Quality

Quality records that finish when the inspection finishes

Quality managers and inspectors walk the site, take photos, and voice their findings like they always have. Now the ITRs, defect reports, and inspection records draft themselves, ready for review and sign-off.

Powered by Storm

Voice notes, photos, measurements become completed quality records.

Built in Dashpivot

One platform for quality, safety, site diaries, inductions, and timesheets.

Works offline

Capture quality data on-site with the mobile app, even without internet.

Audit-ready

Every record is timestamped, signed, and exportable for ISO 9001 audits.

What is a Quality Management System (QMS)?

A quality management system is how a company defines, inspects, and proves the quality of its work, from inspection test plans and commissioning sheets to defect management and audit evidence.

QMS software brings it into one place: records captured on-site as the inspection happens, approvals in real time, and handover documentation that's always ready.

Why use a Quality Management System

Deliver consistent quality at scale

Run the same inspection and testing standards across every site, lot, and crew. No more hoping each team applies them the same way.

Reduce defects and rework

Catch issues at hold and witness points, not at handover. Log defects, route them, and close them out before they hit a client report.

Build traceable evidence

ITPs, ITRs, and acceptance criteria build a clean audit trail that proves quality met spec. No more chasing test records before audits.

Real-time defect visibility

Quality managers see every open defect, severity, and status across projects. No more reconciling spreadsheets at month-end.

Stay audit-ready

ISO 9001 and industry quality standards require timestamped, signed records. A quality management system maintains that trail automatically.

Continuous improvement

Defects, non-conformances, and audit findings feed back into procedures and ITPs. Each finding makes the next one less likely.

Every quality workflow, powered by AI, controlled by your team

From inspections and ITRs to defect management and handover, here's how teams use Dashpivot to run their quality workflows. AI handles the documentation. Your team stays in control.

Quality Inspection

Inspection reports draft themselves as quality managers walk the site. No more typing up notes back at the office, no more delayed findings.

Identified from photos captured on-site

Photos are captured during the walk. Non-conformances and severity ratings are identified from what's in the image.

Transcribed from voice observations

Voice notes are converted into written findings with measurements and corrective actions structured.

Date and location captured automatically

Date, GPS location, and assignment details are populated automatically from the device.

Inspection and Test Plan (ITP)

ITPs draft themselves from project specs and scope of works, with hold points and acceptance criteria pre-populated. No more starting from scratch, no more missed checkpoints.

Built from a description or existing document

Describe the work scope or upload an existing ITP. The template is built with hold points, witness points, and acceptance criteria

Filled from on-site inspection

Inspectors record results at each checkpoint. Observations are mapped to the right row with pass/fail status applied

Signed off before the phase starts

The quality manager validates hold point outcomes, confirms acceptance criteria are met, and approves before the next phase begins

Defect Management

Defects get logged the moment they're spotted, with photos and location attached. No more scattered spreadsheets, no more rejected handovers.

Captured the moment it's found

Photos of the defect and surrounding area are attached to the record automatically.

Transcribed from voice description

Voice descriptions become structured defect records with trade classification and project phase.

Tagged with location, ready for severity

GPS location and severity are populated from the device, ready for assignment.

Inspection and Test Record

ITRs capture themselves as inspections happen on-site. No more remembering measurements hours later, no more missed details.

Captured during the test

Photos of test setups and results are tagged to the corresponding test entries automatically

Transcribed from voice measurements

Voice recordings of measurements and observations are mapped to test method, value, and equipment fields

Auto-matched to acceptance criteria

Pass/fail status against tolerances is applied automatically based on the recorded values

Frequently asked questions

What does the Quality Management System cover?

The Quality Management System covers the full quality documentation lifecycle. It includes quality management plans, inspection and test plans (ITPs), commissioning sheets, inspection and test records (ITRs), inspection and test certificates, quality audits, quality inspections, defect management, and lot management.

Is the Quality Management System standalone, or does it work alongside other Sitemate components?

The Quality Management System sits inside Dashpivot. It works alongside the Sitemate App for front line worker access and Flowsite for integrating quality data into back-office systems. Safety, Field Reporting, and Time and Materials systems can run on the same Dashpivot platform if you need them.

What does a typical quality workflow look like?

A typical quality workflow starts with a quality management plan and ITP at project planning, runs inspections and tests against hold and witness points during work, logs any defects as they're found, and compiles certificates for handover. Each record links to the next, creating a traceable quality chain from plan to proof.

Are there regional variations of common quality documents?

Yes. ITPs are also called inspection and test plans, quality plans, or hold point registers. Quality audits map to ISO 9001 or other industry-specific standards. The platform supports all variants and your terminology can be set in the template.

What does Storm do in the Quality Management System?

Storm generates structured digital templates for quality documents (QMPs, ITPs, commissioning sheets, audit checklists, inspection certificates) when you describe what you need or upload an existing document. It also fills out quality forms by reading voice notes, photos, and field measurements captured on site, and maps them to the right form fields.

Where does the human stay in control?

All AI-generated templates and form fills are drafts until a qualified person reviews and saves them. Quality managers and inspectors approve every record before it's committed. Admins control which workspaces, templates, and fields Storm is allowed to write to.

Does the Quality Management System support ISO 9001 compliance?

Yes. Audit checklists for ISO 9001 and other relevant standards can be generated as templates. Quality records are timestamped, signed off, and linked to project specifications. Documentation is exportable as audit-ready PDFs.

How does the system handle audit trails and traceability?

Every quality record is linked to the project, lot, or work package it belongs to. Hold points, witness points, and acceptance criteria are tracked through inspection records. Each change has a traceable owner, and records can be filtered, searched, and exported for client or auditor review.

How long does it take to set up the Quality Management System?

Most teams are running their first workflow within days. Pre-built templates for common quality documents are ready out of the box, and AI Templates can build custom templates from a description or by importing your existing documents.

Can we tailor the system to match our existing quality processes?

Yes. Every template can be edited to match your terminology, sections, and approval flow. Forms support conditional logic, smart fields, and role-based sign-offs. You can build any workflow without writing code.
