Supplier quality software · by qualitas-pro
One source of truth for supplier quality.
qp-squid is the web app where part approvals (PPAP) and supplier audits run in one place, with digital sign-off and live dashboards, so your team and ours always work from the same status instead of a folder of emailed PDFs.
The app
One app for the supplier-quality work
Part approvals and audits usually live across spreadsheets, shared drives and inboxes: each supplier a little different, each revision a guessing game. qp-squid gives every organisation you work with a single, permission-scoped view of exactly where each qualification and audit stands.
- Guided, not freeformDynamic forms walk suppliers through each submission, so nothing is missed and nothing needs re-explaining.
- Everyone sees the same statusA status workflow, from planned through completed to approved, replaces the "any update?" email thread.
- Report on demandGenerate a qualification's PDF report whenever you need it, versioned and ready to share.

In development
Tasks and development plans ship together. Actions raised in an audit or a gemba walk become tasks, and an audit plus its tasks becomes the development plan.
- TasksIn development
Tasks
Actions raised from an audit or a gemba walk become assigned tasks with owners and due dates, tracked against the record they came from.

Development plans
An audit and its tasks together become a supplier development plan you can track to completion, instead of a report that gets filed and forgotten.

AI assistance In development
From complexity to focused action
Turn extensive audit results into structured development plans and task lists. The AI organises complex findings, checks proposed actions for plausibility, and identifies efficiency potential that would otherwise stay hidden in the volume and interdependencies of the data. An authorised person reviews and approves individual tasks, or the complete plan, before release. This saves time, ensures findings lead to action, and improves the consistency and quality of supplier development. It drafts what the Tasks and Development plans modules then track.
- Finding analysis
- Plausibility checks
- Drafted task lists
- Human approval
Development of this AI integration is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE).
How it works
From first article to final approval
The same steps, every part, every supplier, so approvals move at a predictable pace.
- 01 — Set up
Create the qualification
Spin up the project, add the part, and open a part qualification at the right risk level.
- 02 — Collaborate
Fill the guided forms
Supplier and customer complete the dynamic forms together, attachments and all.
- 03 — Sign & approve
Move through the workflow
Sign the forms that need it digitally, then walk the status gates to approval.
- 04 — Track it
Approved, on the dashboard
Everyone is notified, status rolls up to the dashboard, and you generate the PDF report on demand.
