ComplianceQuest take customer relations seriously. I have really enjoyed the professionalism of working with ComplianceQuest. They are very patient and make sure that everything is to our satisfaction. To date we have only implemented Incoming Inspection, but I look forward continue to work with ComplianceQuest to implement non-conformance, deviations, SCARS, Audit, and supplier portal. For years our incoming inspections was a manual process with the use of handwritten notes in folders. Today we no longer use folders and capture all the data in Salesforce using ComplianceQuest. We are able to link to the drawing, we have incorporated skip lot and supplier health plans into our incoming inspections, and it's all completely transparent to the inspectors. The Inspectors look at the queue and see what needs to be inspected and ComplianceQuest manages the rest. The inspection process is more streamlined and only parts that need to be inspected are inspected, allowing the parts to flow much quicker through the system. We also use ComplianceQuest at our other locations in the US and this allows us to better control the quality of the parts and our suppliers.

The Inspection module in ComplianceQuest is intuitive and easy to use. The interface is customizable so you can easily set up the look and feel for your users. We were able to set up the Inspection tabs that followed or workflow, and this made it very user friendly. We had a need to develop some custom code for our process and we worked very closely with ComplianceQuest. They listened to our needs and were helpful when asked for recommendations. They were always accessible to answer any questions we had, regardless of the issue, big or small.

Like any software the initial setup is a chore. You have to follow the steps carefully and make sure you have all the correct permission sets, but ComplianceQuest was there every step of the way to assist.

Out of all the systems we looked into, only ComplianceQuest was able to meet all the requirements put in place. We worked with the CQ teams to configure and test the system to fit our business needs. Through this process, they offered a lot of guidance on system options to meet needs with reduced configuration. Overall, good controls in place, layout is modern, reporting and data analytics is great and easy for users to manage. Love the dashboard capabilities, configurability and integration capability. System provides users with easy to follow layout and next steps.

CQ has a really complex backend. We had to make a shift moving into this system from being Quality managed to IT managed. Understood that this allows us a lot of the flexibility we need and it is working out fine. Majority of the issues we run into are permissions-related – which has been somewhat challenging to sort out, but we are getting there.

We are solving our current document management system needs by having CQ implemented. However, because of lack of support and cost are looking for different document management options.

We utilize ComplianceQuest for the Document Management component of our ISO Certifications. The system has all of the controls (and then some) necessary within a document management system. We liked the fact that beyond document management, CQ has the ability to send out and record trainings linked at a document level, which other SW platforms do not have.

Whenever we encounter a critical bug, it takes a year or longer to resolve with CQ. The support and escalation are just not there when it is needed most. There is a substantial fee associated with the cost of this platform which is yearly.

The CQ team has been great to work with. Over all they are responsive and follow up with questions readily. I have seen that tech support and development teams were slow at first, but are coming up to speed now as the company scales. Overall a great quality system that we are happy we chose.

The CQ quality system is a full suite of products used for tracking all quality objects. I 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.

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.

I have had a great experience with ComplianceQuest from beginning discussions to solution implementation and Go Live!

I liked everything about CQ. The end-to-end approach is a great benefit to startups who are looking to be immediately aligned with QMS industry and regulatory expectations.

I liked least that we didn't start with ComplianceQuest from our humble beginnings.
