The solution comes with a supplier management module, which allows enterprises to manage requirements of international quality specifications, ensuring the evaluation of suppliers in compliance with regulatory norms. QCBD provides an equipment management module, which lets businesses monitor the inventory of spare parts, track labor, create instructions, attach media files and more. Additionally, it comes with a nonconformance tracking tool for users to link nonconformances to corrective actions, customer complaints, vendor activities from within an integrated dashboard. QCBD’s document control module provides a master list of controlled information for enterprises to manage, authorize and record all document changes. Pricing is available on request and support is extended via phone, email and an online inquiry form. > > Verdict: Rated **4.6/5** by 56 users.

It allows us to be mostly paperless. We also like that it is locally installed on our servers and not cloud-based...less prone to data loss. > > **Cons**: The initial setup was a time-consuming and little bit onerous but once it is setup, the maintenance is minimal...it just runs. > > We just passed our 12 month ISO9001 surveillance audit with zero non-compliances. Our entire QMS audit was conducted in a conference with pretty much nothing by QCBD up on the screen going through various processes and procedures. QCBD is truly the best investment we’ve made as part of our ISO prep. ----- ### "One word comes to mind when describing this software, phenomenal\!" — 5.0/5 > **Justin** | *2 February 2021* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We are an ISO/AS certified company and started by incorporating all QMS documents; our goal was to track revisions and changes to the documents and eliminate the gaps with network folders and passwords previously used to control Word docs. This was a vast improvement for our company; the most challenging part of implementing was convincing the staff this was a necessary step in continuous improvement. We then worked on implementing CAR’s and PAR’s. The CAR process follows the 8D methodology and is another game-changer in promoting consistency within the company. The process and requirements are clearly defined, and each of the field names can be easily modified to fit the terminology used in your company. Tasks can be added, approvers assigned, and so much more. The next step was phasing out the Excel sheet we used as a training matrix and implementing the training module. This module is a must-have\! QMS documents can be tied to a training record with one-time training requirements, training by date, or training on change. The training matrix is set up by department, position, or job function; this eliminates remembering who and what has to be trained for each position. When a new employee starts, it is as simple as classifying a few predetermined parameters, and the software issues the training matrix consistently every time. Other modules we are using include Process Deviation, Supplier Management, with is Customer Complaints to be the next implementation. > > **Cons**: There is no software out there that will do everything you want; however, with QCBD, if you can imagine it, there is probably a way to get a similar result. In other words, the ability to make customizations to the modules, layouts, access levels, etc., are powerful tools. > > If you are searching for software to make audits successful, store information in one location, make info easily searchable, email automated reports, and earn positive comments from the auditors you encounter, then this software is a must-have. All of the above back with top-notch customer support is why our company recommends QCBD\! ----- ### "Effective Quality Database software at reasonable cost" — 3.0/5 > **Bob** | *12 May 2017* | Chemicals | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Excellent customer support \& fast responses Easy to set up and use Robust - Doesn't crash, drag, or freeze-up on network Low cost > > **Cons**: In ability to add user defined fields within tabbed records - limited to one tab Cannot create separate asset lists Limited Maintenance module features > > Organizes all my ISO requirements in one location ----- ### "Great product and customer service" — 5.0/5 > **John** | *29 December 2020* | Packaging & Containers | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software is well developed to meet the needs of various compliance requirements and the communication between the modules allows us to identify trends across various quality programs. A few pros listed below. 1. Custom configuration 2. Customer support 3. Ease of use 4. Training materials available 5. Compliance features (E-signatures, validation options) 6. Low cost 7. Custom reporting options 8. User friendly for all levels of the organization > > **Cons**: There are a few little things that anyone could find with any software program that does not exactly fit their need and that is the case for QCBD too, but the cons are minor and are far outnumbered by the pros. > > QCBD has significantly upgraded the paper based system that was in use and helped remove silos to better understand and manage our QMS. We have taken control of the quality system and have established the QMS as a value added business group. The benefits of a custom configuration have allowed us to personalize the system. The implementation and configuration of the software included a deep dive into our quality system to ensure the software and the system worked together. It was a valuable exercise to review processes and procedures to ensure they were optimized. ----- ### "Amazing QMS software. Unbelievable price. Unparalleled technical support. A real find\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **Marifrances** | *18 September 2018* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: All the QMS document control and record requirements are addressed with a single application, QCBD. Everything is in one place. Records can be linked together which makes the whole story easy to remember and explain to an auditor. Certification auditors and auditors who come on behalf of our customers are always impressed with our documentation and record control. Our certification auditor told us she has suggested QCBD to clients who are still struggling with manual document control and QMS records systems because they think they cannot afford a software-based system. Technical support is responsive, helpful, and gracious. Suggestions for improvement are considered. The technical support is the best I have ever worked with. Ever\! > > **Cons**: Customization options are less flexible than I would like; some modules are more flexible than others. I would like to see better supporting documentation. The hotfix software upgrade notes are not always clearly written. The user manuals are not as complete as I would like, however, the on-line videos are helpful and easily accessible. > > We have used QCBD since 2012 when we started to seriously work toward certification to ISO 13485. QCBD facilitated our certification readiness because the QMS forms/records function (customer complaints, change orders, process deviations, corrective actions, etc) ensures that the completeness of documentation is consistent; data fields can be set to "required". Document revision control is further ensured because QCBD automatically prints a release status and print date timestamp along the top edge of each page, by default. User access is managed with a flexible system of use privileges/right as set by a QCBD Administrator. The electronic signature feature is compliant with 21 CFR Part 11. Lots of features. I 100% recommend QCBD to anyone who asks. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/60791/qcbd?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/60791/qcbd) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
