QT9 QMS
QT9 QMS works great for life sciences like medical devices/pharmaceuticals. The included 23 modules can be a bit overwhelming, but the robust tools offered by the QMS help businesses meet FDA and ISO compliance, along with industry-specific standards like AS9100, IATF 16949, and SQF Food Safety. There’s also unlimited training to help users master each module.
While the user interface is a little dated, the incredibly fast implementation makes up for it by getting you ready to go faster than other QMS products. And the ability to generate reports helps when it’s time to show compliance to internal or external parties.

Electronic Signature Approvals
One main feature included in QT9 QMS is the ability to electronically sign approvals in compliance with various regulatory standards, including FDA compliance 21 CFR Part 11. This creates a secure and traceable record of approvals which can be used for audits or internal review.
Electronic signatures are closely tied to the document control module, allowing users to completely control who can read, view, or edit documents.
Built-In Modules
One key difference helping QT9 stand out from other QMS platforms is the 23 included modules. To start, having so many modules pre-built means no extra cost for customization or additional implementation. Even if you don’t use all the modules at the start, you can start using them at any time and get free training. This is great for businesses which are starting to scale up and will eventually need more functionality from a QMS.
Finally, QT9 lets you connect multiple sites across different states or even countries. Enterprise-level corporations, which might have dozens of domains, can keep everything together on a shared QT9 platform.
ERP Integration
This QMS can connect with QT9 ERP to provide complete coverage of other back-end business processes. By using QT9 for both, all your relevant data is kept in one centralized location.
What Features Are Missing?
QT9 QMS was missing:
- Modern UI: QT9 could be better with a more modern UI. Fortunately, navigation is still highly intuitive and the To-Do List makes every task easily accessible. And a new UI is in the works to match the QT9 ERP style.
Pricing Plans
| Plan | Pricing | Features |
| Base Package | $2,200 per concurrent user per year | The main QMS package includes 23 modules which cover:
|
Initial training and implementation costs are separate, and the total price will depend on how many user licenses are required. However, this one-time fee unlocks unlimited training, from training new users to offering refreshers to existing users.
While the concurrent user license limits how many people can use the software at a time, there are exceptions for employee training and suppliers. As such, you can still train multiple users without having to purchase additional licenses.
How many modules does QT9 QMS offer?
QT9 ERP has 23+ modules available, including:
- Audit Management
- Corrective Actions (CAPA)
- Risk Management
- Document Control
- Deviation Management
- Supplier Evaluations
New modules are also in development based on changing compliance standards and customer requests.
Does QT9 QMS work as an ERP?
QT9 has a separate ERP software called QT9 ERP. This helps businesses with other workplace processes.
