Cloud QMS software for manufacturers, wherever you operate
Replace shared folders, spreadsheets and paper registers with one web portal for documents, records, audits and corrective actions. Hosted in the cloud region you choose, or on your own servers.
Why manufacturers move their QMS to a portal
Many certified manufacturers still run their quality system on a shared drive and a set of spreadsheets. It works until an audit: an operator uses an obsolete work instruction, a record is missing a signature, or nobody can show when a procedure was last reviewed. Each of these becomes a finding.
Large enterprise QMS suites solve this, but they are often priced per user per month, take months to implement and are built around a single standard. For a mid-sized manufacturer with many shop-floor users and several certifications, the cost and the complexity are hard to justify.
The Zefron QMS Portal was designed by people who run IT and quality systems inside a multi-site electronics manufacturer. It runs single-tenant in your own cloud subscription, as a private instance we host, or on your own servers, so you decide where your data lives. One portal covers ISO 9001, IATF 16949, ISO 13485, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 22000 and ISO 27001 together.

| Requirement | How the portal supports it |
|---|---|
| Several sites, possibly in different countries | Sites, departments and numbering are configurable; each site can have its own approval workflows. |
| Group companies with separate data | One database per legal entity, each with its own users, numbering and branding. |
| Data residency requirements | Deployed in the cloud region you choose, or on-premise in your own facility. |
| Users already in Microsoft 365 | User sync with Microsoft 365 and import from HR exports. |
| Many shop-floor users | Licensed per organisation, not per user per month. |
| Several certifications at once | ISO 9001, IATF 16949, ISO 13485, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 22000 and ISO 27001 in one portal. |
