow creates that CAPA record for us, bringing over data already entered on the NC.
We also did the same with SF Cases, bringing over relevant data to Complaints at the click of a button. This has reduced creation of these types of records so users have more time to investigate the issue, then they have to spend documenting it. CAPA/SCAR records are easy to create, investigate and recommend plans and actions, and follow up with VOE at the appropriate time.
The system would have been easier to implement if we had stayed closer to out of the box software. But the fact you can make the system your own, is a huge selling point. Being on the Salesforce platform allows you to take advantage of the innate database structure and application features, allowing you to always scale and improve your quality system and integrate to other systems to provide the data needed and reduce redundancy for all departments.
The CQ team has been great to work with. Over all they are responsive and follow up with questions readily. Overall a great quality system that we are happy we chose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about ComplianceQuest QMS?
As with all systems, CQ has some things to improve, as far as giving the users direction on the next action to take, making the workflow easier to track and understand from a coordinators view. Version 13 that just came out, will address some of those issues our users and coordinators still find a little frustrating.
Both customer support and the development team were slow a year ago, but I have seen them come up to speed and respond quickly to requests as the company grows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
