A quality management software software must be easy to customize for business managers.

With Avanteam Quality Manager and its Process Studio design workshop, you can make your software evolve in line with organizational or strategic changes in your company, without having to be a computer scientist or do any coding. 

Process Studio lets you customize your application at every level : forms, workflows, file plans, search views, portals, graphical reports and tables.

Business processes bring together a large number of players, and are governed by management rules specific to each company.

If the QMS software has a plethora of features, but they don't match your business rules or specificities, your teams may be disappointed with the end result. 

By easily adapting its workflows to the specific business rules of each organizationAvanteam enables dynamic, contextual management of QHSE (Quality, Health, Safety, Environment) management processes.

The majority of companies today have data repositories (products, customers, suppliers, etc.) which are located in third-party software: ERP, CRM, PLM, etc.

To avoid unnecessary re-entries and to be able to carry out automatic checks or reconciliations in real time, a QMS tool must be able to integrate easily with your existing systems.

Avanteam offers a range of standard connectors for interfacing its quality software with existing management systems such as SAP, PeopleSoft, Oracle, Sage, Cegid, Microsoft Dynamics, etc. A dynamic exchange interface with office suites is also supplied as standard to optimize the dynamic and collaborative management of documents interacting with your processes: document creation from Word templates, automatic response mail to a customer complaint, etc.

The organization is constantly evolving, as are its processes. It is therefore necessary to favour tools that allow for a rapid and bottom-up approach as well as a general (top-down) approach that can potentially impact the entire company.

Thanks to its its reusable components and its repository of business applicationsAvanteam's offer allows to capitalize on what has been done to target an extension with a fast and guaranteed return on investment.

The company's activities and the processes that support them are increasingly complex. The organization must be able to communicate them easily to as many people as possible to create buy-in and involvement in their execution. 

The graphical modeling of your processes in Process Studio, and the visual reminder of the execution of each workflow, help your staff to better understand the customer's requirements and the way in which each person must organize themselves to meet them.. The ability to link several processes together as sub-processes of a larger process (e.g. several corrective or preventive actions in response to an incident or complaint) also simplifies their modeling and computerization.

Any approach to quality and continuous improvement is based on indicators (KPIs). It is therefore necessary to provide precise information on the status of a process as it is being carried out: complaints in progress, actions overdue, etc., but also to keep a history of the progress of this process for audit and control purposes.

QHSE - Quality Manager offers you indicators and dashboards, providing management with information on objectives, trends, sources of non-conformity and areas for improvement. And with Graph Builder, you can create your own graphical reports..
