Q-Hub and Q-Pulse are established eQMS platforms helping regulated teams digitise quality and compliance.
Q-Pulse (Ideagen Quality Management) is long-standing and widely deployed; Q-Hub is a modern, cloud-first alternative worth evaluating alongside legacy suites.
Q-Hub starts with transparent pricing from £75/month, scaling cleanly from small teams to multi-site enterprises.
The result is a pricing structure that stays accessible for SMEs while remaining competitive for complex, regulated organisations with thousands of users.
Subscription with annual platform fee + per-user licensing; implementation and validation priced separately. Professional Standard platform fee £15,000/year with Professional Plus around £20,000/year.
Q-Pulse’s model suits organisations that want to assemble a tailored stack, but the platform fee + per-seat licences and add-on modules make total cost scale quickly compared with Q-Hub’s pricing.
Q-Hub delivers a massive range of eQMS capabilities with an emphasis on configurability and customisation.
Q-Hub lets administrators shape screens for different user groups, making tasks simpler for operators and giving richer insights to leaders. Focuses on providing a suite of tools that allows an entirely bespoke and tailored experience unmatched by any other system.
Comprehensive quality suite covering documents, audits, CAPA, incidents, training, suppliers, assets, dashboards, and mobile.
Several capabilities are carved into optional modules and editions, which can introduce cost and configuration overhead.
Q-Hub is designed for speed and clarity. The interface uses clean layouts, smart defaults, and role-based workspaces so users see only the tasks and data they need.
These features help to reduce training time dramatically for frontline teams. Unlike older systems that enforce one “best” way of working, Q-Hub adapts to your processes. The net effect is a modern app that people actually enjoy using, which drives adoption and better data quality.
Modernised browser UI since version 7 with dashboards; operational screens remain form-centric and process-driven.
Q-Pulse’s move to a browser-based interface added dashboards and improved discoverability, but day-to-day work still leans on traditional form workflows. Mobile helps frontline adoption; conversely, the web client’s partial coverage and desktop’s online-only operation can create training and change-management overhead across roles.
Q-Hub offers a growing range of integration options to suit small businesses or large enterprise data integration.
Q-Hub’s customer success team helps to set up popular scenarios like pushing non-conformance data to ERP, syncing approved supplier lists to procurement.
Open API toolkit supports SOAP/REST/JSON with identity federation; integrations are scoped per customer.
Q-Pulse’s API enables system-to-system connectivity, but its pull-only model and lack of a sandbox can slow event-driven integrations and vendor-neutral testing.
Q-Hub features a modern, uncluttered interface that keeps essential actions a click or two away. Rather than locking users into rigid screens, Q-Hub lets you shape pages, fields, and layouts to match how your business actually works. Role-based home views give teams focused to-dos, while leadership sees live KPIs without digging. That clarity accelerates adoption, reduces training, and raises data completeness—making audits smoother and improvements easier to prove.
Q-Hub ships with ready-to-use templates for deviations, CAPA, change control, audits, training, suppliers, and more. Admins can adapt them with no-code builders and push changes safely via sandboxed configuration—so you launch quickly, then evolve without costly projects. Unlike platforms that require jumping tiers to unlock flexibility, Q-Hub keeps core customisation, automation, and analytics accessible as you grow. Start with one site, add departments, then expand globally without re-implementation.
Q-Hub embeds practical AI to save hours on creating compliance resources. The future AI summarises, will automate long investigations, flags similar issues to prevent duplicates, suggests risk prioritisation based on context, and drafts action items your team can refine. Because the AI is woven into the application, inboxes, and dashboards, people use it where work happens—not in a separate tool. The outcome is faster triage, clearer narratives, and better insight density for managers.
Q-Hub bakes in the controls quality leaders expect: versioned documents with controlled distribution, read-and-understand tracking, e-signatures, audit trails on every configuration change, and granular permissions down to the field. Identity integrations, and robust validation documentation keep IT and QA aligned. The platform’s audit-ready design helps you pass inspections with confidence while still moving quickly day to day.
Q-Hub’s open API, and connectors make it part of your architecture—not a silo. Sync people and training from HRIS, push CAPA milestones into project tools, feed data warehouses for BI, and automate notifications in collaboration suites. Live dashboards transform quality data into decisions: trend defects, track cycle times, watch training completion, and measure audit preparedness. With scheduled exports and governed datasets, stakeholders get trusted numbers without manual spreadsheet work.
“We wish that we had this sooner, its made NCRs so much easier to manage, the team can now focus on getting the issues resolved rather than all the admin”
We have now been able to roll it out to the entire UK group with almost no resistance or issues, allowing the central QHSE team full visibility and management.
There are so many activities that used to fall on quality but now because o Q-Hub we are able to involve all the departments.
