May 12, 2020 (Julian, CA) - For over 10 years, Quality Essentials Suite has been committed to providing Quality departments with a data collection tool that can accommodate transaction volume, adapt to a wide variety of input sources, and promptly provide reporting, such as Certificates of Analysis, to meet shipping requirements.

The latest enhancements found in Quality Essentials Suite Version 2.24.01.065 deliver targeted functionality that only a digital solution can provide in order to reduce the burden and risk associated with data entry. As a result, staff can focus instead on the critical tasks of decision-making and analysis.

With this release, QES introduces its data import tool set. This functionality allows for efficient import of quality control data into the Quality Management System from a wide variety of sources. Files generated from sources that are used frequently can be structurally interpreted with the provided data mapping tools so that importing can be executed with minimum effort. Test results obtained through instruments or other equipment can be easily uploaded into a user's Quality Management System, eliminating errors, reducing labor requirements, and providing system-wide content visibility. Data provided in other electronic forms, such as vendor supplied Certificates of Analysis or archived data in legacy systems, can also be addressed.

The expanded digital benefits found in this release are also realized through the availability of automated email alerts. Quality Essentials Suite ensures that the collaboration benefits of digital solutions are easily achieved by delivering, in this version of the product, user-friendly interfaces for the setup, definition and maintenance of alert events. These alerts can be customized to notify responsible parties for a range of occurrences, including real-time notification of non-conforming incidents. The functionality has been developed so that users will no longer require specialized technical resources to deploy, customize and maintain alerting mechanisms.

"The Quality Department can be a leader in delivering the value of digital transformation to companies of any size because quality control data is so meaningful for monitoring activities and preventing cost expansion," said Frances Donnelly, Director of Product Development and Sales. "With this advanced feature set, QES allows our customer to shift the focus of their labor from the tedious tasks of data entry to the cost-saving tasks of data analysis and error prevention. These efforts are targeted at making collaboration in your quality function easier for both your internal departments and external partners."

The newly-released feature set addresses one of the most significant burdens of legacy QMS, particularly for tools developed in-house, by addressing the need to easily move relevant data to the point of its greatest usefulness. When the data import capabilities are combined with QES' existing data analysis charting and reporting, then the ability to use data rather than review data is unleashed.
