CAQ Software
You can use CAQ software to visualize all processes practically and incorporate them into your quality management. That allows you to precisely analyze your production data and document production processes. On this page, you can read about how QDA supports your quality assurance processes.
What is computer-aided quality (CAQ)?
CAQ is an element of quality management that uses computers to help determine a company’s quality assurance goals. It encompasses the entire lifecycle of a product, from drafting to release. CAQ software recognizes and eliminates sources of error with the goal of continually improving processes and products and reducing processing, reaction, and response times.
Disadvantages of production processes without CAQ software
You can fulfill CAQ requirements to some extent even if you do not have CAQ system – however, doing so requires lots of staff and “paperwork.” Errors during manual data entry can result in incorrect conclusions and measures.
The result is increased production waste and avoidable costs for production, staff, waste removal, and complaints. Without a CAQ system, you cannot guarantee the sustainability of a product and the production process, and you endanger your good image.
Advantages of production with CAQ software
Predicting algorithms avoid production errors
Avoiding defective products reduces costs
Avoiding waste and saving energy improves sustainability
Higher level of transparency in the entire product lifecycle
Better internal communication by bundling all data relevant to quality
Support during the implementation of standards and guidelines
Promotion of an ongoing improvement process
Advantages of our CAQ software
Quality data comes into being everywhere during your production: During planning for APQPs, during the preparation of Failure Mode and Effects Analyses (FMEAs), as well as during production. You can use our CAQ software QDA to record your quality data centrally in order to create targeted evaluations. That way, you know exactly where you have room for improvement.
By systematically using our CAQ system and other QDA SOLUTIONS tools, you will increase your productivity and accelerate your “time to market.” Additionally, you promote good cross-department communication. The modules interlock and reliably record your quality data. In addition, we can incorporate our CAQ software into your existing IT infrastructure (e.g. ERP, MES, MOM, or PLM).
- Approx. 75% time savings for initiating non-conformance issues,
- Approx. 40 % time savings for processing non-compliance issues,
- 30% reduction in staff costs

Functions of our CAQ software
QDA offers you software tools that map the processes in your company in the standard solution. All product modules focus on validated data recording, monitored communication in the company, and provisioning resilient dashboards for all hierarchies.
The QDA modules can be divided into two groups. The planning and design areas cover APQP, FMEA, and PPAP, for example. The results gleaned from this are incorporated into production modules such as SPC, LIMS, or Non-Conformance Management.
Our QDA solution is available on all mobile devices through the app or your web browser, and data can be captured both online and offline. By using our technology platform, you can also reduce the operational costs of QDA.

Benefits for you
QDA guarantees a quick ROI (return on investment): If you use our software products, you will achieve results with a high savings potential and, in the long term, secure financial advantages for yourself.
You create synergies because the modules for master data, interfaces to ERP systems, and so on can be used together. The systems communicate with one another in an intelligent manner. For example, non-conformance issues can be created directly and automatically from goods receipt.
Or you can productively use a test plan that was created from an FMEA. And if products or parts of products demonstrate abnormalities, you will receive warnings and information from the CAQ system.
Additional unique characteristics: The results are available quickly and around the world. You also benefit from unrestricted transparency and improved customer loyalty.
