AS9100 & ISO 9001 · Built for growing manufacturers

A quality management system that doesn't need an MRP budget.

Document control, corrective actions, audits, supplier management, training, calibration and more — in one place, without the six-figure MRP or MES system to run it.

NCR-0042 closed · Cal due — Micrometer 3, 4 days · Audit scheduled for Process 4.2

A look inside

The Clarity QMS quality dashboard: open and overdue NCRs, audits, pending purchase-order approvals, calibration due, and stock expiring within 30 days, beside the module navigation.
The quality dashboard — live counts across every module, and what is waiting on you. Shown on our demonstration company.
Module cards from the Clarity QMS dashboard: Processes, Customers, Quotes, Contract Review, Design & Development, First Article Inspection, Route Card Planning, Order Acknowledgements, Capacity Planning, KPI Reporting, Quality Policy & Scope and Document Control.
Every module one click from the dashboard — the ones your organisation has switched on.

Included as standard

Ten modules every certified organisation needs, on for everyone, always. These are the clause requirements you cannot opt out of — so they are not something you have to configure, remember, or pay extra for.

✓

Document Control

Full revision history, controlled access, no more "which version is this?"

✓

Nonconformity Management

Nonconformities and corrective actions tracked from root cause to close-out, with the closed ones filed out of the way of the live list.

✓

Internal Audit Management

Plan, conduct and record internal audits, with findings linked straight to corrective actions.

✓

Management Review

Formal periodic review of your quality system, with a full record of actions agreed.

✓

Quality Policy & Scope

Your policy and the scope of your certification, version-controlled, so the current one is never in doubt.

✓

Objectives Tracker

Quality objectives with owners, targets and progress — kept up to date through the year rather than written the week before an audit.

✓

COTO Log

Context of the organisation: interested parties, risks and opportunities, recorded and reviewed.

✓

Staff & Training

Who is employed, what they are qualified to do, and when competence expires.

✓

Customers

Customer records, with the contact details that appear on every document you issue.

✓

KPI Log

The performance indicators clause 4.4 asks for — measured, trended and reviewed in one place.

Configurable for how you work

Thirteen more, switched on only if they apply to you. A services business is not cluttered with production tooling; a manufacturer gets the full order-to-delivery chain. You choose, and you can change your mind — and if you already run something well elsewhere, leave it switched off.

Configurable means relevant to you, not chargeable. Switching a module on or off is about how your business actually works, not about what you pay for.

+

Suppliers

Approval status and delivery scoring, calculated automatically.

+

Calibration

Equipment, intervals and certificates — know what is due before it becomes a finding.

+

Process Module

Your processes mapped and owned, linked to the audits and objectives that cover them.

+

Contract Review

A structured, sign-off-driven check before you accept an order — full or lightweight for repeat work.

+

Quote

Quotations out to a customer chosen from your list, with your terms of sale, notes and a preview before anything is sent.

+

Order Acknowledgement

Accepted orders confirmed automatically once contract review is approved.

+

Route Card Planning

Plan production operation by operation, with a printable route card and a scannable work tag for the shop floor — including final inspection sign-off and certificates of conformity before a job goes out.

+

Purchasing & RFQ

Request quotes, record what each supplier answered, and raise the purchase order from the chosen one — with spend limits, approval that locks the order until it is re-approved, and your purchasing terms and invoicing instructions on every PO.

+

Capacity Planning

A drag-and-drop scheduling board across your machines and workstations.

+

Notice Board

Shop-floor notices with a record of what was posted, by whom, and when it came down.

+

Design & Development

Structured support for AS9100/ISO 9001 clause 8.3 — design planning, reviews, verification and validation, all in one place.

+

First Article Inspection

Full AS9102 First Article Inspection — Forms 1, 2 and 3, plus a searchable register, generated straight from your route card.

+

Stock Inventory Management

A Goods Inwards page that lists what is still to arrive; split deliveries booked in part by part; shelf-life materials that cannot be received without an expiry date or allocated once it has passed; every delivery graded for the supplier record as it comes in. Batches, certificates, locations and every movement, with the ledger an auditor asks to see.

Why we built this

We built Clarity QMS after watching too many small manufacturers pay big money for MRP and MES systems, only to find themselves logging out so a colleague can get in.

If you're a smaller aerospace or precision engineering business — the kind that can't justify thousands in licensing and per-seat fees for the big MRP and MES platforms — Clarity QMS gives you a simpler, focused alternative: proper AS9100 and ISO 9001 quality management, built by someone who's actually sat inside businesses like yours as a consultant and auditor, not a software company guessing what quality teams need.

No per-seat limits. Everyone who needs to be in the system — quality, production, engineering — can be in it at the same time, because it's built to work the way a small team actually works.

We're not trying to be everything. We're trying to be the quality system that just works, at a price that makes sense for a 10-50 person shop, without the bloat, the training courses, and the "call your implementation partner" complexity that comes with the bigger names.

How your data is handled

Plain statements, not assurances. Each of these has been tested rather than assumed.

✓

Held in the UK

Your quality data, uploaded documents and backups are all in London.

✓

One client can never see another

Separation is enforced by the database itself, not by the application remembering to ask. Verified end to end, in both directions.

✓

Your data, on demand

Any administrator can export the whole of it at any time — every module as spreadsheets, plus every document you have uploaded. No request, no waiting, no notice period.

✓

Two-factor authentication

Available to every user, on any account.

✓

Every change attributed

Who did what, and when, in an audit log your quality manager can read and filter — including anything we do on your behalf.

Cyber Essentials: in progress

Not yet granted. We build to the underlying principles of ISO 27001 information security practice, and we will publish the certificate here the day it is issued — not before.

Get early access

A closed beta with a small number of manufacturers runs through autumn 2026. Places are limited and some are already spoken for — leave your details and we will tell you honestly whether we can fit you in, or come back to you for general availability. If you would like to see it first, we can give you a login to a populated demonstration company so you can raise quotes and orders yourself.

No spam — just a note when we're ready for you.
