AutoQual AS

A view at a glance

In the automotive sector, reaction speed and complete traceability are critical when quality anomalies occur. Automotive Quality Alerting Service (AutoQual AS) is a professional, web-based platform designed by Omnium Software Products to digitalize and streamline how supplier, internal and customer-driven quality alerts are managed, tracked, and closed.

Built to run securely within your company’s internal network (on-premise IIS server), AutoQual AS replaces chaotic emails and manual paperwork with a centralized, automated system.

Future-Ready: 8D Methodology Extension (Optional module)

The platform can be extended with a dedicated module to manage the entire 8D problem-solving process (D1 to D8) directly within the same database. Future integration allows teams to log the 5 Why analysis, Ishikawa diagrams, and track corrective/preventive actions (CAPA) linked to the original alert.
