“As we mark Q-Pulse’s 25th anniversary, we are extremely excited by the launch of this beta programme as we build momentum ahead of the official release.”

As well as maintaining the software’s core functionality such as document, audit and corrective action management, the browser-based Q-Pulse 7 comes with powerful dashboard functionality for increased business intelligence, intuitive user experience and the ability to integrate with other business systems.

Launched originally in 1994, Q-Pulse first came into prominence as a quality management solution, helping organisations make the first moves to paper-free control of processes related to document, audit and corrective action management.

Since then, each version has expanded its capability to help Q-Pulse become a trusted solution for more than 2,000 organisations operating in some of the world’s most regulated industries. Currently, the product is embedded in organisations such as KLM, Brussels Airlines and Emirates in aviation, Thermo Fisher Scientific in life sciences and Terex in manufacturing.
