1factory vs AssurX Document Management

1factory is a platform for manufacturing, supply-chain, and quality operations, covering product quality, supplier quality, and compliance. Quality Control includes PDF auto-ballooning, inspection plans, first article inspections, PPAP, in-process inspections, SPC, and gage calibration. Incoming inspection supports AQL sampling, lot acceptance or rejection, lot switching, and certificates of conformance. Supplier tools provide approved-vendor lists, qualification and certification, dashboards, scorecards, supplier FAI and PPAP, and corrective actions. The QMS includes document control, approval and access workflows, training, records management, and audit-readiness tools. APIs exchange part-master and order data with ERP or PLM systems and retrieve inspection results and measurements; requests and responses use UTF-8 JSON and an organization API key. Access is available through web, API, and self-hosted deployment. Standard plans require a one-year minimum and annual billing. Supplier Collaboration and QMS Standard cost $20 a month; Quality Control Standard costs $75 a month.
