It supports ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 13485, with other standards configurable. Document tools include search, retrieval, version control, access restrictions and approval workflows. Users can make HTML forms with drag-and-drop fields, validations, layouts and business rules without coding. Modules cover audits, change control, management reviews, complaints, nonconformities, corrective actions, training, equipment records and calibration. FlinkISO integrates with ONLYOFFICE for document editing and approval, and can connect to cloud OpenAI-compatible providers or self-hosted Ollama for chat and form-building workflows. Install it on Linux or Windows servers, or use the hosted edition. The Free On-Premise plan is free, with no expiry and all QMS modules. On-Cloud QMS and Form Creation API each cost $80 a month; hosted file uploads are limited to 25 MB each. The Startup Plan is $750 as a one-time purchase for a three-month plan.

QSC QS1 is modular CAQ software for planning, conducting, evaluating, and analyzing supplier, product, process, and internal system audits. Its planning suggestions use master data, past results, intervals, classifications, and risk assessments, with graphical views and calendar functions. Users can adapt predefined catalogs for standards including ISO 9001, VDA 6.3, and ISO 13485, or build catalogs and checklists from scratch. Configurable workflows cover remote, document, team, and self-assessment audits, conducted on mobile devices, through a web portal, or offline. Auditors can record deviations with evidence and route findings into CAPA and corrective-action workflows with deadlines, status monitoring, and effectiveness reviews. External partners can submit fillable PDF self-assessments digitally or offline. Dashboards, KPI monitoring, audit history, and a quality analyzer support reporting. QSC describes QS1 as web-based, platform-independent, and database-independent, with role-based access controls, audit trails, and electronic signatures for approvals. It is listed for Android, iOS, and web. Pricing is on request.
