FAQ

Answers

What is EasyQualityFlow?
Quality engineering software for manufacturing. It connects the sequence a part goes through — part record and characteristics, APQP planning, DFMEA and PFMEA, process flow, control plan, inspection, SPC and PPAP submission — with a governance layer covering controlled documents, approval routes, customer requirements and requirement profiles.
How is it different from a document management system?
The source of truth is structured data rather than files. A characteristic, a failure mode, a control and a measurement are records with relationships between them, so a control plan is a view of data other documents also draw on. In a document system, the data stays trapped inside each file and the relationships exist only in someone’s head.
Do we need an ERP?
No. An ERP is one optional source of part and process data. You can enter data directly or import it from spreadsheets, and the setup process is designed for a company starting with no integration at all.
Does it support AIAG-VDA FMEA?
The AIAG-VDA method and terminology are implemented, with revisions and a Draft → Review → Released workflow. The software provides the structure, workflow and calculations. It is not an AIAG or VDA product and holds no endorsement from either; the manuals and rating tables are licensed to you and referenced rather than reproduced.
Is there AI in the product?
Not today, and we are deliberate about saying so. The derivation between documents is rule-based and the statistics are the standard formulas. AI-assisted capability is on the roadmap and labelled as roadmap wherever it appears on this site.
How is our data separated from other companies’ data?
Every record is scoped to the company that owns it, and the scoping is enforced on the server rather than hidden in the interface. It is covered by an automated regression suite that fails if the separation weakens — a test that has caught real defects, which is why it exists.
Can approved documents be edited?
No. An approved document is superseded by a new revision with a change reason, and revision history is retained. The version somebody approved stays exactly as they approved it.
Can it produce documents in our customer’s format?
Yes. Requirement profiles hold what a given customer requires and form templates produce their expected output format from the same structured record, so different customers are configuration rather than duplicated work.
What does it cost?
Pricing is not published yet. Email support@easyqualityflow.com with your team size and we will give you a specific answer.
How do we get started?
Create an account, then work through setup with your own data. If you would rather talk first, use the same address above.
