Quality Port™, A Quality Management System for Everyone
Since 1993 QA International Ltd. has been receiving and reviewing the information from our Inspection and Testing reports. That is when our headache began. Organizing, sifting, collating, formulating etc…. it can seemingly go on forever. That is why the Founder of QA International Ltd. started on the original Quality Port™. In 1998 QAI created and implemented Quality Port™ as our main client interface. Scheduling and tracking inspection and testing requests. It stored reports, their data and allowed clients to create stat reports based on that information. However, like many intricate programs at the time, was not user friendly. Being one of the first with a Quality Management System we always knew that would be the trend to follow going forward.
Our Quality Management Systems Long Road through Development
2008 began the long development of several different Quality Management System prototypes. Each one surpassing the last. However, there was always one roadblock to achieving our final goals. Finding a quick and secure connection to our physical servers overseas. Switching focus, our team made the decision to work on the user friendliness of Quality Port™. The idea was to give complete control to the user. The data, as well as pictures, collected from our report format are easily uploaded. Uploaded reports are converted into PDF format and is shared with all parties necessary. What’s even better is Quality Port™ has the ability to take any data point from your reports and create a specific stat report to see what you consider the most important data first.
