Quality

What is a connected QMS?

A quality management system, or QMS, helps organizations manage controlled quality processes:

CAPAs
Deviations
Complaints
Change control
Document control
Audits
Training
Supplier quality

A connected QMS goes further. It links each quality event to the product, formulation, raw-material, test, batch, specification, and change-history data required to investigate the issue and prevent it from happening again.

Uncountable brings quality management into the same data foundation as R&D, laboratory operations, product lifecycle management, and manufacturing. Quality teams can move from finding a deviation to understanding the evidence behind it without rebuilding the story across disconnected systems.

Quality evidence shouldn't live somewhere else

Many quality systems are separate from labs, requiring manual evidence gathering for deviations. Uncountable's QMS integrates directly with formulation and test data, providing immediate context for quality events and enabling direct specification changes.

Quality event CAPA-0468 marked open, showing out-of-spec deviation type from QC Line 3, status root cause, owned by Quality Eng. Linked evidence includes formulation revision 14, batch record B-2291, raw-material lots from 3 suppliers (6 lots), and test data with certificate of analysis showing 48 results and 1 out-of-spec result.

QMS across one connected platform

Every quality event opens with its full lineage attached, not a blank form and a reconstruction.

‍

Deviations, nonconformances, complaints: Capture every event type in one system, with an out-of-spec QC result able to auto-generate a deviation on the spot.

The evidence is already linked: Each event links to the formulation revision, batch record, raw-material lots, and test data behind it, so the investigation starts with the facts in hand.

Nothing captured in isolation: Because it is one model with R&D and QC, an event is connected to its cause from the moment it is logged.

Containment and disposition captured up front: The containment action and the product disposition are logged the moment the event is opened, not reconstructed later for the investigation report.

Quality events page showing CAPA-0468 investigation for coatings and paints opened from a QC out-of-spec result dated May 22, 2026, with progress tabs for Draft, Investigation (highlighted), Corrective Action, and Verified, and linked records including Formulation Revision Rev 14, Batch Record B-2291, Raw-Material Lot VX9110-2512A, and Test Data Incoming COA.
The CAPA executes the spec change. One action, one system, zero handoffs between quality and R&D.

‍

Stage-gate CAPA: Corrective and preventive actions run through a configurable stage-gate workflow, each linked to the triggering formulation revision, batch, and test data.

Correct at the source: Because quality and R&D share one model, a corrective action can update the specification and product record directly, not end in a document someone else has to action.

Root cause on evidence: The full history behind the event is one click away, so the correction addresses the cause rather than the symptom.

Predictive risk scoring: Quality events are scored for risk as they're logged, so the CAPAs most likely to escalate surface first.

Control what changes, and keep every version and approval on the record.

‍

Change control with impact assessment: Changes route through impact assessments and multi-level approvals, so nothing changes without the right review.

Document and SOP control: Versioned document and SOP control keeps controlled documents current, with an SOP change able to trigger retraining.

Supplier quality: Raw-material lots and supplier records are tied to the events they cause, so supplier issues are traceable, not anecdotal.

Classification-driven approval paths: Administrative changes move through a lighter path; major changes get full multi-level scrutiny, so the review matches the risk instead of one approval chain for everything.

Change Control screen for CC-0512 pending approval, showing a specification update requested on June 2, 2026, with medium risk level, affecting 3 SOPs, requested by Dana Whitmore at Cedar Ridge site, effective date June 16, 2026. Approval routing status shows Submitted and QA Review completed in green, Dept. Approval in blue, and Final Sign-off pending in grey. Affected SOPs listed are SOP-114 Incoming Inspection (Rev 6 to Rev 7), SOP-118 Batch Release (Rev 3 to Rev 4), and SOP-122 Supplier Incoming Spec (Rev 9 to Rev 10).
Prove it to any auditor, across every site, on one connected platform.

‍

Audit trails & e-signatures: Automatic, meeting FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11, so audit prep is a report, not a scramble.

Training & competency: An SOP change triggers retraining, tracked to completion, so competency stays current.

Global harmonization: One quality system across sites, with governed site-level customization.

Connected to R&D, QC & PLM: The formulation, test data, and product record behind every event, on one model.

Dashboards & reports: Open-CAPA aging, deviations by source, overdue actions, and audit readiness across sites.

Guided rollout: Your deviation, CAPA, and change-control processes configured in during a staged implementation.

Audit Trail Field-Level Change Log table showing who changed what and when: Dana Whitmore changed Status from Draft to Pending Approval on Jun 2, 9:14 AM; Dana Whitmore set Risk Level to Medium on Jun 2, 9:20 AM; Marcus Feld approved with QA Approved on Jun 2, 11:47 AM. Electronically signed by Marcus Feld on Jun 2, 2026, 11:47 AM, compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11.
Your approval routing, your escalation rules, your field labels, configured to match how your organization already runs quality, not the other way around.

‍

Admin-configured, not hardcoded: Stage-gate steps, approval routing, and escalation rules are set by your quality admins in the platform, not built into the code, so the workflow matches your SOPs from day one and changes when they do.

Governed customization, not chaos: Each site can tailor forms, fields, and routing to local requirements, while a shared global process keeps everything auditable and comparable across sites.

Configured in, not bolted on: Your deviation, CAPA, and change-control processes are configured during a guided, staged implementation, so the system reflects how your team already works before go-live.

Screenshot of CAPA Workflow Settings interface showing a CAPA stage-gate workflow with five stages: Investigate, Root Cause, Corrective Action, Verify, and Close. The Corrective Action stage is selected and in editing mode. Approval rule for this stage is set with QA Manager as approver role. If no action is taken after 3 days, it escalates to QA Director. E-signature is required to approve. A note indicates approvers are notified when a CAPA enters this stage, and if no action occurs in the escalation window, it's routed to the escalation role.

From quality event to closed-loop improvement

When a deviation, complaint, out-of-specification result, or production issue occurs, quality teams need more than a case record. They need to understand what changed and what evidence supports the next decision. With Uncountable, teams can connect a quality event to the relevant data across the product lifecycle.

1
Record the event
Capture the deviation, complaint, nonconformance, investigation, or CAPA.
2
Find the evidence
Review affected specifications, test results, materials, formulations, batches, product revisions, and related changes.
3
Investigate the cause
Identify patterns, compare historical events, and involve the appropriate R&D, QC, manufacturing, supplier, or product stakeholders.
4
Control the corrective action
Manage approvals, actions, change control, documentation, and training requirements.
5
Reuse the learning
Make the closed investigation part of the product and quality record so the organization can prevent recurrence.

Explore the QMS capabilities

When a quality complaint comes in, teams need more than a shared inbox. They need a clear path from intake to resolution.

‍

Structured intake: Complaints are captured in a structured form through Uncountable's customer-facing portal, so the right details arrive from the start and flow straight into the platform.

One connected workflow: Triage, severity, investigation, customer communication, and responsibility determination are tracked in a single workflow, not spread across email and spreadsheets.

End-to-end visibility: Quality teams follow each case from the original complaint through follow-up, approvals, and final closure, with the record intact for audit.

Keep competency current as procedures change, without a separate training system to reconcile.

‍

Role-based assignment: Training and competency are tracked and assigned by role, so the right people are qualified for the work they do.

Triggered by change: When an SOP changes, the associated retraining is triggered and tracked to completion, so nothing falls through the cracks.

On the same record: Training records sit in the same system as the documents and quality events they relate to, ready for inspection.

Plan, schedule, and run quality audits on the same platform that holds the evidence.

‍

Build and schedule from templates: Create reusable audit templates, such as an ISO 9001 audit, and schedule them, so audit programs run on a cadence rather than ad hoc.

Findings stay linked: Audit findings connect to the events, documents, and records they relate to, so follow-up actions are traceable to their source.

Audit readiness across sites: Automatic audit trails and one connected system make preparation a report rather than a scramble.

What changes when quality is built in

The old way

Three layers of quality intelligence, not just tracking
Correlation links a finding to its CAPA instantly, pattern detection surfaces repeat sources, and risk scoring flags the next likely nonconformance.
AI applied to structured quality data, not a bolt-on chatbot tool.

Deploy standalone or integrate with your existing systems

Every Uncountable product can be deployed on its own, combined for a fully native suite, or connected with your existing R&D, LIMS, PLM, MES, or ERP systems and lab instruments. So quality events and change data flow into the same record instead of a new silo.
‍

Leading-indicator dashboards
Open CAPAs, trends, and aging investigations surface automatically, so the team knows where to act first.
One data layer, every source
Every module shares one data layer, so the platform learns from history instead of starting fresh each time.
AI-assisted analysis
Connected records speed up correlation and pattern discovery, turning root cause work into a decision, not a search.
Preventative controls
Governed workflows catch mistakes at the point of capture, so teams don't inherit preventable messes.
Traceability & permissions
Every action stays attributable and audit-ready, giving stakeholders visibility without losing control.
Your portfolio, formulations, and results are among your most valuable IP. Uncountable keeps them isolated, encrypted, auditable, and never used to train foundation models.
SOC 2 Type II
AES-256 encryption at rest
Single sign-on (SSO)
Data isolated per customer
ISO 27001
Role-based access
Full audit trails
Never used to train foundation models

The CAPA executes the spec change.

When quality events and the data that explains them live on one model, a corrective action reaches the specification directly, and the loop between quality and R&D finally closes. One action, one system, zero handoffs.

FAQs

What Is Uncountable QMS?

Uncountable QMS is the quality management capability of the Uncountable platform, part of the Quality suite. It runs CAPA, nonconformance and deviation tracking, complaint management, change control, and document and SOP control, with every quality event linked to the formulation revision, batch record, raw-material lots, and test data behind it. It is built into the platform, not a bolt-on.

What quality processes does it cover?

CAPA management with a stage-gate workflow, nonconformance and deviation tracking, complaint management, change control with impact assessments and multi-level approvals, document and SOP control, supplier quality management, and training and competency tracking, all with audit trails and e-signatures.

Can we harmonize quality across multiple sites?

Yes. QMS supports global harmonization with governed site-level customization, so every site runs the same quality processes while still accommodating local requirements, under one auditable system.

Does QMS connect to QC and our instruments?

Yes. An out-of-spec result in QC can automatically open a deviation, and certificates of analysis and SPC data sit inside the CAPA. QMS connects to R&D, LIMS, PLM, ERP, and 400+ lab instruments, so quality events and their evidence stay linked end to end.
