Quality Control Software
Control quality where it’s made. Digital inspection checklists for goods-in, in-process, and final checks; defects captured at source with photos; and full part-to-supplier traceability — so problems are caught on the floor, not at the customer, and the data drives prevention.
What QC teams achieve with Q-Hub
Catch the defect where it happens — not at the customer
Quality control is the operational job of checking that what you make meets spec — at goods-in, on the line, and before it ships. When those checks live on paper clipboards, missed steps and unrecorded defects slip through to the customer. Q-Hub puts every inspection on a device, captures the defect at source, and makes it traceable.
Digital Inspection Checklists
Replace paper inspection sheets with digital checklists completed on a tablet or phone — mandatory steps that can’t be skipped, tolerances built in, and results captured straight into the system with photos.
Learn moreIncoming (Goods-In) Inspection
Inspect and disposition incoming material before it enters production — accept, reject, or quarantine — so a supplier’s defect never becomes your defect further down the line.
Learn moreIn-Process & Final Checks
Run first-off, in-process, and final inspections at the right points in the build — so you find the problem on the line while it’s cheap to fix, not in the finished-goods store.
Learn moreDefect Capture at Source
When a check fails, raise a nonconformance on the spot — categorised, photographed, and quantified — instead of a scribbled note that never makes it into a system.
Learn moreDefect → Root-Cause Traceability
Every defect is linked to its part, batch, machine, and shift — so you can trace a recurring problem back to its cause and prove where a bad batch went.
Learn moreQuality Metrics & Trends
Turn captured defects into live first-pass-yield, defect-rate, and scrap trends by product, line, and supplier — so quality control drives prevention, not just detection.
Learn moreA caught defect is only half the job
Finding a defect matters, but stopping it coming back is what moves the numbers. In Q-Hub a failed check doesn’t just get recorded — it feeds the wider quality system so the root cause gets fixed for good.
- A failed inspection raises a nonconformance automatically
- Recurring defects escalate into corrective actions (CAPA)
- Supplier defects feed straight into supplier performance
- Every check builds the traceability record your customers ask for
Digital QC versus clipboards and a spreadsheet
Paper inspection sheets can be skipped, lost, or filled in after the fact, and a defect spreadsheet has no traceability. Operational QC needs checks enforced at the point of work and defects linked to their source.

Quality control software questions
Quality control is the operational job of checking products against spec — incoming, in-process, and final inspection — and catching defects at source. Quality management is the wider system that governs it. This page is about the hands-on control job; our QMS page covers the management system around it.
Yes. Inspections are completed on a tablet or phone at the machine or goods-in bay, with mandatory steps, built-in tolerances, and photo capture — no paper sheets to lose or fill in later.
Yes. You can run goods-in inspection with accept/reject/quarantine disposition, first-off and in-process checks on the line, and final inspection sign-off before dispatch.
Every defect is linked to its part, batch, machine, supplier, and shift, so you can trace a recurring problem to its cause and prove exactly where a suspect batch went.
Yes. A failed inspection raises a categorised nonconformance on the spot, and recurring defects escalate into corrective actions — so control turns into prevention rather than just detection.
Most organisations are live in around four weeks — we digitise your inspection checklists, set up goods-in and in-process checks, and configure defect capture and traceability.

Prevent
Trends and CAPA drive out the root cause for good.
