Available as both a cloud-based and on-premise platform, the platform includes tools for a wide range of quality control activities, such as developing quality control plans, conducting first article inspections (FAI), managing incoming, in-process and final inspections, monitoring factory performance, controlling variation through statistical process control (SPC), handling inspection data and addressing non-conformances and corrective actions (CAPA). The first article inspection module streamlines workflows by automatically reading drawing features. Users can add balloons, specify tolerances, capture data zones and extract dimensional data from digital gages, coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), or upload files in formats such as .csv and .xlsx. Reports are generated in formats compliant with standards like AS9102, ensuring consistency and easy sharing. Inspection data is traceable to work orders, serial numbers, dates, inspectors and measurement gages. Real-time capabilities include process capability calculations and variation monitoring through histograms, run charts and SPC tools. Dashboards built into the tool display key metrics such as supplier performance and defective pareto analyses, providing actionable insights. The integrated non-conformance and CAPA modules facilitate problem-solving and drive continuous improvement. Key features include automatic drawing ballooning, quality control plans, first article inspections, AS9102 reporting, automated CMM data import, SPC, gage calibration management, non-conformance reporting (NCR), supplier corrective action requests (SCAR), audit findings tracking and supplier collaboration capabilities.

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%. 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. 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. ----- ### "Best QMS decision I ever made" — 5.0/5 > **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. ----- ### "Definitely would recommend 1factory." — 5.0/5 > **JAMES** | *7 August 2026* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > **Cons**: Only con for me is the cost, we are limited to the amount of users we can afford with our budget, I wish I could have my whole organization on 1factory. > > It's been a great tool to use and makes our quality control operations run much smoother. And any questions or issues we may have run into the support team has been prompt and ready to assist. ----- ### "1Factory Review" — 5.0/5 > **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. ----- ### "1Factory is 1Fantastic Quality Software\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **John** | *20 May 2026* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use Intuitive for users for the most part Easy to adapt to as an organization Speed of User Interface/ Responsiveness (No lag) The architecture of the software > > **Cons**: Nothing bad to say / No complaints Honestly there is nothing I that comes to mind in terms of something I don't like about it. > > We were using another software that was painfully slow Slow in inspection plan creation Slow in input of inspection data And terribly confusing to export inspection data using it reports Switching to 1Factory was a breath of fresh air for everyone in the organization\!\! ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/42840/1factory?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/42840/1factory) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
