Automatically monitor and manage global suppliers and contract manufacturers
In today’s global economy, manufacturing companies rely on numerous suppliers,
vendors, contract manufacturers, and service providers to bring product to the consumer.
By enabling the capture, analysis, and assessment of quality related issues, AssurX Supplier Quality Management (SQM) creates total transparency and visibility into the supply chain. It provides instant traceability and real time monitoring across the supplier network.
AssurX SQM is a 100% Web-based, closed loop quality management system. It works to reduce
rework, bad shipments, and ensure quality at the source—wherever that source may
be—lowering your cost of manufacturing. The software is available as either OnPremise or OnDemand (SaaS).
The AssurX SQM solution extends your quality management reach with these key benefits:
- Automates and improves parts,
sub-assembly and product quality
across the supplier network while
reducing manufacturing costs

loop supplier quality management
solution with real time data capture

material movements, linking critical
process and product information
across your entire supply network

intelligence that can be accessed

A comprehensive solution, the AssurX SQM system offers the following key features that are built-in, right out of the box such as:
Built-in Business Performance Metrics/Management Dashboards: Unlike other systems that rely on third party tools to generate reports and metrics, AssurX SQM comes with user-configurable built-in dashboards, metrics and ad-hoc query functionality that allows for real-time trending and analysis.
Approved Lists and Supplier Score Cards – Manage your supplier base with specific information related to each supplier and monitor their performance with scorecards.
Incoming Inspection, Issues, and CAPA – Gain real time visibility to incoming material, parts, subassemblies, or raw material with inspections at the source. Dashboards and analytics with drill down data enable identification of potential issues and identify potential corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
Nonconformance Tracking – Identify supplier nonconformances resulting from inspections, audits, or other means and track these through to resolution.
Best Practices Workflow: AssurX has simplified and streamlined an end-to-end workflow for processing all event intakes, reportable and non-reportable. In addition, unlimited best practices workflows can be added, and modifications to existing template workflows can be easily done with point-and-click configuration.
Integration with other Systems: AssurX SQM easily integrates with ERP, PLM, CRM, and MES solutions to automate the quality processes and procedures across the enterprise – so quality issues originating at a supplier are immediately notified and acted upon.
Automatic Escalation and Notification – Establish business rules and workflows to ensure timely escalation and notification of problems before they become real issues. Suppliers can also respond to issues and resolve problems faster.
Compliance – AssurX SQM is validated and comes with IQ/OQ validation templates. Our professional services group can perform your validation and help you with creating your PQ based on industry best practices by following the latest regulatory guidelines. AssurX SQM is 21 CFR Part 11 compliant for FDA regulated companies.
