It is easy to use

October 13th, 2016 • Roles: Purchaser & End User

The HQMS system is a well integrated QMS system. It is easy to use and, since all of the required modules are integrated, works seamlessly to meet the QMS requirements.

Pros: All of the input screens are of the same form and easy to use.

Cons: They are slow in updating to new requirements especially between the different ISO standards. AS9100, TS16949, ISO 13485, etc.

Great tool, great functionality, great customer service

September 1st, 2015 • Roles: Purchaser & End User

Pros: Excellent customer service, outstanding power of the tool and customization options fit any company.

Cons: It is a little cumbersome to get used to how it all works but once over the learning curve, the tool works smoothly and consistently module to module.

I have used this product at two different employers. One was a custom version and the other was the commercial version. Both versions worked outstandingly well. Any questions we had were quickly and completely addressed. The tool is very powerful and can meet all QMS needs and makes compliance and auditing a breeze, because it is all in the tool. The company cares about its clients and will follow through with check ups to make sure they are meeting the needs of their customers. Great tool, great functionality, great customer service.
