Its native iPhone and Android apps support offline audits; work can be uploaded to a central database when internet access returns. Reports can be customized and printed as PDFs, and management can generate KPI reports for audits and non-conformances. The feature list also includes audit scheduling, archiving, and follow-up audits for non-conformance tracking. NiftyISO runs on Android, iOS, and the web. The Essential plan is $9 a month for 2 users, Professional is $25 a month for 5 users, and Premium is $75 a month for 15 users. A seven-day free trial is offered; no free plan is listed.

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.
