## Reviews

### "QMS software change and upgrade" — 5.0/5

> **Wade** | *27 May 2026* | Defense & Space | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that 1Factory is an all-in-one system—it ties together inspection, calibration, assembly, and APQP in one place. It’s given me a much clearer view of issues so I can spot them, track them, and measure them across every stage of production. Plus, it’s really easy to use and way more intuitive than the system we had before
> 
> **Cons**: At the beginning the hardest part was to import existing data and/or documents.  However, since then 1Factory has worked with us to mitigate those difficulties and has improved this process.  Specifically, the methods for incorporating documents has improved by 100%.  &#10;&#10;Originally, we also had a loss of function in a few areas during our transition, but again 1Factory listened to our concerns, found wisdom in our requests and made software improvements.
> 
> Overall, we’ve had a really positive experience with 1Factory—it’s a huge upgrade from the QMS software we used before. I appreciate how easy they are to work with; the team is responsive, supportive, and genuinely great to have as a partner.&#10;The software offers a lot more capability than we’re used to. It has built-in features that help us monitor and improve our processes across the entire flow—from suppliers all the way through to customers.

> **Demetrius** | *17 June 2026* | Business Supplies & Equipment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The speed in which i was able to implement the software throughout our manufacturing facility was extremely fast and easy. The 1factory team is very responsive and I appreciate how they take into consideration any comments or needs that will better help my facility operate their system. The Cost for this service is very competitive and offers the best bang for your buck.
> 
> **Cons**: Since the system is always evolving and taking recommendations. There may be some features that are not available right now, but I know with time more features will be included.
> 
> I have been working with 1Facotry for aver 2 years, and the experience has been a complete delight. i came into my current company needed a support system to help with our Quality Management system. I came across 1facotry and was intrigued the the reasonable pricing, and once we started the onboarding process, I had clear and constant communication through the entire Implementation process. As my company continues to grow I feel relieved to have the expert support and backing of the 1Factory team.

> 
> **Pros**: It is very well thought out and covers all our needs, plus it's very user friendly. The usage of transferring data is intuitive.

> **Phebe** | *11 August 2026* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of use. It is very user friendly. Operators are able to use it with minimal training. Integration with existing programs is pretty seamless also.
> 
> **Cons**: that the modules aren’t relational. Also that the users are tied to emails instead of usernames. It’s difficult to get emails for all the operators in order to have an account.
> 
> Overall experience is very good\! It has really helped our NCR process and management. Also, the customer service is very helpful when there are issues or questions.
