QMS Software
HI
Can I ask what or indeed if people use specific software for management of their quality systems. I am currently looking at some as we want to introduce quality management software to support the operations of the company.
Does anybody have some positive experiences with them ?
thanks

Hi Philip, Sorry I think I didn't word my 1st post properly, we are all ready implementing 360 today in fact with Bob and George (Very excited) =)
I just wanted to see how other people use QMS software and how they find it helps manage their systems.
I also kept it generic as I didn't want to fall in to the trap of advertising and getting banned.
thanks for your reply

John,
You could try q-pulse or sentinel. I have worked with both in an inflight kitchen and the airline industry and quite useful

Hello John,
I have used Q-Pulse in the past and Q-Pulse is a great tool, but Safefood 360 is better geared for the food manufacturing industry. Our SQF auditor said the food industry is heading in the direction of the software based management system and about 5% of the of the US food companies are already using software food management programs. Personally, I also have found SF360 a fantastic software tool in managing our Quality and Food Safety Programs.

Hello John,
One of the best benefits, in my opinion, of a QMS system is having all data organized in one place. It is much easier to connect the dots when issues arise and trace back to the root causes when you can search for and chart all relevant data at the same time. My clients are using a software for managing lab data (micro and chem), calibrations, master sanitation schedules, line logs, internal audits, etc. Quite a few systems, including SF360, are flexible enough to configure all kinds of tests you need to collect data for and/or tasks you need to ensure were performed.
In short, people are replacing all paper logs and spreadsheets with a software. This way the data is readily available for analysis/reporting, organized, consistent and free of transcript and transfer errors.
