What it is
GatesFlow QMS is cloud quality-management software for manufacturing, covering FMEA, PPAP, control plans, inspections and corrective and preventive actions. It is designed to support requirements including IATF 16949, ISO 9001, AS9100, ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, APQP and PPAP. FMEA tools handle design and process records, automated RPN calculations, ratings and action tracking. PPAP workflows track 18 elements and support multi-level submissions. CAPA tools cover non-conformances, root-cause analysis, corrective and preventive actions, and 8D reports. The platform also supports internal, supplier and customer audits, supplier scorecards, incoming inspection and supplier PPAP approvals. FMEAs, control plans and inspections can be linked to bills of materials, drawings and specifications for product-to-quality traceability. GatesFlow describes AI agents for quality trend analysis, failure prediction and corrective-action recommendations. A free account has no trial clock and requires no credit card; paid plans start at $20/mo. TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest, role-based access controls and multi-factor authentication are listed security measures.
