It makes managing all the various processes a whole lot easier. The modularity and ability to customize most everything is great! The responsiveness of their Customer Service team is awesome. I would highly recommend this software to anyone looking to find an easier all in one solution for managing a Quality System. Cons There are a couple of minor issues that are irritating occasionally, but not really worth mentioning.

I use it most of my day. I also teach QCBD in the new hire orientation classes. I have worked on many different types of systems and QCBD is by far the best I have worked on. Pros I like the fact that it's a user-friendly system. The information is there at your fingertips. Cons There is nothing at least I like about this software. Reasons for choosing QCBD I was not a part of this process. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

COO Medical Devices ### "QCBD to support QMS for medical software devices" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 May 12, 2021 We have had a very good experience with QCBD. The learning curve is steep if one has never used a system like this or they are new to QMS, but that may not be unique to QCBD. Customer support is excellent. Pros It is easy to use and has all the features we need. Cons The update cycles. We would like an automatic notification instead of manually checking. Reasons for choosing QCBD at the time we were looking for software to support our QMS, we found QCBD to have all the features and qualifications we needed at a reasonable price.

DN Djordje N. Quality Manager Mechanical or Industrial Engineering ### "Algas-SDI International LLC" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 9, 2021 QCBD has been an instrumental tool in my ability to succeed in the role of a Quality Manager at our company. Pros QCBD software integrated all of the modules that our business needed under one package making it easy to find data and link everything. The ability to run reports and trends is extremely helpful. Using QCBD has helped us lower our overall COQ by improving our processes, keeping our suppliers accountable, conform to regulatory requirements as well as keep track and address customer complaints promptly. Cons It would be useful if individual modules could be configurable with respect to where each field is and also if preview of such configurations is available. Different business have different needs and layout requirements. Reasons for choosing QCBD QCBD appeared at the time to offer the best value for the money and had all the features we needed integrated in one package.

JS Justin S. President Aviation & Aerospace ### "One word comes to mind when describing this software, phenomenal! " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 February 2, 2021 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! 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.

JN John N. Quality and Regulatory Packaging and Containers ### "Great product and customer service" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 December 29, 2020 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. 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. Reasons for choosing QCBD I have recommended the purchase and installation of QCBD at two different companies (Drug and Device manufacturer and a flexible packaging manufacturer). The first evaluation was in 2008 and all other solutions were much more expensive with few additional benefits. The cost of QCBD was a major factor and after completing demos of several software options, QCBD was clearly the best option for not only cost, but also performance. The recommendation to purchase QCBD at a different employer was easy after over 10 years of successful use with my previous employer.

MC Matt C. Quality Manager Machinery ### "Good value for what I need." 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 December 3, 2020 I am very pleased with QCBD, It has all the features you need and it is very user-friendly. Pros I mostly use the nonconformities section of this software and am pleased with all of the features it has for recording data. It is very easy to create an NCR and close it out when completed. It spits out pretty good charts and graphs for data review. Cons There isn't much of anything that I don't like about the QCBD software. It is vastly superior to the quality features on our MRP system software.

The setup and the especially the customer service we have received as a business has been world class. We are really seeing the benefits now of using the system in the business and the customer services team especially \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] have helped us overcome the challenges presented by COVID and also our growth by provided excellent communications and also timely responses to ensure we can continue to use this fantastic application without any downtime. We recently passed an AS9100 audit here and QCBD played a big role in that. Pros I have been very impressed with the user interface and the training provided. It is very easy to grasp and is an excellent system for tracking quality. The system is also very good to manage as an IT manager the build is really good and the data is very robust. Cons I have no improvements for suggestion. We are very happy. Reasons for choosing QCBD Simplicity and also its organisation. Easy to use and understand.
