Built to the strictest bar.
Applied across regulated industries.
SQOS runs the same supplier quality record, captured at the source, across regulated discrete manufacturing. The workflows and standards differ by industry; the system of record doesn't.
Aerospace & defense
Where first-article and full traceability are non-negotiable.
First-article inspection, source inspection, and lot traceability aren't optional, and a customer or DCMA audit can pull any record at any time. Reconstructing it from email and spreadsheets is where programs lose time and lose trust.
- FAI and AS9102 evidence captured against the part, not rebuilt after the fact.
- Containment lives inside the SCAR, tied to the lot and disposition.
- Export-controlled data handled with scoped, logged access, and CAC/PIV where required.
Automotive
High volume, tiered supply, zero tolerance for a line-down.
PPAP submissions and 8D responses pile up across hundreds of suppliers, and a missed containment surfaces as a recall risk. The 8D discipline was born here; the tooling around it usually wasn't.
- PPAP and APQP tracked to the part, program, and submission level.
- 8D and SCAR run in-system, with containment tied to the lot.
- Live supplier scorecards and chargebacks across the tier, not a monthly export.
Medical devices
Where the record has to stand up to an FDA inspection.
Device traceability and CAPA have to be complete and attributable, and a supplier nonconformance feeds directly into product risk. Gaps in the record are gaps in the audit.
- Nonconformances and dispositions captured with full part and lot traceability.
- Supplier corrective actions linked to the CAPA they belong to.
- Every action logged, timestamped, and attributable for inspection.
Electronics & EMS
Fast NPI, many suppliers, workmanship standards that vary by customer.
Inspection results and deviations need to move at the speed of the line, across a supplier base that turns over quickly and a set of acceptance criteria that changes by program.
- Inspection routing and results captured at the source, as the work runs.
- Deviations and dispositions tied to the part and lot.
- Counts pulled from MES, so scorecards reflect what actually shipped.
Industrial & general manufacturing
Supplier quality that's real, but under-tooled.
For a lot of manufacturers, supplier quality lives in a spreadsheet and a shared drive. It works until you try to scale it across sites and suppliers, and then the seams show.
- One system of record across sites and suppliers.
- SCAR/8D, NCR/MRB, and scorecards without the spreadsheet sprawl.
- Connectors to the ERP and WMS you already run.
Energy
Long-lead, high-consequence components where an escape is expensive.
Components are long-lead and high-consequence, traceability is mandatory, and the quality record often has to outlive the people who created it and survive the life of the asset.
- Full traceability from receipt through disposition.
- Containment and corrective action tied to the part and lot.
- Audit-ready records retained for the life of the asset.
